It is a failed economy that started under Bush and was set up in the 90's by both parties that Obama was elected during and has failed to do anything to make better.
It is now Obamas failed economy and it will continue to be until some improvement happens under him with his policies
Thats how
He gave you just what you wanted, the biggest tax cuts in US history.
To help kids out with their future, Texas, run by Republicans, and already 42nd in funding per pupil, just decided to cut funding to public education by 13% more.
Sorry, this can be laid at the feet of many people, including your typical American who borrowed up to his eyeballs for a new boat "on the house," but trying to pin this turd on Obama is just deceitful. Obama has not raised regulations, taxes, or anything that has had any substantive effect. This whole snowjob is getting damn old.
The GOP refused to help with this recovery in any bipartisan fashion. Instead, they have used the politics of opportunism. And they are going to get shipped in November, because this mangy dog won't hunt.
Whoa there, pardner.
Nothing in my post had anything to what Obama inherited. The condition of the economy on Inauguration Day 2009 had nothing to do with Obama, and I agree that the causes of the mess were multiple and involved many millions of us.
If you don't think Dodd Frank has crippled the community banking system, you haven't talked to any independent bankers. If you don't think the NLRB has been anti-employment, you haven't been paying attention. The expansion of the Clean Air Act will shut down 10% of the cement plants in the country, a larger fraction of our electricity generation capacity, and impact many other heavy industries. If you don't see the connection between that and unemployment, you are willfully blind. Even big Obama supporter Warren Buffett was dismayed by the unprecedented trampling of secured lenders and bondholders in the UAW bailout.
Obama inherited a mess. Every day in every way, his policies are making it worse. He owns the worst recovery ever.
The Republican obstruction has been on a par with doctors thwarting disease. Overpaying for used cars in order to crush them does not improve our wealth or wellbeing as a society. Neither does taking money from some people (or borrowing it from China) to bribe other people to buy homes. And subsidizing the unsustainable state and local government payrolls, burdened by pension abuses and excess staffing, is not like building the Hoover Dam or putting a man on the moon, or even building roads and bridges. We cannot waste enough money to regain prosperity, despite what President Obama or you may believe.
I'm sorry, there was no crap in my original post. Your blind dismissal of any criticism of the counterproductive policies of President Obama call into question your willingness to consider the raw facts and the flat truth of the weakest recovery on record.
Kick all the damn illegals and anchor babies out and let's see where we stand.
That's not even in the realm of possibility, but right wing rights can't get that through their heads.
But they have a plan.
They are willing to cut their own kids and grandkids educations funds just to stick it to brown people.
Racism and tribalism are powerful forces with low IQ voters.
