Considering the Republican Opposition to any and everything President Obama has proposed it is a miracle that the economy has recovered at all! Republican policies of austerity would have mired us in a disastrous depression as they are doing in Europe. We simply cannot afford austerity. President Obama’s policies have prevented the depression while actually LOWERING the debt.

Calling for home loan interest rates above 4 to 5% would be a disaster just as removing the requirement for a 20% down payment proved to be. We may need more housing in some places but we cannot afford to have speculation return to that, or IMHO, any market.

We are doing better but not as well as we could if we installed protective tariffs to secure our (Union) wage structure while allowing an international market in finance and banking.

//Sarcasm OffWhy do so many people today believe with all their hearts government knows best how to accomplish anything? The only thing government accomplishes is driving up the cost, establishing monopolies and screwing up the works.


Creating bubbles have very funny consequences.
POP!

U6 (full) unemployment rate is 14.5%. I suspect it to be a tad bit higher, but this is much more realistic.

Considering that Barack Obama is in office it is a miracle that the economy has recovered at all!

Greg: Low interest rates are wonderful but have you heard of this thing called inflation?

This why they are liberals. It must be some kind of "new math", in which increasing the debt from $10 trillion to $17 trillion actually lowers the debt. It is kind of like when the liberals say that "global warming" causes "global cooling".

if bush did exactly what obama is doing: the right would love him, the left would hate him.

It is hard to find true people who are not dedicated and in love with their party. Keep in mind, way at the top, there is no difference. only their shade of their skin. that is about the only difference.
