Let the good times roll. Yup, just wait till Trump imposes tariffs, hunts down illegal workers and pushes the Apple boycott from his bully pulpit. And let's be real, our global trading partners are dragging down a pretty nice US economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's be real, our global trading partners are dragging down a pretty nice US economy So let me get this straight. 2007-2015 - Economy bad? You talk about Bush 2016-? Economy bad? You talk about Trump. At what point when we discuss the bad economy do you talk about the current President? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So let me get this straight. 2007-2015 - Economy bad? You talk about Bush 2016-? Economy bad? You talk about Trump. At what point when we discuss the bad economy do you talk about the current President? When the policies of the president directly affect something in the economy. Like Bush promised a miracle economy with his tax cuts, and we got a massive recession instead. Obama promised a recovery and we got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why in response to an article talking about a 1% growth rate did you feel it necessary to bring up Trump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 From the initial page of this thread.................in 2013 Before we get into all the "numbers" on each side, let's remember;The American economy ALWAYS recovers from each recession.According to the NBER, our recession ended in June 2009.Our slow recovery this time is due to the economic policies of the Obama Administration.They do not deserve credit for "saving us", that was inevitable, but blame for the abysmal job creation and the transformation of our economy into a "Part-Time Worker" base..

Tiberius Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 1) Please explain how the Bush tax cuts caused the 2008 global recession? 2) And why in response to an article talking about a 1% growth rate did you feel it necessary to bring up Trump? 1) I never said they caused the Bush Recession. But where was the economic miracle promised? Where?? 2) Because what he is proposing is auctually pretty bad for the economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't say that directly but you did indirectly especially in your response about calling the global recession The Bush Recession. Why else would you refer to it as the Bush Recession? 2. How will his proposals be bad for the economy? Edited February 26, 2016 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the sitting US President is responsible for the global economy?? 2. I'm not discussing this with the news I'm discussing it with you. You are the one that brought it up. BTW I tend to agree with some of the tax reforms that will be good for the economy. I like his doing away with the Estate Tax however, and I may get many that disagree, I think they should also do away with the step up in basis at death.
