3rdnlng Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 So the recession Reagan had to deal with wasn't nearly as severe as the one Obama inherited from Bush. What does that do to the "historical average" I wonder? You're an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Funny how the other Presidents and Congresses figured out a way to get the economy moving in the right direction after about six months. But this !@#$tard without any financial savvy and married to his socialistic instincts has continued to drive the economy into the gutter. The only recovery were seeing is one that's happening in spite of him because business can tread water for only so long. Absent a clear direction for five years companies are setting their own course - albeit a timid one. "Hank, the car died and the refrigerator stopped working. " "Okay Gladys, I guess we HAVE TO buy those things now. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I don't know how old most people are around here, but having lived through the Reagan years as an adult and suffered all the economic fallout from the Nixon/Ford/Carter years, I can tell you that Reagan had much more to overcome than Obama ever had to face in terms of a suffering economy. that opinion piece is nothing more than cherry picked numbers designed to do little more than offer empty talking points to Obama supporters while simultaneously attempting to tweak the nose of anyone who misses leadership like we had under Reagan. during Carter's term in office we had double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment, and double-digit interest rates, which to be fair to Carter, were also due to many of Nixon's policies. and in the interest of full disclosure, I was a Carter supporter back in those days, and I loathed Reagan during his entire presidency. it wasn't until I had the benefit of hindsight and decided to be honest with myself that I stopped acting like a moron and began to give credit where is was due. there is plenty worth criticizing with every POTUS we've ever had, but that op ed cited in the OP doesn't offer anything substantial, or even actual, other than more contrived BS for leftist mudslingers. edit - one POTUS that may have actually done absolutely nothing to negatively impact economic policy was William Henry Harrison, who died several weeks after assuming office from pneumonia due to his insistence on giving his inaugural address in a sleet storm, Edited September 15, 2014 by Azalin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This hasn't been a great recovery, but, to be fair, the only recession I would compare this to is the 1930s, because the accumulation of debt prior to the recession--the most significant variable that determines its depth--was similar in both cases.

I even gave a large measure of the blame for Carter's horrific numbers to his two predecessors. I'll go even further and give Carter credit for accepting most of the blame instead of trying to hang it all on Nixon & Ford. I know you won't address my questions though. you can't. you have nothing, so all you offer are insults. that's all you have. it's all you've ever had. prove me wrong or just go away.
