"the best economy in 15 years", LMFAO@guessers.fools

maybe the best economy in 6.5 years, as in Obama's presidency, but that's not saying much

libtarded policies, the proof is in the pudding

So when we were losing thousands of jobs per month and a total economic collapse in the last years of the bush admin....that was the democrats in congress fault.

But now slow growth is obamas fault. Interesting how that works.

Ya know the republican controlled congress has done nothing right? Total and complete failure in every way.

 

[Willie99]

after 5 or 6 consecutive years of economic growth, job growth, increasing net worth........................., people could afford a downturn which is always inevitable without one single exception

but after 5 or 6 consecutive years of a stagnant economy and no jobs growth and high unemployment and decreasing net worth (the last one an assumption on my part), we can't afford an ongoing suck-ass economy.

the least prepared man in the room owns the worst post recession economic recovery since the GD, and his hands all over everything idiocy is directly responsible

 

[GasMan]

Did you say it CONTRACTED .7%?

OMFG...now the only thing left the Dems have to defend Obama with is the stock market...which is destined for another epic meltdown. Maybe we should put more money into the poor of our society and have a trickle up effect...oh wait, that's what they have been doing.

so the complete economic collapse you see as a "downturn".

i will say it again....it's like saying the titanic was a great voyage and never mentioning the iceberg.

I see you just had a moment of clarity. How did it feel?

Ummmm no. I was mocking the stupidity of that thought process.

that new republican congress has been a disaster.

Nancy was speaker and Reid majority leader in 2007 / 2008 my friend

as a matter of fact, if we want to go down this path, one could argue the worst economy we had was during Nancy's Speakership, 2007 through 2010.

are you now saying the Democratic Congress was responsible for that "economic collapse" you speak of?

you're mocking what again?

 

[vitterd]

Who is the speaker and majority leader during these latest reports that you're laying at the feet of Obama?

 

[Willie99]

and while everything turned dramatically to the South after the democrats took control in 2007, the losses started to subside once the republicans took over in 2010

if you want to take simplistic positions, you won't have many places to hide

 

[Willie99]

if you want to talk about a presidency, the worst economic growth since the GD belongs to Obama

if you want to talk about speakers, the worst economy ever (since they measured such things) belongs to Nancy

if you want to talk Senate Majority Leader, the worst economy belongs to Harry Reid (he's in bed with Obama)




pick your poison, IDC

or we can talk about presidency as the biggest economic collapse in history. Bush owns it

and who controls Congress now with the stagnant economy. Republicans.


The game is easily played on both sides but bush owns the Hundreds of thousands of job losses per month

 

[GasMan]

Yawn. Housing bubble bursts...blame Bush. Well played.

always a moving target, out of necessity, it's their survival instinct

to stand there and hold their ground based on some principle or consistent logic fails them, so they flail away throwing random shit against the wall hoping something sticks

it is what it is, it starts at the top, and it's reinforced by an enabling media

throwing shit and changing the subject line is all they can do

"it's the POTUS, no it's House, no it's the Senate this time" depending on who's in charge and whether or not it's good news of bad news.


I really don't care what path one chooses, I only ask that it be consistently applied
