...job growth is anything but a "bad economy ".
I mean okay, the labor participation rate is pretty low and that does matter, but for republicans to pretend that means the economy is shit is just disingenuous bullshit. I mean, Christ the Great Recession began under Bush and ended 6 months into Obama's presidency. Most of that can be directly attributed to Obama's stimulus package. According to the CBO, the stimulus created 3 million private jobs. Since then, we have had NON STOP Jon growth. That is unheard of.
And sure, wages are low under Obama. However, like the labor participation rate, they began to decline BEFORE obama's presidency. Obama tried to fix this by raising the minimum wage to a very reasonable 10.10 per hour.
Face it repubs. Your party is a joke.
Right On!!!!
They either can' read or don't want to. All anybody needs to do is think back before Bush started. Bill Clinton left an unemployment rate of 4.3% and essentially anybody who wanted to work had a job. The budgets for 1999 and 2000 left a surplus. All Bush had to do was leave things alone. He couldn't stand it so he cut taxes for the rich in 2001 and 2003 and doubled the national debt. Now a large portion of Obama's budgets, about two trillion dollars have gone to pay interest on the existing debt.
What are you history fucking stupid or just 16 years old?
Why did he lower taxes ? Because we had a mini recession......why did Obama extend those tax cuts and latter make some of them permanent?????
He didn't make them permanent. The top rate cut expired...
...and the deficit's been falling ever since. What a coincidence.
I specifically said "make some of them permenet"
.
Okay, so the president made the tax structure more progressive and the deficit has been falling ever since.
So know you agree lower taxes helped the economy?
Check...thank God for Obama copying off of Bush Jr.
