Is the GOP intentionally preventing a recovery?

#3 When Barack Obama first became president, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States was $1.83. Today it is $3.79. This also affects the price of almost everything else that we buy.​

​

That is a lie. Prove it. Gas hasn't been below $2.00 since early in Bush's first term.

If you feel it is a lie and you say it was not
then you are know so post it or you are pulling it out of your arse



You do know that even if you are correct, it is a moot point
If an almost 1 trillion pork bill can not make Papa Obama right
17 cents is not going to help much either


The post is linked, if you are correct then I will be sure to let them know

Please this list was so good, let us not leave the whole thing out

My opinion of course, but when one considers....

#1 In January 2009, the official U.S. unemployment rate was 7.6 percent. Today it is 9.1 percent.

#2 When Barack Obama took office, the number of "long-term unemployed" in the United States was approximately 2.6 million. Today, that number is up to 6.2 million.

#3 When Barack Obama first became president, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States was $1.83. Today it is $3.79. This also affects the price of almost everything else that we buy.

#4 In April 2009, the average U.S. household spent approximately $201 on gasoline. In April 2011, the average U.S. household spent approximately $369 on gasoline.

#5 According to an article in the Daily Mail, the cost of a Memorial Day cookout was 29 percent higher this year than it was last year.

#6 When Barack Obama was sworn in, there were nearly 32 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 44 million on food stamps.

#7 According to the U.S. Census, the number of children living in poverty has gone up by about 2 million in just the past 2 years.

#8 When Barack Obama took office, the U.S. national debt was 10.6 trillion dollars. Today it is 14.3 trillion dollars.

#9 The federal government has borrowed 29,660 more dollars per household since Barack Obama signed the economic stimulus law two years ago.

#10 During Barack Obama's first two years in office, the U.S. government added more to the U.S. national debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.

#11 The combined debt of the major GSEs (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sallie Mae) has increased from 3.2 trillion in 2008 to 6.4 trillion in 2011. Thanks to George W. Bush, Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress, U.S. taxpayers are standing behind that debt.

#12 Under Obama, the U.S. trade deficit continues to grow. The trade deficit was about 33 percent larger in 2010 than it was in 2009, and the 2011 trade deficit is expected to be even bigger.

#13 Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year. That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history.

#14 Just since August, 2 million more Americans have left the labor force.

#15 In 2010, more than a million U.S. families lost their homes to foreclosure for the first time ever, and that number is expected to go even higher in 2011.

#16 The U.S. real estate crisis just continues to get worse. During the first three months of this year, less new homes were sold in the U.S. than in any three month period ever recorded.

#17 The U.S. dollar has fallen by 17 percent compared to other major national currencies since 2009.

#18 Faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. Treasuries is rapidly declining. The mainstream news is not reporting on it much, but right now the Chinese are rapidly dumping U.S. government debt. That is not a good sign.

#19 When Barack Obama first took office, an ounce of gold was going for about $850. Today an ounce of gold costs about $1500.

#20 Americans seem to be more pessimistic about the economy than ever. According to a brand new poll, 61 percent of Americans believe that they will not return to their "pre-recession" lifestyles until at least 2014.
​

The Democrats or The Party of STILL Not Getting It; is still NOT getting it.
At this point, you could take every penny of people making over $250,000/year and it would not make a difference.
This plan works best for the party when they are out of power. For example, if there was a Republican in the WH and the economy was this bad then they would get the most bang for their buck.
Not being the case, at best it just sounds disingenuous and desperate.

I know it's a lie, like almost everything in that list. I just highlighted the most obvious lie.

If you have proof that it was below $2.00 per gallon, then link to it and back up your bullshit.

If you do not, then you are just another wingnut liar - don't worry: you have plenty of company on this board.

This thread is about the GOP intentionally preventing a recovery. The current effort of the GOP is to focus on the debt ceiling, a strategy employed by the GOP leadership to extort consessons from Obama to benefit those they represent, big oil, big pharma, big farma and the insurance industry.

No job bills have been discussed in the House of Representatives, they spend more time on vacation (recessed) and giving press conferences than working. Only 18 bills have been passed by the House and 15 of those named Federal Buildings.

Daveboy and the other apologists for the GOP continue to deflect from the premise of this thread. That being the GOP hopes for at least a double dip, and potentially a full collapse of our economy.

Gobama!

That you're incapable of seeing the damage Obama and the Democrats are doing to the economy is meaningless. Once again, a leftist thinks his perceptions define reality. Reality, however, refuses to cooperate.

A bloodless coup to establish a Plutocracy is their ulitimate goal, a 21st C form of Corporatism.

Wow. It sounds like you need to put these dangerous conservatives into camps or something.

It amazing and sad how these same failed policies keep coming back

Another desperate distortion. The ironey being the New Right has convnced the willfully ignorant that anyone who disagrees with their theory of economics is a far left extremist; using the Red Scare has worked as a propaganda tool in the past; speaking of failed policy how much did we benefit from the domino theory or McCarthy's witch hunts?

I see you are not alone as well

If you really understood the means then you would never call for some of the things you want


Kevin Williamson:

"One insidious aspect of socialist governments’ wealth redistribution policies is that they allow for the redistribution of political rights. Because property rights are fundamental to any liberal society, the disruption of those bedrock rights invites the truncation of many other political rights."

I know, the Left will get it right this time

Perhaps he does understand it, and supports it.

Someday you may have reason to be condescending...but you don't now.

Once again, for retarded leftists (pardon the redundancy):

"Being a liberal" isn't a life accomplishment worthy of respect. It isn't an achievement that puts you above the rest of us. It doesn't give your opinions greater weight. And it isn't a substitute for experience, training, and independent rational thought.

Sadly, you lack the wit to comprehend this, and will continue believing that you deserve respect simply because you're a liberal.

No, no, that's deflection. Anything that doesn't blame the GOP is deflection.

No. But nice try at scapegoating Republicans for your mess. Hopey Changey Land is in ruins for sure. Make 2012 count America.

 

[Wry Catcher]

In February 2009, Democrats in Congress passed a $787 billion stimulus bill requested by President Obama to shore up a reeling economy. By the end of that year, most economists had concluded that the package had helped stave off a far deeper recession.

But the bill was bitterly assailed by Republicans and Tea Party conservatives, and stimulus became a politically radioactive word. With unemployment still close to 10 percent, Mr. Obama in 2010 pushed a series of "jobs bills,'' only to find them blocked by Republicans and conservatives or whittled down in response to worries about the deficit.
