Obama Will Be The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth

[Weatherman2020]

Obamanomics. I told you this would happen 8 years ago.

We just got another extremely disappointing GDP number. It was being projected that U.S. GDP would grow by 2.5 percent during the second quarter of 2016, but instead it only grew by just 1.2 percent. In addition, the Census Bureau announced that GDP growth for the first quarter of 2016 had been revised down from 1.1 percent to 0.8 percent. What this means is that the U.S. economy is just barely hanging on by its fingernails from falling into a recession. As Zero Hedge has pointed out, the “average annual growth rate during the current business cycle remains the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949″. This is not what a recovery looks like.

In addition, Barack Obama remains solidly on track to be the only president in all of U.S. history to never have a single year when the economy grew by at least 3 percent. Every other president in American history, even the really bad ones, had at least one year when U.S. GDP grew by at least 3 percent. But this has not happened under Obama even though he has had two terms in the White House.

Yea but something like 80 straight months of job growth.

Republicans can't say Obama isn't great. Hes just not great enough.

You want to ignore all the facts that contribute to those numbers. I don't have time and you won't understand anyways

So now suddenly Obama needs excuses.

Fact remains, Obama is the only President in history not to see a 3% GDP. Even the awful Presidents who had just 1 term.

In 2006, the unemployment rate was 4.9% and food stamp use was 27 million. Today, unemployment is claimed to be 4.9% but food stamp use is well over 40 million. If all the jobs that have claimed to be created have been, why are so many more on food stamps?

Seems like the job creators have found the market can support low wages if the taxpayer helps with food stamps

So, should we continue to support low wage workers or make the job creators do it

We should leave businesses alone and do away with things like food stamps. Because a worker offers low skills doesn't mean the taxpayers should offset their poor work ability.

By the way, since you want to blame job creators, blame Obama. You are the one giving him credit for having created millions of jobs.

Well lets do that then

Let Obama get some legislation allowing him to force job creators to trickle down more of their profits.
If they are unwilling to do so, they can pay higher taxes to offset those record food stamps

You mean pay those who have little to no skills more than those skills are worth? Not how it works. Let those with little to no skills do something for what they want instead of sticking out their paws and demanding it be given to them for nothing.

But wait! The people you are talking about are the same ones trumps making empty promises to.

Is this your official position on white uneducated blue collar? This is important

Under this asshole Obama we have had dismal economic growth, more poverty, tremendous debt, greater income disparity, more welfare, less family income and a weak Muslim appeasement foreign policy that is the laughing stock of the world.

This stupid corrupt lying bitch Crooked Hillary will make it even worse.

Democrats are dumbasses that never get it right.

Unemployment is the same now as it was in 2006. You would think that those using food stamps would be the same but it's much higher under the black President. What's your excuse?

While as the same time unemployment is what it was 10 years ago with only 27 million using food stamps. If all those jobs have been created by Obama, as the left claims, why are there so many million more requiring someone else to provide them food?

These are not just low skill workers. It includes production workers and those who are creating the profit. They are not getting something for nothing. They are giving an employer half their waking hours and not earning enough to support themselves or a family

This is why right wingers are so ignorant. They don't bother to look anything up. I don't know why. And what's funny, is you don't even need to really look anything up to know the truth.

At the end of 2008, the GDP shrank to around -3. By the end of 2009, it had grown to over +2. That's a change of over 5. And right there, the entire argument is busted.

We were told by early 2000 that the Congress and presidents not holding the banks and corporations to account would hurt the economy.

Then came the war paid with a credit card.

So that means we can attribute the doubling of the debt these last eight years to Obama's 'Wars That Are Not Wars'.

Oh that's right he's sending care packages...



...and I'm sure Hillary is more than willing to continue his good work and double the debt once again... after all $40 trillion isn't that much... by sending more care packages to all the rest of the Muslim countries who haven't received their care packages so she can receive a Nobel Peace Prize too...

And blaming a Republican Congress for ruining the economy while praising Obama - mind boggling.

Jobs were fleeing the country in 2009 and Republicans obstructed from day one still Obama got it done.

Don't give credit to Obama for lowering the unemployment rate without blaming him for the 15 million more still on food stamps than when Bush has the same unemployment rate.
