Nobody had to tell me that lending practices at the GSEs were a factor in the financial crisis! Anyone with even a dollop of common sense SAW that what was going on at the GSEs were a huge factor. Did you miss that part where the taxpayers had to bail out the GSE's to the tune of 185 billion dollars?

You're a fucking idiot...LOLOLIn other words, Trump inherited a growing economy from Obama while Obama inherited an economy in massive recession.He had to take over for 8 years of Obamanomics and the propaganda machine where Obama inherited from Waters, Dodd, and Frank a housing collapse, and then during those 8 years played golf, denied 4 US citizens help in Benghazi, parties with liberal elites, and put the most in poverty since the FDR. Yep Obama sure did worse, and Trump already did well, didn't you see unemployment reach the 4%? Or is your head way up your Bambi ass?
Thanks for confirming.
The economy was growing prior to Trump being sworn in...because Trump was going to be sworn in!
What he inherited is the longest period of tepid economic growth since The Great Depression...from a President who hasn't HAD a plan to grow the economy since Larry Summers left his administration YEARS ago!
The economy was growing even before then. The unemployment rate has been in the low 5's or lower for almost 2 years now.
What Trump actually inherited was an unprecedented 75 months of continuous growth.
75 months of growth? How much growth? Obama is the only US President EVER to never create 3% economic growth in one of his years as President! 75 months of tepid growth is nothing to crow about, Faun...but then again...what else do you Obama supporters HAVE?

Great, when presented with employment data that the lying con tool can't stand, he switches to something else he finds more tolerable.LOLOLIn other words, Trump inherited a growing economy from Obama while Obama inherited an economy in massive recession.He had to take over for 8 years of Obamanomics and the propaganda machine where Obama inherited from Waters, Dodd, and Frank a housing collapse, and then during those 8 years played golf, denied 4 US citizens help in Benghazi, parties with liberal elites, and put the most in poverty since the FDR.

Focus, ya lyin' con tool, focus.
You ask how much growth over those 75 months....
First, let me correct a mistake I made ... it was 76 months, not 75. From October, 2010 until Obama left office...
Bureau of Labor Statistics Data
... and over those 76 months, there were 15,170,000 jobs added.
Annualized, that comes to 2,395,263.
The total annualized under Obama, including the job losses from from Bush's Great Recession....
Clinton .... 2,862,750
Carter ..... 2,586,250
Reagan ... 2,016,375
Obama .... 1,436,000
Bush41 ....... 659,000
Bush43 ....... 168,375
Bureau of Labor Statistics Data
^^^ See ^^^ why folks laugh at you for criticizing Obama's record on jobs?

No, it was led by Republicans for most of those years over you say Bush warned Congress.Again ,,,, so why didn't the GOP-led Congress do anything about it?I can't help noticing.....you are heavy on Narrative and very light on facts...How many economic metrics are needed to calculate the "Misery Index"?
Under which POTUS did we see the HIGHEST annual payroll growth in both Nominal and Relative terms?
I'm gonna give you a hint....
It wasn't THIS guy...
Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On Record
Speaking of "the Record", for the sake of it, would you stipulate to how many votes you cast for the POTUS with the "worst jobs record on record"?
Ah yes...the Bush record on jobs! Which of course was ravaged by the housing market's collapse and the subsequent recession...something that Bush himself warned about repeatedly prior to the crash but Democrats like Barney Frank pooh poohed as fear mongering? So you accuse Bush of being a fear monger when he warns you that the way they are running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a recipe for disaster...but then when his fears come to fruition...you blame him and him alone for the subsequent job losses?
It's good to be a liberal...you never have to admit you were wrong about anything!
and pretty much your entire Narrative is bullshit....
Scrub was warned by the FBI about widespread mortgage fraud in 2004....he did nothing......because the Scrub Economy depended on it....
The GSEs were a non-factor in the Financial Crisis....whatever you have been told to believe notwithstanding.....
Your hindsight is myopic, Slim! Bush warned Congress repeatedly about a looming crisis in the housing market because of the way things were being run at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Claiming that those institutions were a "non factor" in the financial crisis is ridiculous. They were a huge factor!
The Congress was led by the GOP in the last four years of the Bush White House? Who knew?
Why didn't they do anything?
By the time Democrats took over in 2007, the damage was done. By then, states were already recording record number of foreclosures. As a result, only a few months into 2007, America's second largest lender declared bankruptcy.
So again I ask, since you seem so reluctant to answer the follow up to your own point that Bush warned Congress action was needed to thwart the oncoming tidal wave........
Why didn't the Republican-led Congress do anything?

Let's look at a graph I used two years ago, from work done by James Kennedy and Alan Greenspan, on the effect of mortgage equity withdrawals (MEWs) on the growth of the US economy.
Notice that in both 2001 and 2002, the US economy continued to grow on an annual basis (the "technical" recession was just a few quarters). Their work suggests that this growth was entirely due to MEWs. In fact, MEWs contributed over 3% to GDP growth in 2004 and 2005, and 2% in 2006. Without US homeowners using their homes as an ATM, the economy would have been very sluggish indeed, averaging much less than 1% for the six years of the Bush presidency. Indeed, as a side observation, without home equity withdrawals the economy would have been so bad it would have been almost impossible for Bush to have won a second term.

It's not all on Bush. It's also on Republicans.Does that mean you're willing to admit that what happened with the housing market wasn't as much the fault of Bush as you on the left always claim it was?
But much is still on Bush since even though he warned Congress, he still went full steam ahead with his own home ownership plans. If anything, this makes him even more culpable by adding fuel to the fire he was warning Congress was burning.
Bush Minority Homeownership Plan Rests Heavily on Fannie and Freddie
When President Bush announced his Minority Homeownership plans last week in Atlanta, his top priorities were new federal programs: a $2.4 billion tax credit to facilitate home purchases by lower-income first-time buyers, and a $200 million national downpayment grant fund.
But none of the new federal programs--if passed by Congress--will come even close to achieving the 5.5 million-household increase in minority homeownership the President set as his target.
Instead, most of the heavy lifting was assigned to two mortgage market players that have sometimes come under fire from Bush administration officials and Congressional Republicans: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Fannie's and Freddie's commitments are the bedrock core of the President's ambitious plans--but didn't get the headlines. Fannie Mae agreed to increase its already substantial lending efforts to minority families by targeting another $260 billion of mortgage purchases to them during the next nine years. Freddie Mac agreed to buy an additional $180 billion in minority-household home loans during the same period.
Besides its $180 billion mortgage purchase commitment, Freddie Mac gave President Bush a promise to implement a 25-point program aimed at increasing minority homeownership. Some of the points were cutting-edge. For example, as part of an effort to remove the fear of financial loss from first-time minority home buyers, Freddie committed itself to "explor(e) the viability of equity assurance products to protect home values in economically distressed areas."

4 consecutive quarters make one year.........always has, always will....that is the nature of time and fractions.....
you were sold a bit of nonsense by ZeroHedge (or their NoVAR, Jim Hoft)...it is WRONG....
You see, in talking about a year, what matters is the TRAILING 12 MONTHS.......so the CALENDAR year number is only relevant for, at best, 90 days.....
Now tell me...can you name the POTUS who, in the modern era, benefited LESS from a fiscal contribution of federal spending than Obama?

Half of one year and half of another only equals a year if you're cherry picking numbers trying to make someone's economic numbers look better than they really were.

LOLOL4 consecutive quarters make a year and I just gave you the fucking data from BEA, by way of FRED....You're a fucking idiot...LOLOL
The economy was growing even before then. The unemployment rate has been in the low 5's or lower for almost 2 years now.
What Trump actually inherited was an unprecedented 75 months of continuous growth.
75 months of growth? How much growth? Obama is the only US President EVER to never create 3% economic growth in one of his years as President! 75 months of tepid growth is nothing to crow about, Faun...but then again...what else do you Obama supporters HAVE?

Do you know how to operate a calculator?
You should spend less time with Gateway Pundit and Zero Hedge........
The best year for GDP growth for Barry was 2015 when it reached 2.6. It never reached 3.

The second half of one year plus the first half of the following year -- is still a year.
Who says a year has to be a calendar year? Why not a fiscal year? Why not any continuous months?

So why can't I get a straight answer on this from the forum's lying con tool??Ah yes...the Bush record on jobs! Which of course was ravaged by the housing market's collapse and the subsequent recession...something that Bush himself warned about repeatedly prior to the crash but Democrats like Barney Frank pooh poohed as fear mongering?
In response to Bush's repeated warnings, why didn't the Republican-led Congress do anything about it?
