As I said in another thread...............everything going on today, are OBAMA POLICIES.
Why?
Because when Obama got elected, Democrats controlled ALL the levers of power, Presidency, House, and Senate. It is how we got the ACA. They could have done ANYTHING they wanted, change tax rates, absolutely ANYTHING, short of messing with entitlements. Obama could have passed IMMIGRATION reform, closed GITMO, whatever he/you/Democrats desired. He did NOT!
Therefore, these policies that you seem to dislike, are now OBAMA POLICIES because he allowed them to stay in force when he could have done whatever he and the Democrats wanted.
What are the outside Republicans saying running for President? (paraphrasing) On the 1st day, we will revoke ANY executive order put in by Obama. We will REPEAL the ACA. All of the regulations put in will be SUSPENDED until Congress gives them a thumbs up, or down!
You see lefties, that is HOW you do it. Don't blame us because Barry (AKA, the messiah, praise be his name) liked the rates he seen, or was to lazy (shocking, lazy?!?!?! Oh yes, probably out playing golf) to do anything about it. And so.........it is no longer BUSH, REAGAN, or BUSH 1, it is all Obama because he FAILED to do anything when he could have virtually done ANYTHING he wanted.
Trust us when we say, that if a Conservative is elected in 16, they will not do the same thing. Obuma policies and regulations will be removed, almost instantly-) And oh yes, they CAN be. Why? Because MOST of them were not created laws, they were created from EXECUTIVE orders, and un-elected officials in control of departments.
If a conservative is elected, you will find that the inbred Washington levers are going to be dismantled, so that when you do win again, which your surely will, the apparatus you will be in control of will be much, much, smaller, and once the states get some of their power back, you libs will NEVER get it back in Washington again.

You are wrong because the Dems didn't have a 60 to 40 filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Plus The Blue Dogs from red states might just as well be Republicans on many issues. You don't know how the Federal Government works.
Budget deficits have declined thanks to a Republican led Congress:
View attachment 54432
Congress are those nice people that spend our money and create laws. Presidents preside.
Clinton's success hinged on the tech bubble which much like the housing bubble, eventually burst at the end of his second term. Clinton also heeded the advice of Newt Gingrich and lowered the capital gains taxes which is when the economy took off.
Republicans want to spend more on military and give tax breaks to the richest. That will never lower deficits.
So when was the last time Republicans gave a tax break to the richest?
Republicans dropped it from 70% to 50% in 1981
Then from 50% to 30% in 1987
40% drop in six years
Okay, so the last time they dropped the tax rate for the wealthy was nearly 30 years ago. So what's with all this stuff that the Republicans are constantly giving the wealthy tax breaks?
They have been getting that tax break every year for the last 30 years
All in the name of trickle down prosperity. Give the "job creators" more money and wealth and prosperity will trickle down for all. For some reason, they just kept the money....who could have expected that?
This whole thing is on Obama, totally Obama and the Dems ...
YAWN
if we've had so much "positive job growth" why are there 13 MILLION MORE on food stamps going into obama's EIGHTH YEAR then there were when Bush left office leftard???

alin had won. We know by what Romney said about unemployment it would be worse if he and Ryan were elected.

What's with the "if". Do you not accept that reality? The economic crisis did not end just because Bush wrecked the economy and left office.
What you don't know is how many would be on food stamps if McCain
The end of Commie Care would have inspired businesses to hire alone. That would have been a huge burden off the shoulders of our job creators and new businesses.

Why you equate wars with tax cuts is beyond me. They were two separate issues. We had this attack on our country and an economy that was going into the tank. Bush addressed those situations separately and not together as you think.
. WASHINGTON, July 29— An American attack on Iraq could profoundly affect the American economy, because the United States would have to pay most of the cost and bear the brunt of any oil price shock or other market disruptions, government officials, diplomats and economists say.
. Eleven years ago, the Persian Gulf war, fought to roll back Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, cost the United States and its allies $60 billion and helped set off an economic recession caused in part by a spike in oil prices.
.
If consumer and investor confidence remains fragile, military action could have substantial psychological effects on the financial markets, retail spending, business investment, travel and other key elements of the economy, officials and experts said.
If oil supplies are disrupted, as they were during the 1991 gulf war, and prices rise sharply, the economic effects would be felt in the United States and around the world.
.''When weapons start going off in the Middle East, markets generally go down, gold prices go up, and oil prices shoot to the moon,'' he added, ''and I expect that this is the short-run pattern that we can reasonably anticipate.''
Last Nov. 13, a month after the United States began bombing Afghanistan to dislodge the Taliban and Al Qaeda, the president's advisers debated whether Iraq should be the focus of phase two of the campaign against terrorism. Mr. Bush directed Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham to add more than 100 million barrels to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Since Jan. 1, oil shipments into the reserve have reached record levels, about 150,000 barrels a day. One oil strategist in London noted that United States government acquisitions for the reserve were accounting for more than half of the growth in demand for oil this year.

All in the name of trickle down prosperity. Give the "job creators" more money and wealth and prosperity will trickle down for all. For some reason, they just kept the money....who could have expected that?
So you would rather have no jobs?
Unfortunately many still have not learned that unskilled labor is just about worthless in our modern economy. True, years ago before robotics and automation were economical and practical, people did make more money because you are only worth as much as the next person willing to do the same job.
However if you do work for a company that makes all these insane profits that you speak of, then the solution is simple: invest in your own company. That's right, be more than just a worker, be a part-owner as well. Make those insane profits right along with your employer.
I love solving these simple problems.

Once again you argue on the extremes. How do we get from paying higher wages to their being no jobs?
Then you move to another extreme assuming all workers are unskilled. It is not just unskilled workers who have seen their wages frozen, in runs right up the ladder
Employees have invested in their companies. When the Great Bush Recession hit, millions were fired. Those who remained were told, times are tough, you had better pick up the slack or you will be gone too
Once the economy recovered, the executives reaped the benefit while workers were expected to retain the same conditions
Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?
Mostly it is the blame of the job creators. They are the ones we have entrusted the economy. They are the ones who make the decisions on wages and benefits
Seems they have not been doing a very good job.....why does our government keep rewarding them with record low tax rates?
Can't seem to find politicians brave enough to end the capital gains distinction whenever firms list unfilled job openings for more than a quarter.Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?

Most of them have been deciding to send jobs to other countries or import workers from other countries.

That is why I support tax breaks for job creators
Expand, hire people over the year and you get a nice tax break
Fire people, send jobs overseas and you pay more in taxes
Let those who are slashing jobs pay for the tax breaks for those who are hiring

First off you're assuming the economy recovered, it did not.
Secondly, I never said all workers are unskilled. But the common complaint by you on the left are those poor Walmart workers, and I was just pointing out those jobs don't pay anything because those jobs are not skills.
What I meant by "investing in your company" is to buy stock in it. If what you say is true, and there are companies paying lower wages and making these mega-profits you speak of, then it will be reflected in the company earnings. Buy their stock and make those mega-profits as well.
