Reagan recovery vs Obama recovery? Who wins?

Until Barry embraces business - there will be no recovery. Sure, the federal government is growing by leaps and bounds - but that's it. Barry is a faculty lounge communist who believes that it is "government's responsibility" to "care" for us. I believe that he is full of shit.
Barry is an Islamic insurgent selling out the US to Islam, assisted by the addled intellects of the Marxists.

His mission is to undermine the US economy... Not recover it.

If YOUR goal was to be the Robot Moron Parrot for the Koch Brothers you are the WINNER!

ROFLMNAO!

You mention private citizens in some nefarious context, even as you lament morons... .

LOL! Folks you can't make THAT sorta crap up.

I don't waste much time trying to dissect the brains of people that should be just simply locked away in mental institutions. Just because you have computer access Sport doesn't mean there is a normal brain at the keyboard.

You babble just as incoherently as the average mental patient in the day room.
 
YOU IDIOTS that seemingly have forgotten THESE EVENTS!!!!
ANSWER ME! Did these events occur or NOT???

BUT under Bush, events that totally ignorant LIPs like you forget that NO other President in history had to face in their terms!
1) Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?

A Major $5 trillion market loss
2) Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $5 trillion in losses?
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $5 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies. More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 - and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Year 2001...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1]

4) $1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

NEVER would Bush want America to fail as Obama wants America to fail!


It's very honest of you to confess that you agree with a majority of America's citizens that George W. Bush's Presidency was a failure, making excuses for dubya's failure is nonsensical.

The reason the board of directors (voters) hires a CEO (President) is to solve/minimize the failures - you know, just the opposite of creating malaise by whining about every event that happens on a president's watch. President's deal with events, that's their job. Bad presidents do dumb stuff-----dumb stuff like missing PDB's, and misunderstanding the PDB's he had read to him.

But-----but if it's events you want - stick this event in your pipe, Gary Hart was ahead in the polls and would likely have defeated Reagan in 1988 if the rightwing media hadn't manufactured a couple of anti-Hart -ehem- "events".
.
 
Actually..........Reagan dominates!!! In fact, the Obama recovery by comparison is laughable!!

But don't take my word for it.......check the graphs in this LINK >> OBAMA vs. REAGAN on GDP GROWTH NOT EVEN CLOSE The Gateway Pundit

Geez.........even I didn't think the Obama recovery has been that much of a joke!!:2up::eusa_dance::eusa_dance:

Yes, the medically isolated Reagan was the best for GDP because his profit driven drones took over for him. They also EXTREMELY drove up the deficit. But Corporations did well.

Every time I hear this story I hear, "We need a financial advisor to run this Country" instead of "WE THE PEOPLE"

When you actually worry about "The People" the profits get smaller. Or perhaps you think we should bring lead paint back and stop regulation because it's bad for GDP.

NOT ONCE said he preferred higher gas prices, or that companies go bankrupt or utilities skyrocket!
NEVER would Bush want America to fail as Obama wants America to fail!


It's very honest of you to confess that you agree with a majority of America's citizens that George W. Bush's Presidency was a failure, making excuses for dubya's failure is nonsensical.

The reason the board of directors (voters) hires a CEO (President) is to solve/minimize the failures - you know, just the opposite of creating malaise by whining about every event that happens on a president's watch. President's deal with events, that's their job. Bad presidents do dumb stuff-----dumb stuff like missing PDB's, and misunderstanding the PDB's he had read to him.

But-----but if it's events you want - stick this event in your pipe, Gary Hart was ahead in the polls and would likely have defeated Reagan in 1988 if the rightwing media hadn't manufactured a couple of anti-Hart -ehem- "events".
.

EXPLAIN THESE EVENTS AWAY IF you can!!!! But you can't. These are real events that cause real pain and loss and nothing like it has occurred in ANY presidency!

FAILURE???

BUT under Bush, events that totally ignorant LIPs like you forget that NO other President in history had to face in their terms!

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Until Barry embraces business - there will be no recovery. Sure, the federal government is growing by leaps and bounds - but that's it. Barry is a faculty lounge communist who believes that it is "government's responsibility" to "care" for us. I believe that he is full of shit.
Barry is an Islamic insurgent selling out the US to Islam, assisted by the addled intellects of the Marxists.

His mission is to undermine the US economy... Not recover it.

If YOUR goal was to be the Robot Moron Parrot for the Koch Brothers you are the WINNER!

ROFLMNAO!

You mention private citizens in some nefarious context, even as you lament morons... .

LOL! Folks you can't make THAT sorta crap up.

I don't waste much time trying to dissect the brains of people that should be just simply locked away in mental institutions. Just because you have computer access Sport doesn't mean there is a normal brain at the keyboard.

You babble just as incoherently as the average mental patient in the day room.

and your post it what?
 
You want Reaganomics back?

For most of the Reagan presidency the top tax rate was 50%, and, very importantly, there was no huge child tax credit,

so, more likely than not, if you were under Reagan tax policy now,

your taxes would be higher.

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Year 2001...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1]

4) $1 trillion in losses due to the WORST Hurricane SEASONS in history.
The worst, Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 in 2005. It took 1,836 lives and caused $81.2 billion in damages. It quickly became the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, almost destroying New Orleans due to severe flooding.

but you completely reject the idea that the deep recession of 2007-2009 had any impact on the Obama presidency.

That makes you an asshole, and a retard.


IF Obama had done as President GW Bush did with his recession, The the economy would be roaring by now.
Bush cut taxes and the recession disappeared, Obama went on a wild spending spree, to the tune of a $1.4 trillion deficit the first year as President, and the effects of the recession are STILL with us.
Obama STILL has his boot on the throat of the American economy.

Economies don't need tax cuts to come out of recession and to prosper. The Clinton economy proved that.

Sadly, you are extremely uninformed.

The 2009 Budget was President Bush's presidency, and counts as the last, the 8th year of his fiscal Presidency, the 4th fiscal year of his second term.

(yes, President Obama did affect the spending, by only $160-$200 billion of the $1.400 trillion dollar deficit, with only a portion of his stimulus package being spent before the fiscal year end on September 30th, 2009. But in January, before Obama even took office, the CBO and the GAO both estimated the GWB 2009 fiscal budget would be over a trillion dollars in deficit.)

President Bush did not give those tax cuts to end a recession that was already ending on it's own....President Bush gave those tax cuts because the GAO / CBO estimated that we would have a $5.6 trillion dollar budget SURPLUS over the next 10 years and President Bush, and the Republicans said "that this was the tax payer's surplus and they should get it back in an income tax break and a Capital gains etc tax break", of course we were never really told... and it was never focused on that this estimated surplus, was coming from the Social Security taxes they collected from us working class individuals, it was a social security tax surplus that was meant to be for the retirements of the Boomers and not an income tax budget surplus estimated, only to give half of the tax break monies back to the very people at the very very top who didn't pay a dime in to those Social Security Surpluses...)

Truly, it is much much more complicated than the one liner you and many others from the right side of the aisle have posted.

And those tax cuts of President Bush's were set to expire, and they were EXTENDED for a few years on all of them and forever on most of them for the middle class, which IS the equivalent of giving tax breaks, along with the fact that the Obama stimulus was made up of nearly 30% in additional temporary tax breaks.

So "tax breaks" is not this simple 'miracle solution' to ending the greatest recession we've ever had...

We've made great progress since then, but we the people, could feel this 'pinch' for decades to come and may never have the middle class we once had.

Until Barry embraces business - there will be no recovery. Sure, the federal government is growing by leaps and bounds - but that's it. Barry is a faculty lounge communist who believes that it is "government's responsibility" to "care" for us. I believe that he is full of shit.
Barry is an Islamic insurgent selling out the US to Islam, assisted by the addled intellects of the Marxists.

His mission is to undermine the US economy... Not recover it.

If YOUR goal was to be the Robot Moron Parrot for the Koch Brothers you are the WINNER!

LOL! Folks you can't make THAT sorta crap up.

I don't waste much time trying to dissect the brains of people that should be just simply locked away in mental institutions. Just because you have computer access Sport doesn't mean there is a normal brain at the keyboard.

WRONG ole' bait-breath!!!
It is suppose to work that way, "The President signs into law the budget for the the next Presidents 1st year".
Harry Reid refused to send President GW Bush the 2009 budget.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi wanted Obama to be able to spend as much money as he (Obama) wanted to spend, without the constraints of a budget.
President GW Bush NEVER got to sign the 2009 budget into law.
The 2009 spending belongs to Obama, Reid and Pelosi.

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Year 2001...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1]

SO PLEASE TELL THESE EVENTS DID NOT IMPACT our country?
TELL ME GWB is NOT a GREAT President that handled these events and NOT ONCE NOT ONCE
say: "military is air-raiding villages, killing civilians"!
NOT ONCE said he preferred higher gas prices, or that companies go bankrupt or utilities skyrocket!
NEVER would Bush want America to fail as Obama wants America to fail!

You list a mild recession in 2000-2001 as an excuse for Bush's disastrous president,

but you completely reject the idea that the deep recession of 2007-2009 had any impact on the Obama presidency.

That makes you an asshole, and a retard.


IF Obama had done as President GW Bush did with his recession, The the economy would be roaring by now.
Bush cut taxes and the recession disappeared, Obama went on a wild spending spree, to the tune of a $1.4 trillion deficit the first year as President, and the effects of the recession are STILL with us.
Obama STILL has his boot on the throat of the American economy.
Sadly, you are extremely uninformed.

The 2009 Budget was President Bush's presidency, and counts as the last, the 8th year of his fiscal Presidency, the 4th fiscal year of his second term.

(yes, President Obama did affect the spending, by only $160-$200 billion of the $1.400 trillion dollar deficit, with only a portion of his stimulus package being spent before the fiscal year end on September 30th, 2009. But in January, before Obama even took office, the CBO and the GAO both estimated the GWB 2009 fiscal budget would be over a trillion dollars in deficit.)

President Bush did not give those tax cuts to end a recession that was already ending on it's own....President Bush gave those tax cuts because the GAO / CBO estimated that we would have a $5.6 trillion dollar budget SURPLUS over the next 10 years and President Bush, and the Republicans said "that this was the tax payer's surplus and they should get it back in an income tax break and a Capital gains etc tax break", of course we were never really told... and it was never focused on that this estimated surplus, was coming from the Social Security taxes they collected from us working class individuals, it was a social security tax surplus that was meant to be for the retirements of the Boomers and not an income tax budget surplus estimated, only to give half of the tax break monies back to the very people at the very very top who didn't pay a dime in to those Social Security Surpluses...)

Truly, it is much much more complicated than the one liner you and many others from the right side of the aisle have posted.

And those tax cuts of President Bush's were set to expire, and they were EXTENDED for a few years on all of them and forever on most of them for the middle class, which IS the equivalent of giving tax breaks, along with the fact that the Obama stimulus was made up of nearly 30% in additional temporary tax breaks.

So "tax breaks" is not this simple 'miracle solution' to ending the greatest recession we've ever had...

We've made great progress since then, but we the people, could feel this 'pinch' for decades to come and may never have the middle class we once had.

I'm going to YELL!!!
AND NOT ONE MENTION OF THE
A) RECESSION
B)DOT.COM BUST
C) 9/11
D) WORST HURRICANE SEASONS IN HISTORY

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO RECOGNIZE THESE EVENTS TOTALLY DICTATED WHAT BUSH DID FOR 8 YEARS???

If Bush was confronted with all of these extraordinary government expenses during his tenure,

why did he want to cut taxes and thus create the massive deficits that were an irrefutable fact of his presidency?
