Right Wingers eating crow on price of gasoline. $1.39 in Indiana.

Not one Obama hating wingnut predictor wants to yell about how Obama's rejection of Keystone pipeline and EPA abuses and his contempt for big oil was going to lead to $5 to $6 gasoline and destroy jobs and the economy.

Where are you?

Credit Card in Northern Virginia at $1.82.

thats got to be driving these repub-lie tards over the cliff once again ...

Yeah, Republicans hate cheap gas. Moron.
 
Yup, only the best economy in the world is all. Thanks for the corrupt world depression duh.

We had the best economy in the world BEFORE Barack Obama! His lack of leadership prolonged the "Great Recession" for years in the worst recovery from a recession in modern economic history. As his second term grinds to a conclusion he doesn't even TRY to put forth an economic plan to grow the economy because he's been out of ideas on how to do that since Larry Summers left after the fiasco of the "Obama Stimulus". Under Barack Obama the Fed has been forced to keep interest rates at almost zero for the longest sustained period in history. Why? Because every time they even HINT at raising them the stock market goes into a nosedive. That's not indicative of a strong economy...that's indicative of a weak one!

It's still a depression in MANY places around the world. The GOP is a lying thieving racist disgrace. Ditto hater dupes.

I'm amused, Billy that you think Republicans are upset because the price of gasoline has come down! Why pray tell do you think we'd be upset? Fracking is by and large responsible for that decrease in oil prices by OPEC and fracking is something that was more of a GOP supported activity than a Democrat supported activity. It certainly wasn't something embraced by the Democratic leadership.

The only "lie" that's being perpetrated at the moment is that Barack Obama or the Democrats had ANYTHING to do with that lower price of gasoline!

Already posted and you ignored.


I don't ignore a single one of those links. Specifically the Weekly Standard Gas Price Perfidy one.

It contains a major lie by omission. It omits that Chu backed off his gas-price comment that he wrote in the WSJ in 2008 during his Senate confirmation hearing to become Energy Secretary in early 2009.

Had Chu not done so It is quite obvious that Obama would not have chosen Chu as Energy Secretary with the economy hurting so many Americans from the Great Bush Recession.

That is s huge dishonest omission in one of your blessed RW PROPAGANDA RAGS.

Yeah, we know. The best thing about being a liberal is never having to say you were wrong.

But hey, keep believing that Democrats are for lower fuel prices, the right to own and protect oneself with a gun, not pro-abortion, because that's how the devil works. He tells you one thing when the truth is so in front of your face you have to close your eyes to avoid it.

But keep those palms of your hands against your ears and continue singing aloud. It's why we call you people the uninformed voters in this country.
look at trump you hear him say wrong things all the time ... not once has he ever admitted he was wrong .... my thinking is you Republicans have no Idea in what you're saying ... when a dem makes a statement, you on the right go off the deep end over that statement ... saying all kinds of shit that never happens .... when we point it out to you you say we deams never admit we are wrong ... whys that??? could it be we were right at the time saying it and you can't stand that Idea

What do you think it is that drove down the price of oil, Billy? Do you think it was anything that Barack Obama's people did with policy? If so I'd LOVE to hear what that was! The truth is, Barack Obama has always believed that higher prices for fossil fuels to make alternative fuels economically feasible is something that the United States needs and he was more than willing to enact Cap & Trade legislation to make coal fired electric plants a thing of the past despite how that would increase the average American's electric bill by a huge amount.

With all due respect, Kiss...legislation by Democrats had just as much to do with the recession as anything that George W. Bush did. Might I remind you that Bush was one of the few leaders in Washington warning of the dangers of a impending crash prior to it taking place? Saying what took place is solely the fault of Bush is laughably partisan on your part. Trust me...there was plenty of blame to go around by both parties.

Yup, it's pure coincidence all the corrupt bubbles and recessions/depressions happen under the GOP. MORON. All W did was go after Fannie and Freddie- Just like attacking Iraq after 9/11- had NOTHING to do with it.

Raising the Minimum Wage that would cost jobs? Raising taxes that would slow investment and the economy? You have no more idea how to stimulate an economy than Barry does!

Yes, he was incorrect in that statement. People buying a house had to prove they had a job and could pay for it. A fact Republicans ALWAYS leave out.

It was banks and derivatives that took down insurance companies and caused the economy to tank.

You live on a total bs planet. What Reagan did and worked once temporarily is NOT what is ALWAYS needed, dupe of the greedy idiot rich GOP. What the GOP has done is wreck the nonrich (YOU) and the country, dupe.

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.
