Why does
Building infrastructure
Educating the population
and investing in science and tech

= Good for the developing world and most of the first, but the conservative assholes here think it is BAD.

FUCK YOU TEA PARTY!

People can cite studies for and against the Obama economic policies the only thing that truly matters is how the public feels and at the moment RCP gives Obama 39 percent approval on the economy.

I guess I have to post it again. And then explain it because libs can't read charts.

Time to build here in the good old US OF A!

Gutting what drives our economic system is stupid.

Seeing how everything for the past 3 years has been blocked by the house. Can you really blame Obama?

We all know how we got to become a super power. Innovation, tech and infrastructure!

yes and not by crippling tech innovators with regulations and the highest taxes in the world that virtually force themn to move offshore . And certainly not by telling them "you didn't build that" and by being Marxist anti-business class warfare fools as Obama is.

Actually more legislation was blocked by Harry Reid in the Senate.

The Soviet Union spent more on infrasutrcuture education and research than anyone else. And we see how that worked.

2. The Stimulus Created Millions of Jobs.

In the aftermath of the 2007 recession, President Obama invested in a massive stimulus. The Republican belief that markets are always good and government is always bad led them to argue that diverting resources to the public sector this way would have disastrous results. They were wrong: The stimulus worked, with the most reliable studies finding that it created millions of jobs. The fact that government stimulus works – long denied by Republicans (at least, when Democrats are in office) – is a consensus among economists, with only 4 percent arguing that unemployment would have been lower without the stimulus and only 12 percent arguing that the costs outweigh the benefits.

3. Taxing The Rich Doesn't Hurt Economic Growth.

Republicans believe that the wealthy are the vehicles of economic growth. Starting with Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, they tried cutting taxes on the rich in order to unleash latent economic potential. But even the relatively conservative Martin Feldstein has acknowledged that investment is driven by demand, not supply; if there are viable investments to be made, they will be made regardless of tax rates, and if there are no investments to be made, cutting taxes is merely pushing on a string. Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, two of the eminent economists of inequality, find no correlation between marginal tax rates and economic growth.

here's one of those lazy worthless repub-lie-tards
republicans say raising the min. wage will cost jobs .... repub-lie-tards show us once where raising the min. wage has cost jobs they can't

they say passing a budget for roads has to paid for ... and will cost us in debt if we don't... every time we Dems have raised the budget for roads and services we have come out of a job recession ... we have had money to pay down on the national debt ... every time the republicans cut cut cut we went into a further national debt and in both cases where they cut so much we went in to a great depression .... like the guy said stop being so lazy and look up the real facts ...

Do you really need me to repost the graph showing black teen unmployment against min wage? Because its almost a direct correlation.
We have not paid down the national debt in 40 years. Not even under Clinton.

It isnt that libs dont know anything. ITs that whatever they know is a lie.

Do you really need me to repost the graph showing black teen unmployment against min wage under Clinton??? under clinton we raised the mim wage ... under bill clinton we had a surplus of 500 billion dollars ... under bill clinton the black citizen had jobs ...under bush 1, under reagan, under bush 2, the black voter lost their jobs in huge numbers and you wonder why they won't vote republican ... they lost their job because of cutting taxes ... do you want to try and compare DEM leader ship verses republican leader ship ??? you will lose that debate, Graphs and all ... under Bush he took the 500 billion dollars that could have been used to pay down on the national debt ... he didn't do that... if bush had kept Clintons policies in tact he would have come out looking like a hero .... bush didn't do that ... he cut taxes ... he gave the rich 1% huge taxes cuts and ran the country in to the toilet ... almost another great depression toilet ... we didn't have any money for hispanic to work ... we didn't have any money for your Orientals to work ... we didn't have any money for young whites to work ... we didn't have any money for Blacks to work ... you republicans and this desire to cut taxes just because they are a taxes and you don't care what it does .... you have your heads so far up your asses with this we must cut taxes that you don't see what happens by cutting taxes ... ask Oklahoma what happen their ... they are in deep shit ... whjy ????because of their republicans in office ... they have cut taxes so bad they can't even pay their police... their fire department ... or any of the state services way to go repub-lie-tards ... the word on the street is republicans are in deep shit in that state ...

This is what White House leadership has done for black teenager unemployment.

03/08/2013
The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent in February, the Labor Department reported on Friday. That's still rather high, but it's nothing compared to what black teens are grappling with: an unemployment rate that grew to 43.1 percent.
That's higher than when the recession ended. It's also substantially higher than in November 2007, right before the recession started. Back then, the black teen unemployment rate -- teen being defined as anyone between the ages of 16 and 19 years old -- was 28.9 percent, according to Labor Department data.

Monday, July 21, 2014
The unemployment rate for black teenagers was an astonishing 40.5 percent in April, rising from 33.5 percent the month before. White teens, on the other hand, have 21.8 percent unemployment.

I'm just citing what the poll says and in case you have missed it Reid and the Senate have done an equally good job of declaring all bills from the House DOA in the Senate.

of course, he's a flaming liberal who had 3 communist parents and voted to left of Bernie Sanders, an open communist. Name a proposal of his that would not make things worse and explain why it would not make things worse?

 

[Darkwind]

Each response will one of these:

Studies arent true

Liberals did the Studies

OP is an asshole

Obama something.


Not once will true or false enter the equation because to republicans here. Whether something is true or false doesnt matter

Care to see a dozen or more environmental studies done by oil companies?

I wonder what your reply to those would be.

Gee if you price their labor over their worth you get fewer employed. Just like Econ 101 would have predicted!
Libs are bad at economics.

 

[mudwhistle]

good grief!!! good example of how not to be,a broken freaking record, 3rd grade mentality narrow minded boob.

The all inclusive left,willing to embrace nothing .

And you didn't bring any argument to show why they are wrong. Just ad hominem. That's a logical fallacy.

He didn't have to cuz just about everyone else did.

this is because liberals attacked and destroyed the black family and schools thus rendering black kids largely unfit to be contributing members of society.

Actually, hater dupe, our rich and corporations pay by far the lowest EFFECTIVE tax rates in the modern world, the nonrich and small businesses the most. Thanks to the GOP, stupid.

dear, can you present a substantive reason to oppose the freedom that our Republican Founders cherished so much?

WTF do you think that proves. UE went up under BOOOSH, and especially after the meltdown in Sept-October 2008, and see that downward break in Oct 2010- that's when the stimulus turned the economy around- we've had job growth ever since, despite Pub obstruction and phony crises...idiot.
