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.

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.

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.

Historical Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary

Largest Gross Domestic Product in history!!
When Bush took office in 2001 GDP was $12.355,271,000,000
when Bush left office in 2008 GDP was $14,359,490,000,000
A 16% increase in GDP or $2 TRILLION.
So how did those 4 gigantic events affect the Gross Domestic Product from 2000 to 2009?

So starting in 2001 132,548,000 people were working.
At the end of 2008 138,056,000 people working..

IN spite of recession, dot.com bust, 9/11, worst hurricanes.... MORE people were working... more tax revenue was collected. GDP grew!

But IDIOTS like you FFOs and LIPs ..............
WHY is it so hard for idiots like you to RECOGNIZE that these EVENTS cost jobs and in spite of the economy GREW!!!

FACTS... NOT hyperbole! REALITY!!!

No recession started under Clinton. That's a lie and that's as far as I got in your post since it's reasonable to assume that everything else you posted is also a lie.

If truth and facts were on your side you wouldn't have to lie.

So "recessions" are just like water faucets. You turn on a faucet water comes out. Recession starts immediately... is that your perception?
For totally ignorant people about the economy the prime basis for determining a "recession" is:
The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.

The U.S. Recession of 2001-2002

As always, you prove to be too retarded to make a cogent argument. First off all, you're referencing nominal figures, not real figures. Too fucking stupid. You don't use nominal figures because you like them better than real numbers.

Secondly, for some bizarre reason, you put the word, "downturn," next to a quarter indicating growth. Just how stupid are you to think you can magically alter history if you just type a misplaced word?

And lastly, the recession started in March, 2001, and there's nothing on this planet you can use to change that. In fact, there might not have even been a recession if not for 9.11.

And like a little kid you think "hmm Recession starts March 1, 2001 because that's when the NBER said so."
Recessions are not like water faucets. They don't just magically start on a specific date.

You're a fucking retard. You think I should believe you and not the NBER???

Need I remind you? When referencing GDP, you used nominal figures, not real figures. Even worse for you, you posted the word, "downturn," next to a quarter showing growth.

We learned two things from this exercise...

1... you're batshit insane.

2... the 2001 recession started in March, 2001.

[U2Edge]

The monthly unemployment rate for September 2015 was 5.1%. This is Obama's 81st month of office. This drops the average unemployment rate for the time he has been in office from the average 8.02% in June 2015 at 78 months to the average 7.92% in September 2015 at 81 months.

Here is the new standings for the Presidents with Obama's revised numbers:

The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

Barrack Obama: 7.92%

Average Unemployment Rates for US Presidents since after World War II:

01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
04. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
05. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
06. George W. Bush: 5.27%
07. John Kennedy: 5.98%
08. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
09. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
10. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
11. Gerald Ford: 7.77%
12. Barack Obama: 7.92%

641.4/81 = 7.9185 = 7.92%

There are 15 months left in Obama's Presidency.

The labor force participation rate has dropped to a new low of 62.4%, the lowest ever since September 1977 when it was at 62.3%, 38 years ago.

That doesn't matter, silly!

 

[tyroneweaver]

still the biggest clown on that list is Jimmy Carter. Ford handed him over a pretty good economy and the moron blew it.
Truman and johnson had everybody fighting a war, that's why their numbers are low

Have to give Carter some credit, He burned the country down in only 4 yrs

So you are of the very very simple mind that On March 1,2001 at 12:01 AM the recession started. The GDP immediately dropped below zero.

Here is what the "experts" define as a "recession"
The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession.

The monthly unemployment rate for September 2015 was 5.1%. This is Obama's 81st month of office. This drops the average unemployment rate for the time he has been in office from the average 8.02% in June 2015 at 78 months to the average 7.92% in September 2015 at 81 months.

Here is the new standings for the Presidents with Obama's revised numbers:

The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

Barrack Obama: 7.92%

Average Unemployment Rates for US Presidents since after World War II:

01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
04. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
05. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
06. George W. Bush: 5.27%
07. John Kennedy: 5.98%
08. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
09. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
10. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
11. Gerald Ford: 7.77%
12. Barack Obama: 7.92%

641.4/81 = 7.9185 = 7.92%

There are 15 months left in Obama's Presidency.

The labor force participation rate has dropped to a new low of 62.4%, the lowest ever since September 1977 when it was at 62.3%, 38 years ago.

President Obama was given a higher unemployment rate than Reagan and will leave office with a lower unemployment rate than Reagan ever had

No other President on the list was losing 700,000 jobs a month when he took office

Obama will also have a much lower labor force participation rate and its not yet clear whether the average unemployment rate over the entire time Obama was in office will be lower or higher than Reagans. Simply sighting the last monthly unemployment rate level Obama has, 1 month out of 96, is meaningless and irrelevant. One much consider all the data when rating a Presidents performance, not just their last month in office.

If the unemployment rate averages out at 5.4% or better over the remainder of Obama's presidency, Obama will finish ahead of Reagan.

Obama is also the only president since World War II -- besides Ronald Reagan -- to win re-election with the jobless rate above 6 percent.

I'm not even going to get into this because we already know many of the reasons for this and this has been projected for a long time. What I want to know is what cons really believe, because I'm so tired of them talking out their ass all the time and being so hypocritical. See, cons tell us that the unemployment rate is actually much higher and that everyone has stopped looking for work because there just aren't any jobs out there due to the horrible economy. On the flip side, cons tell us that people are lazy and just want to suck off the government by collecting welfare because they are too lazy to get a job. Well which one is it? Are they just too lazy to work or are there no jobs for them in the first place? You can't have it both ways, but of course cons do want it both ways, because they think it makes them sound intelligent or something. So tell us, is the economy as bad as you say or are people just lazy?

 

[Faun]

still the biggest clown on that list is Jimmy Carter. Ford handed him over a pretty good economy and the moron blew it.
Truman and johnson had everybody fighting a war, that's why their numbers are low

Have to give Carter some credit, He burned the country down in only 4 yrs

Find a president who created more jobs in 4 years than Carter?

Over 300,000 baby boomers a month are retiring and leaving the workforce under Obama. How many baby boomers retired under Reagan?

Do 10,000 baby boomers retire every day?

Only an idiot would believe our Unemployment is at 5.1-5.2%

but as we see there are plenty of them in this country

good grief.

There are approximately 7,915,000 unemployed, defined as not working, willing and able to work and looked for work in last 4 weeksn unless on temporary layoff expecting to return..
There are approximately 148,800,000 employed, defined as worked at least one hour for pay or 15 hours unpaid in a family business or temporarily absent from a job.
So the labor force is 7,915,000 + 148,800,000 = 156,715,000
7,915,000/156,715,000 = 5.05%, rounded up to 5.1%.
