What Does The World Think About Obama?

[PoliticalChic]

Why did the rest of the world recover faster than the US?

Answer:
They weren't governed by FDR

They had authoritarian govt's. Which meant no legislation only a strong man to lead...

Let's see.

The League of Nations collected data from many nations throughout the 1930s on industrial production, unemployment, national debt, and taxes.
How did Roosevelt's United States compare with other countries?

In all four of these key indexes the United States did very poorly, almost worse than any other nation in the study.

Most European nations handled the Great Depression better than the United States.

World Economic Survey: Eighth Year, 1938/1939 (Geneva: League of Nations, 1939) p.128, quoted in "New Deal or Raw Deal?: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America," by Burton W. Folsom Jr


So...not only did the "great" Emperor Franklin the First manage to extend and magnify the depression, but he couldn't compete with the leaders of most European nations.


"Great" seems to have developed a new definition.




Don't your hands hurt from holding on by your fingernails for so long?

Still can't admit the failure of the GOP to handle this small recession?

Are you asking if Hoover was a failure?

You betcha'!

Next question.

Yet the people wanted FDR, they must have all been in a trance, induced by FDR the demi-god..He was elected 4 times, so the people spoke of their approval to what he was doing..

Think the economic upheaval had anything to do with it?

That's why FDR worked so hard to continue it.

 

[PoliticalChic]

He had 3 years to "fix the problem"

Of course the real problem was that Hoover and other cronies had "fixed" the system in a different meaning of the word. A legacy, the GOP continues to this day.

If that's your complaint....how do you explain your embrace of FDR, who amplified what Hoover did?

You'd best claim lack of education on your part.....

It is amazing how leftists can so totally believe that when Republicans and Democrats do the exact same things, it's wrong when Republicans do it and right when Democrats do it. W and O are virtually clones

In fairness, right wingers do exactly the same when the "shoe is on the other foot." That's very much part of why I don't care to be associated with either group.

That works out well, because neither group wishes to be associated with you.

A win-win.

You're probably right about that to some extent; neither one cares all that much for pure truths.

Stand by the road with that Styrofoam cup and a cardboard sign "Will Provide Pure Truths For Food!"

It is so sad that our President is solely to blame for the stock markets around the world crashing, and the people who have lost their savings and seen their retirement investments go Puff, much like they did when Obama caused the Great Crash to our markets and the failure of our banks in 2007.

Thanks be to PoliticalChic for recording the history of the 20th and 21st Centuries, and placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Obama for WW I and the mandates and the failures of Wilson; WW II and the failures of FDR, HST, JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton and now Obama all of whom have contributed to the world wide successes of Communism even when RMN, Ron Reagan and the Bush Family worked so hard to enrich the rich and have their largess trickle down to the hoi polloi.

I'm a libertarian, you're preaching to the choir

I'm not that either. I once was, but upon studying sociology and psychology, I came to realize that for all the wonderful idealism of much that is Libertarianism, the odds of the U.S. implementing Libertarian principles to any meaningful extent were slim-to-none, at least in the foreseeable future, and slim was boarding the train right then and there.

Now, I'm merely someone who searches for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Upon finding it, I use it to form my points of view. That my viewpoints may concur with those of Dems, Reps, Libs, Communists, Socialists, conspiracy theorists, or even Martians is really of no concern to me.

If there were any one thing I can accurately be called, it's capitalist, but there's no party for that.

"....but upon studying sociology and psychology,...."

Now all is clear.

The more years in the university in the study of the social sciences, the less wise an individual is.

7. "The U.S. expanded at a 2.2% rate through the first nine months of the year, and the economy is projected to grow at a similar pace in the fourth quarter that ends on Dec. 31.

11. " The federal government heavily subsidizes higher education through a complex system of grants and loans. While the programs are great for colleges — they have enabled an astronomical increase in tuition — they contain few measures holding the institutions accountable to their students. As a result, only 59 percent of students graduate from four-year colleges and universities within six years. Those lucky enough to graduate face another hurdle: 44 percent of recent college graduates occupy jobs which do not require a college degree.

13. According to the 2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation, America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early 2009:

· Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.

· The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.

· The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.

· Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

19. "That basic math is why middle class incomes have been in decline under Obama. The Census Bureau reports that since Obama became President 7 years ago, real median household income has fallen by $1,300 a year. Heritage Foundation Chief Economist Steve Moore explained in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, “At 2 percent growth the economy doesn’t spin off enough jobs to increase wages, and tax revenues grow much too slowly to balance the budget.”

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened. Instead, what we have gotten under President Obama is the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression." http://limittaxes.org/2016/02/realizing-the-super-bowl-of-american-economic-growth/

While the programs are great for colleges — they have enabled an astronomical increase in tuition — they contain few measures holding the institutions accountable to their students.

Those lucky enough to graduate face another hurdle: 44 percent of recent college graduates occupy jobs which do not require a college degree.

13. According to the 2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation, America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early 2009:

· Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.

· The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.

· The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.

· Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

Why the disparity in the numbers? Well, the unemployment rate does not take into account people who are not in, or have dropped out of, the workforce altogether.

19. "That basic math is why middle class incomes have been in decline under Obama. The Census Bureau reports that since Obama became President 7 years ago, real median household income has fallen by $1,300 a year. Heritage Foundation Chief Economist Steve Moore explained in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, “At 2 percent growth the economy doesn’t spin off enough jobs to increase wages, and tax revenues grow much too slowly to balance the budget.”

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened. Instead, what we have gotten under President Obama is the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression." Realizing The Super Bowl Of American Economic Growth

Underscoring the report's weakness, employers hired 59,000 fewer workers in March and April than previously reported. While the unemployment rate fell three-tenths of a percentage point to 4.7 percent in May, the lowest since November 2007, that was in part due to people dropping out of the labor force."

I'm not that either. I once was, but upon studying sociology and psychology, I came to realize that for all the wonderful idealism of much that is Libertarianism, the odds of the U.S. implementing Libertarian principles to any meaningful extent were slim-to-none, at least in the foreseeable future, and slim was boarding the train right then and there.

Now, I'm merely someone who searches for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Upon finding it, I use it to form my points of view. That my viewpoints may concur with those of Dems, Reps, Libs, Communists, Socialists, conspiracy theorists, or even Martians is really of no concern to me.

The League of Nations collected data from many nations throughout the 1930s on industrial production, unemployment, national debt, and taxes.
How did Roosevelt's United States compare with other countries?

In all four of these key indexes the United States did very poorly, almost worse than any other nation in the study.

Most European nations handled the Great Depression better than the United States.

So...not only did the "great" Emperor Franklin the First manage to extend and magnify the depression, but he couldn't compete with the leaders of most European nations.


"Great" seems to have developed a new definition.




Don't your hands hurt from holding on by your fingernails for so long?

Yet the people wanted FDR, they must have all been in a trance, induced by FDR the demi-god..He was elected 4 times, so the people spoke of their approval to what he was doing..

Think the economic upheaval had anything to do with it?

That's why FDR worked so hard to continue it.

I doubt very seriously he would have been re-elected so many times if he acted like the GOP..

That's why FDR worked so hard to continue it.

I doubt very seriously he would have been re-elected so many times if he acted like the GOP..

Perhaps, among all of your inanities, you'd like to try to explain why he stated the problem when running.....then did everything he swore not to do.

1. The basis of FDR's 1932 campaign to win the presidency from Herbert Hoover was his emphatic promise to the suffering American people, that he would balance the budget.


2. .....he went on to vow that everyone he selects for his cabinet had to pledge absolute fealty to a balanced budget and a 25% across-the-board cut in government spending.
Yup.....he promised that.


3. Once in office, FDR set to work immediately. His "New Deal," it turned out, involved regulation and reform of the banking system, massive government spending to "prime the pump" by restarting the economy and putting people back to work, and the creation of a social services network to support those who had fallen on hard times. Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR): First 100 Days


4. "FDR’s policies were to the left of even Hoover’s. He established the National Recovery Administration. The bureaucracy created legal cartels that were forced to establish minimum prices and higher wages! This meant that there was a lack of competition in the economy, and prices remained high.

This, along with the prolonged unemployment due to artificially high wages, meant even more struggles for American citizens. In addition to these asinine economic interventions, FDR built on the already failed agricultural policies of Herbert Hoover. His American Agriculture Administration slaughtered six million pigs (I thought liberals were concerned for the hungry?) and destroyed ten million acres of cotton! This substantially slowed growth in agriculture.

In 1936, James E. Boyle of Cornell University argued that the AAA was responsible for the joblessness of at least two million Americans, mainly farmhands and sharecroppers. ....discouraging people from economic growth usually doesn’t lead to good employment figures."

"massive government spending" when he knew Harding had solved a similar problem in the very opposite manner.
