What Important Issues Did Obama Really Solve While In Office?

the last administration ALREADY BAILED OUT corporate America.

Barack Obama: King Of Corporate Welfare | The Huffington Post

NOW they want MORE in the form of MORE tax breaks on the backs of the average worker...

the dollar has been WEAK for decades but now that we are on par, the donald whines about his corrupt pals who need MORE loans.

Trump says business friends 'can't get loans' because of Dodd-Frank

trump wants to drive the economy back into that ditch ^ NO INCOME, NO CREDIT, NO PROBLEM!
Did you even read your own citations???

Lol.
 
Yes...Thanks to President Obama, there was no Depression

If he listened to Republicans and allowed the banks and auto companies to fail, tried to balance the budget and provided no stimulus.....there would have been
It takes 18 months for a president's policies to take full effect. So why did the Great Recession end on June of 2009? Could it be that the left stopped fucking up the economy?

Obviously you don't know a thing about economics.

No it doesn't take 18 months...there is no one size fits all for economic policies

Obama's economic policies took effect immediately because there was a panic among investors. The economy was going to collapse and they wanted to take their money out before it did. Employees were let go in anticipation of a Depression

Obama stood up and proclaimed the US Government would stand behind the banks, prevent the auto companies from collapsing and infuse $800 billion into the economy

At that point the panic subsided. Investors started to put money back into the economy....there were some good buys to be had
Employers stopped the layoffs and eventually started hiring again

The stock market reversed, employment and GDP went positive

Thanks to President Obama....he prevented a Depression
And he also lowered sea-level at the same time.

The recession was caused by negativity in the markets. Once a new president was elected it caused a more positive outlook to prevail, but it was shortlived which resulted in a weak economy and little or zero growth. Unemployment slowly recovered not in reality but statistically. People stopped looking and as the unemployed ran out of benefits they dropped from the stats. At the same time labor participation tanked to a level close to the Great Depression. The rich got richer and the poor got on government assistance. All Obama had to do to improve the economy was do nothing, but instead he made it worse with massive tax increases and intrusive regulations jacking up the costs of everything from Cigarettes to meat products. The cost of a steak went from $3 to $10. A Hostess apple pie went from 50 cents to $1.50. in a few months.
Obama got a participatory Nobel Prize, considering the fact that he caused unrest in the Middle East which caused a massive flood of refugees to invade Europe. Sexual-assaults have skyrocketed in European countries. An explosion of terrorist acts in Paris, London, and the US is the result of Obama and his Arab Spring. Race relations in America is in the toilet and getting worse. Gays are suing bakeries, pizza restaurants or anyone else who refuses to participate in same-sex marriages.

We are not talking about negative economic pressure
We are talking about economic panic that caused investors to bail on the market and caused employers to lay off hundreds of thousand of workers in expectation of an economic collapse

Yes...we know Republicans urged Obama to do nothing and let the economy work itself out. We saw what happened when Bush did exactly that. The economy turned from a minor recession to full blown collapse as Bush stood by and did nothing

What if Obama had done what Republicans urged him to do?
Allow the banks to continue to collapse
Allow the auto companies to collapse
Don't put any money into the economy
Balance your budget

Republicans would have led us into a Depression and then blamed Obama
So in effect, Obama pushed it down the road while he played golf.....leaving us with massive debt.

Next, Congress will simply take our savings to pay off that debt.....because we can fuck Americans but we can't screw over foreign investors.
No...Obama presided over the lowest rate of growth of Federal spending since the 1950s.

Again, this is demonstrable.
 
  1. There was no Depression
  2. Obamacare wasn’t a solution...it is part of the problem
  3. Didn’t save auto companies....simply bailed out the unions
  4. Iran is still working on their nuke program with UN's blessing
  5. Recognized Cuba? And what did that solve? Nothing. Now Cubans can't escape and come to America. They will automatically be deported without legal recourse, no thanks to president big-ears.

Here is an article referring to an AEI conclusion about ARRA..

AEI Says Stimulus Boosted Economy By 4%


Note the hyperlink to the source piece.......click on it....

AEI was clearly bumming that the world was citing its economist on the role of The Stimulus in reversing The Great Recession....

So they tried to Lavrenti Beria (look it up....it's totes mot juste) the thing.....but you can pierce the veil and still find it....


Here's the heresy...


. Absent temporary fiscal stimulus and inventory rebuilding, which taken together added about 4 percentage points to U.S. growth, the economy would have contracted at about a 1 percent annual rate during the second half of 2009.


According to AEI's economist, the Stimulus was the difference between Recession and NotRecession.
I imagine if you flood the economy with $700 billion dollars it will have some effect.
Also if you monitized the debt by selling it to the Fed thru Quantitative Easing by the billions, you can stave off some of the effects of your destructive economic policies. But it's all a paper shuffle and a sham that is set to blow up if anyone tries to address it.

Obama set off mines in health care, immigration, and in the economy. Meanwhile the media totally ignored it.
I guess these would be "mines" apparent only to people with Decoder Specs....

The Fed was obliged to carry more than reasonable, because Congress was anxious to sabotage the US economy.

And that, as everything else I assert, can be demonstrated objectively.
So the Fed, which is packed with friends of Obama, decides it's time to cause another Recession by repeatedly jacking up interest rates, which will increase the debt. They held off on any increases despite the fact that the media was claiming we had a strong economy. Now that a Republican is in office, it's time to torpedo the economy once again and blame it on Trump.
 
While conservative critics of traditional welfare payments to single mothers have bitterly complained about the flow of federal money to the "undeserving poor," the checks, loan guarantees and other subsidies flying out the door of the Treasury, Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation dwarf the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program -- a.k.a welfare for poor people -- which, by the standards of AIG and Citicorp, get chump change: $23.2 billion this year.

The new Corporate Welfare - including the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP); the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP); FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantees (TLG); the Targeted
Investment Program (TIP)
; the Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility (TALF) etc., etc. -- goes to corporations that are principal players in the financial practices that contributed to the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. These corporations include -- but are by no means limited to -- Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, AIG, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Sun Trust, State Street, U.S. Bancorp, PNC Financial Services, Capital One Financial Corp, American Express, Chase Home Finance, Countrywide, and GMAC Mortgage.

The administration is acutely aware of the political liabilities of its bailout policies. On April 14, in a speech at Georgetown University, Obama sought to provide a detailed defense of massive government expenditures to rescue failing American businesses. In that speech, the president addressed three of the most controversial issues in the bailout:

1. The $700 billion Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP), probably the most heavily criticized program:

Barack Obama: King Of Corporate Welfare | The Huffington Post
 
He solved the problem of millions of people not having health insurance.
He did it by TAXING us up the wazzu, but none the less he did provide millions of people with health insurance.

Lowest rate you may be able to demonstrate with "Fuzzy Math" thanks to baseline budgeting scams, but still the debt nearly doubled. I wonder what the total spent by Obama to his last fiscal year will be. He's still responsible till October of this year.

Obama did not play his first round of Golf until April 2009. After Stimulus had been passed. The mighty Trump has already played 12 rounds while his party is crumbling around him

What extra tax did you pay?

If you're gonna be promiscuous with your opinions you owe it to your correspondents to make them informed.
FY 2017 is Obama's baby.
Obama blamed his first year on Bush, along with TARP, so nigga please. Trump's first budget hasn't even been voted on yet.
 
He solved the problem of millions of people not having health insurance.
He did it by TAXING us up the wazzu, but none the less he did provide millions of people with health insurance.

Blah, blah, blah....

If I wanted to hear your bullshitty things, I would have directed the question at you.

I didn't... Let the imbecile speak for itself.
 
He solved the problem of millions of people not having health insurance.
He did it by TAXING us up the wazzu, but none the less he did provide millions of people with health insurance.
What extra tax did you pay?
You seem to think that when a poor person gets free health care coverage from the government that "no one" pays for it, eh?
"It's free if the gov't pays for it", eh?

Here's a list of problems that Obama said he would change:

  1. Rising health care costs
  2. Illegal immigration
  3. Race relations
  4. The debt
  5. Rising energy costs
  6. Terrorism
  7. Develop alternative energy
  8. End overseas oil dependency
  9. Fix Washington
Instead Obama left office with these problems in worse shape than when he entered office
  1. Health care costs have tripled
  2. Illegals are soaking up benefits and coming here in droves
  3. Race relations are worse than the last 50 years
  4. The debt has doubled
  5. Energy costs have skyrocketed
  6. Terrorism is a constant threat
  7. We have no alternative energy that is affordable
  8. We're still dependent on OPEC
  9. Washington is broken

What did Obama give us after 8 years of Hope & Change

Same-sex marriage.
Cop killings every week.
Riots
Illegals and non-citizens voting in our elections
$20 trillion in debt
A broken health care system


Obama left us with a mess. Now he's on some island attending some men's only club and the media is too busy trashing Bush (Trump) to even notice.

So what did Obama really do for us?
He made ISIS a household name everyone recognizes.
