Franklin D Roosevelt
I dislike him for many reasons, but I don't feel like arguing economics right now. But whether or not you think he was a savior during the Depression and WWII, you cannot deny that ordering the unconstitutional act of detaining the Japanese Americans without a trial is unforgivable.
He essentially threw out the Constitution and betrayed citizens of the United States. That alone should qualify him for, at least, one of the worst presidents ever.
FDR was a disaster, he prolonged the depression a decade with his asinine socialist policies... but his interning of the Japanese was essential and helped keep the US homeland out of the war.
Had he not done so, Japanese insurgents would have reaped havoc all over the United States, not the least of which would have been in manufacturing.
In today's mamby-pamby PC world it was cruel... but in the reality of the 1940s US. There was no reasonable alternative.
Great deflection there, how about you answer the question I asked. 18+ trillion in debt, who's going to be stuck with the tab?
You mean you don't understand WHO and how the debt was created? I'll boil it down for you Bubba
OVER THE PAST 35 YEARS CONSERVATIVES/GOP HAVE REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANYTHING, INSTEAD PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE CREDIT CARD, THE ATTEMPTS BY THE LIBERALS/DEMS TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, WERE FOUGHT BY THE GOP/CONSERVATIVES. Weird you don't know that? But no one who is serious is worried about the current debt, why do you think money floods into the treasury to buy US bonds?
IF the GOP worked WITH Obama instead of fighting him, the US economy could grow it's way clear!
Right, because liberals have been so honest in debt negotiations, they say if you just give us more of your money we'll hold the line on spending. Never happened, never will. Every penny spent by the feds should be reflected in the budget, no off books expenditures and no base line budgeting. Let the citizens see exactly what shape we're in. Both parties are complicit and it needs to stop.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Remember HOW Clinton got 4 surpluses, 3 AFTER vetoing the GOP $792= billion tax cut?
PLEASE don't go to the canard about Ronnie Reagan, I don't want to have to embarrass you!
So your saying the national debt declined during those 4 fantasy surpluses? Let's do a honesty and reality check here.
Like MOST right wingers, you don't understand the difference with budget surpluses versus debt. I'm shocked
Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?
A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not

Pretty simple really, PUSH THE GOP to help US instead of going with their ideology like they have for about 15 years. Help the US continue to get back to where Clinton had US, THEN bring revenues back up to where Clinton/Carter had them before this trickle down nonsense. Stop the GOP from putting EVERYTHING on the credit card. Pretty simple really!
Bush said he was giving us a tax rebate upon entering office because there was a surplus. Are you saying he was lying? Should he not have given us that rebate?The US doesn't have a spending problem (except on that MIC Ike warned about) but a revenue problem as both Ronnie AND Dubya gutted them. Their policies can be traced back to 90%+ of current debt. Weird right?
"Starving the beast" is a political strategy employed by American conservatives in order to limit government spending by cutting taxes in order to deprive the government of revenue in a deliberate effort to force the federal government to reduce spending.
Before his election as President, then-candidate Ronald Reagan foreshadowed the strategy during the 1980 US Presidential debates, saying "John Anderson tells us that first we've got to reduce spending before we can reduce taxes. Well, if you've got a kid that's extravagant, you can lecture him all you want to about his extravagance. Or you can cut his allowance and achieve the same end much quicker."

I dislike him for many reasons, but I don't feel like arguing economics right now. But whether or not you think he was a savior during the Depression and WWII, you cannot deny that ordering the unconstitutional act of detaining the Japanese Americans without a trial is unforgivable.
He essentially threw out the Constitution and betrayed citizens of the United States. That alone should qualify him for, at least, one of the worst presidents ever.
FDR was a disaster, he prolonged the depression a decade with his asinine socialist policies... but his interning of the Japanese was essential and helped keep the US homeland out of the war.
Had he not done so, Japanese insurgents would have reaped havoc all over the United States, not the least of which would have been in manufacturing.
In today's mamby-pamby PC world it was cruel... but in the reality of the 1940s US. There was no reasonable alternative.

Jobless Claims Fall By 20,000 in March 28 Week
Initial claims for jobless benefits near the lowest level in 15 years
Jobless Claims Fall By 20 000 in March 28 Week - WSJ
WASHINGTON—The number of Americans seeking first-time unemployment benefits fell to near the lowest level in 15 years last week, a sign of continued improvement in the labor market.
Initial jobless claims decreased by 20,000 to a seasonally adjusted 268,000 in the week ended March 28, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had expected 285,000 new claims.
Last week’s level was just about above the 267,000 new claims filed in the Jan. 24 week. Claims that week were the lowest since the spring of 2000."""
Right before the idiots elected Dubya!
Smoke and mirrors.....Maybe less people are applying for unemployment benefits. Does that mean more aren't unemployed and getting no income at all? Does that mean more aren't underemployed? Does that mean people have greatly increased their assets? Does that somehow erase the fact that Obama has stolen trillions from the American people? Does that erase the chaos that Obama is facilitating in the Middle East? Does that erase Obama's racist politics? Does that erase Obama's corruption at all levels of government?
Honestly, there are some good things going on in America while Obama happens to be at the helm. But let's not pretend that this country doesn't have the cancer still.
Without false premises, distortions and lies, what would the right wing EVER have??
Only morons (like yourself) argue a series of cogent points by posting kiddy toons.
You and the rights inability to accept that after 8 years of Dubya/GOP job creator policies the US was falling off a cliff, AND it's 100% on Obama's shoulders the day he stepped into office. *shaking head*

INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Budget Surplus'
When spending exceeds income, the result is a budget deficit, which must be financed by borrowing money and paying interest on the borrowed funds, much like an individual spending more than he can afford and carrying a balance on a credit card. A balanced budget occurs when spending equals income. The U.S. government has only had a budget surplus in a few years since 1950. The Clinton administration (1993-2001) famously cured a large budget deficit and created a surplus in the late 1990s.
