i would have expected no other answer from you

obama got handed an excrement filled sandwich by bushco and the repugs in the house and senate just keep piling it on, but then ii would expect the likes of you and your cohorts to ignore that...

oh well
 
Recessions end in 18 months with a return to 3+% growth. And this includes if you take no action at all. Obama has extended this just like FDR did before him. You can point fingers if you like but everyone knows thats a big steaming pile. Obama is the problem.

facts/proof have you? if so please provide them
 
Recovery doesnt happen universally. Certain areas feel the improvement before others.
All gallup polls indicate an uptick in positive attitude about the economy but of course thats not all areas of the country.

not just bushco, but repug obstructionism in general

the repugs tried as hard as they could to make obama a one term president and failed even that

what the repugs have done is their best to obstruct any legislation except their own mealy mouth social engineering which they knew would be dead on arrival

If you were aware of current events you would know the government standstill applied to a whopping 17% of it. Not much of a standstill . You would also know that the donkeys obstructed everything and blocked appointments. Its called politics. Perhaps the left shiuld consider a wider perspective of the world than some cable commedian and a socialite's forey into "news". And if you think that more pork barrel spending ala porkulus which is all BO offered up would be any more help than the zero amount of help it provided the first time it was tried you really are due for a shock. It didnt work for Roosevelt or anyone else for that matter.

Just a few years ago, a powerful ideology – the belief in free and unfettered markets – brought the world to the brink of ruin. Even in its hey-day, from the early 1980’s until 2007, American-style deregulated capitalism brought greater material well-being only to the very richest in the richest country of the world. Indeed, over the course of this ideology’s 30-year ascendance, most Americans saw their incomes decline or stagnate year after year.

Moreover, output growth in the United States was not economically sustainable. With so much of US national income going to so few, growth could continue only through consumption financed by a mounting pile of debt.

Yeaaaa... our financial problems started when Obama was elected... yea right.

The major objective of Republicon ideology is to milk the wealth of the middle class and drive the U.S. into third world status.

Crash, what was happening to the U.S. economically in the '70's? What would have happened, in your opinion, had we stayed on that same path?

Even more significantly, where does he get the idea that there was anything approaching a free, unfetteted market then ?
