I would like to see both sides working together but do you think that will ever happen? hell no, Republicans are less government, tax cuts for the rich, more war and against abortion! Democrats are just the opposite, tax the rich, less war, for abortion! which one works, hell we be better off with a democrat than a republican! FUCK YOU G W BUSH and you rich scum bags!
@TheAngryAmericanwon Better off with democrats? Uh yeah, democrats were at the helm for 4 of the 5 major wars in the 1900’s so there goes your less war theory. Sorry but rich scumbags have created the greatest country on earth. Although the more government thing is starting to stymie our greatness. And I hate to break it to ya but abortion is technically murder. Sorry but it’s not part of a woman’s body if it has a completely separate set of DNA. Yet dems will rally for killers on death row...
@TheAngryAmericanwon Oh yeah I forgot... GOD BLESS G. W. BUSH!! Sorry but the “decider” knew how to make the tough decisions. Unlike the epic fail of a president we have now.
I don't get this guy, Obama is no different then the Republicans he continues to increase government spending and run our country further into debt than the bush administration did. We are still in Iraq, and Afghanistan we spend billions of dallars in foreign aid to those countries, and the people in those countries still attack our troops. DOD still gets retarded funding, WTF does the Department of Education do, the states run public education.. dont they, Vote Ron Paul
@PFCanarchy we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan because bush drove us there, 4 years it took Bush to fuck over the country within 8 yrs bush drove us in debt that we are in now! We have to tax the rich, the few want freedom they get to pay for it!!
@TheAngryAmericanwon Sorry but Bush went into Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our ass. You might have forgotten but Afghanistan was where al qaeda festered their wacky ideology and Iraq had a wacky boob with bunch of anthrax that we actually gave him back in the day. You know, similar to the kind that was floating around in the mail right after 911... See when one terrorist asshole attacks, you kind of have to keep your eye on the other ones too. George W. Bush is the man!
@TheAngryAmericanwon Also, you should maybe be appalled that Obama has spent as much cash in 2 1/2 years as Bush did in 8. So I guess Obama was able to “fuck over the country” faster than Bush ever did. Where’s your outrage for that? Yeah yeah I know he's trying to fix the economy right? I hate to break it to you but no country in the history of the earth has ever spent their way out of a recession. And what jobs will we create by taxing the rich more? That’s just a recipe for fewer jobs dude.
ALL TEABAGGERS ARE GOONS ALL REPUBLICANS ARE DEMONS FROM HELL AND THE DEMOCRATS WHAT PHONIES THEY ARE MERELY SERVANTS TO THE ONES REALLY IN CONTROL THE GOONS AND THE REPUBLICANS!!!!
@triplev789 your opinion doesn't jive, where are your facts, the economy blew up just before the President took office w.bush started his term with a 237 billion dollar record surplus and ended his term with a 1.3 trillion dollar records record deficit "in the red big time"who was the president at the time w.bush. what party did w. bush represent "republican",there you have it all in a nutshell. so!,now who fucked up "THE REPUBLICANS PARTY ONCE AGAIN!! ". so put up or shut up with your facts .
@thegeneral0007 Ok, here’s some facts. Bush averaged $410 Billion in deficit spending a year. Obama is averaging $1.41 Trillion a year. Also, which party was writing all those spending bills during Bush’s term? Let’s see, which party controlled both houses of congress? Hmm, actually which party has been spending and creating more government since before Bush was even born? And which party forced lenders to give mortgages to people that could afford them. The democratic party, epic fail...
That was pretty funny. Even though republicans and democrats are now basically the same thing and only point fingers at each other to distract morons from looking for the real causes of problems. That was still a good one.
everything the President is saying is true, he's not making up a lie like you would and mislead people. oh! i know, the truth hurts huh! sounds like you are living a lie. we know your parents taught you to just do what ever you want and to lie to make things right.
It's not our fault that we republicans are bad at driving. We're too busy paying other people's bills with our tax dollars that we couldn't afford a fully functioning car! Stupid cash for clunkers and their broken down cars....
let me get this straight, you've been living in your home town all your life and still site seeing. its not President obamas fault because you traded in your sleigh ride and got another one. you are suppose to have a mechanic go with you to buy a good car to do a compression check on all cylinders. da!!!!
you republicans have and excuse for everything you never want to admit when you are wrong "i didn't do it the democrats did it ".now that's ignorant ,if it was the other way around you republican would be all up in are face talking about tell the truth,tell the truth. huh! this isn't burger king and no you can't have it your way!!!!.
@thegeneral0007 Name one thing that Bush had EVER blamed on anyone else. Go ahead, just one example. Despite the fact Obama campaigned on the premise he know how to fix this mess, he sure spends a lot of time blaming everyone else. “I inherited this mess”, “the republicans drove us into the ditch”, etc. You never heard Bush say if Clinton would have just taken Osama when Sudan offered him up. Obama blathers about bipartisanship all the time then turns around and makes stupid comments like this
@vamoalla9 - Well, actually Bush did inherit an economic mess. The housing bubble was caused by the asinine Community Reinvestment Act that forced banks to enter risky loans with people that couldn’t afford them. Thank you Jimmy and Bill... Then in 2003 when Bush warned of Fannie and Freddie solvency, Dodd and Frank killed it in committee. So like I said, Bush never blamed anyone for his troubles even though they were caused by failed leftwing ploicies. Damn, facts are such a pesky thing.
@NoBamaNation2012 LOL...Nice try revisionist. Bush came into such an economic mess that he decided to cut give back SURPLUS money. Facts are pesky things. And so are educated liberals. Try again.
@vamoalla9 Facts are pesky things. And so are dates. I figured an educated liberal would know that Bush gave tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. When did the housing bubble pop again? 2008! And why did it pop again? Oh yeah sub-prime loans to people with poor credit ratings. Why was that again? Oh yeah, failed liberal policies like the Community Reinvestment Act that forced such loans. Disagree? Then tell me what bush policy caused the financial crisis. Then tell me what party passed it through congress.
@vamoalla9 Uh, do I need to point out that YOU’RE the one that changed the subject? This video is about the economy. EVERYTHING I wrote was about that subject. And please point out the moment you pinned me in a corner cuz I apparently missed it. Man, I had hope for you vamoalla9. I figured an educated liberal like you could at least answer the question. Here, I’ll make it easy 4U. Fill in the blanks. "Bush caused the financial crisis because of his ___ policy and the ___ party passed that bill"
@NoBamaNation2012 Just go back and read the posts. Try using your brain to absorb the information. If YOU can tell me what my point, is. We can debate further. The problem with you conservatives is all you want to do is talk, and very loudly at that. You never bother to try to understand any other point of view but your own. The posts are there. READ.
@vamoalla9 Dude, I read all your posts. Is there a secrete message in there to decipher? Cuz you didn’t make very many points. If you can’t answer how W caused the economic mess, just say so. You say conservatives don’t listen to other points of views… Do I need to point out your hypocrisy like the whole change the subject thing? When Maddow and Olbermann tell you how to answer that question, you can get back to me.
Looks like the country is singing a different tune. Republicans got the keys back because democrates don't know how to drive either. Dems didn't just drive us into a ditch, they lit the car on fire and watched it burn saying all the time, "Its the right thing to do". Well America has spoken, they're out.
He's right. Look where the country was in 2000 then in 2008. Holy shit how did they fuck it up so badly? And morons just voted more Republicans into office because they were scared
in that "given time" is what's critical because if the u.s. didn't help bears stearns how much more jobs would've been devastated? When Lehman Bros. collapsed how many points did the market go down by in that one day? They were expecting to be helped but didn't get it and people lost faith in the market. Obama's stimulus did work, you're stating something that a very few minority economists say. Finally, why shouldn't the government help when the banks were betting for you to lose your home?
@QuartuvLarry you fail to address any other topics that i've addressed and the government does help create wealth...the government is basically a corporation as well
@knowledge198405 No, moron. Government does NOT create wealth. Otherwise there would be no need for a private sector. And don't presume to tell me there's no need for a PRIVATE sector! That's a primrose path to stupidity which I will just as happily burn!
@QuartuvLarry I guess your ability to read is that of a second grader. I said help you stupid ignorant moron. And again your inability to respond to everything else I've said shows your ignorance. I bet you're that same stupid moronic people who think Regean was the best president, right? I'm sure you believe deregulation is the best way to operate even though it has already been proven that corporations cannot be trusted? You're that minimalist, stupid minimalist that doesn't know about history
@knowledge198405 The only regulation that SHOULD remain is the Glass-Steagall Act, and THAT was stripped away under Clinton. Do you know what a corporation is? It's a group of people making decisions. Do you know what government is? It's a group of people making decisions. One is not morally superior to the other. Didn't you even know that?
So telling me that "been proven that corporations can't be trusted" is an arbitrary waste of comment space.
@QuartuvLarry No one is not morally superior to the other but one is capable of being held accountable more so than a corporation. And once again you fail to address any issues that I've mentioned in our conversation and finally I figured why, Mr Tea Party follower guy who spews nonsense, it's because you follow the tea party! Yay! "I believe in lower taxes with a low to no deficit but I don't want to pay taxes to lower it Yay! I also watch faux news for objective non-biased news information"
@knowledge198405 A few bulbs short of a Christmas tree, aren'tcha? I don't have cable, and am infinitely happier for the fact. See, a corporation IS held accountable through the market, while this government's accountability has stretched into two-year election cycles. Like it or not, we vote with our dollars. And yeah, the Tea Party IS holding this government accountable. What, you think we voted republican because we LIKE them? Democrats are the suck-ass, but republicans are still on probation
@QuartuvLarry we hold corporations accountable really? Yeah i don't see many banks ceo's going to prison nor high execs, nor do i see people stop buying nike, gap, or whatever else,and especially cheap products. We do not hold corporations accountable because most people are too self-involved to care. Continue voting for the rep. while they give tax breaks to corp.who ship jobs overseas,and people think immigration is the biggest problem ha! this convo is over, you can't see further than yourarm
@knowledge198405 You actually think corporations sending jobs overseas is the government's job to stop! No thanks! I don't like seeing us bleeding jobs either, but a company has a right to control it's own assets however it sees fit, as opposed to any benighted charity you think some overpaid union is due. Better that than mounting an economic Berlin Wall!
Besides, you're confusing corporations with banks, so it looks like the conversation ISN'T over!!!
Didn't douchebag Obama give the keys to slobbering porky pig Barney Frank to oversea the new economic reform bill?.......Whose giving who the keys Obama?
You have to wonder who wrote this bullcrap for Obama - maybe the same guy who gave him the Katrina laugh line at the expense of the people of the Gulf Coast.
i love how people more particularly the republicans say he shouldn't do this or that but what are their positions other than "no" to obama? People expect him to correct policies and ideals that have been leading this collapse since the early 80's with Reagan at the helm. All hail Holy Reagan but wait didn't he raise taxes too?!?! Shit he's a socialist too huh?! Obama isn't a a magician and the only person involved in policies we need more independents than people who blindly follow party lines
@knowledge198405 Always the question that over-dependent statists ask. "What solution do republicans offer, then?"
Here's a revolutionary idea: Nothing. That's the BEST thing the government could do for the economy. Asking for gov't help is like asking a retard to help out with homework. IT DOESN'T HELP!
@QuartuvLarry Really??? Lets look back into history shall we? Look up Hoovervilles and how they came about and hopefully you can see right off the bat who they named it after and why. The economy is not a godlike entity that cannot collapse, it was created by man so inherently it is faulty and needs to be altered with time. The question is how much
@knowledge198405 The economy is a lot like the Boethian Wheel. It rolls you into the mud before lifting you to the light. There was no Great Depression before the one that started in 1929. The one that occured lasted as long as it did because FDR putzed around with an economic cycle that would've healed itself MUCH more quickly, like the short-lived recessions that happened beforehand.
@QuartuvLarry I know some of the policies of FDR are questionable but doing nothing is far worse, again my example are Hoovervilles. Also, Adam Smith's philosophy says capitalism will not work if man becomes corrupt. And that's what clearly happened now and your remark on the Boethian Wheel is not true. People who are rich stay rich and there would be no mud if it was steered correctly.
@knowledge198405 No, gov't doing nothing would be far better. Of course, there would be considerable pain, but it would hurt in a much shorter time without government interference. Besides, Adam Smith's philosophy only comes into play when government merges with corporate, and, of course, bails out bad behavior with idiotic tax payer-funded economic stimuli. Without stimulus, bad companies fail, good companies likely recover or ascend. Going to localized currency would also improve things.
@QuartuvLarry Adam Smiths philosophy is not when government mergers with corporation but he speaks of humans weaknesses. And when government doesn't do anything people or shall i say the working class becomes homeless. The economy is fallible or what makes it not need government interference when in the past has shown it do egregious things? And going back to your Boethian Wheel idea, if it continues to falter is it not stupid to continue let it be?
@knowledge198405 I wouldn't say the economy is so infallible that it doesn't need government interference (Glass-Steagall Act was a GOOD thing) but I AM saying that government is too fallible to interfere such as it does. I mean, by what logic can you presume that a non-manipulated economy remains devastated in perpetuity when the nature of man is constantly in motion? Economy is, after all, a man-made thing, which means it won't remain static.
@QuartuvLarry by what logic may presume this....other than Hoover presidency, i'll go more recent, the Asian financial crisis of the 90's. More specifically, Japans, they had conservatives voted into office again just like here in the u.s. today and they put removed policies that the liberals put in place to deregulate and pushed their economy into a double dip recession.
@QuartuvLarry haha yes Hoover did tax the rich! They originally had high taxes and it was either Hoover which I think it was or the president right before him that cut taxes drastically right before the depression. So because Hoover liked a balance budget he raised them back to almost where they were before the depression for the rich, who have the most disposable income.
And back to japan, yes once they killed the stimulus plans the country went back into a recession.
@knowledge198405 Of course, if you kill a stimulus, a country will feel some hurt CAUSED BY THAT STIMULUS, but it would have righted itself, given time. But, apparently nobody learned that stimulus plans don't work. Bush's didn't work, Obama's didn't work...and Japan is foolishly putting up more stimuli today!
Blame Blame Blame!! This is the leader of "Our Party"..He's been driving the car the past 2 years..when is he gonna step up and say "Yes We Can" is heading towards "Nope..We Can't?!?!?!?
The car in the ditch came because of a democratic congress beginning in 2006.
Notice it crashed after? hmmm. Every time someone blames bush they really meant to say Congress. Bush's powers are quite limited. So 3 trillion dollars ... and no one says anything to Obama like... hey... you outdid bush. You did not inherit your spending? You spent more you asshole
@Lifeisincredible911 If you are talking about the bailout, we did get most of that money back. Also at lest he didnt start to wars and take away civil liberties. At least he got a public option passed. I dont see any repbulican doing anything but screaming and saying no, your party is a joke. Come up with soultions and maybe ill listen but all your doing now is being a whining bitich.
Congress controls the purse strings. The dems have had the majority in Congress since the 2006 election. The catalyst for the mortgage debacle was the CRA, signed by Carter in 1977 and enforced by Clinton in 1994. If I hear how "the GOP drove the economy into the ditch" one more time I'm going to throw up.
But to be fair, I dont blame Obama for that. I blame the crooks he works for.We have to blame Obama because he is the face, the people behind the scenes pulling his strings are the problem. Ive said it a number of times, Dont vote for the person you see on TV, he/she isnt really the one in charge, vote for the person you will never see unless something really bad happens and they have to come out to defend the TV person(: Thats who's running the show.
Im still waiting for the explanation to why I have seen over 25 new seperate taxes placed on my investments,personal and professional. If I remember right,and I think many people can back me up with this,Didnt Obama preach he wouldnt raise or add new taxes to people making less the 250k a year?I make less then 250k a year,yet here's all these new taxes.They were not there 3 years ago.In fact,the taxes starting showing about a month after he took office. Wierd.LOL. America got scammed.
He's speaking the truth! Geez --- teabaggers are just Republicans rebranded as populist and ready to win big. Get ready America - you're falling into the abyss if you are taken in by their fake populism ! It's their mess that was created over years - Obama tried to compromise - tried to reach across the aisle but was rebuffed time and time by the losers of the last election. But - he really should have to balls to do what he was elected to do: maintain a progressive agenda
What the hell is he so smug about? He must be really proud of his cute little car metaphor and all, (seeing as he keeps using it over and over) but after 2 years things are worse than ever. If he's this crappy through his entire term, I promise you that "It's Bush's fault!" will be the rallying cry for his re-election campaign. And if he serves two terms, (God forbid) I also promise you there will always be apologists willing to say that 8 whole years just wasn't enough to make things better.
@615Deathdealer Teabaggers? WTF are you talking about. This asshole spent 3 trillion dollars. He is the fucking ditch. That is more than bush spent in 8 fucking years. Are you an asshole or an idiot?
@Lifeisincredible911 actually 3 trillion is what it took 203 years of Presidents to spend...Obama did that in just 18 months.. The libtards said that Obama being President would make history.... The only history Obama has made is being the worst President in history! You can't reason with a liberal puke democrap, their minds are too weak to handle any reason...
This is so ridiculous. This idiot has done nothing to help the economy, in fact he has done quite a bit to hinder it. He could have stopped the oil leak alot sooner if he would have taken the help. He got a health bill passed that will hurt middle & low income families into bankruptcy. Not to mention all the other things that go under the radar or he makes ignorant people think will help him. The saddist part is the people that voted for him are the ones going to be hurt the most. Karma i guess
I'm pretty sure the economy sucks because of people buying things on credit who can't afford them. I'm pretty sure things like home loans with zero money down and low credit scores were pressed during the Clinton administration. I'm pretty sure Clinton is a Democrat. So I'm pretty sure it was the Democrats who drove the "car" into the "ditch" then tossed the keys to Bush and said, "Ok, you're turn to drive."
Obama's use of this analogy is a symptom of the problem with all politicians; the economy is not a car to be driven by any narsasistic ego maniac. The free-market is a force of human nature, like the waves in the ocean. Surfers can ride the ebbs and flows with great sucess, but those who try to alter their course only waste their energy.
Notice how when everything goes to hell, he can't take the blame for anything, he has to point fingers, and being the democrat that he is, at republicans.
wow, jerk. what happened to "not a nation of republicans and democrats but a nation of americans."?
I'm pretty sure that increasing taxes on american businesses is not going to help them produce exports to alleviate our national debt or hire people suffering from our shrinking job pool.
It's interesting how textbook cognitive dissonance is so starkly visible in your garden variety Repub...
It's like their memories are completely unable to go any further back than Jan 1 2008... They can't remember, or refuse to remember, what it was like 2000-2008, so they fill the memory void with fantasies about how great things were during the Bush years...
@mrfalafl You spew ludicrous lies , You clearly haven't a clue, To stupid to figure out Obama is a failure, Join in your fellow Demotwits blaming Bush .You actually think I would list 3.4% unemployment under Bush. if it wasn't true and easy to check. You think it's a good thing unemployment is over 10% which just so happened to clime as soon as democrat's took control of congress and pathetically blame Bush. You question me calling you a Moron . How about Liberal Moron. Is that better?
@tristanmayfield Ok your information and explanation fall short! Lets start with Bush and the Republicans inherited ZERO deficit and a surplus from President Clinton...what happened? This is true but you left out the part about Clinton leaving the country in a Recession! <Fact There is not enough room here to explain so I would ask you to go to my play list and watch THE TRUTH videos there you will see indisputable evidence of how the democrats are responsible
We just got the car out of the ditch, now you want the keys back? NO! you can't drive! Let me be clear! I'm going to pack this car with explosives, drive it on the highway to hell, then off a cliff, so you will never be able to drive it ever again!
The Republicans can't do anything right, it took them years to get us into this mess, I quardrupled the deficit in just a few months! Praise be to me! I can do anything I want, I am all powerful, I am the one!
@1ThinkingMachine Iraq war. That's a fact. A stupid, expensive, meaningless and unnecessary war that swelled the ranks and coffers of Al Qaeda more than they could ever dream possible.
@zerozipnada Go back to grade school and start all over.This time pay attention. If I could pick someone who would actually be worse then Obama <(No easy task) Anthony the Moron Weiner would be in the top five . People like you are the reason we got stuck with the most corrupt and incompetent administration EVER!
@Michthemitch Stupid people think the republicans are a disaster for the country Smart people know better ! You are seeing first hand what happens to the country with Liberals in charge.It hasn't been this bad since the depression and getting worse . One statistic that stands out is unemployment .The last time republicans had control it was at 3.4% It climbed to 10% after Democrats took control of congress. Blaming Republicans for this mess is shear proof of democrat stupidity!!!<<<FACT!
@METALMAN4Wii Bush 3.4% Obama 10%and climbing! Oboma has out spent all past presidents combined. Facts and very easy to prove.Your Liberal lies against my Facts who is going to win this argument? You know you cant win with lies so you pathetically toss in the race card.Yep you are on your way to achieving moron status!
@1ThinkingMachine Oh and Republicans never lie ? 90% of what they spew out there racist mouths are lies. oh and btw im Democratic not Liberal now go run off to your Teabager Party.....!
@METALMAN4Wii OK Moron .I didn't say republicans don't lie .I'm sure sometimes they do. But Democrats very rarely tell the truth . Why? Because it makes them look bad. So they lie and try to pin it on republicans. If that fails (which is always ) they toss in the race card. Just like you did. Now change your shorts put down the Wii and get a education or stay stupid and tell people you are a Democratic << classic That way they will know you aren't very bright and wont pick on your dumb Ass!
@1ThinkingMachine You just said here that unemployment was 3.4% when Bush left office, which proves what I said earlier that you guys have absolutely no memory of anything that happened before Jan 1st 2008.
He says the Republicans drove car into the ditch... well the Democrats are driving the car over a CLIFF.. I can get a car out of a ditch.. but when you drive it over a cliff.. the car canot be fixed.
SO while Obama, Pelosi and Reid are re- enacting the final scene on "Thelma and Louise" November I and millions of other Americans will be getting a tow truck to get the car out of the ditch. Hopefully it isnt tooo late.
While Obama is a great salesman and communicator and is genuinely trying to help the country, his policies are digging more ditches for our country. He is not solving the structural problems of America and is simply trying to apply more bandaids until he can get re-elected.
Obama has said that America has to get use to the fact that it is not the super power it once was and will never be that super power again. Can you imagine an NFL coach telling the country that the Steelers will never be a great team again. How long would he keep his job.....
Obama still sucks. After you move out of your mother's house and start paying your own way, you might just realize that Obama is a socialist. He may even be a communist. If you can truly look at what liberal judges have done in Arizona and California and think that that is the way things should work in America, then it is you that have your head up your ass. The peoples vote is suppose to be the most important thing in America. These single judges have thrown out millions of votes.
Obama SUCKS!!!!!!! He promised a transparent government, yet he passed the bail out bill and the health care bill at night and on the week end. He just appointed what the medicare head when congress was in home for the week end. I think he is doing everything he can to ruin this great country....
@mysecaddiction Who cares when they passed the bills. They have been discussing it on C-span in hearings for months. Come on man! He appointed the medicare head because Congress isn't doing diddly squat and he needs to fill positions. He still has 170 appointments that they are holding up and he has been in office 20 months. Should he wait until his term is up for Congress to vote these people in? 20 months in and we still don't have key positions filled in Homeland Security? WTF!
@mysecaddiction Ruin?Maybe, just maybe, you could have said something like that when Clinton was the president and we had a budget surplus, but said he is trying to RUIN the "Great" country. Please stop fucking kidding yourself and try to get some other news source other than Fox. In 8 short year Republican leadership turned the Great US in to a joke of the world, and now that they are finally out they are trying to stop anything that will actually help US. So please stfu and go inform yourself.
You all are the problem. You need to stop watching FOX. It destroys your ability to think. Almost everything on that "news" network is either lies or bat crap crazy talk. They are telling you to blame the wars and deficits and the worst recession since the 40s all on Obama. They started that crap on Fox before he was even in office. So the repubs are blocking EVERY single damn thing that goes to the Senate and then saying Obama can't do anything. I wonder why? DUH! What losers.
we've got a leader... he's preferable to the last 8 years where we destroyed our economy, were defeated in war and did nothing about the assault on our borders..... now something is possible....
@Pkr This kind of thinking is not only ludicrous but the reason we have the most incompetent and corrupt President in the history of the United States.Democrat Leaders have done more damage to the USA then all the Terrorist combined .A Leader that never sides with his country . That's not a leader Bush was a real President ! Obama is a real disaster.
It's funny. When Bush took office, we were in a Clinton recession. Bush never blamed Clinton though. Instead, he took care of the problem quickly. Whether you liked his tax cuts or not, that's what fixed it. And what's Obama done? He can't take responsibility for shit. What a wonderful president we have. Nothing is his fault. Oh no. It's always everyone elses fault. Obama GROW UP!
@TwinSmoke I think you mean billions, not trillions. Bush had a surplus of millions when he came into office. Obama had a deficit of 1.5 trillion when he came into office... after 8 years of republican policies and spending... think about it.
@Pkr No, I mean trillions. The tally was at 3.6 trillion that Obama spent in a single year. That was before his 2.6 trillion dollar health care bill was passed. And yeah, Clinton made a surplus. But where did he get the money? It's not even about his taxes. It's all about him cutting the funding on our military so badly that when the USS Cole was bombed, that ship did not even have bullets for the guns mounted on the foward part of the ship. I was in the Navy, trust me.
@TwinSmoke LOL... you're a silly person. The health bill starts, really, in 2014! Bullets would not have helped the Cole... just better security and better naval watch.
Your figures are so skewed that they are laughable....
@Pkr I am a silly person. And that's your BEST response? ROFL. Who's laughable? I REALLY think you need to watch this video and educate yourself slightly on what exactly happens in 2014. But the bigger question is WHY this has to wait until 2014 for most of this idiotic bills policies to go into effect? Is it because Obama KNOWS that he's a loser and won't be there then? Seriously. Why not make all the bills bullshit effective now? Obama is a bitch that has to FORCE through a bill. He sucks.
@TwinSmoke Maybe you just don't understand American politics... Obama is doing well and we''re making progress. I'm not sure what happens in 2014 but in 2012 he'll be re-elected by Americans who care for their country and their people. Not republicans.... who look for profit and wealth...
@Pkr Do you really believe that nonsense you're saying? If we're making progress, then don't just say that, prove it. Show us a single thing that Obama has made progress on. And you can live in your fantasy land, but the fact is that the majority of American's disagree with this president's decisions. In 2010, Republicans will be voted into office at a record level. In 2012 Obama will not be the president anymore. Just look at the polls. Or continue to live in your fantasy land.
@Pkr And by the way. He passed this bill WITHOUT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTE YOU MORON! The American people KNOW what this bill is and that's way they've been against it. You may be able to argue with congress, but you CANNOT argue with the American people that voted you into office. Democrats have been voted out of office since time began for stupid decisions. And this is no different. Say what you will, but it means absolutely nothing. Watch in November as Republicans take control of everything.
@candiceevans1 That 28 trillion figure is just ridiculous, if you're going to give a high figure that isn't true just to whip stupid people into a rage you're definitely a Republican.
@Hakudohshi The 28 trillion dollar figure is NOT ridiculous. Do your research. If Obama passes everything he wants passed, it will be near 100 trillion dollars by the end of his only term in office. 8 trillion dollars of just handouts, 2.6 trillion dollars for the health care bill. Even before the health care bill was passed, Obama had already spent more than ALL OF OUR EX-PRESIDENTS COMBINED!Are you so ignorant you can't add 2 + 2?
@candiceevans1 Deregulation facilitated junk loans that literally never existed before the Bush administration. Teaser rates, ARMs, credit default swaps, and securitization of AAA rated bonds with SUBPRIME loans were illegal under every president until Bush pulled the rule. Not to mention record high inflation that lead to record high gas prices. A multi trillion dollar war in Iraq that's cost countless American and Iraqi lives.. But according to you, its Obama who's fucking this country over.
@candiceevans1 Wait, wait, wait.... Give me your sources. Where are you getting 28 trillion? What policy allowed him to do this? Are you talking about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009? Because he only gave out about 900 billion, distributing it to all 50 states based on population. RECOVERY(dot)GOV.. Where in the hell did you get 28 trillion? Fox News? Yeah, lets forget about everything Bush did from deregulation to war in Iraq, and blame Obama for not cleaning up his mess.
"NO! You can't drive." LOL, Obama is great. The GOP has no real argument against him. They call him a big spender but they don't realize that he investing in the American economy via the Recover and Reinvestment Act of 09. The GOP won't look at the facts, 2 million jobs created in a year. That's two million more tax payers. The economy is slowly recovering and the Republicans hate it. They want this counry to fail so they can say "I told you so."
Funny how the Republicans hand Obama the worst economy since 1929, then expect him to turn it into gold over night. By day three of Obama's presidency, they were already bitching on Fox News. Actually, they were blaming Obama before he even swore into office. I'm not a Democrat, or Republican. I usually lean more towards the conservative side but the last decade they've been a joke. The Republican party is dying out.
LOL If the GOP wants to win over the young crowd, they should probably consider getting a few one liners as awesome and TRUE as this one.

@QuartuvLarry Really??? Lets look back into history shall we? Look up Hoovervilles and how they came about and hopefully you can see right off the bat who they named it after and why.

knowledge198405 1 year ago
@knowledge198405 The economy is a lot like the Boethian Wheel. It rolls you into the mud before lifting you to the light. There was no Great Depression before the one that started in 1929. The one that occured lasted as long as it did because FDR putzed around with an economic cycle that would've healed itself MUCH more quickly, like the short-lived recessions that happened beforehand.
QuartuvLarry 1 year ago
@QuartuvLarry I know some of the policies of FDR are questionable but doing nothing is far worse, again my example are Hoovervilles. Also, Adam Smith's philosophy says capitalism will not work if man becomes corrupt. And that's what clearly happened now and your remark on the Boethian Wheel is not true. People who are rich stay rich and there would be no mud if it was steered correctly.
knowledge198405 1 year ago
@knowledge198405 No, gov't doing nothing would be far better. Of course, there would be considerable pain, but it would hurt in a much shorter time without government interference. Besides, Adam Smith's philosophy only comes into play when government merges with corporate, and, of course, bails out bad behavior with idiotic tax payer-funded economic stimuli. Without stimulus, bad companies fail, good companies likely recover or ascend. Going to localized currency would also improve things.
QuartuvLarry 1 year ago
@QuartuvLarry Adam Smiths philosophy is not when government mergers with corporation but he speaks of humans weaknesses. And when government doesn't do anything people or shall i say the working class becomes homeless. The economy is fallible or what makes it not need government interference when in the past has shown it do egregious things? And going back to your Boethian Wheel idea, if it continues to falter is it not stupid to continue let it be?
knowledge198405 1 year ago
@knowledge198405 I wouldn't say the economy is so infallible that it doesn't need government interference (Glass-Steagall Act was a GOOD thing) but I AM saying that government is too fallible to interfere such as it does. I mean, by what logic can you presume that a non-manipulated economy remains devastated in perpetuity when the nature of man is constantly in motion? Economy is, after all, a man-made thing, which means it won't remain static.

@QuartuvLarry by what logic may presume this....other than Hoover presidency, i'll go more recent, the Asian financial crisis of the 90's.

As for Hoover, he raised taxes. And even then, the use of credit was far greater than the system could handle.
QuartuvLarry 1 year ago
@QuartuvLarry haha yes Hoover did tax the rich! They originally had high taxes and it was either Hoover which I think it was or the president right before him that cut taxes drastically right before the depression. So because Hoover liked a balance budget he raised them back to almost where they were before the depression for the rich, who have the most disposable income.
And back to japan, yes once they killed the stimulus plans the country went back into a recession.

@knowledge198405 Of course, if you kill a stimulus, a country will feel some hurt CAUSED BY THAT STIMULUS, but it would have righted itself, given time.

It's like their memories are completely unable to go any further back than Jan 1 2008... They can't remember, or refuse to remember, what it was like 2000-2008, so they fill the memory void with fantasies about how great things were during the Bush years...

You think it's a good thing unemployment is over 10% which just so happened to clime as soon as democrat's took control of congress and pathetically blame Bush. You question me calling you a Moron .

While Obama is a great salesman and communicator and is genuinely trying to help the country, his policies are digging more ditches for our country. He is not solving the structural problems of America and is simply trying to apply more bandaids until he can get re-elected.

Obama still sucks. After you move out of your mother's house and start paying your own way, you might just realize that Obama is a socialist. He may even be a communist. If you can truly look at what liberal judges have done in Arizona and California and think that that is the way things should work in America, then it is you that have your head up your ass. The peoples vote is suppose to be the most important thing in America. These single judges have thrown out millions of votes.

mysecaddiction 1 year ago
@mysecaddiction Who cares when they passed the bills. They have been discussing it on C-span in hearings for months. Come on man! He appointed the medicare head because Congress isn't doing diddly squat and he needs to fill positions. He still has 170 appointments that they are holding up and he has been in office 20 months. Should he wait until his term is up for Congress to vote these people in? 20 months in and we still don't have key positions filled in Homeland Security? WTF!

So the repubs are blocking EVERY single damn thing that goes to the Senate and then saying Obama can't do anything. I wonder why? DUH! What losers.

It's funny. When Bush took office, we were in a Clinton recession. Bush never blamed Clinton though. Instead, he took care of the problem quickly. Whether you liked his tax cuts or not, that's what fixed it. And what's Obama done? He can't take responsibility for shit. What a wonderful president we have. Nothing is his fault. Oh no. It's always everyone elses fault. Obama GROW UP!
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke I think you mean billions, not trillions. Bush had a surplus of millions when he came into office. Obama had a deficit of 1.5 trillion when he came into office... after 8 years of republican policies and spending... think about it.
Pkr 1 year ago
@Pkr No, I mean trillions. The tally was at 3.6 trillion that Obama spent in a single year. That was before his 2.6 trillion dollar health care bill was passed. And yeah, Clinton made a surplus. But where did he get the money? It's not even about his taxes. It's all about him cutting the funding on our military so badly that when the USS Cole was bombed, that ship did not even have bullets for the guns mounted on the foward part of the ship. I was in the Navy, trust me.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke LOL... you're a silly person. The health bill starts, really, in 2014! Bullets would not have helped the Cole... just better security and better naval watch.

@Pkr I am a silly person. And that's your BEST response? ROFL. Who's laughable? I REALLY think you need to watch this video and educate yourself slightly on what exactly happens in 2014. But the bigger question is WHY this has to wait until 2014 for most of this idiotic bills policies to go into effect? Is it because Obama KNOWS that he's a loser and won't be there then? Seriously. Why not make all the bills bullshit effective now? Obama is a bitch that has to FORCE through a bill. He sucks.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@TwinSmoke Maybe you just don't understand American politics... Obama is doing well and we''re making progress. I'm not sure what happens in 2014 but in 2012 he'll be re-elected by Americans who care for their country and their people. Not republicans.... who look for profit and wealth...
Pkr 1 year ago
@Pkr Do you really believe that nonsense you're saying? If we're making progress, then don't just say that, prove it. Show us a single thing that Obama has made progress on. And you can live in your fantasy land, but the fact is that the majority of American's disagree with this president's decisions. In 2010, Republicans will be voted into office at a record level. In 2012 Obama will not be the president anymore. Just look at the polls. Or continue to live in your fantasy land.
TwinSmoke 1 year ago
@Pkr And by the way. He passed this bill WITHOUT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTE YOU MORON! The American people KNOW what this bill is and that's way they've been against it. You may be able to argue with congress, but you CANNOT argue with the American people that voted you into office. Democrats have been voted out of office since time began for stupid decisions. And this is no different. Say what you will, but it means absolutely nothing. Watch in November as Republicans take control of everything.

@Hakudohshi The 28 trillion dollar figure is NOT ridiculous. Do your research. If Obama passes everything he wants passed, it will be near 100 trillion dollars by the end of his only term in office. 8 trillion dollars of just handouts, 2.6 trillion dollars for the health care bill. Even before the health care bill was passed, Obama had already spent more than ALL OF OUR EX-PRESIDENTS COMBINED!Are you so ignorant you can't add 2 + 2?

@candiceevans1 Deregulation facilitated junk loans that literally never existed before the Bush administration. Teaser rates, ARMs, credit default swaps, and securitization of AAA rated bonds with SUBPRIME loans were illegal under every president until Bush pulled the rule. Not to mention record high inflation that lead to record high gas prices. A multi trillion dollar war in Iraq that's cost countless American and Iraqi lives.. But according to you, its Obama who's fucking this country over.

@candiceevans1 Wait, wait, wait.... Give me your sources. Where are you getting 28 trillion? What policy allowed him to do this? Are you talking about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009? Because he only gave out about 900 billion, distributing it to all 50 states based on population. RECOVERY(dot)GOV.. Where in the hell did you get 28 trillion? Fox News? Yeah, lets forget about everything Bush did from deregulation to war in Iraq, and blame Obama for not cleaning up his mess.

"NO! You can't drive." LOL, Obama is great. The GOP has no real argument against him. They call him a big spender but they don't realize that he investing in the American economy via the Recover and Reinvestment Act of 09. The GOP won't look at the facts, 2 million jobs created in a year. That's two million more tax payers. The economy is slowly recovering and the Republicans hate it. They want this counry to fail so they can say "I told you so."

Funny how the Republicans hand Obama the worst economy since 1929, then expect him to turn it into gold over night. By day three of Obama's presidency, they were already bitching on Fox News. Actually, they were blaming Obama before he even swore into office. I'm not a Democrat, or Republican. I usually lean more towards the conservative side but the last decade they've been a joke. The Republican party is dying out.
