Although Obama and the Dems
successfully righted the sinking ship of the US economy after it was torpedoed by Bush and the Pubs, we still aren't growing at the rate many would like. There are four main reasons for this, as I see it.
1. The Bush Recession was the worst since the Big D, that took WWII to get fixed. Not an easy hole to climb out of.
2. The Repubs, who hold a lot of power in Washington, have fought EVERY effort to stimulate the economy (knowing the economy is the #1 indicator of who will win the presidential election), killing job bills, re-education of workers and infrastructure projects, desperately needed, saying 'we can't afford it', while shoveling hundreds of billions to further bloat the largest military in the world (WAY larger than the 9 others combined, in the Top Ten), and screaming 'runaway inflation', as DEflation is more of a problem.
3. The world economy is WEAK, cuz the Bush recession spread around the globe, as MANY nations held the worthless paper, bundled by the Bushies as AAA, which were sold and re-sold, until the music stopped and there were no more chairs.
$. We always knew that when the Baby Boomers matured, the economy would slow, as the consumers/buyers just aren't there.
BUT, these facts don't stop the jerks(R) from screaming that America is in TERRIBLE shape, and we're not growing as fast as they'd like, cuz Obama has 'wrecked' our country, and the low-info, financially challenged sheep swallow the swill, pumped out by Pub candidates and FOXNews, in a desperate effort to return to 'the scene of the crime', after our country barely survived ($860 BILLION in checks from Bush to his Big Money pals), the last Pub disaster.
Bottom line, look at ANY actual indicator of the economy, then compare it to the steaming pile that GW and the Pubs left in 2008, as they were run out of town. Case closed....
