The Pubs love to bitch, that the US isn't
1. The Bush/Cheney(R) recession was BY FAR the WORST since the Big D, which took a World War to recover from.
2. It wasn't just the US economy that was damaged by Repub debacle. The ENTIRE world was effected, cuz our economy, and financial instruments lead the world.
3. The stock market, retirement accounts, home values and most people's assets lost nearly HALF of their value, under GW and The Dick. Think about it....
4. To keep us from COMPLETELY imploding, GW(R) wrote over $860 BILLION (Ft Knox holds approx $119 billion in gold, to keep it in perspective) in 'payoffs' to his Big Money buddies, which FURTHER increased the gap between the Have's (Big Business, Big Oil, Big Banking, etc,) and the Have Not's, further shrinking the already struggling 'Middle Class.
5. The world economy has not recovered as well as the US, under Obama and the Dems, who have brought us 'back to and past' the pre-Bush Crash levels, and while we are still '#1', we depend upon world trade.
6. In Congress, the Pubs have done EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to prevent and and crush all Dem plans, bills and policies to 'FIX" the mess they caused, knowing that 'It's the Economy, Stupid', is the NUMBER ONE factor in the presidential election, and they want it DOWN, for their boy to win. They continually screamed about 'Runaway Inflation', while Deflation if the main problem. The only thing the Pubs LOVE to spend on is the most bloated military in the history of the world, where their home districts(R) crank out tanks that immediately go into 'surplus storage', while cybercrime and terrorism are the new 'war fronts'.
7. Anyone with working brain cells (FOXSheep excluded), has known for a LONG time, that the economy was gonna slow, quite a bit, as the Baby Boomers retired, left the work force and the tax base faltered, while govt expenses went up. SURPRISE! It's happening.
8 The costs of the 'War Criminals' (BUSH/CHENEY) Iraq War, BASED ON LIES, continues to increase, now into the SEVERAL TRILLIONS, as veteran care reaches critical mass, while the chaos in the the MidEast continues to get worse, after the 'Oops, No WMD's War'(R), unleashed the Hounds of Hell throughout Iraq, Syria, Turkey and the entire region, causing an 'unprecedented' refugee crisis across the area, extending into Europe.
9.We now have Al Queda and ISIS, and the terrorism they sponsor/create all over the world. They 'NEVER EXISTED' before the Bush/Cheney (successful) plan to raise the price of oil (their family business) by more than ten-fold. Surprise, when you attack the 'oil basket of the world', the price of a barrel SKYROCKETS, from approx $12 to over $140. Who da thunk Texas oil and Haliburton's profits would go up over ten-fold? What a SHOCK!
SO, while the Rightwingnuts 'Bitch and Moan' about the Black Guy in the White House isn't 'fixing it fast enough', just remember how we got here, as their pompous buffoon, Donald Trump stirs the pot, with the FOXSheep who don't have a clue.
Just look at 2008 and remember 'how we got here', after Obama and the Dems inherited a 'steaming pile' from the last Repub administration. Who can't see something SO obvious? Oh yeah, the sheep, who claim Hillary, who would be an extension of Obama, would KILL our country.
Never mind............. You can't fix STUPID, esp when it's 'Willful Ignorance'.
