No takers?  ;D

Basically, more big govt overreach, telling people and institutions how they can and cannot invest their money, more taxes, more wealth redistribution, etc. Socialism, class warfare, special treatment for cronies and for those who "invest" in shitholes like Detroit and green losers like Solyndra... agrees with putting more small business es out of business and more workers out of jobs with ridiculous minimum wage increases; higher short term cap gains taxes, with short term now being extended to 2 years, and long term being extended to 6 years, etc...

Others know that the economy always improves after a recession, and that government does not control such things as economic cycles. The government can perhaps facilitate a better recovery by not overstepping its bounds, or can perhaps dampen such a recovery a bit via excessive regulations and taxes, etc. This recovery is quite tepid.

Dodd Frank did not need to be thousands of pages. 5-10 pages of common sense regulations keeping banks who hold the money of others from taking too much risk and borrowing too much would have sufficed.

A recession and recovery due to real estate and financial bubbles would have happened from late '07 through early '09 to present regardless of politics and who was in the White House. Just like the late 70's and early 80's (although Carter was a very dangerous idiot who made it worse), just like the dot com boom and bust 15-20 years ago, just like the next one that will probably be inflationary in nature that is being created by zero rates for 7+ years, etc, etc.

Believe it or not, nowhere near everything that happens on a president's watch is to his or her fault OR credit.

Some conspiracy theorists are not very bright.  And some of them are crazy.

Some people are stupid enough to claim the country was in better shape in 2008 than it is today.

Republican frontrunner Trump is a major birther and conspiracy theorist.

I'm upset that you are trashing the likely GOP nominee like this.  Just go wear a Hilary shirt while you're at it.

Go back to swinging from Obama's short and curlies.  It's what you do best.

Obama only won in 2008 and 2012 by a few votes stolen in a single state. 










Shit, bush I meant.  Bush.  Obama did the whole landslide thing, right?   I get them mixed up.
