Our Present National Woe In One Picture

[Sasquatch]

Not sure when the recession started matters a whole lot.   

Yet Clinton and his policy's were the saviours! 

I am sure you do not see the disconnect. As you said, seriously you can't make it up.

You'd have a good point, but the difference is after the economy emerged out of the 1991 recession, Clinton proposed tax increases to address the deficit and 100% of the GOP in the House was opposed.  But after we emerged from the early 2000s recession, Bush never proposed rolling back the tax cuts, so we added $trillions to the deficit, much of that while revenues were artificially bloated by an immense bubble. 

Clinton, and even Reagan (and RINO H.W.), demonstrated an actual concern about deficits.  You can't point to anything Bush did that demonstrated any break from the Cheney Fiscal Policy Doctrine - Deficits don't matter.

Hey NCV I bet you and the other extreme lefties despise the truth of this graph as much as I despise the decision by the POTUS to kill the Keystone Pipeline from our evil Muslim neighbor to the north Canada.

This coming from a someone who started this thread with an abject LIE about deficit numbers.

SCREAMER,

YOU HAVE ZERO CREDIBILITY.

Well, the graph is factually wrong and years out of date, so I'm not sure that's the best example you can use. 

And it was typically brilliant reasoning by the GOP on the Keystone pipeline.  They've not even identified an alternate route through red state and GOP controlled Nebraska who for some reason doesn't want a bunch of oil going over a water supply that serves a few millions people.  And the GOP demanded a decision before it was possible to GET that route identified, and therefore guaranteed that the initial answer was no.  This was obvious as soon as the accelerated timeline demanded by idiots and blowhards in the GOP was announced, and what every sane person predicted came to pass - the timeline guaranteed an initial rejection.

I suppose the idea was to use it as a campaign issue.  If so, great work GOP.  If the idea was to rush approval, then the GOP failed miserably, as we've come to expect from the freak show called the modern GOP.

If it is wrong it is due to the "Hope and Changer" Socialist in the White House and at CBO fudging the numbers with deception, bureaucratic accounting tricks, and outright propaganda. You know, like they did at the national government funded Solyndra Solar Company that is now bankrupt. As for the Keystone Oil Pipeline project, it should have been given the green light months ago. Instead, in order to keep the extreme left tree huggers in the DemLib fold the "Hope and Changers" killed it by Barry's order. Not only is the Strait of Hormuz about to be chocked off by Iran in a move guaranteed to cause pump prices to explode and further hamper the working class in the USA now we have POTUS Obama obstructing the flow of oil in the Americas hoping we all will buy that death trap fire box Chevy Volt from Government Motors. Anything this Administration has touched has turned to misery and does not prosper. Contemporary DemLib ultra left extremeism that you advocate is a complete failure.

Hey NVC, since we have got you on the thread again and we are talking about the destruction of the working class in he US at the hands of the "Hope and Changers", I have some question for you. It will be interesting to get the extreme left Socialist viewpoint on this one. What were the prices of gasoline and diesel per gallon at the pump in January 2009 and what are they today? Why the HUGE increase? It seems $3.40/gall for gasoline is the new norm for eastern Tennessee. That pump price is killing the working man and woman and further driving up the already astronomical POTUS Obama unemployment numbers.. Any DemLib answers?

PS - perhaps you can find a spelling error in my post above and using DemLib logic declare my questions invalid. Do you want me to go back and misspell something above so you can worm out of a straightforward answer per usual?


Iranian submarines and warships participate in a stepped up
and aggressive naval drill in the Sea of Oman Wednesday. Iran's
navy chief warned that his country can easily close the strategic
Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway
through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.


Welcome to Obamaville where prosperity is
always absent and misery is always present.
