Did the Economy Do Better Under Obama or Reagan?
The Equalist, I don't even know how to address your stupidity. Reagan had severe recession AND double digit inflation. These are two opposing economic forces... Obama just got a severe recession... And, as far as debt goes, I hope you are kidding... Reagan added plenty to the debt, but it pales in comparison to the debt Obama has piled up...
Is the Economy ever going to get better?
I believe you guys that are answering this question negatively and stating that we will never get out of the recession need to watch or read the news. First a quick Economics lesson. When the United States is at full employment, the unemployment rate will be 5.5%. The reason is because people are always trying to get better jobs or change their line of work or just take some time off, since the government pays the unemployed so well. The unemployment numbers from Friday stated the USA was at 7.7% unemployment which means there is only 2% of the work force looking for work and can find it. Take a look at all the Malls, strip malls and every store all their parking lots are full. The recession is over. Last year was the best new car sales year of all time. Everybody was so busy blaming everyone that they couldn't see that all the economic indicators is getting very good and positive. I am about as anti-Obama as anyone can get, but I have to say that he and the Congress pulled us out of a recession despite their lack of brain cells.
Clinton manipulated numbers to make the economy APPEAR better during his term, is that why Obama is hiring so.?
many Clinton people? He wants everything to APPEAR fine until it comes crashing down on another President? Greenspan did not let the market go into small corrections during the Clinton years to make the economy appear better than it was. Clinton's staff lied about numbers too. Is this why Obama wants so many of them in HIS administration?
