An improving economy happens by reason of inertia, provided the government isn't usurping the markets' natural tendencies.
For three long years this president has tamped down these natural tendencies through unfettered liberal policy initiatives. Finally, in 2010, the voters put the brakes on. And now we're seeing some improvement. Not surprising.
You're joking. The Rs have done nothing but try to stop Obama at every turn. The reason the recovery has been so tepid is due in no small part to this GOP obstructionism. Why do you think Rs are in such disfavor these days?
But Obama has been a long-term disaster, and temporary improvements in economic conditions are not cause for excitement. We are, and will continue to be, in a tremendous hole due, in essence, to policy put in place by FDR, LBJ, and now Obama.
I will say this much: Had Obama been delivering, for the last three years, the kind of message Clint Eastwood delivered last week, consumer confidence would be in a different place today. That would have made a huge difference.
Funny how Clint, an R, made that commercial..........very funny. |
