Reply To: Obama Just Doesn't Get It: It's the economy, stupid!

Charlie, thanks for proving my point.

As to the recession (brought upon us due to the housing crash – Clinton-Dodd-Frank trio), I see actual numbers. I won’t wait to see the actual fixed GDP report to know that we’re in a recession, I already see the jobs report. For me a recession is when people can’t find a job. I don’t care about the GDP driven up by more government spending (expenditure). And all this is after the trillions spent to “stimulate” the economy. Charlie, I don’t own a TV either, nor do I listen to talk-radio; however, your spin of the news gives me the things I’d hear on the mainstream media and on Air America. What stimulated the economy after Bill Clinton’s recession if not the tax cuts? What brought us the prosperity for the past two and a half decades if not Reagan’s tax cuts. What did JFK claim as the best stimulation for the economy? What did FDR promote and promise when he ran for president?

And lest I forget, where was the bi-partisan approach all along? Are the Republicans those that ‘obstructed’ the economic growth or a bipartisan group? We had five Senators from the Democratic-caucus voting against President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and their ‘remedy’ to fix the economy and deficit.
