What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

Let me refresh your memory. The Republicans weren't doing so hot when it came to spending. The Democrats promised they were fiscal hawks.
Only God knows why the voters believed them.

According to your buddy RightField, The Republicans were running the best ship we ever had. Everyone had jobs, money was flowing like water, people had tons of credit and were happy and spending and buying so much stuff. There was no healthcare reform, no huge deficit, no economic crash, no bailout of the financial and auto sector. No gloom and doom, the future was looking bright. The rich got richer, the poor and middle class stayed right where they were and didn't complain. Everything was perfect.

What happened? What did the Republicans do to make people not see or forget how good they had it under their auspices? Why didn't the good times continue if everything was in perfect equilibrium thanks to the Republicans?

If things were perfect, they should still be in power, doing what was "right." It just doesn't make sense.

What did the dems do in 2010 to fuck up and lose total control of the government?
 
You're the one that's STILL dodging the question though right? How much longer will you frantically try to change the subject?

What question asshat, I just laugh at you and LJ, you seem to think the repubs were always in control and dodge the fact that they weren't.
 
Unfortunately the number of jobs created under Bush failed to even keep up with the population increase during that time. And the average pay of jobs decreased. And benefits decreased.

Unemployment was 5% under Bush.

What is it now?

Tell us how many jobs Obama has added....other than the 224,000 he added to the federal trough.
 
Dems were in charge for the last two years of the Bush era, and have spent the last year or so doing everything they can to stop Republican efforts to improve the economy.

They don't like to hear that or the fact they got voted out of power in 2010.

So instead of blowing OMG CHANGE THE SUBJECT smoke, it's OMG I FORGET WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT smoke.

Love it.
 
Something's not making sense.

If life was so perfect for everybody in America while the Republicans had total control, nobody would have seen fit to vote Democrats back in office to fuck things up, right?

What happened with that? Why did people stop believing in Republicans back when things were going so swell for everyone?


It was "hope and change", it was a "fundamental transformation"

Get with the program Zumi.............:)
 
Yes because 6-8 years of Republican policy had absolutely nothing to do with the economic collapse that followed. There's no way that most of a decade of right wing rule could have ever influenced anything.

Ever hear of the dastardly republican... Barney Frank.

Ever heard of sub prime mortgages.

Talking about changing the subject...........

Mercury, tell us how much you hate Sarah Palin.
 
It's classic how the right here only listen to and read right wing blogs for their info instead of talking to people who actually work and create jobs.

No! Not that shit!

I'm talking about that Democratic Congress the American people voted in the last decade that fucked up everything! Everything was perfect up until then! We had low unemployment everyone had jobs and rich people got richer and people kept spending money on shit because they were happy!

Why didn't the American people keep the same people in that made things so good in the 2000's? What did the Republicans do to make people forget literally overnight on voting day about all the good things that was going on then because of them? If everything was going well under their absolute leadership, nobody should've voted for anything different, right?

It just doesn't make sense, I tell you!

What did Bush and minority Republicans do to help the economy while the dems were in control?

Corporate bailouts!
But as we all know from listening to your right wing media and the Republicans in office, no Republicans were involved in the bailouts, right?

Except John Boehner and the vast majority of Repubs in both the House and Senate voted for the bailouts. They just pretend now like they didn't. Even though they worked and saved the financial sector and the larger economy from total collapse, in all their base-pandering dumbshittery they pretend like it never happened.

So since Republicans aren't taking any credit for that, preferring to lie about their own record, let's not mention it. What else did the Repubs do in the last 2 Bush years to help the economy?

;) ;)

The nonstop pounding of the Liberal press had a lot to do with it.

Now we know why people pay more attention to Sarah Palin than Katie Couric...
