Why Have Democrats Stopped Bragging About the Obama Economy?

[SpeareChucker]

[tee hee]



It wasn't too long ago that everything good was being attributed to President Obama.

Not only are our posters no longer bragging about it, but neither is the 2020 vision field...


It wasn't too long ago that we were lectured about selling all of our stocks and hunkering down for a total economic collapse bringing on WWIII.
Now, we need to allow illegal economic migration because there are too many jobs (that Americans will not do).

I was taking a whitewater raft cruise in Colorado and our 'expert' guide kept pointing to Tiger Swallowtails and telling us they were Monarchs and lucky at that.

Of course, the whole guide crew was stoned out of its mind and spent most of its time trying to dump riders out of the rafts...

We were supposed to jump from the big orange raft because of trade wars that were, in reality an administration finally standing up to the bullies accosting us for our lunch money. I think those urging us to jump ship were stoned on their own special Kool-Aid™.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I dunno, yanno.


There's two kindsa Kool-Aid.


There's electric swill . . .


and then there's Jim Jones swill . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

This variant is not The Electric Acid Kool-Aid™ Test...

The old nest egg did just fine during the Obama years. The numbers do not lie.

The same old nest egg did not feel the love last year under the current administration.

What changed?

 

[SpeareChucker]

You're an economic moron...


lol

 

[Saint Peter]

And you are a pillar of economic knowledge!

Take those dividends and buy some blocks for the trailer. Spring rains just around the corner.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You're probably one of those people stupidly whining about how you didn't get as big a refund this year...






Those of us who held during the 'correction' are doing just fine.
Those of us who bet on America are doing just fine.

You see, we invest in funds...
You understand?

No...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I dunno, but when that Big Fat Tax Increase refund check hits, there will be more firearms coming to Chez Wat.


As in plural.


With enough left over for a steak dinner with a side of weasel casserole.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I just enjoyed the larger checks...





Why let the government keep your money interest free?

 

[Saint Peter]

My portfolio can kick your portfolio's ass!



It has to be true. Pete is not a MAGA hat wearing douchebag so he cannot be filthy rich like the rest of the MAGA hat wearing douchebags!

 

[SpeareChucker]

Whatever you say little ThrobOutWest.



We always know when someone feels that they are losing an argument when they decide to start virtually measuring penises...



You have even less knowledge of my net worth than you do economics and investing.

 

[Saint Peter]

And what is my net worth?

And who is crying about the foundation crumbling under their shack?

Final Tally: Obama's subpar economy cost Americans $2.4 trillion

Economics: The GDP report for the fourth quarter last year was a fitting end to President Obama's time in office. At a tepid 1.9% growth, it means that the economy once again underperformed everyone's expectations.

As late as June 2016, the Obama administration was forecasting that real GDP would climb 2.2% for the year. Actual growth for 2016 was 1.6%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Just how weak? Compare GDP growth of the 10 previous recoveries to Obama's, which is now 30 quarters long. What you find is that, on average, the real GDP had grown 33.5% over that length of time. Under Obama, total GDP growth has been 17.1%.

In dollar terms, if Obama's recovery had merely been average, the nation's GDP would be $2.4 trillion bigger. That translates into $19,000 in lost income per household.

[SpeareChucker]

Petey, I'm not the one who is penis measuring based on zero information.


That's all on you moron...


And yes, my basement takes on water once every couple of years or so during the monsoon season.
What of it? It's just another personal attack on your part because you cannot knowledgeably speak to the topic at hand.

 

[Saint Peter]

Get real. I have read about your "Pacific Rim Stocks" for over a decade. If you want to revise the history and clip out all of the bullshit I heard from you while I was working with my hands and you were lecturing in the university halls, go for it. Zero information? No. Just zero ownership of it.

Being a democrat has nothing to do with where I invest my cash. However, political party was included in your thread topic because it it ALWAYS included.

So, yeah. Record rainfall in DC this year. Basement is dry as your bone. Could it be related to building codes or lack of them? Possibly.

 

[Adre]

Smart people know that Presidents do not control or dictate business cycles. It’s a little more complicated than that. Truth is we’ve had ten consecutive years of growth and that will end sooner or later no matter who is in the OO.

And just like your mentor, you assume that what was posted in the past is true of the present and then you start making up stuff to fit the narrative in your head about my life...

Peas inna pod, and now Adre's here to help you pile on.

I mean, why address the topic?

All you two want to do is measure financial dicks, of course always assuming yours is bigger before flopping it out as a personal challenge.

Don't you have a spaceship to be welding on before the next comet approaches the sun? You've already proven yourself to be a self-castrator...

 

[Adre]

I addressed the topic with a fact that partisan hacks and other notRepublicans choose to ignore. I’m quite happy with the size of my dick, both literal and financial.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Instead of trying to WWE with me...



Y'all should be reminding us how President Obama's economy produced the weekly winning streak in 24 years. Or how he "saved" us with cash for clunkers.



Or how he introduced a "new normal" of less than 2% growth, because that's all we were capable of.

I mean, there is so much you could do when it comes to bragging on the economy that Secretary Clinton wished to keep in place...

 

[Adre]

Go get some fresh air or something.

Save money with a steady diet of ramen noodles, invest the savings, then sit back

and watch your portfolio take off. LMAO!

Everybody does it their own way. Ramen? Possibly. Skipping the new car every three years, buying the fixer upper instead of renting the mansion, cash instead of credit, and walking past the Starbucks everyday is a start.

 

[Adre]

Or one could ask:

Why have Republicans and faux libertarians stopped moaning about deficit spending?
