The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

Re: The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

And you have the nerve to call me an imbecile? If the US is blessed with "enormous economic growth" then why are you on the brink of a recession?

...and a 100 year war? Remember GWB in 2004 saying something about the job is done or something to that effect. Biggest crock of sh1t i've ever heard.

Rather than whine: if we each donated $10,000 to Uncle Sam then we could pay for the entire Iraq War so far, all 3 trillion or so of it (after inflation). So rather than bitch and moan, why don't you put your money where your mouth is any pony up, bunghole79?

You better hope that the US is not going into a "recession" - when the US sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. What is going on is what economists call the normal "Business Cycle".

GWB proudly proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" and indeed it was, the evil dictator Sodom Hussein was removed from power in Iraq and could no longer threaten the world or his neighbors.

The 100 year war is against world-wide islamic terrorism.

Glory!

Re: The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

The charts prove otherwise, you imbecile. I can remember when that Demoncrat Lyndon Johnson was president and there was the debate over the cost of the Vietnam War and whether we could afford "Guns and Butter". Jesus and GWB has blessed this economy with enormous economic growth so that we can easily afford the 100 year war on Islamic terrorism.

Praise Jesus!

That the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. You're clutching at straws if you think Bush Jr is a great economic leader.

I stopped whining about this a long time ago. Repetitive negative lamentations about a controversial subject is sure to inhibit proper social awareness. There is lots of data to process, and there are sure to be many positives when relating to the Bush economy. I can't even name all the great things Bush has done for me, personally. If it wasn't for the Republicans, the estate death tax threshold would have likely fallen. With Democrats in charge you can be sure that our country would be far worse off, with spiraling taxes and spending and free mortgages for everybody. You can be sure that Bush pas prevented the complete collapse and failure of the US ecoomy.

I'm considered around here to be a bit of an economics expert* and I'm sick and tired of out-of-touch blue-collar types scratching their visible buttcracks and claiming that Bush's economy is the worst ever. Not true! I'm going to show you some economic data that proves that, in every category, the economy has been worse at some particular point of history.

*(I was going to write "economics guru" or "economics wiz" but of course the Bible demands that gurus and wizards be put to death, so I'll settle with "expert".)

Oil prices:




See, it's not the worst ever. A barrel cost a whole dollar more during the 70's oil crisis. So QUIT YOUR WHINING!

Here's National Dept as a percentage of America's total wealth:




See, we were something like 20% more broke after World War 2. And that was just a little skirmish against a bunch of barely-armed amateurs, when compared to the dire threat we face from the near-invincible legions of the Islamofascist empire. So, QUIT YOUR WHINING!

Total debt:



Bush Jr. is NOT the biggest spending president of all time. Notice how the debt was rising much faster under Bush's father, Bush Senior. So, QUIT YOUR WHINING!

Inequality of Wealth:



All of you communists who believe that everyone should be the same, take note: things were more unequal during the Great Depression. At least, they were more unequal than in 1998. So, QUIT YOUR WHINING.

Got that, lazy people? QUIT YOUR WHINING!
