The economy is doing FINE by historical standards! -
03-06-2008, 06:02 PM
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!
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
Got Questions? See Frequently Asked Questions, or use Forum Search, tag system, or our guides on Geography, History, Science, Comparative Religion, Civics, and Current Events.

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.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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?

US household wealth declines
By (gibberish cow-worshiper "name" deleted) in Washington
American households are getting poorer for the first time in more than five years, Federal Reserve figures revealed on Thursday.
Data showed total household wealth fell $533bn to $57,718bn in the fourth quarter, as falling share prices added to the damage from dropping house prices.

Crimea River isn't just a body of water in commieland. That's still a heck of a lot of money; in fact, just consider how many more countries we could liberate with all of that money. Besides, I'm sure that some of it is in the hands of homosexuals, which of course means that they are getting a special privilege.

In other words, for the last four years, American households have been getting richer! Praise Jesus.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Jeb. Your total debt chart is utterly worthless as it doesn't account for inflation. A million in debt for Truman is much more difficult to repay and purchased a lot more than a million for Clinton. You can almost compare presidents to their immediate neighbors but even then you're likely looking at a 15-30% difference in prices between the start of a president's first term and the end of his second.
I'll have to congratulate you on managing to find that GW Bush's economic situation is better than the Great Depression and the Oil Embargo if you look at one particular measure. Thats like saying WWII was better for Europe than the Bubonic Plague; it still doesn't mean that either of them were good.
Anyway, onto economic analysis, I predict a 99.99% chance that the Republicans will continue whining about the Democrats raising taxes until they are back in the White House and Congress and then the Democrats will start whining about the Republicans raising the debt. Does that seem to be a fair prediction from your economic experience Jeb?
If I meet your God or his representative after my death I'll gladly admit I was incorrect in my belief of his nonexistence. I'll also admit to him that I do not and will not regret my belief because it was based on the best information available to me.

The economy in this country has never been better. I have increased my profits by cutting all those pricey American jobs-- most of them held by lazy idiot minorities-- and buying more Asian children to work in my factories. The productivity is a little bit lower, but believe it or not you can make up the cost of the low productivity by cutting out one meal per day and making them work longer.
Those who complain about the economy don't know how it works. They're so ignorant that they probably haven't even taken their tax deductions for shipping jobs overseas!

The 20 trillion dollars is just China thank us for not destroying their Godless country.
Anyway the only way China could destroy America would be to attempt to sell their treasury bonds which would also destroy their economy.

Jonesy, if you'd stay out of those queer negro bars you might better understand how things work.
China gives us money. We blow it. Bad investment. Boo-hoo.

Like it or not China rules the world.
China recalls all loans America owes and stops trade with America.
American economy crashes and it loses its place as a world power for at least 100 years.
China continues trade with Europe and Asia and Africa.

Stuff and nonsense. They said the same thing about Japan 25 years ago.
Jesus will simply not allow it to happen.

I heard this before about the Saudis in the '70s and the Japanese in the '80s. If they did that the Chine commit economic suicide. Europe is also equally heavily invested in the US and would be screwed so who would the Chines trade with? Africa?
As Pastor Zeke explained Jesus loves all investors deeply and would never let such an awful thing happen.

While America's massive debt to China might be fodder for doomsayers and pansy-pants hand-wringing LIEberal pessimists, I will remind everyone that the graph of American debt to China has a natural arc. It goes way up, reaches a very high level, and then comes down to ground zero-- similar to the arc of the LGM-118A Peacekeeper Intercontinental Ballistic Missle carrying up to 10 re-entry vehicles, each armed with a 300-kiloton W87 warhead/MK-21 RVs.
