Economic growth in US down to 1.5%

OK so ONE GUY is holding up the US economy?

I thought you had a real answer...

 

what a joke, is this the first time you've heard about the obstructionism i've pointed out?


The Republicans’ Unprecedented Obstructionism by the Numbers

GOP Obstructionism Keeps Economy in a Rut

Mitt Romney responded to the July report by saying that the numbers reflect the failure of Mr. Obama’s policies when, in reality, they reflect the success of the Republican obstructionism.

Try again to the most salient question to your post.
And what was Obama doing in 2005-2009?

 

nothing relevant to this discussion

 

Obama GOT his stimulus bill and GOT his health care bill. The Republicans have sent almost 30 job creating bills to the Senate, how many have the Democrats taken up?

 

OH, he was in Chicago serving as a community organizer? Or was he a full voting member of the Senate and Congress which after 2007 was controlled by HIS party?

 

The answer to "obstructionism" is compromise. A LEADER knows how that is done. b.o. is clueless.

The economy is in the dumps. Unemployment continues high. THE PERSON IN CHARGE IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE. Everything else, EVERYTHING ELSE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is an excuse. We need a leader, not a collector of excuses.

Clinton faced an opposing party Congress and accomplished much.

Reagan faced an opposing party congress and accomplished much more.

obama simply has no ability.

 

Yes, I've heard about the ONE GUY who you think is holding up the entire US economy. Would you care to explain how how this ONE GUY is doing that?

Your first thread leads to a link to your third thread. What was the point of posting the same thing twice? Does that make it double plus true?

Also your first and third links don't mention either how that ONE GUY or Republicans in general are holding up the US economy. What is the point of those links?

Your second link is at least vaguely in the ballpark, in the sense that it has a litany of Obama bills that the GOP opposed, but the GOP lost on these. Obama got pretty much what he wanted for the first two years of his Presidency. The problem is that even though these bills passed, the economy is crappy. So you still didn't answer the initial question, how is the GOP obstructing growth?

 

it's not the same thing and the point is that it refutes what you said about one guy

i could post dozens of articles, videos, etc and you'd still be making ridiculous comments

 

First, no where in your referenced article does it indicate Bill Looman is a member of the GOP??

Second, from a business perspective, not from a political perspective, Looman says he simply cannot risk hiring more workers now.

Lastly...Looman and you and me and everyone else on American soil is entitled to their freedom of expression, and Looman can make any business decisions he wishes because it's his business...

 

he's a gun nut, militia type

it's pure political rhetoric, not economics

i didn't say anything about what he's entitled to

 

What should be the issue here? A US citizen exercising his right to free speech, or that he has been threatened with harm by liberals and liberals have tried to run his trucks off the road.

In LaLaLiberaland, it is his free speech that is the problem, not the lawlessness and violence of liberals. The ends justify the means. The liberal mantra.

 

No where in the article does it say Looman is a gun nut, militia type??

He made a business decision based on risks associated with the federal government policy.

I said it...

 

just admit you don't know anything about him

i've been following his actions and reading about him for months

 

I only know what YOU provided in your reference article...if YOU wanted us to know more about Looman then YOU should have provided additional or different references. Most of us are not mind-readers!

And since when is it an issue to belong to a militia or carry/own guns?

I'm not defending the guy because I don't give a rip but seems you are hell-bent on hating the guy and this is certainly okay from your perspective...

 

yes you are and cut it out, he's a slimeball

if you had read them, you wouldn't be needing to ask this question:

 

I think he ran out on us.

 

The U.S. economy grew at the solid pace of 3.5 percent for the third quarter, helped along by gains in business investment, exports and a big jump in military spending, the Commerce Department says.

The latest GDP number for the July-to-September period was better than economists had expected. It follows a 4.6 percent jump for the April-to-June quarter

Quoting the OP: Thanks Obama!

I know what all you cons are going to post, so I'll do it for you and save you the effort -- since this is good news for the economy it means that Obama fixed the numbers, and he had nothing to do with it, because only when there is negative news does Obama have anything to do with the economy.

 

Yep. I posted that in July 2012, and now on the eve of Halloween, 2014, I would ask you, "Who do you know that has benefited from six years of Obama AND Federal Reserve combine manipulation except for investment bankers, currency traders, and stock market gamblers?

While you're digging through all my old posts, you'll probably notice that I rarely assigned blame to Obama directly for things that happened in the U. S. economy. That's because he has had little to DO with the American economy except to further enlarge an already swollen, bloated Welfare State, and play the part of "Pied Piper" to all the welfare parasites, as well as oblivious, vacant STOOGE for Ben "Helicopter" Bernanke, and now, Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve System!

In fairness to Obama, "W" Bush was every bit the same "deer-in-the-headlights" and STOOGE for the Fed that Obama has been. So, the blame, and/or the credit for the stagnated, insipid situation that most American workers face today belongs squarely with the same Federal Reserve System. Meanwhile, the stock market is overvalued at least 30%, and it'll be interesting to see how long THAT can go on....
"Don't get uppity! You were the Fed's *****-boy before I was....!"

 

Dude, I was just agreeing with what you said in your post. 4.6% and 3.5% real GDP growth. Thanks Obama!

 

Obama policies have killed the US economy.
1.5% growth is pathetic for a recovery.

Every month poverty increases in the US, under Obama.

 

What did he do?

I'll refer to this "expert":

 

That was in 2011 years ago when his stimulus was supposed to have gotten us into a full recession and unemployment recovered, it didn't and it wasn't.

What are YOU thanking him for specifically now?
