    But I thought it was Bush's fault until 2016?

    CAT is down? Long may the engine that powers Palestinian home destruction be failing. I hope they go out of business and all the decision makers end up on skid row.

    Rather than the multi million dollar homes they will inevitably retire to. :-D

    A man can dream a simple dream, eh.

    Yet there must be demand first, the point you are sprinting away from. Consider yourself schooled.

    No, Bush just created a really big pile of rubble that took a while to dig out from under.

    You just dodged the facts again, why do you keep making statements that are not true?

    And when the 2nd quarter GDP numbers come out at 3%+...a complete retraction, right?

    The 1st quarter is always a dropoff after a MASSIVE 4th quarter , due to a pullback on consumer spending, post-holidays.

    Get ready for the BOOMING 2nd quarter numbers...

    Through 2/3's of Obama's presidency, I only heard how Bush created the mess and the deficit he had that was never truly resolved.. Even after the dismantling of our armed forces...

    How so? The Democrats took back the congress in January of 2007 a full year before recession began with an unemployment rate of 4.5%, solid GDP and a paltry $161B deficit.

    What is not true in my statement

    Supply side helped mitigate the damage of the 2001 recession and get us into a full recovery and in which record tax revenue increases and had a last Republican deficit of just $161B. Then the Democrats took back the Congress a year before the recession of 2008 and utterly failed to pass policies to help mitigate that and their policy to get us into a full recovery was an utter failure.

    And they fought any REAL attempt to reel in Fanny and Freddie, decrying them as RACIST...and , instead, offered a FAKE BILL, that DID NOTHING to stop the GSE's from putting Americans on the hook for $BILLIONS in subprime loans.

    There must be production to provide the funds required for economic demand. Production always precedes consumption. Economic demand requires funding. Where does the funding come from ?? Try answering that question before mindlessly claiming that “there must be demand first“.

    You resemble this remark but can't face the truth.
