Economy to grow at 5.4% rate in first quarter, Atlanta Fed tracker shows

With the overwhelming support of the GOP congress.

 

The austerity was solely the work of the GOP, not with their support.

Obama tried over and over to get infrastructure and other programs going to get people back to work, and, after the GOP won the House in 2010, hit a brick wall of obstruction every time.

 

Horse crap, Robert. The GOP had the Congress and the WH. Stop that nonsense.

 

Right wingers don't do economics!

 

obviously if true the liberal would not be so afraid to tell us why. It did not even occur to the liberal that knowing why is necessary. See why say liberalism is based in pure ignorance?? What other conclusion is possible?

 

The silly liberal means except for those who win Nobel Prizes??

 

You’ve been told why. You made a moronic and demonstrabl6 false claim. I correctly pointed out that Obama was not a socialist. He was a slightly right of center corporatist.

 

The pretend conservative would not be so afraid to tell us why not, if did not even occur to the pretend libertarian why it was conservative.

 

Friedman's monetarism? They do failed economics splendidly!

 

yes trying to recover from massive liberal govt disruption of the free market. A recession is the time
it takes an economy to put things back in their free market place. For example, liberals bubbled up the housing market which created bubble jobs. When the bubble burst people had to find new jobs that the free market created.
Socialist bubble jobs are not sustainable. Do you understand?

 

got it, so only libcommies do economics according to you even when socialist economics killed 120 million???

 

You've gone off on one again. Most economists understand what socialism means. Why don't you?

 

monetarism has ruled the world since Friedman's definitive book

 

This is a very ignorant comment. Monetarism was applied in its full stupidity once: Thatcherism in the early 80s. End result? Creation of a recession that made the Great Depression look child like

 

what you are trying to say is that he was an open socialist to the left of Bernie Sanders but in office he was restrained by political considerations and thus pushed left only as far as the opposition and his desire to be reelected would allow. Still confused?

 

You’ve been told why. You made a moronic and demonstrabl6 false claim. I correctly pointed out that Obama was not a socialist. He was a slightly right of center corporatist.

Only as to why you repeat bullshit that has been soundly refuted.

 

James M, have you been talking to that silly who calls himself an economist, Baiamonte. You clearly do not understand economics terminology.

 

monetarism is capitalism with minimal govt tinkering with money supply other than to avoid inflation and deflation.
China just switched to it to instantly eliminate 40% of all the planets poverty. To suggest the libcommie govt of England was a perfect experiment in monetarism is absurd and insane.

 

Republicans controlled the House, the Senate, the WH, and the Administration (and a majority of Supreme Court seats, for that matter) during the entire time the housing bubble blew up to its absurd level and started tanking. And Republicans controlled the WH and Administration thru January 2009, when the economy was in free fall and heading straight for a depression.

But it's the "liberals" fault.

Yes, I understand.

I understand there are no set of facts or scenarios upon which conservative partisan ideologues like you won't blame liberals for the failings of Republican actions (or inactions) and policies.

 

George bush and a republican held congress were liberals? Lol

 

Monetarism is Friedman's legacy. A stupidity that managed to quadruple unemployment and destroy the industrial base. He ain't a Keynes. He's a peddler of snakeoil

 

for 12th time Obama voted to left of Bernie Sanders. Why not think about it and get back to us before you embarrass yourself further?

 

yes monetarism or capitalism is Friedman's legacy. China just used it to eliminate 40% of the entire planets poverty while FDR used Keynesianism to prolong the Depression for 16 years and get 60 million killed in WW2

 

ask all the millions in China who didn't starve to death if it was snake oil!!

 

Did somebody tell you Bush was an economic conservative? See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance?
