Obama doesn't deserve ALL the credit. Bush had trouble controlling the check book as well.
Bush started it and Obama has snoballed it, big time.
Bush may have started it - obama perfected the art of wasteful spending and encouraging people not to work because someone else will pay for you.
You are delirious. Encouraging people not to work? How is he doing that? Aren't you of the ilk that wanted GM to go out of business? How is that going to help people get a job? You people are so determined to criticize Obama that you make yourselves look like idiots and I'm pretty sure you are.
Increase welfare. Extend jobless benefits. Opening jobs people don't want or are not qualified for. Only selecting certain "groups" to hire and telling others not to bother, and then still not hiring. Making statements that tell people they'll have their morrages paid, cars paid, houses paid, etc.
GM closing would have created more jobs than lost. Another company, rather it be a known or a new company, would have moved in and taken over everything and make it better. Increase in infrastructure, manufacturing, et al creates jobs. Not a stagnant company that makes crap for vehicles across the board.
Total B.S. You are operating on what COULD OR MIGHT have happened. Americans don't give a damn about your theories or what could or might have happened. Propping up GM was the right thing to do even if it wasn't popular. This is much like your coveted IRAQ war that Bush started. I believe you republicans said it was the right thing to do however unpopular. The benefit of the doubt was given to Bush so it is only right to give it to Obama. Of course G.M. is starting to rebound, the Iraq war seeming won't ever be over.
No, that is fact of capitalism. It was already happening until the government propped them up. And now GM is still sucking. They are not on the rebound.
The government propping up a private company is NEVER the right thing to do, especially if they are taking a majority interest in the company and sharing control with unions.
The Iraq War has been dwindling down since before Obama took office.
And don't even think to presume you know what Americans want, because you obviously don't listen to them. Everything this administration has done, more so how they're doing it and what exactly they're doing, the American people are against.
Get your damn facts straight and stop speaking from emotion.
Didn't you learn anything in your economics class? The United States does NOT have a PURE CAPITALIST economy. We never have and never will! There will be government intervention and as long as that intervention helps the peopel and does not intrude on the ability to make your own major decisions in your business, I'm fine with it. You purists need to all leave and go create your Utopia elsewhere.
didn't catch this earlier.
I'm not a Republican or Democrat. They both suck, I don't.
It is NOT the federal governments job to do that. Period. There's no argument, just isn't supposed to be done. And frankly, a lot of those people brought on themselves. A typical liberal thinks it is, but it's not. If you're so open to help your fellow man, open your hone, pocketbook, car, job, et al to them. Republicans typically give to charities and other places that actually work
and do that. Of course, I wouldn't expect a liberal to know that private entities are netter than government entities and should be the ones providing MODT relief.
Obama's job summit recieved criticism from both sides because it wasn't doing anything. You work undercthe assumption Bush scratched the back of Big Oil, but refuse to see the fact that Obama is scratching the back of unions, socialist, and others that HATE America.
Nothing against creating new jobs. This President hasn't done that yet.
Again, get your damn facts straight.
Just as with teatech and whatever incarnations you've been, I think this will be the reply to you from now on on everything:

No shit Sherlock. GM and all those other "too big to fail" places didn't help anyone but themselves- less than 3% of the population! Yet, they got all this money, and many STILL failed. It doesn't matter how you cut it, intervention should not have happened here. And if you're okay with it because "helps the peopel and does not intrude on the ability to make your own major decisions in your business" then you have absolutely no idea what the hell went on.
And capitalist had their utopia. Then you liberals came in and f*cked it all to hell.
Ahhh.
