I don't want to hear it. Anything about it.
I just had to fire myself and close my business. The economy sucks.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a BO supporter. BUT.... How can you blame him for all that is wrong with the economy????? It takes a long time for politicians actions to make an impact on the country. The economy was F'''ed up when he came in. I just don't see him making things any better.
IN MY OPINION, and that ain't worth much, the economy was humming along at a fairly good clip until we endured 18-24 month's of a NEGATIVE AD CAMPAIGN from the Democratic party explaining to the average Joe American how we had a "failing Bush economy" etc (for the sole purpose of winning an election)..... then it really did start failing. :ummm::ummm::ummm:
If it smells like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it should be a duck. Right? That is UNTIL you spend untold billions of dollars convincing people it is really a flippin' skunk. :confused2:
Again, that was JUST MY OPINION.
The economy is Obama's fault?
The American consumer, for years now has :
1.) Bought a house with borrowed money / mortgage for longer than their prime earning lives, all based on the affordability of ONE interest point. In the house they own they have :
2.) Bought furniture and tv's well beyond their means with lines of credit / credit cards in there driveway is their :
3.) Luxury suv bought/ leased on borrowed money.
In 2003 all the way over here in Canada we were discussing how that kind of economy was unsustainable. We knew it was too good to be true and patiently waited the crash. I am not an economist by any means but I realize that for a country to thrive they need some sort of export or product that people want. We have been out-sourcing our manufacturing to china / india and their economies are booming. We produce nothing and import and consume everything. Simply unsustainable.
Well we are sleeping in the bed we have made now. Walmart doesn't care if America crashes and burns - they will just open more stores where the money is. But we keep shopping there. We keep demanding the lowest prices and highest wages for the least amount of work.
Obama isn't to blame.
He has inherited a mess that is beyond ugly. Changing policies isn't going to save the economy is. Hard work, buying domestic, and new ideas/products will help. Sadly people feel they are entitled to jobs that pay well instead of working grunt jobs and working up the ladder.
I'm not knocking anyone in particular - but this "economic mess" has been writing on the wall for years now. This should come as a surprise to no one.
