Comments on: Bush denies U.S. economy in recession http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/22/bush-denies-us-economy-in-recession/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Dave http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/22/bush-denies-us-economy-in-recession/#comment-938603 Dave Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:43:00 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=6602#comment-938603 Reflecting back on this IDIOT's tenure, I'm not sure if I can truly lay all blames and failures on him. All idiots will continuously make mistakes as he has, that's a fact. I blame the majority of American people who put him in office. How can over half of American's believe that a IDIOT can provide leadership to a great country, regardless how strong American's believe his principles stand. From his initial run for presidency, his lack of intelligence showed but majority of American's choose to ignore this. It is thanks to all of you who voted for him. It is thanks to all of you that placed this IDIOT as president and all the failures that has arised. The blind following the blind.

During past recessions we have not known we were in one until we were already in an up-swing. Perhaps Bush is hoping by simply stating that we are not in a recession that it will make it so; I believe that is called denial. Are we in a recession? Well, time will tell, but Bush could very well be proven wrong. To say we are not in a recession would mean that there is no possible way it could happen, which obviously isn't the case! The numbers aren't in yet! Perhaps, that should be his new slogan. Now, That is a true statement. Recession or No Recession....The economy is horrible! The price of fuel is really killing our economy, which is it's life-blood. It is highly under-estimated; what affect the price of fuel has on the US economy.

This only proves how far out of touch he is. Un-employment is way up. There are hiring freezes everywhere. People are being laid off in droves. Prices are going sky high on everything. The markets have suffered terribly. Everyone is struggling to make ends meet. Businesses are closing or scaling back. Places that are usually jam packed are empty. People aren't out spending. This "we are not in a recession" comment is brought to us by the same one that after seven years mysteriously can't find bin laden, but we can find anyone else we are looking for, and the same mis-led person who says that NAFTA and sending jobs overseas helps jobs at home.

I live in the real world where I was shocked about how high my grocery bill was last Sunday and then shocked again when I filled my car's gas tank up. There will be no raise for me this year from my employer, and maybe I'll still have my job come 2009, that remains to be seen. Slow down, recession, it all comes down to tough times and tough choices.

Bush, the economy is NOT in recession. His investments in oil are increasing like never before in the history of economic profit in the US! He's making sure of this by putting away as many barrels of oil he can into the national "reserve". Carter had the sense, when he dealt with stagflation and obscene profits by oil companies from blown up oil prices, by releasing, rather than storing, oil reserves and threatening to fine oil companies for "gouging" the public. Prices dropped back down and stayed there! Of course times are different but opposite approaches to what has worked in the past with similar problems are ignorant. Everyone should be asking Bill Clinton how he managed the only multiple years of operation of the federal gov't in the black since the Roaring Twenties, almost 90 years ago! For George W.

Yeah Bush isn't that smart but in his defense us Americans did most of the damage ourselves. It's called Responsibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you can't pay your mortage cause you didn't get a fixed rate and decided to go with the cheaper option. Well that's your fault not Bush's. So you decided to buy that expensive toy instead of paying off your credit card...that's your fault not Bush's!! I lost my job cause my company wanted cheaper labor...well how about we Americans stop buying the Kia, Toyota's and other foreign carsand goods. Start buying american goods and cars...that's our fault not Bush!!! there are american's who don't have health care... well it's not the government's job to make sure you have health care...instead of spending that money on a new pair of shoes or game get some health care... The World hates america...well maybe stop being retarded everytime you go over to France and don't atleast try to speak a little French or you other americans who act like idiots when you go overseas... I'm an American by the way If you are so worried about our world standing then go back to high school.... I stopped caring if someone liked me back when i was 17.. How about us Americans start looking at ourselves and stop blaming others for our problems... It's easy to bash on Bush but 99.9% of you out there couldn't do a better job nore could you handle the job...

I mean, he takes the technical meaning of a recession, (six consecutive months of economic decline), and applies it to the current situation, and when he sees that the U.S. doesn't qualify, he says we're not in a recession. What nerve! It's also solely his fault that I lost my 8 bedroom home after KFC cut my hours back. I had to sell the rims off my H2 to make my car payment last month. I hope I can still keep my 400 inch plasma. I need a bailout from the Dems! Gosh, that Bush is so dumb!

The economy is a circular item. It is circular mainly because every great economy must have a lull point where the circle slows. Without slow downs, and job cuts, high inflation, and all that recessions bring, we cant improve. If any one out there can name an economy that has never had a slow down, or recession I would love to know . . . . . EXACTLY. We are in a recession, and its because of the huge trade deficit and the ridiculous spending of the current regime. Reduce the spending, increase taxes to accomodate for it and lets get this ball moving again. If anyone out there thinks the economy will just start progressing again without tax hikes your all crazy. Just like any round circle, oh wait all circles are round. The economy is a circular item.

Now that is a recession!! How quickly one forgets. Our unemployment at that time was 18 % the highest in the nation...it is now at 6%. Doesn't sound bad now does it!! Could we end up with higher levels of unemployment again..possibly but not now...... We are in an adjustment not a recession!! I bought my first house in 1980's at 14% interest.

His disastrous policies will show even more catastrophic effects in the following years. His disregard for the citizens of this nation and the world will be written in history books; but this the opportunity for unity, the opportunity to leave behind Karl Rove and those who represent the divisions of our past. This election is about "the past -vs- the future"... the future looks better with the only candidate that has inspired us to transform our hopes into realities. You tell me who he is.
