The numbers are in and after seven years of Obamanomics the economic climate in America is “worse than the depression.”

He’s making us into a nation full of lazy beggars and gibmedats.
There was a UK article a few weeks back stating that more men in their 20s - 40s are going to the gym now than ever before (caption the selfie with the ab-obsessed fruitcake).
That trend is not good for the economic outlook according to the article since men are using the gym as a way to feel achievement since they cannot get it through work.
“Obama is purposely and systematically destroying the American economy.”
He couldn’t have done it without the express, rubber stamp consent of the Republican controlled Congress. The Congress even had the Constitutional authority to reign in these activist judges, but nothing doing there either.
That’s because there is less downside for men who are not successful anymore. What would an unemployed man do all day 30 years ago? Who would he hang out with? What women would want to date him? Now you can play xbox, hang out with other guys like you and the hookup culture gives you access to women.
This is why I continually reference our situation right now as a depression or at the very least, a severe recession.
This economy is stuck on stupid, our people are out of work, our tax revenues can’t support Social Security and or Medicare, and it’s getting worse, not better.
With jobs come tax revenues, a reduction of the national debt, the enlargement of the middle class. The renewal of the inner cities.
Bush was terrible, and Obama has been terrible. It’s time to put someone in charge that has either held a private sector job his dad didn’t gift to him, or at least has proven his worth over the decades.
Being a CEO of the Texas Rangers, while others made all the important day to day decisions, doesn’t exactly qualify one for the Oval office.
Trump is going to make changes that wouldn’t even occur to Hillary. For that matter, they wouldn’t occur to most people who might be thought of in line to the presidency.
We’ll have a real CEO for a change. Looking forward to it.
Trump knows how to delegate. He’ll get ten times as much done as most presidents. He’s dealt with multi level international management teams for decades.
Not much is going to change for him. For us, everything is about to. It’s about damned time too!
Flooding a labor market with millions of fraudulently documented foreigners will have that effect.
You can't blame de industrialization on the Democrats because they are just a symptom and not the disease.
1 in 6 Working Age Males Has No Job Under Obama, which is why decent Americans despised Obama.
1 in 6 Working Age Males Has No Job Under Obama, which is why Hillary’s parasitic voters loved Obama.
Jobs have certainly not been His priority.
They could do what I did during a prolonged period of unemployment in a tough job market, set up an eBay shop and gradually expand it. Its not incredibly hard, just requires common sense and a willingness to go without in order to focus on re-investing capital back into the business until you increase its scale.

Ain't free trade great?
Seems to me “the Depression” was known for the years I was growing up as “The Great Depression”. NOT because it was great, but because it was the most depressive of depressions, the most horrible, and longest depression ever in history totally sustained by the Democrats upside down economics, and now we are to understand today is worse than “the depression”.
To me that means Obamanomics is worse than “The Great Depression”.
Exactly.
A lot of Freepers actually believe the Great Depression was caused by an obscure trade bill signed a year AFTER the crash, the Smoot-Hawley Act. A lot of Freepers are historically ignorant.
Speculative stock market bubble, bubble burst, too many buying on margin, debts could not be repaid, banks failed with no safety net, wiping out a lot of people. Money became scarce, causing prices to fall because few could buy. Businesses failed due to declining sales. Rinse and repeat a few years later. The US economy was not export based at the time, nor was it heavily dependent upon imports. Smoot-Hawley may or may not have been ill-advised, but it did not cause the Great Depression.
How is “working age” defined? If it is from 16 to 65, you’re going to pick up a lot of students and retirees.
Has the definition changed since the depression that they are comparing to?
“How is “working age” defined? If it is from 16 to 65, you’re going to pick up a lot of students and retirees.”
Prime working age is 25-54. That is what the article is about.
