Of course its the worse recovery in 70 years, when you do the same things FDR and hover did you get the same results.
Precisely - and the worst thing is to allow FDR to blame Hoover for the failure of FDR’s own policies.Obama “inherited” - actually, he asked for and was given a mandate to fix - a real mess. As he said at the start of his term, he was expected to fix it before the 2012 election. Well, It’s 2012, and here we are in the same mess we were in in 2008 when we elected him, only with much worse threat to our long term prospects. And when I say “long term,” I do NOT want to be understood as meaning, “in the sweet bye and bye.” The “long run” actually arrives PDQ. The part about “the long run” that really stinks is its duration.
