I absolutely blame Obama for the length of this recessionary cycle. “Free” trade is only part of the problem. The 800 billion dollar stimulus bust, the staggering deficits his administration is running, the cap on fossil fuel development, the myth of green jobs as his solution,saddling business with Obamacare,the unfriendly regulatory climate he has created hampering business. None of this existed before he came to office. Welcome to the Obama depression.
I agree. Look back to the great recession and you will note the similarities of government action and destruction. The great recession didn’t end until the 1950s when the Democrats were finally pushed out of office, but their influence and destruction continued later in congress.
