Forbes ^ | Sept. 9th 2014 | Adam Hartung

Posted on 09/09/2014 9:34:02 PM PDT by jamndad5

”President Reagan has long been considered the best modern economic President. So we compared his performance dealing with the oil-induced recession of the 1980s with that of President Obama and his performance during this ‘Great Recession.’

Did they poll Compton, Watts, Ferguson and Harlem?

Lamestream liberal lies!

Gas prices were well under a dollar when President Reagan and Conservatism were triumphant. Plus, I was making tons of money with my investments during the solid economy of the 1980s. Now, we have gasoline at nearly four bucks a gallon and an economy in shambles. Corporations are taxed and regulated to death, killing profits and my dividends. The goal of the hussein/holder/jarret trio of evil has been achieved for they have utterly destroyed the American economic powerhouse built by Reagan and restored by Gingrich.

The biggest difference is with Reagan it was American jobs, American growth, and American investing...

How many were no longer looking under Reagan?

The BLS?

So Barack Obama has come out and told these guys he's doing a great job?

There are ***92 MILLION*** people out of work in a nation of only 314 million.

When you throw out kids under working age, retired people and people who are disabled, that percentage becomes a lot scarier.

But the President says it because he has people who are paid to repeat it and talk about how great it is....

This BS was posted earlier on a previous thread. It is absolute nonsense. The real GDP under Obama is 20% of the Reagan boom.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/08/disaster-real-gdp-under-obama-is-20-of-reagan-recovery/

The Forbes author completely ignores the chart he posted that clearly shows the participation rate grew under Reagan and has dropped like a rock under Obama.

I am surprised an esteemed publication like Forbes posted this tripe.

“GMAFB.”

Me too!! One of my Lefty family members posted this on his Facebook page. I didn’t see it posted here, yet. Thought I’d share. Unbelievable revisionist history, here.

Forbes is no longer a useful tool of anything but the left. I posted a comment to the author calling him out as the outright liar that he is and it of course was not allowed to be added to the comment section.

The comment section of that article is a laughable exercise in absurdity. The author will never admit to any statistics that show he is purposefully cherry picking statistics and he continuously states that this has been his career for decades and that basically, no matter what proof you provide to show he is not being honest, he will dodge such proof and basically ignore it and wander off into another tangent that ignores the data presented to him.

It’s sad, but I would no longer “trust” any opinion from Forbes as they have become an apologist cover for this unbelievably incompetent administration.

I don’t care how they are jacking the figures, but there is no way Obama is beating Reagan’s numbers. Reagan had a near full employment by this time in his presidency. We still have 25% of our workforce out of work today.

I’m not sure what drugs this guy is taking, but frankly it angers me to see him lie like this.

Consider the source......FORBES.
What is their business? Stock market!
With Zero interest policy for last several years, stocks are in bubble territory. Because stocks have no competition.
