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.’

Let x equal whatever you want.

Take the square root and divide by O-bama.

Now, apply the Unicorn Conversion.

Voila, you are rich, amigo. Now enter these United States.

the bottom line is debt vs revenue...as we speak total national debt is $17.8 trillion, 102% of gross domestic product. this translated to a debt of $56,000.00 per capita and $150,000.00 per taxpayer.

Even though it's factually incorrect, it's also a silly comparison. Presidents don't create jobs (okay, maybe thousands of new IRS agents to monitor Obamacare compliance and bureaucrats to enforce new government regulations)... they don't create any private sector jobs, alhough their policies can prevent the creation of new jobs.

The number of jobs created during a presidential term is a function of where economic cycles happen to occur during their terms. Obama walked onto the national political stage as the economy was collapsing -- because of prior government policies. Since he was beginning his term with employment growth deep into the negative, with ongoing corporate bankruptcies, mass firings, layoffs and high unemployment -- Obama's term should demonstrate heretofore unheard of job growth. Try to sell that malarkey to anyone who's not working on Wall Street. Jobs are plentiful today? No.

Ron didn’t leave the ussa $17 trillion in debt EITHER.... he didn’t shirk his duties as president, he didn’t forment race, poverty, divide the nation, make ussa look a clown in the world circus, disrespect and abuse the military and vets, no fast and furious, no irs scandal, didn’t leave innocent american in a mexican jail, didn’t open the borders to illegals and refuse to enforce the law, didn’t support religious terrorists with same religious beliefs, didn’t shred the Constitution, enforced the law as opposed to rule like a king and flaunt the law, with his corrupt AG and corrupt DOJ... obama is a zero who can ever be seriously compared to Ronald Reagan. far as the “economy goers.... what economy... real unemployment is 32%.. the government lies about everything and there is a total lack of trust... obama is a clown....

BS! This administration lies about everything.

Obviously Steve Forbes no longer has any involvement with the magazine that bears his family name.

As a percentage of the population, a percentage of available workforce and a percentage of full time workers this article is a lie or completely ignores real facts, in favore of a number that is below average and other numbers that everyone knows are fictitious.

Did America have double digit unemployment 2hen Barack served his 1st term?

Reagan did.

What policies did Barack implement which resulted in job creation, job growth and a growing economy?

I’d be willing to be fair, like I can be with Clinton but, I can’t think of any policy he implemented. (Clinton policy comes with a huge qualifier and an amphibian’s name before his)

Yep.

I remember selling in the Cushing, Drumright, Oilton, Stillwater, Ponca City and all over Oklahhoma during the 80’s.

I’d have an awesome customer one day then learn they went out of business or committed suicide(which was stupid).

Oil companies and attendant companies were going out of business left and right...

Then again, I live in Silicon Valley and have for 25 years.

Seems companies in this valley go out of business left and right all the time as well.

Must be some cycle to creativity, market acceptance, cost of good, cost of ownership and, and, and...relevancy...

This article was written by a hack and I’m not picking on Barack at all. Even his ardent supporters are getting it and seeing how the Fed pumped up the money supply and hence the stock market.

By any other measure, among the lower 90% of America, the numbers are dull, lagging or on a bubble...
