There has been no recovery. We are in a DEPRESSION, and have been since about the time the TARP program was rolled out. Had that atrocity never been introduced, we would have recovered, with absolutely no “help” from the Federal government, by 2010, and been well on our way to the kind of prosperity we enjoyed under Eisenhower and later Reagan.
But NOOOOO. The “experts” who knew so much more than any of the rest of us (and most of what they knew was just dead wrong) got the votes to ram through Congress and into the ever-growing stack of contradictory and self-serving regulation we have come to know and love, with the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut.
> If the President was truly concerned about the economy, he would immediately halt the onslaught of Obamacare and start working on pro-growth policies of tax and budget reform and sensible energy policies such as construction of the Keystone pipeline. Sadly, the President is still committed to pro government, anti-growth positions that exacerbated these problems in the first place.
Bingo to ^ and what you said. This is the beginning of the second Great Depression brought on br The One himself and intentionally I believe.
