    No shock here. Only difference is the near $1 trillion dollars blown by the Obama. When will people realize that the government cannot spend the country into prosperity? It's like taking water from the shallow end of the pool and dumping it into the deep end.

    How many of us here are old enough to remember the Misery Index under the Jimmy Carter admin?

    Yeah, this correlates with the whole neoliberal era as well. A lot of things do.

    And wasn't Reagan in power 28 years ago? I'm sure the drones have some means of dismissing that.

    When you fail at everything you ever try, suicide isn't really an option. Poor K1A. :itsokay:

    Ronald Reagan's two terms as President saw the Misery Index decrease from 19.33 to 9.72.

    Barak Obama's half-a-term has seen it go up from 7.73 to 12.6.

    I'm interested at how our little Kirky boy lays the blame 100% at the door of Obama, but makes no mentioned of the sub-prime lending lunatics the preceded him and fucked things up in the first place.

    Obama's policies have done NOTHING to help the economy recover and quite a lot to keep it down.

    It's nice that Obama's getting "all hands on deck" to work on job creation now, when he's facing an election with a very unhappy electorate. But it would've been better if he'd pursued pro-growth policies instead of the left-wing agenda when he took office back in '09.

    Oh, sure, Hamilton was around, but Lincoln put Hamiltonianism into play.

    That's true. Garamet is way older than that.

    I keep tellin' ya, at the very last scariest minute, he'll open the matrix, and wash away all the trouble with the green glow.

    It has to be at the last minute, or he can't be smug.

    It's how these things work.

    Remember Osama, how he saved that for the Trump smackdown?

    Same thing.

    'be allright, d'worry.

    I don't think he is. This country has been off track for 150 years and Obama kicked it into overdrive.
