inb4 they're not pie charts or Forbes and the WSJ aren't liberal media outlets

Looks like there were some bumps but all in all it is booming after a bust.

But hey, Boom and Bust is the American Way. So get over it.
Come on Zero, you know better than those statistics aren't inductive to policy. That's proclaiming that Obama is responsible for when it's sunny outside and it's Bush's Republican's fault when it's raining.

Well, now the burden is on you to prove that they are mutually exclusive. Much like when one proclaims something like "the ACA is a failed policy"; the burden is upon the person making the proclamation to prove it's failure.

Wouldn't be pretty obvious? What policies directly attribute to said job growth or any of the rising indicators in the first two graphs?

The third graph is growth %. But fails to show the amount of spending made by those presidents. When you go from 1.00 to 1.10, the growth is 10%, but when you go from 1.10 to 1.20, that growth is only ~9%, ever heard of diminishing returns?



Notice how total spending attributed to Bush's last 4 years is $11.945 trillion, but the total spending on Obama's first 4 years is $14.515 trillion? That's much different than what your third graph portrayed. I'm sure you will exclude my chart because it doesn't fit your agenda.

Edit: Fixed numbers a bit, I used the wrong amounts.

Whole lot attacking from the left side of the forum yet again while having absolutely nothing to back up their arguments yet again. It must be nice to be able to say anything you want without having to back it up and still act like you're the non-delusional ones.

Both your and Zero's graphs say the same thing, you are just reading them incorrectly, as usual. I don't understand why conservatives have such a hard time with this, but 2009 is Bush's year. Just like 2001 is Clinton's year, 1993 is H.W's year, 1989 is Reagan's year. This is permanent, its always going to be true, 50 years from now, 2009 will be listed under Bush, and Obama will be listed 2010-2017. Zero's graph clearly states that, but you just ignore it because it fits your agenda (wow I feel like KN now saying that). Your graph only lists Obama's first 3 budgets, so yes, you did use the wrong amounts, and post edit, you are still stating incorrect numbers.

But yes, the economy grew a whopping 5 percent in the 3rd quarter, unemployment is the lowest its been in a decade, production is way up, costs are down, the deficit has been reduced by almost 70 percent, but keep denying the boom.

Well into obamas term In February 2010, there were about 138,641,000 employed people in the United States. This is according to the Employment Situation Summary published by the U.S. Department of Labor on March 5, 2010. There were 140,347,000 jobs in the US in December 2014..

Yup, unemployment is taken care of. . . . . .

Since the GDP was down -2.1% the first quarter, 5% for the third quarter isn't even close to booming or even that impressive... Nice try.. ..

The nations Debt is eighteen trillion one hundred billion.. but the deficit is supposedly reduced by 70%.. /laugh

Production is way up? I am unfamiliar with the measurement "way up" Could you give some more info on this because it seems you are currently living in a wonderland where numbers do not make sense.

Supposed 70% reduction and that baby is still ticking pretty damn fast huh.

I'm not denying a possible better economy due to cheaper gas, but a boom... not even close.

So 2 million new jobs, an aggressive push towards the promotion of fracking by the EPA with a mandate from the Obama Administration leading to a decrease in gas prices. Stock markets at a high, housing prices climbing and in your eyes things aren't booming.

Wow, that entire post is nonsense, well done altima. Unemployment remains the lowest its been in a decade, the economy grew a whopping 5% in the 3rd quarter (do you even know what that means altima? I'm guessing not), the deficit is factually (not "supposedly" its public record, idiot) reduced by almost 70% since 2009, and the US is producing at a high level. But keep trying to play it down, its entertaining.

Less Than 2 million jobs in four yrs, does this really need to be broke down for you to understand how horrible it is?

hahahaha Obama admin leading to a decrease in gas prices, would love to see the evidence for that.

Are you really inept enough to not understand why the stock market is high?

House prices had nowhere else to go but up, so yea prices are climbing.. Amazing!

debt/deficit, the deficit is down, and we'll have to get a surplus before we start paying on the debt.

But no more taxes, or cuts to military, or government officials. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.

Except, I never made the claim he created or had any part of it. All I've done is point out the hypocrisy that while you give no credit of his actions, he suddenly inherits the blame for the same reasons he is denied praise. If the president deserves no credit for any economic upturn (note: This doesn't necessarily mean "boom"), then he neither deserves blame for a recession either.

(we all know what you have been doing, but just to play along)

The recession started before Obama took office.. Wait.. You mean we can blame him for that now? I was just blaming him for doing nothing while the USA claws itself out of the hole he keeps trying to dig deeper.
