Joe full of 'bull' on economy (Biden says stimulus worked--Repubs are skeptical)
NY Post ^ | 5/15/10 | S.A. MILLER

Posted on 07/15/2010 5:46:23 AM PDT by Liz

VP Biden's bullish remarks--that $862B stimulus created or saved some 3.6M jobs--are part of a WH push to convince deeply skeptical voters that the economy is on a comeback.......Repubs question the validity of the numbers.

For 21 months my house is still underwater - not able to get a re-fi.

If God forbid I lost my job, with 14% unemployment in my state I would have to pick up and start over someplace else that has unemployment at only 10%

A new beautiful outdoor shopping center near my home that opened just as the crash was happening is still sitting with a 70% store vacancy rate.

Oh yea, I say the stimulus worked real well.

which stimulus....monetary or fiscal stimulus? Was it the rebate checks in 2008 or the Fed rate cuts to 2% in 2008? Or was it the fiscal stimulus in 2009? Or the Fed rate cuts to zero% in 2009? Or was it TARP?

Republicans better hone their arguments, because Dems are comparing Obama’s first two years to Reagan and are saying “Stay the course”.

But Reagan inherited stagflation of double-digit inlflation and didn’t have the FED lowering to zero. but raising the Fed Funds rate to 19%—and the Prime lending rate was over 20% .......in the early 1980s....

..VP Biden's bullish remarks....

Close. SHBE "bullshit" remarks.

The Administration really loses credibility when they act like the economy is recovering and the stimulus worked. Layoffs are still running at ~450K/month. No one (sane) is viewing that as a recovering economy. Lying about it to our faces is insulting.

Hey Joe, that three-letter word, J-O-B-S, is a big f*cking deal.

Bullish minus a letter aptly describes Biteme’s ersatz optimism.

I read yesterday that 69.9% of the houses in Nevada were underwater. IIRC, Florida is in the 40% range.

During the campaign, one of the RAT mantras was, "If you want to live like a Republican, vote for a RAT!"

Is this what people thought they meant?

Repubs are skeptical???? Everybody's skeptical, particulary those who can't pay their bills.

Has Obama ever paid a bill, rather than shoving one down people's throats?

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of the BS and outright Lies that come out of this Administration.

They spent 2 years blaming Bush for everything. That’s not working anymore now they are running a “feel good” propaganda message campaign.

They're skeptical - that's ALL??? Show your spine and stand up and hold a press conference and tell the TRUTH against these liars - to the cameras for Joe 6-pack to see on his 6pm news outlet.

Well, not only did we get the debts of the ‘recovery plan’, and didn’t get the job growth, but gov worker unions, state government bailouts, and the hacks got INCREASES.

So, in the words of Carl Spackler, “ We have that going for us, which is nice”.

Trucking is waaayy down right now and EVERYTHING moves by trucks.

When trucking future orders pick up...and right now fall/Christmas deliveries are looking Helen Thomas ugly...I’ll start believing the economy is growing.

I’ve been in trucking for 19 years and it has NEVER been worse.

Biden said about 2 months ago that the May-August months would create 500,000 new jobs each month.

Why isn’t anyone hammering the Administration on this — each and every day, every television appearance.
