Everythign BUSH did averted some imaginary disaster too, then!
Should change the name to Sky High news.
lol
the only thing that has kept us from slipping into a depression is the oil boom.
Nothing “averted” anything.
We are 17.25 trillion in debt, losing markets to China every day, and we cannot even balance our budget.
Our military budget is maxed out, and we continue to send American jobs to foreign competitors every day.
America needs to bring back US jobs, and stop this nonsense.
Bring back US jobs now.
That is a lie. Stealing/confiscating/borrowing money and taking it OUT OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR destroyed jobs and liberty.
People lost 3/4’s of their IRA’s in the market. It was my life savings.
yep.
Don’t forget the fact that now our national debt interest exceeds our military budget, and given the high demand for financial assistance. It (financial assistance) certainly isn’t inherently bad, but it does tell wonders about how bad the unemployment/underemployment is.
I had the exact sane thought. The libs criticized Bush for the war in Iraq. Bush could say that his actions averted World War III.
The very idea that the trillion dollar platinum coin scheme was even seriously discussed somewhere other than a cartoon is all the proof you need that we’re screwed.
Obongo’s”BULL$H*T”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More like — another shot of government spending heroin stopped the spending-junkie nation from going into a necessary withdrawal and getting healthy.
It may have averted a great depression just as burning Detroit to the ground will end the wild dog problem. There were numerous fixes available and the results of the chosen solution were not immediately catastrophic so in that way you can all it a success.
$787 billion for 1.6 million jobs......what a bargain! Even if you believe their numbers.....
Yeah, the ‘wreckovery’ is going SO well .....
I’m not convinced that our “slightly positive” economic growth isn’t bogus and we’ve been “slightly negative” in this whole “recovery”.
Ask these folks and the ones currently moved from full time with health ins to PT no health ins. Subject to 0’care fines and imprisonment. And if they work 2 PT jobs that total 35 hrs they are considered FULL TIME.

We have been in a recession since Obama took office, and it would have been a depression if not for the oil boom caused by fracking
