With virtually any other president in the past three years we would have seen quarters with 5-7% growth. Our economy was functioning fine five years ago. We saw a massive dip in late 2008, and would have a significant recovery had different politicies been enacted. The world economy would be much stronger if it’s largest player were not mired in a lengthy dip in GDP. This is 100% Obama and liberalism’s fault. We shifted to a european model. It was not born since Obamas inauguration, but large swaths of the socialist system have been put in place over that time.
Bush did little to nothing to build a socialist structure. Blaming him is absurd. He kept taxes low, believed in private sector and not centralized planning. His faults lie in not holding spending and not advancing he ball in reducing government. Blaming him for a failed socialist government is silly.
Do you honestly believe we would have had that rate of growth with a President McCain?
