Hear that Obama and Reid.
This guy is a genius. He must have a PHD in economics. Or he went to his local diner and listened in on what us small folk have been saying.
So, let me get this strait, A federal reserve Bank President, ostensibly a U.S citizen goes over seas and say’s controversial things about the U.S?
He should be resigning withing the day, lets hope.
The death spiral that the US economy is in today is a result of "Democrats and Republicans and the lower and the upper house and a president" all working together.
Since the dumb Fed Pres doesn’t name names or actual policies that are hurting America this is a useless set of comments that will be used by both sides to bludgeon each other. Nothing of substance was offered by the man.
No government does NOT need to “step on the accelerator”
The results would be disastrous — and involve rampant inflation.
The well for cooperation was poisoned by Pelosi, Reid and 0bama early in the first term and ESPECIALLY after 0bamacare was steamrolled into law. Republican plans were vilified and ignored on every front. and somehow, we’re expected to play nice in that snakepit? It never worked out for Charlie Brown when Lucy held the football, did it?
We have always had congressional differences. It is up to the president to bring them together. We have no such president. That is what a leader does. He gets opposing sides to find common ground instead of saying “It’s my way or the highway”. That doesn’t work now and it wouldn’t have worked in the past.
Never mind stepping on the accelerator, how about the damned government getting the hell out of way and out of our lives.
Everything they touch turns to sh**.
To the extent the economy is growing, it predominantly doing so because of people being able to recover during the limited respite given by the gridlock. ...including Fracking.
Oh, yeah—sure.
What we need—what we really need-—what we REEEEALLLY NEED is a lot more inflation.
Step on the gas. Speed things up already.
Sure.
Pot meet Kettle, LOL
Obama&Co slowing economic growth just think what it will be in three years.
