So at what point can we officially declare Obama a failed president?

Please tell me economics professor MTA, how does taking money out of the economy, cause people to spend more

It wasnt until AFTER the tax cuts the economy grew and allowed jobs to be created.

You mean after interest rates where lowered. When they went back up people couldn't pay there loans. Guess what is hapening right now but on a global scale.

And what did I say that conflicted with that statement?

You call the current economy a 'recovery'? Take away the sizzling auto market, and the rest of the economy is comatose, including a housing 'recovery' that would be nonexistent if it weren't for bumbling Bernanke.

Obama is strangling the economy with thousands of pages of regulations such as ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank Act, both of which were 100% necessary.

ObamaCare is already crumbling because the states cannot afford any more unfunded mandates' as well as the opening round of subsidies, which will vanish on 1-1-19 according to IBD.

Obama is weakened both in the U.S. and in the world. Obama is in China right now but the Chinese are not stupid. When Americans stand together we are a force to be reckoned with, divided we are weak and this is exactly what Obama wants, he thinks the U.S. has too big of a footprint in the world. The visit to China is a waste of time, they see a country that is deeply divided, a president in the middle of multiple scandals, a weakened president.

The U.S. is weak, our president is weak and the world knows it.

So you agree that the U.S. is no better than any other country. That is music to Obama's ears.

What do you think is going to happen with our national deficit when they rise again? Interest rates after all, has world wide pressure, not just in the USA
