What about Obama saying if he just passed healthcare and wound up a one term president he'd consider himself a success?

It's almost like Obama took my pre-election 2008 concerns about him as a candidate and has spent nearly 4 years trolling me with it.

If the economy improves and our dollar increases in value, then employment will rise with it.
Also if we cut unemployment benefits that would increase employment as well, forces people to look for jobs.

Got an email back from the author of the OP regarding the questions at the start of the thread.
The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Well, just mine: Quote:

The stimulus package prevented the Great Recession from becoming the Second Great Depression. So he saved us from another Great Depression? I guess you can argue "Well it didn't happen" just like my house wasn't forclosed upon using my credit cards (fictional example) but my economic outlook is now worse than before, and so is this country's IMO. What was it the CBO came out with; every job the stimulus created cost taxpayers $265,000? How's that economically positive? |

Why you even thought this was a point worth combing through is beyond me, Donger. Methinks you're probably just looking for something to do. |

There have been a lot of hilariously dumb things said in this thread, but this is near the top.

No, it was leap of faith. You just happened to make a good guess.

You do know that Obama (and his DOE lead) have expressed being just fine and dandy with us having high gasoline prices, yes?

A strong dollar pretty much decreases the price of exports, makes foreign labor cheaper, and causes a big trade deficit. How does any of that increase employment? A strong dollar usually follows from a strong economy when our products are highly desired in world markets. But, strong dollars also have historically occurred in an unstable world when investors and financial institutions start looking for security. In both cases, the strong dollar follows from either a good economy or economic havoc in other major markets. But, the strong dollar doesn't cause these things, its a RESULT. A strong dollar sets off a chain reaction that usually acts to weaken employment in the US not strengthen it. |

Obama was just one moving part of the stimulus package, but he was a critical part. The stimulus package and Obama are not one in the same. In all likelihood, he wanted one much, much larger than the one he got. It's an important distinction to make. Quote:
Obama took office when the economy was in a nosedive. Are you suggesting we're worse off now? What metric are you using? What measurements are you relying on? Do you have any legitimate economists or experts what come within the same hemisphere as you on this? |
