Bush been spending like a drunkard sailor

The US will experience its most severe recession since World War II. Obama will inherit an economic and financial mess worse than anything the US has faced in decades.
Tell us your comments pls

So you are already making excuses for Obama?

Bush inherited a recession and then had 9/11--of course he was blamed for both!

I am neutral here. The idea is to get people to contribute and participate

My comments are the same regardless of who would be taking office. We need programs to stimulate the economy. We need to give incentives for businesses to keep jobs here (or bring them back from oversees). We need to improve the skills of the work force--especially those of minorities. Like the slogan from the Clinton campaing--"it's the economy stupid."

If Obama raises taxes on businesses like he said he's going to do, we are in for a very long nightmare. If he passes the worker's rights legislation (which would allow unions to infiltrate just about every business no matter the size), then we are in for a very long nightmare.

My hope is some of these communist programs he's claimed to have supported he back off of when his economic advisors tell him it will destroy the economy. I understand him making the promises (because he was appealing to a large ignorant voting base that believes obama is going to take from the rich and businesses give to them), but if follows through on those promises, we are fucked economically.

Obama will probably introduce protectionist trade policies. Will that help to bring the jobs back?

Bush is an idiot.

What do you think?

Protectionist trade policies will kill the economy. We can't fucking control the world anymore--if we persist on allowing unions to extort $30 an hour to do mind numbing jobs, the world simply will not buy our products or services.

That makes you an ameba (that's a one-celled organism).

 

[Peter Parka]

The world is in an economic mess and whoever won has tough times ahead of them. Of course the Republicans will jump all over Obama, like McCain would be able to do much better.

Agreed, less competitive. The name of the game is globalization

 

[kelvin070]

Nearly every country face tough times ahead. When USA sneezes the rest of the world catches cold

 

[Peter Parka]

True that.:nod:

You had four years to study Bush but you people voted him for a second term. Bush senior and Bush junior thrive on wars. Like father like son

you can not compare the two

Sr. did the right thing. There was hardly anybody who was against that involvement. and he had enough sense to not march to Bagdad.

Anyway the guy who marched to Bagdad was ill-advised. There was no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq

QFT :thumbup:thumbup:thumbup


And yes, I agree Bush Jr. was ill-advised or mentally impaired during that decision on Bahgdad. Not that Iraq didn't need it(I think they are much better off today, not having a genocidal leader in charge and all), but it was the wrong decision for what was initially stated.

tell that to the Kurds

 

[kelvin070]

Using the kurds as a scapegoat. That was pretty much a damage control after a wrong decision was made
