Why didn't you come out of your rat hole, when republicans here made totally stupid beyond belief statements about the cause of the great recession? Someone even praised the stupid statement, but you keep your mouth shut. Didn't you!
Whatever you post can not be questioned, because what you are the almighty, and can do no wrong?

Isn't that great there was full employment in "W's" first six years? As soon as the Democrats gained control everything changed.
What did the Democrats do in those two years that caused the collapse? As soon as, the Democrats took control "W" saw the light of day, and started asking for audits of Freddie, and Fanny. Is that what you are trying sell?
You know what "W" was handed a balanced budget. What happened to that, unfunded wars, and a large cut tax most of which went to the wealthy. What did he pass on? The Great Recession.
You don't think that the Republican Senate filibustering everything contributed to the speed of the recovery? What did the Republicans ever put forward to help the recovery? They were more interested in regaining the White House in 2012 then they were in helping the country get out of the recession.
Dodd/Frank was enacted to prevent another crash like 2007/2008. There was a Consumer Protection Agency set up to overlook Wall Street. They wouldn't approve the person named to head the agency, Elizabeth Warren. That worked out well for the Republicans didn't it? The Republicans are doing everything they can to repeal Dodd/Frank, or they to make it worthless. The Republicans are in bed up to the ears with Wall Street.
Hillary might be in bed with them, but she has her legs crossed. She will be going after them, when she is elected president.
What do the Republicans always push, international trade bills that help big business. How many manufacturing jobs have moved overseas due to these trade bills?
When you compare the great recession to others after WWII, you are not comparing like items. The Great Recession as suggested by its name was a lot deeper than others, and road to recovery, manufacturing jobs, was a lot smaller. You are not talking apples and apples.
Figures lie, and liars figures. That is exactly what the Republicans are doing was spouting the current numbers. They are hoping everybody is stupid enough to believe times haven't changed.
First time in history GDP didn't exceed 3% is that right.
