Hey Sage, I'm new to this forum so thats probably why you wont know who the hell I am, but I just wanted give some input. Although I dont agree with all of the spending Obama has done, I have to ask you the question, how do you propose we get out of this recession without raising taxes and spending? Also he came into office with the motor industry in shambles, a shaky housing market, and a stumbling economy. We were one more failed bank away from a recession. So no he has not improved the unemployment rate, but you have to give him his credit where it is due. Without his actions who knows how much worse off we would have been, also check Ronald Reagan's record, his policies worked in the short term but screwed us over in the long term, and while alienating middle and low class families, and adding to our national Dept. But lets not argue over apple's and oranges, instead lets think of solutions, what are some suggestions for improving our economy.
The best solution to our problems is growing the private sector through incentives, lower the corporate tax rates, provide greater tax cuts to the American people, cut the size and scope of the Federal Govt. A good start.
Reagan took office with a 900 billion dollar debt and left it at 2.6 trillion or a 1.7 trillion dollar increase. Reagan never had a Republican Congress. Obama took office with a 10.0 trillion dollar debt and in 2 years increased that to 13.6 trillion or 3.6 trillion dollars. Which debt would you prefer?
So what you are saying is Reagan tripled the debt and Obama is on pace to double the debt.
Hey, shouldn't that make Obama a conservative hero?
Obama should have focused in the private sector not the public sector and we would be creating jobs today just like Reagan created.
Why is more corporate welfare your answer for everything? It didn't work under Reagan or Bush...and yet you guys keep saying that this is the answer. Too funny.
Nah, it was all the democratic congress's fault under Reagan, despite the fact the budgets passed where within a couple percent of the budget's Reagan submitted.
How do you explain the addition of private sector jobs while government jobs have been bleeding off?
Reagan, if running today, would be labeled a RINO.
The creation of private sector jobs is a good thing but way too low to significantly impact the unemployment numbers. One million people left the work force last month and that is why the rate dropped. Add those million back into the unemployment number and what is the rate?

Barack Obama was elected to be POTUS, he wasn't hired for anything.
My mistake, I thought the name Conservative was just for your political party. No I was not alive during the Reagan years, I get most of my information from literature, and documentaries, I actually watched a documentary on Reagan that aired on HBO the other day and thats where I got the information about him pinching the middle class as well as increasing the National Debt. I also read a wonderful book called the Reagan years, which talked about his record, and yes he was a great president in many ways, but he has been over hyped for what he did in the financial sector according to many of the books I've read.
As for Govt, you ignored my comments about the mess that Bush left us in. Was Obama supposed to ignore that mess and jump straight to the private sector? If that happened you would probably be bashing him for not handling those issues first before jumping on the private sector. The same solutions you suggested is what got us in most of the mess we're in now.
Going back to Reagan and his years, the Budget for America was not as large as it is now, so that plays a part in the growth of the national debt. Obama is far from a Horrible president. Just like Reagan is far from a horrible president. I dont think Obama is perfect but you're talking about a president who came into office with an economic situation that can only be compared to the one Roosevelt had, oh and two wars, and a failing educational system. lets wait until he's out of office for a couple of years before we judge him as a president.
And he hasn't disappointed. He hasn't done anything.
Oh and when did Obama Bail out the teacher unions, was this an error on your part? If not please stop watching Fox, they are clearly destroying your mind.
And he hasn't disappointed. He hasn't done anything!
But you said that Obama is growing government which contradicts what the job numbers states. Private employers added 222,000 jobs last month and 30,000 public jobs were slashed. Please explain to me how does that reflect growth of public jobs.
That saved jobs, how is that a bad thing, and some of that stimulus money was used by the same republicans who denied it too. Whats your point
except ruin America and turn us into socialist terrorist fist-jabbers and Muslim apologists.
