Why is recovery taking so long—and who’s to blame? | Economic Policy Institute
I realize few people around here will let Economists explain the economy to them, but I keep trying. Surprise surprise! Austerity is what has caused our recovery to take as long as it has.

Well obviously it's the fault of the political party I don't support and my party would have made sure everything would be much better except the other party obstructed mine.
How have Democrats slowed the recovery?
We spent so much on the past bubbles running up so much debt that we didn't have the leeway this time. It will be worse in the next recession. But we know that and we had a lot of fun in the party Clinton and Greenspan threw. So, what the hell?
Benghazi!
There is plenty of leeway for sovereign entities that control their own currency. Their is much less leeway for those who imagine a nation's finance is the same as household finance.

Bush … What should he have done?
Over history most nations have controlled their own currencies and the path is strewn with those that learned that overspending is a very bad long term policy. And sorrily, that is probably the point we are coming to.
BOTH parties are the party of no.
OK, I'll bite. Since it's all Bush's fault during the meltdown, and everything he did was wrong, and he made things worse:
What should he have done?
And what should have Obama done after him?
Democrats say no to policies that have been tried repeatedly and failed. Republicans block policies that have worked in the past.
R: "Shoot ourselves in the foot again?"
D: "No."
D: "Get to the hospital after shooting ourselves in the foot again?"
R: "No."
Both Parties are to blame, as is big business that has off-shored so many American jobs, as are the American People for not stepping up to the plate and saying enough is enough and demanding an end to the BS.
LOL. Liberal policies have failed over and over, they just think that when their policies haven't worked it is because they didn't do enough of it or they blame the Republicans for their failed liberal policies. Hell, liberals are still blaming Ronald Reagan for things. We just had the Seattle minimum wage thread which shows that after getting a hefty hike in the minimum wage, Seattle workers took home an average of around -$5 to +$5 more on their weekly paychecks after employers cut their hours back. Another liberal policy that did not deliver as promised. Their policies always sound better on paper than what happens in reality.
One thing we know for certain. It's NOT Obama's fault.
Make a sensible argument that it is, with evidence.
We'll wait.
