Obama's 'Economic Programs' Worked So Well That ...

quote
Median household income fell after adjusting for inflation to $50,100 in 2011, down 1.5% from a year earlier.

...

The income of the typical American household fell last year for the fourth consecutive year, the longest sustained period of decline since the early 2000s. Americans are now poorer than they were in 1999 after taking into account how inflation erodes the value of the dollar.


Household income drops for 4th straight year ? USATODAY.com

Only 1.5% ? Not bad considering the total devastation when Bush wrecked the economy. What did he lose, like, 750,000 jobs a month? Trillions on unneeded wars based on lies? A drug benefit with no way to actually pay for it? It's a wonder Obama has kept it to just that.

Could you be more specific on the economic programs of which you speak.

Also could you lay out the economic programs the republican's have implemented to bolster the economy during the last 3.75 years?

Take your time I want accuracy not Fake news "some people say"

The Stimulus Bill ran out of funds years ago, the GOP sent the economy back into a tail spin with their made up "debt ceiling" "crisis", the bastards torpedoed the economy so they can get elected and keep the cash flowing to the billionaires. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/201...ire/?mobile=nc Mlfie doesn't like mentioning that.

Obama owns this economy. He wanted it, he got it, now he complains about it. Boo-hoo.

The biggest fall was in 2008.
Would that be the time that the Bush White House was responsible for the economy, and the unemployment numbers were rising at 750,000 a month.
The average income dropped 3.6%,

You're talking about the last couple of months of Bush's term, when Obama was president elect.

Obama owns this economy. I know you don't like that but there it is.
