In another crisis, GOP would let economy collapse
” … under questioning from skeptical Republicans, the director of the nonpartisan (and widely respected) Congressional Budget Office was emphatic about the value of the 2009 stimulus. And, he said, the vast majority of economists agree.
In a survey conducted by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, 80 percent of economic experts agreed that, because of the stimulus, the U.S. unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been otherwise.
“Only 4 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed,” CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee. “That,” he added, “is a distinct minority.”
Elmendorf’s testimony came in response to questions from Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), a member of the tea party caucus. Huelskamp asserted that the stimulus was a failure because it did not keep the jobless rate below 8 percent, as the Obama administration predicted.
“Where did Washington mess up?” Huelskamp demanded. “Because you’re saying most economists think it should’ve worked. It didn’t.”
Most economists not only think it should have worked; they think it did work, Elmendorf replied. CBO’s own analysis found that the package added as many as 3.3 million jobs to the economy during the second quarter of 2010, and may have prevented the nation from lapsing back into recession.”
Most Republicans cannot bring themselves to admit it, but by any definition the Obama stimulus worked, pulling the economy out of a death spiral that probably would have resulted in a far-worse economic crisis. It’s also pretty damn clear that if similar circumstances should arise again, this Congress would refuse to act as it did three years ago. To the contrary, they would sit back and applaud as it all comes tumbling down around our ears.
Today’s conservative congressional majority also bitterly opposes TARP, which to his credit was pushed by President Bush out of fear that “this sucker could go down.” Despite Bush’s strong support and the insistence of economists across the ideological spectrum, a majority of House Republicans voted against its passage in the crisis of 2008. And of course, today’s GOP caucus is far more conservative than it was four years ago.
In the Senate, 16 of the 30 Republicans who voted in favor of TARP in 2008 will have left either the Senate or the party by the end of this year, many because they no longer are acceptable to the GOP base. That’s a remarkable amount of turnover in a short period of time. Again, most of those 16 have been replaced by far more conservative candidates who would not dare to support passage of TARP-like legislation should the need arise again.
And again, without TARP the entire global financial sector would have imploded upon itself, creating an economic calamity that would make our current problems seem mild.
The same is true of the auto-industry rescue. The current Congress would never have supported its passage. And while Mitt Romney implausibly seeks to take credit for the rebound of the auto industry, it is absolutely clear that under the terms that he insisted upon, the rescue plan could not have happened.
In other words, every major governmental intervention that succeeded in pulling the economy back from the brink in the crisis of 2008-09 would be rejected by those now in control of the U.S. House; passage in the Senate would be much more difficult as well. If we were to face another such challenge — touched off by a crisis in Europe, perhaps, or a major blow-up in the oil-rich Middle East — they would be quite content to stand by and “let this sucker go down.”
Some, I fear, might even take a perverse Puritan-like pleasure in seeing it happen.

From the October 1996 Update of the DSA ‘New Party’:
“New Party members are busy knocking on doors, hammering down lawn signs, and phoning voters to support NP candidates this fall. Here are some of our key races…
Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).”

“think the answer you’re looking for is the FED.
______
I think part of the answer is lack of regulation of the financial industry.”
Perhaps a contributing percentage, however I think an organization that controls the money supply and sets interest rates for the world’s largest economy has a much larger significant impact on market volatility
__________
Agree that money supply and interest rates matter and contribute to the direction of the economy, but there are other factors that coun and contribute to stock market prices. Size of money supply counts more after the recession or depression starts. Then have to be sure money supply does not shirnk or there will be no demand and economy can’t start upward again.

Are his own words in his own book not to be believed? Is he lying in his own book about his political leanings?

I’ve seen some comments here about money supply, the fed, and other reasons the democratic presidents achieved better results. If the score were 55-45, you could argue that the sun was in our eyes, or the wind was against us all day. When the score is 12,000 to -430, you don’t quibble about the conditions. You should try to learn why your system does not work.

The problem with increasing the money supply now – stimulus – that the money gets spent on products from China and Asai and goes out of the counrty instead of creating manufacturing jobs in the US. Makes it difficult to start the economy as that takes away wone of the main tools. Spending on infrastructure, training in techical jobs and education would help.
Cutting taxes and raising spending on defense would be the worst things we could do.

You do realize that you already pay for the free care that the uninsured get today don’t you? That is the absolute best of socialism. You don’t know who they are but they are digging into your pocket at an alarming rate.
I would much rather get everyone insured and fine those that refuse to play by the rules. The fine may not go too far in paying for the free healthcare the uninsured will get but it is something better than today.
But we will never, despite the claps and cheers of the audience during one of the GOP debates, allow someone to die simply because they don’t have health insurance. That is not who we are as a people. If we consider ourselves to share any humanity you don’t let them die.

Don’t be foolish. Obama’s stimulus worked as well as giving a heroin addict more heroin to cure him of addiction. It made the addict temporarily feel better but the underlying problem still exists. In order for the problem to be resolved we must correct the fundamental problem. It WILL be painful but people don’t want to hear that. Eventually, pretending the problem is fixed will make greater pain through a fatal overdose or someone else decides no more heroin. Eventually the piper must be paid.

(Hi I’m Debbie, and I’m a shoe-a-holic. Group – “Hi Debbie”); loosing too much weight, (don’t know why — I think I just need to stop jogging so much and take up something else….like shoe shopping!), AND totally bummed that that crazy guy in Wisconsin is still there!!!
I have some friends who live in LaSalle, WI; who are teachers who HATE that guy! (so I’m honor bound to hate him too); and they were really, really, upset that he’s still on the job when thousands of them aren’t due to cuts.
Hmmm how am I doing………….well, also, I’ve come to realize that happines is NOT between my wallet. I have stopped using “retail therapy” as an outlet and now i have less clothes than I did last year this time AND I’m wearing THE SAME CLOTHES that I had last year!! I know times are hard, but I”m a single (mostly — my husband works overseas), woman with no kids and no real reason to spend money on anybody but ME, (and my neice and nephew); so without retail therapy I’m just LOST.
I’m thinking about either taking up another class, (probably French or chineese or something), OR taking up Tae Kwon Do…… ANYTHING to stop the “I’ve got nothing to dooooooo” blues!

You may also want to take note that generally when the stock market did well under D presidents it was because there was an R Congress. And that when the stock market didn’t fare generally well under R presidents you should take note of the fact that it was often with a D Congress. Congress controls the purse strings and hence fiscal restraint and that has as much if not more to do with how business perceives the economic environment as anything the president can do.

Kammie,
If you are going to sit in the side lines and throw out your stupid one liners, at least up date your material

What Oblama is attempting to say is that he doesn’t have the ability to see any deeper than a left / right paradigm. He can’t fathom not being able fit people into a nice little box like he is in. His brain goes on tilt
Oblama: It is ok. Know you were scared so I spelled it out for him.
Glad I could assist. Anytime my friend
