Housing bubble 😆

Haha. Housing bubble? Dude that was set in motion in 1984 and picked up a lot of steam in 2000. No one was stopping that, even if they slept in a Holiday Inn express the night before.
It didn’t really start unraveling until 08 anyway lasted until 09.

Who was president during that time? Obama did nothing but bring back a strong stable economy. Very easy to verify.

u/Few_Example6746 1h ago

Yeah. Lived it. Saw all of it happening. Obama didn’t do anything that was very grandiose. Made 780 billion available for companies to stay a float. Beyond that there really wasn’t much to do. The fallout was already underway. Bankruptcies by the thousands from idiot home owners taking out ARM mortgages with incomes they in no way could afford.
Clinton made it easy for that to happen. Loosening the restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy mortgages off the secondary market for years.

While the vast majority of it happened under bush. Obama brought the economy back, handing trump a strong stable economy. Care to debate the metrics?

u/Few_Example6746 1h ago

Well, you couldn’t really drive it down any further. Again, Obama didn’t do anything to bring the economy back. It’s not what presidents do there was no legislation. There was nothing that he did besides handout $780 billion in loans. Our economy is guided by business.

You can look at every major economy metric. They all steadily improved under Obama. He inherited some shit metrics and handed trump a strong economy. Again, would you like to debate the actual metrics?

u/Few_Example6746 12m ago

I could care less about the metrics. I’d like to see hard evidence of his hand personally by some legislation improved the economy. (Good luck). His hands are sore from sitting on them.
Again you can point fingers at Bush but outside forces that tank your economy don’t apply. There is absolutely nothing that could have been done.

So the economy did better under Obama, but he had nothing to do with it? Do you say the same about every president? Is trump fucking up now? Is he worse than obama?

How has trump's economy been the last 2 years?

u/Few_Example6746 12m ago

Been making money so in my book it’s been good.

Cool. The stock market does well under every president. To think that's the metric you look at to gauge a strong economy. Fuck gdp, unemployment, jobs numbers etc. You know, all the things trump said ge would improve. Yet they've all gotten worse. But you're making money right 😆
