Reply #3: This slow decline follows the historical example of FDR's victory over Hoover's Great Depression [View All]

It took our greatest president over 7 years to reduce unemployment to below pre-depression levels. Economic recession/depressions that have structural componants driving the slowdown like Hoover's Great Depression or Bush's Great Recession take time to reverse completely.

If we want to avoid the pain and suffering that comes from recession/depression we MUST STOP electing the jackasses whose economic policies cause them. I'm talking about Republicans.

A HISTORY OF RECESSION IN THE UNITED STATES 1950 TO 2008

Criminologists look for patterns to solve and prevent crimes. And in the comparison of the economic records of Democrat and Republican administrations there is a glaring pattern all but ignored by the corporate media. Nine of the last ten recessions have occurred under the direction of Republican economic policy. And proving that history does repeat itself, examine the three greatest slowdowns in US economic history, 1929*, 1982, 2007, all three were attributed to poor economic and tight credit policy, all three featured deregulation and lack of oversight of the financial markets, and all three were presided over by a Republican President. -end of clip-


and if you want a job, elect a Democrat to the White House and Congress:
