@brassorchid. You have either a very short memory—or a selective one. Either way, I guess you don’t recall an economy and stock market in complete and total free-fall that President Obama inherited from George W. Bush. It’s sort of like the wars in the Middle East Obama inherited—the unforced errors spun out of control due to W’s incompetence and profound ignorance of evidence. Obama stopped the slide and stabilized the ship.
But, in early 2009, I guess you would have preferred a depression to President Obama’s insightful, measured and realistic response? I mean, really. The entire system was teetering on the brink, and we had a cool-handed, even-tempered response led by President Obama. The TARP monies were paid back, GM rescued. You rely on trump-like “alternative facts” to support your woefully short memory.
Brass, I know you have some pretty “unconventional” views on the fiat monetary systems making distinctions between “wealth and money” and which (or who) “controls” which. But these ideas seem a lot like your “unconventional” views on anthropogenic climate change. I suspect you enjoy being “the only guy in the room who truly sees the truth.” But you really need to study up on how to apply Occam’s razor to sharpen your “unconventional” views.
As for me, I trust the climate scientists who spend their professional lives pursuing and interpreting actual evidence. I think they know more about this than you do. But the world of the global economy, global financial markets, and the accompanying fiat money systems—that’s MY world, and your ideas appear to misinterpret MY world in a fairly profound way.
My long-term, reality-based professional involvement in the world of money and the global economy has proven VERY successful over many decades. So, to me, your assessment of Obama’s performance on the economy seems no more valid or evidence-based than your assessment of the forces behind global climate change.
