**When President Barack Obama came into office on a whirlwind of popular support in 2009, hopes were high his proactive, government-centric approach to the economy would stem the housing crisis, save the banks and reverse the jobs implosion that resulted in 11.3 million full-time positions being lost between 2007 and 2009.
**
**His left-leaning economic advisors touted the lessons of the Great Depression and were eager to apply those lessons after eight years of the Bush administration's more laissez-faire approach. They bailed out Detroit. They used Treasury funds to encourage mortgage modifications. They launched a $762 billion stimulus package. They used the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to backstop bank assets.
**
**And they encouraged the Federal Reserve to open the spigots of cheap money on an unprecedented scale, subsidizing the government's $1 trillion-plus deficits, and buying auto loans, collateralized consumer loans and mortgages.
**
**Yes, the economy started growing again. But the results have been disappointing. And now, there are signs this tepid recovery is faltering as both economic growth and corporate profitability turn lower.
**
**We've seen the weakest recovery of the modern area, with annual growth rate of gross domestic product peaking at a meager 2.8% in 2010 before slowing (compared with a Bush-era peak of 4.1%, and a peak of 5.4% under President Bill Clinton). The economy remains far below its full potential. Industrial production remains below pre-recession levels. And we're still facing a deficit of nearly 6 million full-time jobs -- and nearly 13 million if we account for population growth as well as jobs lost during the recession.

**We've gone so far in the hole now we don't know what to do?

**Come 2016 and kicking all the Washington DC politicians asses into the street will be a start..

*How do you know it wouldn't have been worse if they hadn't done any of these things?

I'm sure things would've been better if they hadn't done the stimulus and Omnibus spending packages that only made the rich richer and did very little for creating jobs and helping out
the private sector. Instead it only produced massive spending and greater deficit to which our future generations are going to be paying for.
Besides, Obama is a tool for the Bilderberg Group and other financiers. The little secret conclave they held that he and Hillary Clinton attended prior to his election is the first clue that they weren't in it for the people.
It's went from we're not sure what we're gonna do.. to we don't have a single, solitary clue as to what we're doing.
The answer has to be out there somewhere..it's just finding someone who knows wtf to do about it.. because this administration doesn't have a clue.
