Understanding....

Ahhhh.... I see. That certainly explains the time compression.

Now you tell me where you get 17 months.

PH, leave me alone. I am convinced I can get Henry to understand simple arithmetic it I hammer away at him long enough. However, getting him to grant the current POTUS the same grace period he gave his hero is probably beyond my powers of persuasion. But I am damned! if I will let him claim it was only half as long.

Chill Lolly, from the time Congress passed his tax cuts, in August 1981, until the recession he inherited finally ended in January 1983....that was 17 months
Obama passed his stimulus in Feb of 09.....he is into his 19th month....show me how my simple arithmatic is wrong...how is YOUR cypherin Sandy?

btw, If Reagan had a repub house and senate, to pass HIS bill faster, things would have happend much sooner.

Lolly are you damned?

The recession ended that month...Inflation fell from 10.3% in 1981 to 3.2% in 1983...unemployment gradually improved and it began to fall from a high of 10.8% in December 1982 and went down continually

Lolly the point I am getting at is..........Obama is doing the opposite of what Reagan did....at least after 17 months of Reagans, there was signs of economic improvments....after 19 months of Obama's plan, there is NO optimism but signs of further economic hardships....he has spent trillions and and wants to spend even MORE....the gov is NOT the solution to the problem...they ARE the problem.

put the money back into the hands of the people of America and let THEM fix this problem.

Hopeless. Henry can't fight the numbers on unemployment, so he suddenly decides to change the topic to the "economy." Straw Man. Nearly as good as the ones me tosses around.

Like mama always said, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."
