Our country's economy has recovered from the Great Republican Recession faster than almost any other. The big exception is China, but they're a developing economy and dealing with a huge housing bubble of their own.

If you're going to call it the "Great Republican Recession," why don't you provide a description of what REPUBLICAN policies brought it about, and how and why they did? You can't.

I also question what country has been "butt raping the US." We're doing it to ourselves with tax and regulatory policies that stifle investment.

Quote:I find it sad that so many Republicans dismiss universal health care as "hand out," as if a person getting life saving medical care is the same as handing them a Playstation.

What's sad is that democrats get away with the lie that Obamacare is universal health care that is providing life saving medical care. What Obamacare provides is non-universal health insurance that is nearly worthless to so many who have it. Health insurance is not health care, particularly when the "insurance" is of as poor quality as the Obamacare plans. It really is little more than a Playstation.

Quote:The budget has been cut in half under Obama and all new spending comes with "pay fors" ie matching revenue proposals.

As stated, that is simply an outright lie.

Starting when republicans retook the house, the budget DEFICIT has been reduced from the level to which Obama inflated it in 2009 with what were supposed to be one time emergency measures. But that's like taking something priced at $5, increasing the price to $10, and then putting it on "sale" for $7. And if you look at the outyear projections in recent budget submissions, Obama's plans would significantly grow that deficit again in future years.

Best possible spin you can out on it (and this makes some debatable assumptions), Obama's eight budgets produce 8 of the 10 largest annual budget deficits in the history of the republic, and the largest 8-year increase in the national debt.

I call it the Republican recession because a Republican was in power when it occurred, but in fairness it was caused by financial deregulation pushed by both parties.

Health insurance is actually health care. Many classes of physicians won't see a patient or perform surgery without insurance. You can go to an ER but they only have to see you until you stabilize. And the problem with forcing people to go to the ER is that it's far more expensive, so they wait until their conditions metasticize into something worse, and at that point the outcome is worse and they can't pay the huge bill and it's spread out to the rest of us. Oh and they die.

The big spending his first year was necessary because when the private sector demand isn't there the government has to step in and provide it. Republicans used to know that, and in fact Bush had a couple stimuluses (stimuli?) of his own.

Back to the topic at hand. DNC ratings again crush GOP ratings!

http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/28/media/de...index.html
Quote:President Obama's prime time speech lifted the Democratic convention to its third straight night of ratings wins over the Republican convention last week -- and now the Trump campaign is exhorting supporters not to watch the Democrats' final night.

Overnight Nielsen ratings indicate that Wednesday night's DNC viewership was about 15% higher than last Wednesday night's coverage of the RNC.



Monday night's speeches were seen by 26 million viewers across seven channels, versus 23 million for night one of the RNC.

Tuesday night's DNC coverage averaged 24 million, versus 19 million for night two of the RNC.

The Nielsen estimates do not account for live streaming, on demand video viewing, PBS, or C-SPAN.

Trump, obsessed with and getting crushed in the ratings, pathetically begging his supporters to not tune in:

"Unless you want to be lied to, belittled, and attacked for your beliefs, don't watch Hillary's DNC speech tonight," the email read. "Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable, call out her lies and fight back against her nasty attacks."

Not a ratings expert, but this article states that Day 3 RNC beat Day 3 DNC

Quotes from the article:

"Even with all the big names onstage last night, convention-to-convention, the combined rating of the DNC stumbled against Donald Trump and the RNC"

"This is the first night RNC coverage has topped DNC coverage this election year"

That's weird because it was published today. The Politico and Variety links are for day 3 though.
