That's your position. Others may differ. You asked about Reagan's job creation. You have received your answer: Good, but not nearly as good as Carter. Carter wins on borrowing. Carter wins on reducing the debt to GDP ratio. Carter wins on keeping the debt low. Carter wins on jobs. Carter wins on n...

I've had one for years and never seen one single column by this moonbat. Forbes magazine itself has never and would never carry something so shallow, so stupid and so incorrect. Reagan took eight years to barely beat Carter. What does your chart fail to show, as you fully intend? Carter inherite...

For my buddy Clem: It seems that Republicans still have no desire to reform Fannie and Freddie. Reform bills introduced, but nothing has passed. Updated: Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 When the nation's housing crisis grew into an economic disaster, many Republicans in Washington pointed to two culpr...

It's called accepted reality, psycho, underline or not. The issue is settled, not that you were ever aware it happened. And no useless chart hides the fact that your claim Carter left Reagan a strong economy was stupidly wrong. Carter created over ten million jobs in HALF the time it took Reag...

Right here, Glory Hole. Do you accept FORBES as a credible source? You bragged you have a SUBSCRIPTION, did you not? http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepatton/ ... -creation/ Reagan took eight years to barely beat Carter, when you consider the larger population he had to work with and the 2 trillio...

It's the committees, more specifically the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, which does the oversight when it comes to matters of GSE, most specifically Fannie and Freddie. This is done by both parties, not just one....

On the basis that you said that Bush only slightly expanded liberal lending policies. Google Bush's Home Ownership Society and you will see that it was one of his main priorities. And if he really wanted to reform Fannie and Freddie, there was nothing to stop him. His party had control of Congress....

This link will earn you an indulgence, my son. You have my undying gratitude. I have incorporated it into the OP by the magic of my edit power, applied in the spirit of this thread being NUMBER ONE ON GOOGLE (WOO HOO) when you search, "Carter grew the economy."...
