Obama did fund ISIS.

Similar story different year

We also see a better change in “real unemployment”

Under Trump

@Anon365

Obama didn’t do much to get these jobs back in a sense

He just delayed it.

He created plenty of jobs

The GDP was growing at a decent rate under Obama

@Anon365 yeah he created a lot of jobs because there were “*more to create*”

Obama is the only president not to reach 3% annual growth either

He created a lot jobs due to the very reason of “more to create”, but job creations may have been higher and faster if he didn’t intervene, aka stimulus packages and other interventions

That's hard to tell

We also see a declining Labor Force Participation rate, then when trump is in its up

No dude, government spending does not help economic growth and recovery from recessions

What it does is delay it

That’s why the recovery was so long and slow

There were a few min wage hikes under him aswell which worsened the recovery and unemployment going down time, even job creation

But I don’t think that was signed by him, but Bush

Ok, I agree with you on the stimulus

It was unnecessary, but there is no way of knowing whether or not it would've made growth faster.

Had it not been enacted

Because government spending in the recession times does not bring growth

Nor does it help in normal times

This theory has been debunked and we saw it fail in ‘30s, ‘08 and the “lost decade” in Japan

They spent 100 trillion yen trying to get out from the depression, they still couldn’t get out

It only delayed it

Now Japan sits on 205% debt to gdp

New deal?

Yep

It helped create jobs

Delayed the depression recovery

dude unemployment was around 20s

Then spiked up in ‘38
