Small Steps Toward A Much Better World
“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.

it’s 2014, blaming the last guy has lost its Mojo by now.
In Great Depressions of the Twentieth Century (2007), Kehoe and Prescott and others concluded that bad government policies are responsible for causing depressions. In particular, while different sorts of shocks can lead to ordinary business cycle downturns, it is overreactions by governments that can prolong and deepen the downturn, turning it into a depression.
Depressions and great recessions, such as currently the case in the USA, are caused by crisis management policies that turn garden-variety recessions into something much worse. Crisis management policies distort the incentives to hire and invest and reduce competition and efficiency.

Jim, you are dissembling,
Obama tried to reduce the deficit far too quickly AND state and local Government reduced their workforce. If they had done what they did under Reagan unemployment would have been 6% or lower much quicker and the Fed would be now increasing rates.
your polices worked for the worst.
Simply accept you were wrong, badly wrong!
