Any challenges are directly in response to that Democrat's policies however (to include starting the Presidency under a recession). On the contrary, a Republican President is responsible for any economic gains the economy enjoys starting from his opponent's concession speech until the eighth year and final year of the follow on President's term.
The interesting thing is, he didn't.
In other words, Trump is responsible for any positive impacts from November 2016 until 2032 but anything bad that happens is due to either Obama or whoever takes over for Trump.
This explains how supply side economics has survived so many obvious failings and kept its followers.

It's not "conservative religion" that the recovery under BHO's was the weakest since WW2.

Just threw this out there to ensure everyone would know you're retarded, eh?

"weakest recovery" is one of the most pathetic lines of attack of all time. I'm actually assuming you are joking to be honest. Start off in the red and end up in the black. That's called success. It's also a bullshite statistic because it was also one of the longest lasting recoveries in history.
The amount of people who took a macroeconomics class when they were 18 and start trying to school people is always amusing on political forums.

This has nothing to do with supply side theory. These are called "opinions", and both of the "two" sides have players who believe that the economy is largely self directed and "ebbs and flows".

I'm more worried about the shitbags on the government payroll to begin with. Virtually all incompetent or unnecessary. This one retard on here has bragged about being in charge of a "billion dollar enterprise software development team". I knew immediately that he was paid by uncle sugar.

You jumped in white knighting and don't even know what is being discussed. Looks like HHM fled the thread when cornered so at least you kept it fun for a spell...

Yes I am familiar with the conservative religion. Ie, all economic success under a Democrat is credited to the previous Republican.
With an inherited recession, refusal to touch SS reform, 9-11, and inherited Fannie/Freddie liabilities, etc., no one was going to have a great economic tenure from 2001-2009. "W", like his dad, allowed himself to be undercut and defined. Had he had his way with SS and Fannie/Freddie, the great recession would have been substantially mitigated. He didn't. It wasn't.
That said, Bush handed the aftermath fairly well. Obama did virtually nothing but ride Bush policy for 4 subsequent years.
Same tax policy, same TARP policy.

Wait, is this about supply side, or hypocrisy? I'll let you pick the topic, but I don't want to bounce around too much.

This is of course, all in your head. I make no distinction between "federal employees" and "Sodomizing defense contractors". Money all comes from uncle sugar.

Who worships the military? I would cut it in half today if given a magic button. The military is just another welfare program. Many, many, people in the military are lazy AF, just a tad less lazy than their DA CIV/contractor counterparts.

I get paid a significant amount of money for each position I own. It's amusing when people pretend it's a win to fill one of these federal positions with a contractor.
