So then it's clear that regardless of what numbers your plug in wherever, the conclusion is always the same. Thus it isnt about numbers and healthy this or that. Rather it's a psychological phenomenon.

Precisely

The success that we are currently seeing is in no way due to Obama.

As of now you can't prove this.

What are policies that Obama implemented that have lead to this success?

Honestly I believe they are different on a physical level. Something has got to be different in their minds.

They been brainwashed by the likes of Hollywood actors, modern day philosophers, politicians, high profile athletes, globalist, etc. in a utopia society only Hollywood can script.
The very thing they hate, is what their turning into.

I know that the economy is at a better condition than it has been in 40+ years

interesting

and what metric is this knowledge of yours based on?

certainly not sustained gdp growth
or per capita income growth
or capital investment
or the ratio of the prime-age population that's employed
or that manufacturing employment y'all love to talk about

Here's the problem; Lefties have been brainwashed by Critical Theory. Critital Theory EXPLICITLY rejects logic.


Logic can make its way into some Lefties' skulls, but not most, which is why its so damned frustrating to try to have a "just the facts ma'am" kind of conversation w them.

But a majority of the stimulus package went to unions and groups that supported Obama during the 2008 election. Most of which went belly up soon after the stimulus.

So what you’re saying is that they rely on emotion rather than logic.
This makes sense, and explains their aversion to logic.

There is nothing you can say. They are quite obviously mentally ill. The only good answer is to euthanize the miserable America hating, self loathing wretches.

that's a far cry from the economy doing better than it has at several points in the last 40 years

really it just looks like you've going in for some weak talking points. the economy is fine, mostly. no need for the absurd hyperbole
