“So, by the time I left office, wages were rising, the uninsured rate was falling, poverty was falling, and that’s what I handed off to the next guy,” Obama said “So, when you hear all this talk about economic miracles right now, remember who started it.”
By Obama’s logic, Herbert Hoover was responsible for the recovery from the Depression, not Roosevelt.
The Dow reached its Depression low on July 8, 1932. By the time Roosevelt took office on March 4, 1933, the Dow was up 47% from the low and it almost double from the low by the next congressional election in 1934.
For actual figures see:
Of course the Dow has been going down since the Democrats won the House in the last election. It must be Trump’s fault. . .
Whenever I come across one of these tedious Well, if you just turn the page sideways like this and then squint! arguments here, I always think back to televangelist and Fox newsperson Brit Hume (who often looks like he just stopped a bullet with his teeth) in 2003. Remember when he called US casualties “negligible” and supported the claim using this logic?
“Two hundred seventy-seven U.S. soldiers have now died in Iraq, which means that statistically speaking U.S. soldiers have less of a chance of dying from all causes in Iraq than citizens have of being murdered in California, which is roughly the same geographical size. The most recent statistics indicate California has more than 2,300 homicides each year, which means about 6.6 murders each day. Meanwhile, U.S. troops have been in Iraq for 160 days, which means they’re incurring about 1.7 deaths, including illness and accidents each day.”
Now, I am no mathematician or statistician, but . . .
