Re: U.S. Economy Shrinks By Most Since Great Recession in 1Q
Both Hillary and Obama have the same amount of credibility, NONE. It didn't take hard work, only a partisan Democrat Congress to pump 842 billion(stimulus) into the economy to generate short term economic results and continue to print money to keep the stock market at record highs. They have done nothing to stimulate the private sector which is the engine that really drives this economy to create jobs that even keep up with population growth. debt continues to rise, economic growth remains stagnant, and govt dependence is increasing.
The opinion piece in the Examiner mischaracterizes Clinton's speech. If one reads the transcript, Clinton actually praises President Obama for reviving economic growth (as would be expected, as she could ill-afford to do otherwise were she to seek the Democratic Party nomination). The relevant excerpts are:
It’s taken years of painstaking work and strong leadership from President Obama to get our economy growing again. But it is growing. And there are reasons to be optimistic about our future.
