Why a President Romney would have Obama to thank for an economic recovery - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags:
Ip's point about the actions of previous president's in promoting a recovery long after they are in office has to be qualified by the uncertain economic outlook for 2013, with a slowdown in the eurozone, China and India, and the efforts to control the deficit in the U.S. also affecting the economic outlook. The process of deleveraging has still to work itself out and the economy is still being supported by the Fed's continual easing of monetary policy.
Looking back: An assessment of the management of the U.S. economy in Obama's first term 2008-2012
03/11/2009
Why were significant resources not invested to aid homeowners under water just as resources were provided to the auto industry? And why was there a lack of focus on unemployment in this period? The challenges were difficult but did the Obama administration do what could have been done. The auto industry bailout was an easy call considering Obama's commitment to increasing fuel efficiency during his days in Congress. Housing was a tougher call with bankers cautious and influencing policy, yet even Republicans Martin Feldstein and Sheila Bair were calling repeatedly for strong action. Tackling housing first and healthcare later after economic recovery, is likely to have produced better results, credibility for the administration, and a broad consensus in the U.S.

Policy errors and lack of focus on unemployment and the economy of the Obama administration
04/04/2009
The focus on health care reform comes at the wrong time when when the U.S. economy and high unemployment were priorities that needed attention, say experts. Feldstein points elsewhere to the lack of attention to the housing crisis and reducing foreclosures through homeowner assistance. These errors of the Obama administration increased business uncertainty in the U.S. just as the eurozone crisis worsened.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
