The Bush & Obama U.S. Dark Age

While Obama claims that the last 15 years have been an economic miracle for the United States, reality says something very different. The recent Deaton/Case study showing an increase in death rates among white, working age U.S. males makes the point: this is not a recovery. The Obama and Bush presidencies have ushered in a cultural economic dark age, comparable in scale to the years of Russian “shock therapy” after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s. The best thing we could do for the U.S. economy is remove Obama from office, then a recovery can begin.
