I would what happened around the time Obama took office that might have caused that...hmmmm.

Bush appointed Bernanke, who set in motion the Fed policies we have in place right now. As the de facto central bank of the world, the options became limited after they went down that road.

Act like Yellen's advocating for QE is completely blameless, peon :russ:

nikkas are still blaming Bush/Bernanke for the bailouts, TPP, not prosecuting banks and oil companies, multiple failed QEs....fukk out of here, the disparity rose drastically multiple years into Obama's presidency :dead:

Its obviously not a trend if the disparity suddenly increases sharply:dead:




The people the President appoints, you dipshyt? :laff:
So why don't you explain specifically what Obama has done policy-wise that directly caused such a marked decline in wages concurrent with an increase in corporate profits and income inequality?

both graphs show it changed the same amount/even more from ford/carter to Reagan as well as Clinton to bush


what you just said grossly misrepresents the information you brought forth in these two graphs

it seems like you should

Learn to read a graph.

Literally look a post up. QE (which was reinvested by rich crooks back into the stock market) being the main driver after the bailout to drive the disparity.

you're quick to tell people to learn how to read a graph, but the graph doesn't mention anything about TPP or Yellen's time as fed chair, she became fed chair in 2014. let's see how 2013-2016 looks if you want to be fair since every other president listed completed their time in office.

People really this delusional that Obama is the biggest corporatist in office in the history of the presidency :what:

He has done a lot of socially progressive things but he is terrible when it comes to economic and foreign policy :what:

None of you would have qualms if I did this same thread but said "Bush" :childplease:

Uh, QE is Fed monetary policy, not legislative policy from Obama. And even if Obama didn't re-nominate Big Shalom, whoever was in charge of the Fed would've continued QE because it was the sensible thing to do to avoid massive deflationary spiral and a Great Depression 2.0 scenario. Only the craziest Ron Paul stan types were against aggressive monetary stimulus. It did result in profits being concentrated at the top, but there wasn't a better alternative. Bernanke saved us from a depression...reality rap.

Even if you disagree, calling this thread "Obama" and blaming it on him is dumb and makes no sense.
