How is the high unemployment rate and poor economy Bush’s fault?
Question by : How is the high unemployment rate and poor economy Bush’s fault?
I hear this statement every time someone defends Obama, and the poor economic conditions we are in.
It’s Bush’s fault, they say. So what did Bush do to cause this bad economy? Do people who make this claim actually know what they are talking about, or are they just repeating the rhetoric they have heard?
Is it Bush’s fault because of his tax cuts for the rich? Didn’t Obama extend those tax cuts? Is it because of Bush’s spending? Didn’t Obama triple Bush’s spending? How is the high unemployment of today Bush’s fault? Thanks.

Declining Unemployment Rate Spells Opportunity for Consumers in 2012
January 18th, 2012 | 
Author:
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2012
According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics most recent Employment Situation report released in December 2011, unemployment rates recently hit their lowest point in two years, which Credit Card City predicts will have major implications for consumer spending in 2012.
Specifically, these lower unemployment rates are anticipated to result in the following primary impacts on consumer spending throughout the New Year:
Easier Access to Lines of Credit As consumers re-enter the workforce, their ability to meet minimum payment requirements on existing mortgages, loans and other lines of credit will improve, resulting in an overall improvement in credit scores. As the qualifications of these consumers improve, new lines of credit will become easier to access when compared with the tightening of credit restrictions that has occurred over the past several years.
Higher Credit Card Balances Interestingly, the Christian Science Monitor points out that, Consumers incurred 154 percent more credit card debt during the third quarter of 2011 than the same period in 2010. Overall, this translates to an increase of $ 64 billion being carried as credit card debt, with no indication that this trend will be slowing down in the future as wallets loosen and the number of qualified borrowers in the market increase in the face of improving employment opportunities.
Increased Discretionary Spending The rise in employment, paired with greater access to capital and credit lines, will likely lead to higher consumer discretionary spending as many buyers find themselves with extra income to spend for the first time in years. Automobiles, electronics, furniture and other home goods are all categories in which we expect to see growth in 2012.
Of course, predictions about 2012s economic prosperity arent all rosy. Concerns about the debt situation in Europe, persistently low mortgage rates and the low likelihood of additional stimulus measures in the politically-charged 2012 election season are all expected to play a role in holding 2012s economic growth to the same sluggish levels as in 2011.
As a recent analysis by forecasting giant Kiplinger suggests:
Data will show that the economy grew at an annual rate of 3% or more in the last quarter of 2011 but that the pace will slow again early in 2012 and pick up only slightly by the end of the year. A sustained recovery is still not under way, more than two years after the end of the Great Recession.
However, these predictions arent all doom and gloom, as the same report anticipates that both business sales and retail spending will increase by 6% in 2012. As job creation expands and businesses again become willing to invest in new equipment, inventory and large scale capital projects, it is likely that consumer spending and overall economic health indicators will continue to improve, even if this doesnt occur at the pace some analysts would prefer.
Overall, Credit Card City anticipates seeing a stronger buying environment than has been present in the past few years, as a result of both improving employment opportunities and a loosening of the credit access restrictions that have prevented many consumers from accessing capital in the past. For more information on the specific types of credit that may be available as well as regular updates on the financial sector and credit trends visit the Credit Card City website.

SEO Positive Launches Conversion Rate Optimisation Services
(PRWEB UK) 23 December 2011
More and more businesses are tuning in to the opportunities of the web and investing in a brand new site. According to a recent survey carried out by Infogroup, 60% of businesses questioned considered their website to be a somewhat important or very important marketing tool for their company, and its clear that setting up shop on the internet is now taking more precedence over traditional off-line advertising methods.
However, many of these companies may find that their website doesnt provide their business with the monetary boost it so desperately needs, and this is likely to be because they are experiencing low conversion rates. A conversion could mean anything in the eyes of each individual company many describe a conversion as a direct sale, whereas others would simply aim to increase the number of enquiries they are receiving. The aim of a website is to encourage consumers to get in touch, but if this doesnt seem to be happening, the conversion rate may be improved by implementing a number of changes to the site itself.
SEO Positive, a digital marketing agency specialising in SEO and conversion rate optimisation (CRO), understands that sites can be experiencing very high abandonment rates for a number of reasons, and is now proud to offer a comprehensive CRO review and recommendation service that seeks to turn a low-performing websites into an invaluable source of revenue for their clients.
Dave Damhar, an account manager and site analyst at the company, has extensive experience within the CRO field and stresses the importance of seeking professional help to determine exactly why a website isnt performing at its best.
There are a number of things you may be able to address in-house, but you cant approach your CRO with a trial-and-error attitude, Dave explains. Without a site review and a bespoke CRO strategy from the experts, your company could potentially be missing out on a world of opportunities, so theres really no time to waste.
Dave goes on to explain that its incredibly important for business owners to think in the shoes of their consumer and approach CRO with an outside perspective. Youre likely to be so caught up in the day to day running of your business that you find it hard to think outside the box. Our job as a CRO agency is to present you with new ideas and opinions that are based on a broader view of your market sector.
SEO Positive will be launching their conversion rate optimisation services in early 2012 and are now inviting all prospective clients to get in touch with their sales team for more information.
