Good piece. Read, discuss, debate. Do you agree? For years, a central tenet of the Republican argument has been that on economic issues, Obama is either incompetent or a socialist. It should have been clear from the beginning that he is neither, given that he rescued an economy on the brink of tipping into depression — and in a way that was friendly to Wall Street’s interests. But the GOP rarely lets the facts get in the way of a good story, so attacks on Obama’s economic stewardship have persisted. The numbers we’re seeing now, however, make these charges of incompetence and/or socialism untenable. Even the Affordable Care Act — which Republicans still claim to want to repeal — turned out not to be the job killer that critics imagined. All it has done, aside from making it possible for millions of uninsured Americans to get coverage, is help hold down the costs of medical care, which are rising at the slowest rate in decades.
