Obama Said to Be Open to Creative Ideas for Fighting Unemployment

A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 5 December 2009 | John Semmens

[John Semmens]

President Barack Obama asserted that he “will consider any and every proposal that’s put to me” in search of a way to get Americans back to work.

One idea that the President attributed to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner would entail the Federal Reserve creating a trillion dollars of new money. This money would be placed inside an abandoned coal mine. The mine would be dynamited. The government would then accept bids from private contractors and select one to dig up the money.

“I think it’s ingenious,” the President said. “The cost to the government to implement this plan is negligible. Creating money is a snap for the Federal Reserve. Placing the money in the mine and blowing up the shaft probably won’t even cost a billion dollars.”

“The funds coming in from the successful bidder will help reduce the current budget deficit,” Obama went on. “The expenses of the digging will pump money into the economy. The wages paid to workers will trickle down to the consumer sector. Then, when the diggers get to the buried money they will report a profit. Some of that will be shared with stockholders. Some will be paid in taxes. I can’t see any negatives to this idea.”

Geithner humbly denied full credit for the idea, saying that the ploy was suggested by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s as a way to get men back to work during the Great Depression. “I’m just a conduit for passing on the wisdom of this renowned economic sage to a new generation,” Geithner insisted.

how about a tax cut?

[manc]

did he go to church today?

Has he fired that pervert who promotes fisting and homosexual sex in our school?

He’s only open to what SEIU and other unions say not what the chamber of commerce of small business owners say unless they gave him a lot of money for this election(cult like dopes)

[2banana]

Like cutting government spending, tax cuts and less regulations?

[Huskrrrr]

"President Barack Obama asserted that he “will consider any and every proposal that’s put to me” in search of a way to get Americans back to work."

RESIGN

[Soothesayer]

Obama open to creative ideas for spending ridiculous amounts of money.

[Jagdgewehr]

LOL

There is also another dark hole Hussein 0bama can stick his socialist agenda in.

[SumProVita]

Actually...he said “demonstrably good proposals.” You cannot demonstrate common sense to one without it.

“The first effect of not believing in God, is that you lose your common sense.” GK Chesterton

(I hold the honest opinion that Obama does not really believe in God.)

Anything: Except asking knowledgeable folks (obviously, nobody on
his staff): What Would Reagan Do?

I’ve be suprised to not hear a chorus of Republicans on TV saying:
Dear Mr. President, unless you want to grab “The Worst President
Ever” title from Jimmy Carter (or maybe Franklin Pierce), just do
what Ronald Reagan did to save the economy that he “inherited”.

Of course, a President who wants “to spread the wealth around”
would never take the rational course of Ronald Reagan, Art Laffer, etc.

how about a tax cut?

Better idea: Resign!

0bama can say all he wants about being open to solving the unemployment problems. But to do that he has to admit, which he never will, that it is the right of the American citizen to strive to acheive personal wealth and since he believes only he and his nobles in the Congress are entitled to any sort of personal wealth and the rest of us only are entitled to the allowance we serfs are entitled to despite the fact the funds are earned by the sweat of OUR brows,that won't happen. There are no incentives for employers now to hire people..if they do it will only be part time employment. Otherwise, without the ability through tax cuts to improve their businesses, to be able to expand in order to hire more employees, this won't happen.

By the way, on an aside from this topic I got a call today from a Brit friend in the UK who made the remark” Have you noticed in your video news that more and more of the Secret Service guarding 0bama are now black whereas before it was an assortment of people?” Anyone else notice this?

I thought his star-studded economic team was more than capable enough to address the unemployment issue.

This isn’t a desire for Obama to ‘hear’ ideas. He knows what to do, he just can’t do it because, like every Pseudo-Commie Liberal he likes taxing EVERYONE, spending outrageous sums of money that we can’t pay back and giving us onerous regulations.

Obama already knows what is necessary. Laissez-Faire Capitalism is heresy to him, though.

[celtic gal]

Zero subscribes to the Cloward Previn school of destruction of a capitalist nation and recreating a commie nation...create crisis then move in when there is so much angst that no one has the strength or where with all to stop you. How I despise this man.

Yeah, Id take that, but Biden would be president, and lord knows who he would nominate for VP..

[RatRipper]

I got a creative idea:

B*tch slap the government back into a little box again.

[wombtotomb]

like 15 posts now. I guess it is getting harder to tell truth from satire....

How I despise this man.

You give him too much credit. He's not a 'man', he's an overgrown narcissistic teenager.

[Bull Man]

Here’s a suggestion - RESIGN!

[all the best]

Laissez-nous faire!

According to historical folklore, the phrase stems from a meeting c. 1680 between the powerful French finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen led by a certain M. Le Gendre. When the eager mercantilist minister asked how the French state could be of service to the merchants, Le Gendre replied simply “Laissez-nous faire” (’Leave us be’, lit. ‘Let us do’).
