Double down on that insanity, Robert. You Marxists can drive us over the cliff even before Labor Day if you just push a little more.
If I was an organ grinder my monkey would look like Robert Reich.
Terms not seen in the media since Jan 09:
McJobs
homeless problem
recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street
The economy and unemployment is being hammered MOSTLY by high fuel prices, onerous Demcratic/Obama regulation, Obama’s business crucifixtion mob, the potential for the Bush tax cuts to expire again, general Democrat/Obama meddling and tinkering in the market place, and the looming possibility of Obamacare surviving. Fix those things and our economy would be on fire in months.
You mean the trillion dollar stimulus and Obamacare went to only the TOP? You Mean All those Shovel ready jobs went to Millionaires and Billionaires? No wonder I didnt get one of those Jobs.
I think the Insurance companies made a Mistake they Sent the renewal for my Healthcare and it went up 2500 dollars! I am going to send a Copy to Obama so he can take care of that error,Im Sure they meant it is a 2500 dollar Decrease.
Why cant these people report the truth that Obama says instead of all these lies,the Press sucks
Good picture; it accurately sums up what taxation has become.
I have been saying since 2008 that the depression would doom Obama to being a one-term wonder, with the economy still way down in November 2012. It didn’t take a genius to see this coming 3 years ago.
3. The debt overhang must be reduced to a manageable level through ongoing deleveraging. Nothing will solve that but a decade or two of time.
Can you find statistics on employment for those over 55? If their employment participation is not dropping then they are not retiring and the losses have to be coming from lost jobs, not retirements.
I agree. The reason Obama is a one-term wonder is because of people’s seat of the pants experience with unemployment and inflation. They don’t care about published economic numbers. All they know is that their 25 year old kid lives at home, the wife lost her mortgage title job and can’t find anything close in pay, and they just got a pink slip. Meanwhile food and gas are up in cost.
Seat of the pants economics will cause the independents to dump Obama this coming election. I won’t call it a landslide, but people are going to vote their pocket books like usual, and Obama will lose by a goodly margin, in the same was as a failing football quarterback hears the crowd screaming for the 2nd string backup. The crowd doesn’t want to hear that the backup QB may suck, they just want a change to anybody else.
This election will be “anybody but Obama”. He’s done.
Sure, Bob, sure. It seems clear to me that 0bama should raise taxes on the middle class. After all, he's stood tall on spending cuts in every budget the country has had over the last three years. Which would be none.
Good idea. I'll see if the numbers are broken out that way anywhere.
Good luck. I find that no factual argument, no matter how clearly documented, ever convinces a liberal. They are straight emotion and you have to make them “feel” your argument, not gleen your analysis. At least that has been my experience.
I have never one single time every laid out a well-supported argument to a liberal and had one say “OK, I can see that now.” Never. The only few times I have ever won arguments with liberals, it has been appealing strictly to their knee-jerk bleeding-heart emotions.
So good luck to you.
“They’re going to be crowing about the 7.something% unemployment rate... and lots of people aren’t going to believe him, because they’ll be looking around their families, neighborhoods, etc and saying “Barry, you’re simply full of crap. I’ve lived through 7% unemployment before... and this ain’t it.”
You’re right; I believe he will lose the election primarily based on the employment situation, and his discredited media won’t be able to do a thing to help him.
“All they know is that their 25 year old kid lives at home, the wife lost her mortgage title job and can’t find anything close in pay, and they just got a pink slip. Meanwhile food and gas are up in cost.”
From your lips to God’s ears; think of all of the people impacted by this that have a lot of motivation to vote him out (and his media can’t convince them otherwise). He will win 25% of the vote, but for politically correct reasons 100% of Americans will have to pretend they voted for our affirmative action token...
“Can you find statistics on employment for those over 55?”
I think this group is in the worst shape; they had “before-times” salaries for their “before-times” standard of living (which included such things as families, homes, cars, etc.), and have been targeted by companies because of their salaries/benefits. I don’t believe that their skills are obsolete, simply because some are finding similar work at “adjusted-down” salaries; today’s younger people are watching the devastation of this group (often their parents’ generation) and those that are able to consider such things economically are swearing off families and homes.
It is a massive wealth re-distribution scheme with frightening consequences.
