Obama: could add 1 million new U.S. jobs

See, every other thing he's tried has failed to add jobs, and in fact, lost them.

So, in a flash of pure sanity, he's going to do the exact same things.

But THIS time, it will WORK.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Okay now I am really ticked off at the media and Obama.

Brand new headline on drudge about MORE SECRET DETAILS RELEASED about the idiot’s PLAN to save everyone.

IT IS THE SAME THING HE ALREADY DID AND FAILED AT.
A NEW? program to give FHA home buyers mortgage relief.
How flipping stupid do they think we are?

Mortgage freaking relief for FHA home buyers ALL OF THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY filed for this and got they’re homes paid off while they sit at home on they’re lazy asses and collect all of the Obama free money,new windows,cell phones.They are sitting in they’re homes right now with they’re home PAID IN FULL BY US watching low life court TV and Jerry Springer on a 73 inch 3D TV and now the idiot Obama wants to give them another hundred grand.I COULD SCREAM!

I don't think it could be pointed out enough. The United States government is presently spending 25% of the GDP, 12% of the GDP in borrowed money, vs a GDP ‘growth’ of 3%. That means that the federal government is floating 9% of the GDP.

Can the feds spend more and create jobs? Sure. Problem is, that's borrowed money. The cost of those jobs is either lowering the value of the dollar by printing more, or lowering the value of the dollar by borrowing more. Every single one of those jobs will lower the value of every one else’s job.

And of course, all of these will be ‘good paying jobs’ with likely benefits packages that nearly equal that good salary in the first place.

Cut federal spending so the dollar value stops falling, cut taxes so that there's more money in the system to go towards making new jobs, and ax the minimum wage and ObamaCare so it is between the employer and the employee how the job is compensated, and you'll add those million jobs in a short time.

And while you're at it, chop through the earned income tax credit and other tax credits that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. It's a disincentive to get a decent job; you can earn more in benefits by just making the minimum and then sit back on your food stamps and unemployment and earned income tax credit and float through the year.

“Obama: could add 1 million new U.S. jobs”

Or.... Michelle could go on another vacation in September.
Or....another illegal alien Obama relative could surface in the U.S.
Or....Joe Biden could visit Pakistan where he praises the tradition of honor killings.
Or....Obama could set a new record for teleprompters used in a single speech.

Which do you think is more likely?

[null and void]

I could create a million jobs

But I won't...

Obaba’s new million person “Homeland Security Army”, dedicated to fighting domestic racism, jailing and seizing assets of his political non-supporters, and terrorists (white, conservative, Christians).

1st one million applicants hired.

Sexual assault security scans to be done daily, everywhere...particularly at the doors of Christian churches, elementary schools, Post Offices, and grocery stores.

There! One million new jobs created.

Bernanke prints the money out of thin air to pay all.

Brilliant!

The last trillion or whatever stimulus did what?

In our neighborhood, the public roads keep deteriorating. Potholes, cracked pavement.....

What happened to all that gas tax money that is supposed to pay for roads?
