The Word Is Disgusted, NOT “Disappointing”

Obama is a liar. His administration is made up of liars. There has been NO truth spoken about the economy, and no, this is NOT Bush’s fault! Dude, pull up your big boy pants, and admit it……. YOU SUCK! You have NO idea how to run a lemonade stand, much less the economy of the United States of America! Socialism does not work. It has never worked, and it will never work. Wake up people! If this is the “change” you were looking for, there is no “hope”!

Weak Economy Disappoints Again
The Foundry

Every day, America waits for a brighter future to arrive — the promise of change that President Barack Obama made in 2009 when he set a benchmark for his success on the economy, remarking, “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” More than three years later, very little has changed. As today’s jobs report shows, the U.S. economy only added 115,000 jobs in April — well below expectations and far, far below what is necessary to drive the economy back to full employment.

Lackluster employment results dominate today’s report. It’s been three years under the Obama policies, and 12.5 million Americans remain out of work. No demographic group except black workers saw an improvement in their unemployment rate, and 13 percent of black workers remain unemployed. What’s more, the labor force participation fell to the lowest level since 1981 at 63.6 percent. Americans are fleeing this economy when at this stage workers should be returning to the labor force.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. While little has changed with the economy, little has changed in President Obama’s failed policies. Rampant federal spending continues unchecked; the debt continues to grow; a monstrous tax hike is set to hit Americans on January 1, 2013, infecting the economy with renewed and debilitating uncertainty, and the country’s energy policy remains in shambles.

A History Lesson – January 3, 2007

Whether or not you like Bush 43, facts are facts! There are some who would love to change history to suit their agenda, but thankfully, there are enough of us who know the truth, and will do our utmost to keep the facts in the foreground!

The day the Democrats took over was not January 20, 2009, it was actually January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For those who are listening to liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this:

On January 3, 2007, the day the Democrats took control of Congress:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies had SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember that day…?

January 3rd, 2007 was the day Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!  THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney), for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy. Barney blocked it and called it a “Chicken Little Philosophy”, but…the sky did fall!)

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac?  OBAMA!!!

And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?  OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!

So when someone tries to blame Bush…  REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!

Bush may have been in the car, but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel while they were driving the economy into the ditch. Budgets are not passed in the White House. They are passed by Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 (until the 2010 election and the Republicans took the majority in the House) is the Democrat Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009, as well as 2010 & 2011. Obama has now gone more than 1,000 days without a budget, and is still blaming it on the Republicans! In that first year, Congress had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending when Bush, somewhat belatedly, got tough on spending increases.

For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed “Lame Duck President” George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of those massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself and a Democratic Congress.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is: “I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I expanded that deficit four-fold since January 20th 2009.”

Of course, the left will do all they can to silence the truth, but as Jesus said in John 8:32, “…And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

“The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.”

Buffett Rule 101
The Foundry

President Obama traveled to Florida yesterday to distract the nation from its real problems by laying out his case for the Buffett Rule, a plan to drastically raise taxes on successful Americans and small businesses. The core of his argument is that the rich aren’t paying their fair share. It makes for great populist rhetoric, especially when families are hurting and angry under today’s high unemployment, but the result is terrible policy. Worse, it’s a distraction from the big issues facing the nation, like the deficit, the economy, jobs, gas prices, health care, and on and on, none of which are addressed by the President’s proposals, and none of which he wants to talk about.

Will the President’s tax hike at least tackle the country’s fiscal problems? No, it won’t.

According to a recent analysis by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the Buffett Rule would raise a mere $47 billion over ten years. Meanwhile, President Obama’s budget calls for adding $6.7 trillion to the national debt. That means that the Buffett Rule will only cover one half of one percent of the President’s new spending. Soaking the rich cannot get deficits down, only spending reductions can do that.

When it comes to the biggest problem America is facing — a weak economy and high unemployment — the Buffett Rule would weaken the economy and make matters worse. Heritage’s J.D. Foster and Curtis Dubay write that the tax would fall most heavily on job creators (who pay taxes at the individual rate) and confiscate their resources that would otherwise be used to start new businesses, grow existing businesses, and hire more workers. As a result, economic growth will slow down right along with job creation.

Playing Politics With OUR Money


 
In this clip, you see a stark contrast between 43 and 44. Then they slap up a poll and tell us folks would trust Romney more with the economy, and Obama more to protect the middle class. :? Well, which is it? I’m getting a very sinking feeling…one I’ve had, day after day, after day, after day…starting on the night of November 4, 2008. We really are a nation of morons!

Without those evil rich folks, there would be no middle class. Is that Obama’s intent? To completely destroy those of us in the ‘middle class’. Personally, I don’t see myself of any ‘class’. I’m an American, and I want and need, what is best for the country as a whole. When the rich do well, the rest of us do well. With one exception….those who have been feeding off the teat of the taxpayers, from one generation to the next.

IF Mitt Romney is the nominee, and IF he is able to take the White House from the Marxist in chief, I expect to see a much quicker turn around in the economy, with private sector job growth. I say IF because I seriously doubt the unions, and that a foreign owned company (Spain) will let our votes actually count.  Just who decided a foreign company could, or would, ensure that our elections would fair?  This is a FOREIGN company…not a U.S. company, that, IMHO, would do its utmost to make sure ever vote counts.  I am at the point where I don’t believe Obama will allow himself to be defeated, by whatever means necessary. There will be voter fraud out the wazoo, and of course, that useless piece of crap holding the highest law enforcement office in the land will turn a blind eye, just like he has done, time and time again. It wouldn’t surprise me one single bit if the head honchos at the DOJ are sitting in their ‘ivory towers’ right now, coming up with plans to basically steal the election from the American people.

Obama is not a leader. He is a campaigner. That’s what he does, day in, day out.  He is incapable of reason and logic.  He’s been campaigning since he managed to steal the Senate seat back in 2006, and evidently, he doesn’t know how to be a leader. All those ‘campaign promises’? Hot air from an empty suit. I was willing to give him a chance. Well, he had his chance, and he blew it! He has succeeded in one area though….the ‘blame game’. You see, none of his worthless policies have worked to turn the economy around, so, naturally, it’s someone else’s fault. “BUSH DID IT!” After 3 1/2 years, don’t you think it’s time for him to pull up his big boy pants, and take responsibility for his own actions?

To quote Charlie Sykes:  Life isn’t fair, get over it!  Everyone has the same opportunities to succeed.  It’s our choice whether or not we make use of those opportunities.  Success isn’t counted in dollar signs.  Success is what you do with your life, if you are happy, if you have filled that huge hole in your life, if you share joy with others, if your respect yourself, and raise your children to be productive, to respect themselves, and look toward yourself to meet your own goals.  THAT is success!

Apparently, the current occupant of the White House has never understood exactly what America, and Americans, stand for.   He was not raised in the country during his formative years, and those ‘role models’ he had while growing up, obviously didn’t understand the concept of liberty whatsoever.  They were incapable of understanding the principles taught in the Bible, and having a ‘pastor’ such a Jeremiah Wright was no help in setting him on the path of Truth.  He obviously has no idea what the true meaning of both the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution.  The warped sense of self is great in ‘the ONE’.  And he is obviously unfamiliar with the word ‘NO’.

Keep your powder dry!

This Is A “Recovery”?

Obama Economy Leaves Little Unchanged
The Foundry

America is at a crossroads. Today’s jobs report shows that two years into recovery the U.S. economy is still woefully underperforming, adding only 120,000 new jobs in March, about half the rate of job growth of the previous three months which were, themselves, somewhat disappointing for this stage of recovery.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the jobs report is the extent to which the labor market was “little changed,” an impression the report returns to repeatedly. For example, the unemployment rate at 8.2 percent, still two full percentage points higher than the peak during the 2001 recession, was “little changed.” Other examples, with italics added:

The ‘Do Nothing’ Senate – 1,064 Days

While the House has pass bill after bill, addressing some of our biggest problems, there is a certain senator from Nevada who has closed the door, locked it, and thrown away all the keys that might help our economy get back on track. For this reason, the Republicans need…MUST…take control of both houses. While some Republicans are no better than Do Nothing Reid (formerly known as Runnin’ Reid) at least we know that Republicans are capable of coming up with some common sense solutions. It is going to take some drastic measures to get off the track to socialism, and back on the track of freedom, and there will be whining. Let them whine! The spending has got to stop, and we have got to become responsible for our own well being through blood, sweat and tears if need be. As I told Rep Blackburn at her last townhall here, it’s the House that controls the purse strings, why are they not slapping some big hands and slamming the lid shut on the cookie jar?

Another Vision to Solve the Budget Crisis
The Foundry

While Washington’s eyes are focused on the historic Obamacare hearings at the Supreme Court, work continues across the street in the House of Representatives where some Members of Congress — though not all — are doing their best to clean up Washington’s budgetary mess.

It has now been 1,064 days since the U.S. Senate passed a budget, the national debt is nearing $16 trillion, and the deficit is at $3 trillion. In the face of this mess, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) yesterday unveiled its plan to balance the budget in five years, and it does so with entitlement reforms, sharp and aggressive spending cuts, avoiding tax hikes, including pro-growth tax reform, and providing for a strong national defense.

Fiscal Foolishness

A Budget to Save the American Dream
The Foundry

America’s fiscal condition is dauntingly dismal. The national debt is well on its way to $17 trillion, 13 million Americans are out of work, and the country is stuck in the slowest recovery in the post-war era. Despite Washington bleeding taxpayers dry with reckless overspending, the U.S. Senate has not passed a budget since nearly a year before Apple released the original iPad, leaving the country in a lurch, desperate for leadership in Congress that will bring bold changes and an end to the unconscionable pattern of spending and borrowing.

Last spring, America saw a bright spot emerge from the abyss when Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduced a budget resolution that confronted the twin crises of spending and debt head on. Ryan’s proposal, which passed the House, was a solid step in the right direction — his budget would have gotten spending under control, repealed Obamacare, transformed Medicare, and offered a solid approach to controlling Medicaid’s spiraling costs. Unfortunately, the Senate said “no,” and America watched Washington get stuck in gridlock last summer, only to emerge with a half-baked deal that postponed real reform and put our national security in jeopardy.

The following are 35 shocking statistics that prove that things have gotten worse in America….

#1 Median household income in the United States is down 7.8 percent since December 2007 after adjusting for inflation.

#2 There are 5.6 million less jobs than there were when the last recession began back in late 2007.

#3 The U.S. government says that the number of Americans “not in the labor force” rose by 17.9 million between 2000 and 2011.  During the entire decade of the 1980s, the number of Americans “not in the labor force” rose by only 1.7 million.

#4 In 2007, the unemployment rate for the 20 to 29 age bracket was about 6.5 percent.  Today, the unemployment rate for that same age group is about 13 percent.

#5 In 2007, 73.2 percent of all young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 that were not enrolled in school had jobs.  Today, that number has declined to 65 percent.

#6 Back in the year 2000, more than 50 percent of all Americans teens had a job.  This past summer, only 29.6% of all American teens had a job.

A Disappointing Recovery Leaves Americans Suffering
The Foundry

In the Super Tuesday primary, the economy was the number one issue on voters’ minds, be they in Massachusetts, Georgia, Ohio, or Virginia. And that wasn’t because they were happy about high unemployment and slow wage growth. Yet according to President Barack Obama, “the economy is getting stronger, and the recovery is speeding up.” Of course, these things are relative. A disappointing recovery is underway. It just hasn’t touched the millions of Americans who remain out of work, the millions more whose wages can’t keep up with inflation, and it doesn’t offset the effects of high gas prices on family budgets.

Voters’ old-fashioned common sense about the economy was backed up by the numbers in the February jobs report just released this morning. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy added 227,000 jobs last month. That’s the good news, and it does evidence that the recovery continues, albeit slowly. And this slow-trot recovery is why the unemployment rate remains at 8.3 percent, while the number of long-term unemployed workers remained at 5.4 million, accounting for 42.6 percent of the unemployed.

Found this chart over at Red State. If you click on the itty bitty, you will get a bigger picture. Click on the bigger one and you a REAL BIG PICTURE, so you can see the months and such.

Now, I don’t know about you, but this chart tells me a whole lot. First off, we all know the government is lying about the employment numbers. They don’t count the people who are underemployed, or those who have just finally given up. Although, if you look at the number of people who are now getting some sort of government assistance, you would get a clearer picture of what is really going on.

The stimulus bill, better known as Crap Sandwich, or Porkulus, did what to stimulate the economy? Hmmm… Not a damn thing as best I can tell. The lie of ‘shovel ready jobs’ has finally been admitted by the Liar in Chief. He’s really good at lying. And unfortunately, there are still way too many who haven’t bothered to pull their heads out of his hind end to actually see the BIG picture.

Now, looking at this chart, we have a section titled ‘recession’. Then the arrow continues to do a major dip. What do they call that? What comes after recession if there are no jobs, and very high real number unemployment. I dunno….I would think it would be called a ‘depression’. Now, I’m not an economist, by any stretch of the imagination, but I have enough smarts to know bullsh*t when I see it. And that’s we have here ladies and gentlemen. A very large, steaming pile of caca de toro!

Labor Market Contracts by 1.2 Million People, Zero Hedge Reports

The labor market contracted by 1.2 million people in a month, according to research from Zero Hedge, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

The government reports that the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in January from 8.5 percent in December as the economy has added a net 243,000 nonfarm payrolls to the economy.

However, those who quit looking for work aren’t counted as part of the total labor force, which also isn’t accurately reflecting population growth, which basically allowed the government to yank 1.2 million out of the labor force in January.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this administration would just tell the truth for a change? I know…. I’m asking the impossible!  What are the REAL numbers?  They can tell us the unemployment rate has dropped to 8.3%, but that doesn’t make it true.  How about counting ALL the people who are out of work, who have given up because there are no jobs in their field, and are now having to take government aid?  But then, isn’t that what this administration wants?  As many people dependent on the government as possible.  The ruinous policies of the Obama administration has sunk this country so far into debt, in all likelihood, no matter who wins in 2012, the ability to reverse the damage will be almost impossible in one term.  However, giving Obama and his machine a second ‘chance’, will do even MORE damage!

Like it or not, Newt Gingrich is right. Barack Obama IS ‘The Food Stamp President’. If, as he claims, our economy is SO much better, why are there so many people depending on the government for a hand out? Hmmm…???? Because Obama flat out lies, that’s why!  Those who are disputing the statement aren’t looking at the numbers.  And as we all know…numbers don’t lie.  They can be manipulated, but they don’t lie!  And FYI….the color of the recipients skin is totally irrelevant! The fact that AMERICANS have been pushed into poverty by Obama’s policies IS!

Finally, as for the question of race — which has ignited some of the backlash against Gingrich — about 34 percent of beneficiaries are white, 22 percent are black, 17 percent Hispanic, 7 percent Asian or Native American, and 20 percent “race unknown.” (source)

It’s Not Your “Job”!

How ‘Job Creators’ Are Fighting Back
by John Stossel

Some politicians claim that politicians create jobs.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says, “My job is to create jobs.”

What hubris! Government has no money of its own. All it does is take from some people and give to others. That may create some jobs, but only by leaving less money in the private sector for job creation.

Actually, it’s worse than that. Since government commandeers scarce resources by force and doesn’t have to peddle its so-called services on the market to consenting buyers, there’s no feedback mechanism to indicate if those services are worth more to people than what they were forced to go without.

The only people who create real, sustainable jobs are in private businesses — if they’re unsubsidized.

Please read the whole column here.

I am constantly baffled by the Democrat politicians.  There is no logic in their way of thinking.  I’m not really sure where they got the idea that government was a job creator, when in truth, they are a job killer!  Between Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and B. Hussein, more jobs have been killed than in my memory.  They have not learned from their own mistakes, much less those of others.

That absurd ‘stimulus’ bill that was suppose to stimulate the economy and get Americans working again, did nothing of the sort.  It took money from us, and gave it to people who would be obligated to the government, not the hard working Americans whose pockets were picked.  And the majority of our money went for some of the most ridiculous things known to mankind. $219,779,694,062 was given out in grants. Grants, not loans….GRANTS.  Not one penny will ever have to be returned to the tax payers.  They call this ‘creating jobs’?  There are more than 10,000 pages of grants on their website.  A great many were handed out by the Department of Eduction, and the Department of Labor.  Why was so much handed out to the union thugs at SEIU?  That speaks volumes!

  Click to embiggen, or go to the source.

Along with some seriously “blue states”, it also appears Governor Perry’s state received quite a chunk of change, as well.  Just sayin’.  :?

We were told that the unemployment rate would never go above 8%.  Problem is, it hasn’t gone BELOW 8% pretty much since Obama has been in office.  The major decline started when the Democrats took over the House and the Senate in 2006.  The only reason that it has now dropped below 9% is because people have given up looking, they are no longer applying for unemployment, so aren’t counted in the Department of Labor’s statistics. The REAL number of unemployed, or under employed is closer to 22%.

Corporations, as a whole, are NOT evil.  Corporations were created by men and women who risked everything to get a company going, to hire people, to provide services and goods for the consumers, which in turn grows said business, and creates more jobs.  It really isn’t that complicated.  If a little ol’ broad, sitting in her jammies in Podunk Tennessee can figure this out, why is it those over paid, over educated bozos in Washington D.C. can’t?

Are some corporations ‘evil’?  No, but the people who run them may very well be!  I understand business ethics is no longer a requirement for a business degree, or a law degree either.  Hmm…  Makes you wonder, doesn’t it!  There are people who believe they are allowed to take money from businesses, and put it their own pocket.  Hopefully, the majority of them end up in jail, as they are stealing from the employees and the stock holders who put their faith in a feckless weasel.

On the other hand, there are corporations that started out as a small family business.  The business grew thanks to the ethical behavior of it’s owners.  They employed more and more people, the company turned into a big corporation, and that big corporation in turn, employees a WHOLE lot of people.  As long as unions don’t get their fingers in the pie, odds are, with smart management, that corporation will continue to grow and continue to employee hundreds, or even thousands of people.

So Mr Reid, if you are serious about creating jobs, would you kindly GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, and allow private businesses to do what they do best!  I have found nothing in the Constitution that states the Senate has the power, or duty, to create jobs.  Nope…not your job at all!

Obama’s Vision: Total Destruction of America!

Why Would Obama Veto Job Creation?
The Foundry

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill that would, among other things, open the door for the creation of thousands of new jobs, prevent a tax hike on American workers, and help reduce the crippling deficit. However, President Barack Obama has promised that he would bring the legislation to a halt with a veto—all because of his opposition the single measure in the bill that would create jobs.

What’s so offensive that would cause the President to level a veto threat? A provision in H.R. 3630, the “Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011,” that would provide for the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline project that would bring oil from Canada. Heritage’s Nicolas Loris explains that it would mean “access to easy imports from our northern neighbor, the creation of thousands of jobs, and the generation of revenue for the states where the pipeline passes. Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas are collectively projected to collect $5.2 billion in property tax revenue as a result of building the pipeline.”

Obama: Limited Gov’t That Preserves Free Markets ‘Doesn’t Work. It Has Never Worked’

In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets “speaks to our rugged individualism” as Americans, such a system “doesn’t work” and “has never worked” and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.

“‘[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. ‘The market will take care of everything,’ they tell us,” said Obama. “If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes–especially for the wealthy–our economy will grow stronger.

That certain crowd would likely be the crowd that actually KNOWS something about how the economy works.  Where as, YOU have never held a REAL job in your life, so are about as clueless as a four year old in an operating room cutting into a patient’s brain!

“It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression,” said Obama. “It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.

I guess he was never a student of REAL history. Otherwise, he would have heard of the “roaring 20s”. We could have had a depression, but we didn’t. It wasn’t until the government started fiddling around that TSHTF!  The 50s were a great decade.  Eisenhower got out of the way.  Along comes LBJ, and everything starts going downhill from there.  Great Society?  What a load of caca de toro!  The 60s and 70s brought us union stupidity, and the price of EVERYTHING jumped dramatically.  And more government intervention.

“Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history,” said Obama. “And what did it get us? The slowest job growth in half a century. Massive deficits that have made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach and stay in the middle class==things like education and infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security.

If the government doesn’t stop spending money that, 1- they don’t have, and 2- isn’t theirs, then yeah… we are going to have major issues. I will repeat this again…slowly…. IT….IS…..NOT…..YOUR…..MONEY!

He should have just come out and said it, in plain English…. “I am a COMMUNIST!”
