Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record

[tjvh]

Still April. And the economy seems to be all that the GOP has. And even that is doubtful. Definately doing better than when Bush handed it over to Obama.

This chart may suggest otherwise:

Republicans Portend November Massacre​

"The news that Mitt Romney is reportedly irked by Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) cheerleading for the state economy while the national Republican Party tries to portray President Obama’s America as a nightmarish depression should come as no shock to Scott Walker. The Republican governor, who has also touted job growth in Wisconsin, warned last week at a breakfast with reporters that the uptick in some swing-state economies could be a serious obstacle to defeating the president."

Made In U.S.A.
For OBVIOUS Reasons​

"For Unilife, moving production to the U.S. helped it win regulatory approval for an important product: prefilled syringes with retractable needles that make it almost impossible for medical personnel to accidentally stick themselves. Although the company used Chinese manufacturers for earlier offerings, syringes preloaded with medications are subject to stringent U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules. So in March 2011, Unilife began making its syringes at a $32 million, 165,000-square-foot plant it built in York, Pa. “The very thing in the U.S.A. that oftentimes we complain about—the complexity of the rules and the regulations—works for us,” says CEO Alan Shortall. “FDA compliance is the main reason we’re here.”

Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record

He is correct

 

[Nova78]

I disagree... Obama will most assuredly tout his record of $16,000,000,000,000 debt, $1,500,000,000,000 deficits, inflation, 40,000,000+ under or unemployed, housing markets in the shitter, 1/6 of Americans on public assistance, worthless US $, $5 gas, Solyndra, Solar Power, bailouts, Fast and Furious, Obamacare, etc.

Why wouldn't he.. what'd you think, he'd blame this all on Bush?

Obama has destroyed this Country....

Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record

And?

Given Boehner’s failure as Speaker, that’s in no way convincing; particularly since the House bears most of the responsibility for failing to take action to address jobs and the economy.

Holy crap, neither party can crow about their economic record. They have BOTH spent us into this mess.

Tesla Motors Begins Delivering​

"Tesla Motors on Friday rolled out the first Model S luxury sedans for customers, a milestone that many hope could rev up the entire electric car industry and help return high-end manufacturing jobs to California.

Gov. Jerry Brown, who was greeted with wild cheers, called the rollout "another example of California on the move -- cutting-edge technology picking up where others left off. It takes courage, a lot of risk-taking, a lot of money."

Swinging back at those who say California, mired in debt, has lost its footing, Brown said, "All of you are part of the state that is leading the country, if not the world. This car is another example of (that) boldness."

Tesla's pricey sedans, which sell for between $57,400 and $77,400 before government rebates, are aimed at those with relatively deep pockets. But Musk said plans already are under way for Tesla to build a car that will cost less than $30,000 to make electric cars "affordable to the mass market."

Papa ObamaCare...
gigantic regressive new “tax”

By the numbers: 26 million people, 70-75 percent of whom make less than $200,000 a year, are now on the hook for a fat new “tax” thanks to a guy who swore he’d avoid new taxes on the middle class. Be sure to tell an undecided centrist friend before November.​

The majority hate it now
Being a gigantic regressive tax

I'm sure they will only love it better

Will Obamacare Kill Jobs?
No!!!​

"One of the key arguments made by opponents to the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, is that it will kill jobs. The reasoning is that forcing employers to provide insurance for their employees will raise their costs, and that they’ll cover those costs by cutting wages and other compensation, and ultimately by shedding jobs. But is that true?

The nonpartisan Urban Institute decided to find out. It did so by looking at what has happened in Massachusetts, whose health reform law, passed in 2006, is broadly similar. It found no evidence whatsoever that health care reform, and mandated coverage, killed jobs:

"There is no evidence of a more pronounced decline in overall employment in Massachusetts than in the rest of the nation over the 2006-2010 period, nor is there evidence of a more pronounced decline among the small firms, industries, and workers, where such declines would be predicted if health reform had dampened economic growth in the state. Although there are differences in the details between the Massachusetts health reform and the ACA, there are broad similarities that indicate that the impacts could be roughly similar under the ACA. The evidence from Massachusetts would suggest that national health reform does not imply job loss and stymied economic growth."

Business Insider reported:



Here’s where wealthier Americans will feel the effects of Obamacare. As of Jan. 1, 2013, a 3.8 percent surtax will be levied against surplus investments reported by the following groups: single filers reporting $200,000; married couples reporting $250,000; and married couples filing separately reporting $125,000.
In addition to the investment surtax, high-earning households will see their Medicare tax spike by 0.9 percent on their earned income, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. The tax will apply to individuals earning more than $200,000 and married couples filing jointly who make more than $250,000. It goes into effect Jan. 1, 2013.
Consumer penalties: Part of the controversy surrounding health care reform was that the law would mandate coverage for all Americans on pain of penalties. Those penalties will be tiered and rise over a three-year period that kicks off in 2014, according to the National Association of Consumer Protection:
2014: Families––$285 or 1 percent of total household income, whichever is greater. Individual adults––$95.
2015: Families––$975 or 2 percent of income, whichever is greater. Individual adults––$325.
2016: Families––$2,085 or 2.5 percent of income, whichever is greater. Individual adults––$695.
If you’re not covered by your employer, you’ll have to pick from a list of government-mandated health insurance packages (they’ll be called “exchanges”, with options for individuals and businesses provided at the state level). Some exceptions do apply, including low-income families who can prove financial hardship.
Flex spending account limits: In addition to capping Flexible spending accounts at $2,500 in 2013, new rules limiting what you can buy with flex accounts will remain. They’ve been effective since Jan. 2011 and apply to OTC medications unless you have a prescription, excluding the following: “Insulin, even if purchased without a prescription, or other health care expenses such as medical devices, eye glasses, contact lenses, co-pays and deductibles,” per the IRS.
Employee health coverage: Part of the Affordable Care Act’s intent is to ensure that businesses choose low-cost plans, which it hopes to accomplish by levying an excise tax on plans that cost more than $10,200 per individual or $27,500 per family. That provision isn’t in effect until Jan. 1, 2018.
“The threshold amounts may be adjusted upwards if health care costs rise more than expected prior to implementation of the tax in 2018,” Kaiser notes. “The threshold amounts will be increased for firms that may have higher health care costs because of the age or gender of their workers.”
Pharmaceutical industry: Pharmaceutical manufacturers will see a spike in annual government fees. Much like penalties against consumers, these fees will be levied on a tiered schedule beginning in 2012, according to Kaiser.
– $2.8 billion in 2012-2013;
– $3.0 billion in 2014-2016;
– $4.0 billion in 2017;
– $4.1 billion in 2018; and
– $2.8 billion in 2019 and later.

Boehner says Obama can't run on economic record | US National Headlines | Comcast

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) says President Barack Obama can't run for re-election on his economic record so his campaign will "pull out every bogey man that they can."

The Ohio Republican tells CBS News that he and Obama were close to a deal to break the budget stalemate when Obama "lost his courage."Boehner says he agreed to raise revenue by overhauling the tax code and Obama initially accepted changes in entitlement programs. Instead, the speaker says, Obama ended up advocating higher tax rates for the wealthy.

Boehner says he believes former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is well prepared for the general election "and will appeal to more than half of America." He predicts Obama "is going to make the election about anything other than his failed economic policies."

Obama can certainly run on the economy. Romney has nothing to offer except I'm not Obama. He's a liberal trying to be a conservative and not doing a very good job of it.

Job Growth Accelerating​

"The labor market will strengthen significantly next year, with monthly job growth expected to average 200,000, according to a new survey published on Monday.

The National Association for Business Economics forecast the unemployment rate at 7.5 percent by the end of 2013.

The survey of 54 economists painted a fairly upbeat picture of the labor market, which has slowed in recent months after job creation surged early in the year.

"Economists continue to see things pick up, even if it's just slightly from pretty low levels," said Shawn DuBravac, NABE outlook survey and chief economist at the Consumers Electronics Association.

The survey, conducted between April 19 and May 2, forecast nonfarm payroll increases averaging 188,000 per month this year and the unemployment rate at 8.0 percent by the fourth quarter."

One out of every four jobs in the United States pays $10 an hour or less at this point.

Hope and Change

And if Republicans had their way, there would be no minimum wage and that $10/hour would probably be $7/hour.
