The problem is that Obama isn't turning the economy at all. It's continuing on its current trajectory.
Yeah, I can get behind that senitment
I'm not especially thrilled with what he's doing either. But let me ask you, did you call it class warfare when Bush II gave the richest people in the world enormous tax cuts?
I think you probably did not.
But that is no less CLASS WARFARE than Obam's mistken notion that we need to solve the national debt by increasing taxes on the aflluent and stupendously wealthy.
Both were/are BAD ideas for the times in which they were/will be initiated
It's not my fault your lives are miserable, it's those rich people.
Why?
Why add that silly non sequitur when you had been making so much sense?
To the last point first, if that is what the Big 0 reapeats every time he gets a microphone in his hand, it's not a nonsequitor. It is the National Position of the United States of America. Well, okay, it might still be a nonsequitor.
Okay political hyperbole is what it is, I guess.
Giving a tax cut to everone is not favoritism. If that includes the rich, then it does. The last time I checked, a rich person and a poor person both meet the cut me and I bleed standard of humanity.
Giving a tax cut of a pennies to one group and billions to another is the net outcome of the Bush II tax policies. Telling yourself that that is fair, is one approach, I suppose. Or screaming that is class warfar anoher approach. Whatever you call it, however you describe it, the OUTCOMES of it are apparent.
However, allowing the rich to avoid a tax that the rest of us are forced to pay is favoritism. Why do the rich stop contributing to Social Security after the top end limit of about 105,000 dollars of income?
That's a reasonable question.
Perhaps the answer is that because Social Security payments ALSO have a top limit?
Also, allowing anyone to avoid Federal tax altogether is a travesty. That, also, is favoritism.
If by favoritism you mean "One cannot squeeze blood out of a stone" I guess I can live with that.
Does the Big 0 own these numbers? Yes, he does.
ACtually no he doesn't. Both those complaints you just mentioned existed BEFORE he took office. They also existed before BUSH II took office.
He has spent about 5 Trillion of the Nation's wealth to change these numbers and all he has done is worsen them. He is clueless and inept and he does not know what he's trying to do, how to to accomplish what he needs to do and who might aid him in getting it done.
I'm not ENTIRELY on board with the sentiment
all he has done is worsen them
Take this months employment numbers for example. The private secotor is making SOME jobs. Most of the LOST jobs that are happening are actually coming out of the PUBLIC sector.
Now remind me, who wants to eliminate jobs in the public sectors? The Rs or the Ds?
He attacks potential allies and supports real enemies of what should be his goals.
He is failing to make things better while he is achieving implementation of each and every one of his tractics.
He is a chef who thinks cyanide is a flavor enhancer.
I cannot respond to your impressions of what is going on.
When it comes to personal fact free opinions there really is no point in debate.
If you want to agument any of those opinions with facts to support them we can discuss them.
