Obama: The End of an Error.

[PoliticalChic]

"Obamanomics has produced the weakest, most anemic recovery since the 1930s, when another generation’s big-government planners turned their great recession into the Great Depression. To be fair, President George W. Bush certainly did not give the best economic handoff - he too was addicted to spending - but to be clear, President Obama has unarguably fumbled the ball. He has, to borrow his own phrase, put his “boot on the neck” of American businesses with his increased taxes and regulatory burden; he has grown government with his wildly increased spending and outright take-overs; and he has weakened the dollar with his “quantitative easing” printing press.

The devastation caused by Obamanomics is now undeniable. According to Investors Business Daily, 2 million net private-sector jobs have been lost; unemployment has increased by 1.5 percentage points; long-term unemployment is the worst ever on record; the dollar is 12 percent weaker; the number of Americans on food stamps has increased by 37 percent; the Misery Index (unemployment plus inflation) has increased by 62 percent; and the national debt has exploded by an alarming 40 percent. Mr. Obama is on pace to saddle America with more job-killing debt than all the first 43 presidents - combined.

Almost a century ago, Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt converted a great recession into the Great Depression with their big-government schemes. Similarly today, Mr. Obama has turned our Great Recession into the Obama Depression with his own - now old, tired and discredited - big-government schemes. Meanwhile, Mr. Obama cannot see the obvious lessons of the German Miracle: Unleash the free market, unshackle entrepreneurs and workers from big-government controls and we, the free people of the United States, can rescue our economy and create our own 21st century American Miracle."

What did everybody think was going to happen when you copy the exact playbook from the FDR Depression?

I said this when Obama first proposed the Stimulus: he is copying FDR page for page and wants the same results: years of depression

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Only thing I can disagree with is that we are not in a recovery.
We are in a momentary lapse of reason. And when we wake up...it will be worse than 2008.
Watch.

yup, right after QE 3.

( cannot rep you yet)

FDR is pretty magical, which his ability to start a depression several years before he took office. Also, that German theme is a laugh. Germany didn't see the same rise in unemployment we did during this recession, but their economy is still in very weak shape. They have recovered faster, but they also took a much larger fall. As for the post-Second World War example, you guys are smart enough to figure out why a country that's been flattened with experience rapid growth.

Also, liberals from five years ago called. They want their catch phrase back.

Obama has raised $27 million in one quarter. More than all of the Republican candidates combined. Looks like America still loves the president.

Maybe your lame candidates will learn a little something as well.

The Great Depression is "Great" because of how long it lasted from what I understand. It was not called "The Great Depression" in the first year of the depression, maybe like 8+ years into it... So yes, both Hoover and FDR made the Depression Great as I understand it.

$38,000 + to go to his birthday party the guy better have some money., But unless he buys votes (likely) it wont do much good.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Like every other time you accept Progressive explanations, the phrase the "Great Depression" is an outright lie; it's the FDR Depression. The only reason it's called "Great" is because of the scope and extent to which Progressives were able to inflict their hostile, harmful ideology on the nation as a result of the hard times. There was nothing great about the FDR Depression

Don't forget that democrats had control of congress for the last two years of Bush's 2nd term. It's a reasonable assumption that democrats caused or at least allowed Fannie Mae to collapse just in time for the Obama election. How else do you account for the House Banking Chairman who is the technical supervisor of the partnership between Congress and the banking industry telling Americans that Fannie was solvent and doing fine when it was in fact in iminent danger of collapsing?

 

[St.Blues]

Obama's being told what to do and say.. He and his scumbag bosses are in for a big surprise.
Especially since Hillary verbally agreed to the UN Arms Treaty, Get ready boys. This isn't going to be pretty if the Democrat senate passes it. I see war here at home coming if it does pass.

Average donation, $69. They love the guy.

Messina stressed in his video the small dollar donations--not the $35,800 dinners--stating the average donation was $69, (This number should be $88) "substantially" lower than the average for the 2008 Obama presidential campaign.

UPDATE In the conference call, Messina said the $69 cited in the video was money donated to Obama for America; however, that striped away the megadonations, which go to the DNC. The average donation from both committees is $88) END UPDATE

The total has been updated. Smaller donations from many Americans show a groundswell of support. Grassroots.

Obama team raised record $86 million last quarter. UPDATES - Lynn Sweet

The Ideological Crisis of Western Capitalism | Truthout

A decade ago, in the midst of an economic boom, the US faced a surplus so large that it threatened to eliminate the national debt. Unaffordable tax cuts and wars, a major recession, and soaring health-care costs – fueled in part by the commitment of George W. Bush’s administration to giving drug companies free rein in setting prices, even with government money at stake – quickly transformed a huge surplus into record peacetime deficits.

The remedies to the US deficit follow immediately from this diagnosis: put America back to work by stimulating the economy; end the mindless wars; rein in military and drug costs; and raise taxes, at least on the very rich. But the right will have none of this, and instead is pushing for even more tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, together with expenditure cuts in investments and social protection that put the future of the US economy in peril and that shred what remains of the social contract. Meanwhile, the US financial sector has been lobbying hard to free itself of regulations, so that it can return to its previous, disastrously carefree, ways.
