Obama Will Be The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth

[Wyatt earp]

Why the job creators. They're paying people what their skills are worth. You blame the wrong people. An employer shouldn't pay someone more than what they offer in return is worth. The worker should provide higher level skills if they want more.

Because that was what they were tasked to do

Remember the rising tide raising all boats? Well it only raised the yachts
We were promised more jobs, higher pay and more prosperity if we cut taxes and deregulated

They just kept the money

Since unemployment is down, that means more jobs have been created and people are now making money instead of living off taxpayers. That means not just the yachts were raised. The problem is you want the dingy raised to the same level as the yacht despite the yacht captain having more skills and knowledge that the one rowing with an oar.

More jobs have been created but those jobs no longer provide the wages and benefits they did Pre-Reagan. There was a time more jobs meant higher wages to compete....they no longer do
The job creators have figured out how to take their profit before they pay a wage rather than pay your employees and see what profit is left

The percent of profit going to employees has dropped significantly since we adopted Reaganomics

You really are more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal aren't you?

NOT a penny of net profit goes to an employee unless they are part of a profit sharing plan.

Reaganomics has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the massively failed Obamanomics.

Reaganomics shifted the salary structure. It did not happen overnight but 35 years of deregulation, an unsustainable tax rate, union busting and sweetheart deals for the rich have placed the worker right where conservatives want them

Powerless and afraid

Powerless and afraid?

Lmao you must be retired.

No guy with a skill is job scared and sucks management dick, its the other way around

 

[Wyatt earp]

You mean pay those who have little to no skills more than those skills are worth? Not how it works. Let those with little to no skills do something for what they want instead of sticking out their paws and demanding it be given to them for nothing.

But wait! The people you are talking about are the same ones trumps making empty promises to.

Is this your official position on white uneducated blue collar? This is important

I mentioned nothing about white.

Trump offers a way for those to do better for themselves. As long as Democrats are willing to provide them with more than they could earn working, they'll vote Democrat because it's easy for someone that doesn't want to do better to take a handout.

Nonsense. You don't value workers.

Let me know when the GOP nominates a black, woman, Hispanic, etc. Anything other than a old rich white dude

I value WORKERS that earn their way because they have skills that allow them to do so. I don't value ANYONE that won't earn their way then complains that the rest of the people owe them a living.

Who are the uneducated blue collar workers who lost their high paying manufacturing job to globalization and have given up looking for work or are now working for less?

Let's be honest. The blue collar uneducated are the people you are talking about when you say you don't want to pay someone more than they are worth. They have little to no skills. If they didn't they wouldn't still be hurting.

And they wouldn't have lost their good paying jobs if your masters didn't want Chinese and Mexican wages in order to maximize shareholder profits

Nope unions cost them their jobs along with consumers

In 2006, the unemployment rate was 4.9% and food stamp use was 27 million. Today, unemployment is claimed to be 4.9% but food stamp use is well over 40 million. If all the jobs that have claimed to be created have been, why are so many more on food stamps?

Seems like the job creators have found the market can support low wages if the taxpayer helps with food stamps

So, should we continue to support low wage workers or make the job creators do it

We should leave businesses alone and do away with things like food stamps. Because a worker offers low skills doesn't mean the taxpayers should offset their poor work ability.

By the way, since you want to blame job creators, blame Obama. You are the one giving him credit for having created millions of jobs.

Well lets do that then

Let Obama get some legislation allowing him to force job creators to trickle down more of their profits.
If they are unwilling to do so, they can pay higher taxes to offset those record food stamps

You mean pay those who have little to no skills more than those skills are worth? Not how it works. Let those with little to no skills do something for what they want instead of sticking out their paws and demanding it be given to them for nothing.

But in China and mexico a line worker is worth $1 a day. Trump says he's going to force those companies to come back to the USA and pay more. Based on your comments I don't believe trump.

I rem

Obamanomics. I told you this would happen 8 years ago.

We just got another extremely disappointing GDP number. It was being projected that U.S. GDP would grow by 2.5 percent during the second quarter of 2016, but instead it only grew by just 1.2 percent. In addition, the Census Bureau announced that GDP growth for the first quarter of 2016 had been revised down from 1.1 percent to 0.8 percent. What this means is that the U.S. economy is just barely hanging on by its fingernails from falling into a recession. As Zero Hedge has pointed out, the “average annual growth rate during the current business cycle remains the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949″. This is not what a recovery looks like.

In addition, Barack Obama remains solidly on track to be the only president in all of U.S. history to never have a single year when the economy grew by at least 3 percent. Every other president in American history, even the really bad ones, had at least one year when U.S. GDP grew by at least 3 percent. But this has not happened under Obama even though he has had two terms in the White House.

Barack Obama Will Be The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth | Zero Hedge

Yea but something like 80 straight months of job growth.

Republicans can't say Obama isn't great. Hes just not great enough.

America sucked under GOP rule. Tom delay and Dennis hastert ruined the middle class, and little boys assholes

80 straight months of job growth? On what planet?
And blaming a Republican Congress for ruining the economy while praising Obama - mind boggling.

Jobs were fleeing the country in 2009 and Republicans obstructed from day one still Obama got it done.

Don't praise Mike pence in Indiana and not give Obama credit

Who had a super majority in 2009, dufus?

I remember lobbyists got to just enough blue dogs and got them to vote with Republicans.

Otherwise how do you explain the only thing dems got passed those years was the aca

Not true. But you live in that world of denial, don't you?

Would you pay $1,000 plus extra for all your minutes and data for your smart phone?

Or would you go across the street to another provider, get the phone free with a 2 year contract?

Same for your plasma TV, microwave, shoes, refrigerator etc., etc., etc..

Which store would you buy your goods?

Ill pay more for buy american

I thought you blame anyone not working for their own woes.

A lot of those unemployed people in Michigan are black detroiters.

While Rick Snyder is taking credit for Michigan's recovery, why isn't he taking blame for a states problems? You give Obama blame but Snyder none. Intellectually dishonest much?

Tell me you hypocrite, what do you want the federal government to do? Should they bring back affirmative action to make sure companies are staying diverse? No blacks or Muslims work at my company.

As you well know, the United Auto Workers caused the demise of the American auto industry.

It's not $10.00 or $100.00 extra, it would be hundreds or thousands while another company, store, whatever would be charging what is being paid today. We live in a world economy.

What I love about this chart:

Republicans gave us the deficit creating Bush Tax cuts costing trillions. Two unpaid for wars. They did everything they could to build a bubble and squeeze as much money out of this economy as possible. They moved millions of jobs to China and closed over 42,000 factories.

The Plight of American Manufacturing

Indeed, the U.S. is losing the industries of the future. In 2004, it lost world dominance in high-tech exports, when China exported $180 billion worth of information- and communications--technology products and the U.S. exported just $149 billion.

---------------------

Notice the year? 2004.

Republicans have fucked this country up, down and sideways. The GOP base is finally, FINALLY figuring it out. But being uneducated, they put their trust in con man swindler, Donald Trump.

But look how Obama brought back the country after the GOP bubble of lies exploded at the end of 2008. Being ignorant, they think an economy built on a bubble is better than an economy built on sound economics. And the GOP leadership, led by Trump, are dying to reverse the trend. Only the most ignorant fucktards who ever lived, think abolishing the minimum wage is the way to go. Trump said he wanted to abolish the minimum wage before he flip flopped. Now, he's telling his base, he will bring back jobs that will pay over $15 an hour and the fucktards believe him. They do. They really believe that lying swindler.

Forcing employers to pay a minimum wage has done wonders for black unemployment.
Let's do more of that.
DERP!

We have had minimum wages for 70 years. It has no impact on black unemployment

In a study of over 600,000 data points, focusing on 16 to 24-year-old males without a high school diploma, the Employment Policies Institute found that every 10 percent increase in a federal or state minimum wage decreased black youth employment by 6.5 percent.

Black teenage unemployment was roughly equal to their white counterparts in 1948, but has since diverged sharply away from whites. The same is true for the labor force participation of black teenagers.

US History Shows the Minimum Wage Has Harmed the Black Community

In 1948, the U.S. Was the leading manufacturer in the world. Nobody was even close. Blacks benefitted from ample jobs

As the world caught up with the U.S. In the 70s and 80s, blacks were the first to be cast aside as manufacturing abandoned the big cities

Since that time the educational level for blacks has declined, the bastard birth rate has gone up, the crime rate has gone up compared to other groups. It's amazing how the results of other things that can cause employment to go down actually occur when certain choices are made.

Looks like an issue of cause and effect

Once manufacturing left our cities, blacks were left behind to fend for themselves. Crime, social degradation and declining education was the result

Nafta signed by a democrat. And the blacks live em? Huh?

Don't give credit to Obama for lowering the unemployment rate without blaming him for the 15 million more still on food stamps than when Bush has the same unemployment rate.

Wrong! Detroit just tried sueing Rick Snyder for appointing an efm and the court said Lansing has the power over Detroit.

Which I agree it should.
