The Definition of Insanity: President Obama's 'Jobs Plan'

Clearly, helping American business is above his pay grade

Clearly, trying to help American business is not in the right's interest. Case in point: the right is already opposing Obama's jobs plan, which includes tax breaks for business.
 
This President is very torn & confused. His Wingnut followers for the most part,hate those "Evil Businesses." They believe they should be punished for being successful. He knows he has to placate these Wingnuts somewhat,therefore he's an awful failure on the Economy. You can't promote Business & hiring while at the same time promising to punish them for being successful. It's a mixed-message that just wont help. That's why i keep saying the Socialists/Progressives don't have the answers. They're only making things worse. He's all out of ammo on the Economy. There's nothing he can do now. Time to look to 2012 for change.
 
Infrastructure investment (something Reps usually support) and targeted tax breaks for small businesses (what the right call the 'job creators') and employees is the definition of insanity? So now Republicans don't like tax cuts? I'm guessing if Obama came out and said he wanted to lower the corporate tax rate to zero, Reps would complain. There is no pleasing you people. I don't understand why Obama keeps trying.

I agree with you Obama is very tiring. He doesn't know how to fix something he has never done, never studied and would recognize if it was attached to his back side.. This is the man that right after entering office said" I don't have all the facts but the police were wrong.

Really brilliant.

Nice try. I didn't say that Obama is tiring. But it's good to see you totally avoid the points I made. Let's try this again. Obama's jobs plan includes infrastructure spending and tax cuts for businesses and employees. Since the right is opposed to his plan, it begs the question: Since when are Reps against infrastructure and tax cuts (both of which Reps typically support)? Do you think you can answer the question instead of deflecting with criticisms of Obama's judgement on something completely unrelated to the topic at hand? Thanks.

Targeted tax breaks for Green jobs and harnessing cow farts is not a real tax break

Thanks for the substantive response, crusader. I can always expect a well-reasoned, intelligent response out of you. :cuckoo:

I have never seen any plan by any Democrat that proposes to "punish" successful businesses. That's a ridiculous claim.

LOL

You never once heard about how oil companies get "Government subsidies" (AKA: Depreciation write offs)
 
If this idea didn’t work the first time, and if it didn’t work the second time, then why on earth would anyone believe it would work a third time?

We threw a bucket of water at a burning house.
We then threw another bucket of water at a burning house.

And now you're saying water is not the answer.

:doubt:

Like a 5 or 6 Trillion dollar bucket of water you dumbass.... Holy shit you're fucking stupid.
 
You can't declare War on "Evil Business" while at the same time hoping for Job-Creation. You just can't have it both ways. His Left Wing nutter followers have painted him into a corner. They want him to punish those "Evil Rich Folk" and don't give a shit about Jobs. The man is all out of answers. We need real change starting in 2012.

Tax breaks are far different than tax cuts.

And frank is right. Obama toured a solar factory that his targeted tax breaks and subsidies were ment to make them competitive with China. They went out of business this week. Offering free money with no pre planning is a failure everytime. The market will decide which businesses deserve to thrive enough to hire not Obama. That's 3 companies he has touted that have since failed. He is clueless.
 
Spot-On take from Michael Prell...

The definition of insanity (hat-tip to Albert Einstein) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

So, what do you call it when a flailing U.S. administration, with a 26% approval rating for its handling of the economy, keeps trotting out the same failed economic policies? Do they honestly expect different results?

The government tried to jumpstart the economy with a fiscal stimulus, which didn’t work. So they tried a second stimulus, which also didn’t work.

They tried QE1, which didn’t work, so they tried QE2, which also didn’t work. Which naturally led them to where they are now: laying the groundwork for a QE3. What do all these Q’s and E’s mean? The long answer is: quantitative easing. The short answer is: invented money. The real answer is: all these Q’s and E’s matter far less than the ability to count to 3. If this idea didn’t work the first time, and if it didn’t work the second time, then why on earth would anyone believe it would work a third time?

The Obama administration has tried everything that doesn’t work — in some cases as many as 10 times — all with the same results. At best, America is stuck in a jobless recovery. At worst, America is stuck in a jobless non-recovery, made deeper and more painful by a government that keeps doing all of the things that are proven to not work — over and over and over.

Like trying to fix America’s debt problem by raising the debt ceiling and incurring even more debt. Which is “a failure of leadership” that “shift the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren,” as Senator Barack Obama noted back in 2006 when he spoke out against raising the debt ceiling. But that didn’t stop Barack Obama, as president, from raising America’s debt ceiling not once, not twice, but three times while in the White House. Why? According to President Obama, “If we don’t come to an agreement [to raise the debt ceiling a third time], we could lose our country’s AAA credit rating.” So, what happened after he came to an agreement to raise the debt ceiling a third time? America immediately lost its AAA credit rating.

The president’s “laser-like focus on jobs” keeps leading him back to tax hikes, even though we’ve repeatedly seen that higher taxes kill jobs and lower taxes spur job growth. Exhibit A: America in its recent past. Exhibit B: Canada in its more recent past. Exhibit C: Texas, now. Exhibit D: Common sense that tells us that if you want less of something, you tax it more, and if you want more of something, you tax it less.

The president also tried to encourage job creation by insulting and demonizing job creators — not once, not twice, but six times in one speech alone — as greedy fat-cats who fly in hateful corporate jets.

I’m no Einstein or Harvard law professor. But, unlike President Obama, I have created jobs. And Rule #1 about job creators is: Do not speak ill of job creators. At the very least, try not to hold several nationally televised addresses from the White House to demonize job creators when you want them to save your presidency. This helpful Rule #1 operates under the same basic principle that says: Don’t punch a girl in the face if you want her phone number, and don’t call half the country “hostage takers” who “cling to guns or religion” or send your vice president out to call them “terrorists” if you want them to re-elect you.

I’m not saying the president is insane. I’m just saying that he keeps doing the same failed things — over and over and over again — and expecting different results.

Then there's his brain dead $3,000 tax credit for hiring on new employees, which costs one helluva lot more than that in many-cum-most instances.

He is the same man that called the private sector "the Enemy".

:doubt:
Bad analogy, Mr. Stupid.


What the succubus did was scooped a bunch of water out of the deep end of the pool, poured it into the shallow end, then complained that the only reason that the shallow end isn't deeper is because you didn't scoop enough water out of the deep end.
Brilliant analogy.

The fact that you think so is further proof that it's a dumb analogy.

s0n? Unknown to you? Obama replaced the water with high octane gasoline.

Pay attention.
 
Stop the insanity for God's sake. It's time for real change. Come on 2012!

A "real change"? Back to Bush? Because Bush fixed the mess Clinton had left? Republicans have "new" policies but can't name them?
