We've been suffering with this failure for five LONG years...
SNIP:
At the end of 2013, after serving five years, Barack Obama is a complete failure as President, by his own standards, as reflected in his own words.
How many times has President Obama told us that he is fighting for the middle class? But real median family income has been in a continuous downward spiral since he became President, actually falling more since the recession ended in the summer of 2009 according to the National Bureau of Economic Research than during the recession. That has added up by now to the middle class losing a months pay a year under President Obamas economic policies.
If President Obama is fighting for the middle class, why doesnt he approve the Keystone Pipeline? Building and maintaining the pipeline would provide thousands of good paying jobs. So would refining and selling the oil and gas from the Gulf Coast refineries where the pipeline would deliver the Canadian crude. Moreover, that plentiful supply of low cost energy from a long time, reliable ally would support hundreds of thousands if not millions of additional good paying jobs in the American economy.
President Obama is constantly calling for raising taxes to increase government spending to build further infrastructure, with millions of shovel ready jobs supposedly waiting for that government rescue. We borrowed hundreds of billions for that in Obamas 2009 so-called Stimulus bill, but the shovel ready jobs turned out not to be so shovel ready he later joked, while the economic suffering continued for millions of Americans.
But with Keystone, we have private investors fully capable of financing the more than ready to go infrastructure project, with their own private investment funds rather than taxpayer dollars. That should be a no-brainer, for anyone who is truly fighting for the middle class.
Meanwhile, electricity prices are skyrocketing to all-time highs, according to the governments own official statistics. The Electricity Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hit an all-time record in November, 20% higher than 6 years ago. That is another loss for the middle class, further reducing real incomes.
That is due to Obamas runaway overregulation, pursuing the Presidents War on Coal, and other manipulative, fairy tale delusions. New EPA regulations will take out 10% of all electricity produced by plentiful, low cost American coal, according to the Institute for Energy Research. As for the dishonest global warming fantasy, relatively soon the period of no global warming, which started 17 years ago, will be longer then the period of actual global warming, which was a natural cycle that lasted only 20 years, from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. That was preceded by about 30 years of global temperature decline, or global cooling.
