Is America About to Reach the Breaking Point ?

12 million?
Are you sure that wasn't 12 billion?

Romney is mega wealthy....how many jobs has he generated since November 2012?
He is a "job creator" isn't he?

yes....12 million....

what's interesting is they said back then it was a fairly 'safe bet' by Romney....

But Moody’s Analytics, in an August forecast, predicts 12 million jobs will be created by 2016, no matter who is president.

And Macroeconomic Advisors in April also predicted a gain of 12.3 million jobs. In other words, this is a fairly safe bet by Romney...
Fact Check: Romney?s 12 million jobs

so far dog Obama has only generated about 2.5 million since he was elected 5 long years ago....Obama?s Numbers, October Update

So what is it that is going on? You claim that Romney would have created 12 million jobs. I figure he must of been planning on SOME help.

So what was it that has stopped Romney from creating 12 million new jobs all on his own?

i've already pointed to the smothering regulations of Obama.....he has no interest in helping to create new jobs.....unless they are government jobs of course....

just look at Obamacare for a great example of how his smothering regulations 'work'....the employer mandate encourages part-time jobs and not hiring more than 50 workers....paying all those new taxes doesn't encourage hiring either...not to mention businesses aren't sure what will happen so they don't plan on new projects or hiring new employees...

of course BO 'created jobs' by hiring a bunch of 'navigators' to help roll out Obamacare but these are jobs in the government sector and don't produce anything....in other words they cost us since we have to pay for them with our taxes...

Lets look at that "Obamacare". OK. You do know that there was a higher unemployment rate BEFORE Obamacare took effect? Did you know that?

And feel free to list those job destroying taxes that have been imposed on the job creators or the companies.
I just can't think of them on my own. What are they again? Those job destroying taxes that is.

You write like you spend a lot of time reading right wing talking points. Fair to say?

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Where are our job creators?

We kept taxes low and gave them all that capital gains relief....what happened to the jobs they promised?

Good question. But you can see from the stock market now 10,000+ points since the recession in 2008 that the profits have been kept in house, pushed to the top tiers for the shareholders and done withhout hiring. Employees are squeezed to their limits. It's 1890 all over again.

i think it's too early to say whether or not Obamacare creates a significant number of jobs.....other than 'navigators' as well as better programmers and healthcare consultants and lawyers to help untangle the mess....

as for Obamacare taxes....

Nope. The TPM is about finished, though.

Where are our job creators?

We kept taxes low and gave them all that capital gains relief....what happened to the jobs they promised?

Obama has smothered business with all his regulations....he really doesn't want America to succeed...

Romney promised 12 million new jobs.....bet he could've delivered most of them....what is Obama waiting for....?

What happened to the conservative mantra: "The government cannot create jobs"? If the president can actually create jobs without the cooperation of congress explain how. Was congress likely to pass a big jobs bill that Romney would sign? We all know the answer to that. It is much more likely they would have attacked food stamps, government employees and SS, no one can argue that it would have created any jobs at all.

no president actually creates the jobs himself......but he betters the business climate in which new jobs can be created...strangling regulations do NOT create a good business climate...

i think you're wrong.....reformers on both the left and the right have plenty in common....

both need jobs
both hate the Obamacare tax
both want rule of law regarding the surveillance state
both want less centralized banks
both are fed up with Washington
etc.

What a lousy cop-out. The business climate is awesome right now, look at wall street, they are somehow in record territory and it is not translating into record jobs, why not? Is trickle down broken? The job creators created jobs alright, in third world shit-holes. They do not need our workers and they barely need our money. What more do we need to do? Get the president to perform oral sex on the Koch brothers on TV? Now that's business friendly.

Uncertain future due to Obamacare and otherwise fear of punitive administrative policy.

You do realize that for the past 5 years, the fed have been pumping 85 ******* BILLION dollars per MONTH into the stock market, right?

The growth has nothing to do with the business climate.

Bull Shit. Consumer demand drives just about all private sector job creation, and it's just not there.

There are over 100,000 idle youth in each of our major cities....approximately 6 million in the 16 to 24-year-old age group that are not in school and not working either....violence is beginning to rear its ugly head....

Meanwhile Obama and Administration tell us that unemployment is declining and that there are job opportunities for everyone.....what a crock.....this chart says it all:

So the notion that we are experiencing an "employment recovery" is absolutely laughable.

The fact that government dependence has soared to all-time highs even in the midst of this so-called "economic recovery" is just another sign that the middle class is dying.

Congress is voting today on whether or not to extend unemployment benefits...but what is being done to address the real problem....to help create new jobs.....? Nothing as far as i can tell....in fact just the opposite....

Is this growing dependency and growing unrest actually what Obama was shooting for in the first place....? To be sure this is certainly 'transforming' America....

In America today, there are close to 50 million people living in poverty and there are more than 100 million people that get money from the federal government every month. As the middle class disintegrates, poverty is climbing to unprecedented levels. Even though the stock market has been setting record high after record high, the amount of anger and frustration boiling just under the surface in our nation grows with each passing day.

And now extended unemployment benefits have been cut off for 1.3 million unemployed Americans, and it is being projected that a total of 5 million unemployed Americans will lose their benefits by the end of 2014. In addition, as I have written about previously, 47 million Americans recently had their food stamp benefits reduced. The conditions for a "perfect storm" are certainly being created. So how much longer will it be until we see all of this anger and frustration boil over in the streets of our major cities? Is America about to reach a breaking point?

Is America About To Reach A Breaking Point? Anger Grows As Unemployment Benefits Get Cut

when you people can't win national elections MURICA is all of a sudden "at the breaking-point"

Murder totals down sharply in some big cities

They know the breaking point is coming. Hell,it looks like it's being done on purpose.
Why else would we need a homeland military just as strong as our military? Guns,ammo and military vehicles,the militarization of our police departments.
I find it hard to believe all this shit is just a coincidence.
Bad shits coming and they know it.

It's a guarantee, most people will find out too damned late that all this partisan bickering was for naught.

A "politician" made you a promise that you believed would be kept? LMAO. What are you? A turnip?

Somehow, Romney was different.
