How much debt has Obama created that wasn't a direct or indirect result of George W. Bush actions and policies?
Untrue and irrelevant.
Obama was in the driver's seat. He had a majority democrat Congress.
Their answer was to spend and tax our way our of debt.
The real mission was to first, take care of the people that got Obama his shot in the Oval Office. Second, to take care of those on government assistance thus locking up their votes in 2012. The rest of Obama's time he spent campaigning for a second term.
His speeches are all rhetoric. He always saves space in his speeches to attack those who oppose his policies. Obama has little else to add. When he does propose something, he just says what the proposal is but never explains how it will be accomplished.
To date, the only significant issue that went Obama's way is Obamacare. And the majority of the country HATES it.
The fact is Obama's "Hope and Change" and "yes we can" has been an abysmal failure.
Now you guys are holding on to the premise that Obama's central planning would have been just fine if those evil republicans had gone along to get along. Never mind that those proposals would give the federal government an immense amount of power.
No Obama has not created 3 million or 4 million new jobs. If that were true the unemployment rate would be under 6%. The stimulus were nothing but payoffs to states and cities that helped Obama get into office. The money is gone and any jobs "saved" are gone as well. And Obama has the ******* nerve to turn his attack dogs on suburban people because they moved out of the crime infested high tax shit public school cities. What Obama and his operatives fail to understand is that the move to suburbia began 60 years ago. Obama thinks suburban people have cheated the cities. And of course there is the lame assed race card. Yes, we all moved out of the city to escape the black and brown people. Oh sure.
Wanna come down here and see all the black and brown people that live right here in this suburb? No, you won't. Because then you'd have to admit your narrative on the issue is a piece of garbage.
We do not want "NO" government. We want government to do what is written in the US Constitution. That is defend the people with a strong military, run the treasury PROPERLY. Operate the legislature and courts. Assure the people the rights as they are explained in the Constitution are protected and that is really about it.
All these departments and agencies should be closed. The federal government has no business running a housing program. Interfering with public education is a no no. That is a state and local issue. Yes the federal government should have laws and guidelines to prevent discrimination and other violation of civil rights. Of course. And there should be oversight to make sure business and industry, including financial business flies straight.
Other than that though, we can just eliminate all other government. It's too costly and we do not need it.
