Obama's Economic 'Lateral Pass' To Bill's Wife

[Faun]

“Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them.” George Orwell



1. We on the Right hardly ever proclaim ourselves 'intellectuals.' In fact, for many of us, it is a pejorative.

a.In Intellectuals and Society, Thomas Sowell vigorously denies being an 'intellectual.'

But, Sowell vigorously defends wisdom—practical reason—against an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon “objective reality and objective criteria” in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their “systems” tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world.


b. As an example of "Intellectuals, he argues, they are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country."

“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That's a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensm...own_PA_Clinging_religion_guns_xenophobia.html

Based on a self actualization outlook....who would I have a beer with.....? Hmmmm.....
The 'intellectual' who has an unbroken record of failure and incompetence...?
Let's restrict this thread to Obama's scorched earth record of husbanding the economy, the prosperity of the nation, and who promises to continue same.




2. Louis Woodhill shares some numbers that capture Obama’s real legacy [http://www.realclearmarkets.com/art...as_sad_record_on_economic_growth_101987.html].....

“America’s elites have largely given up on growth, and are now distracting themselves with academic musings about ‘secular stagnation.’ … assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth.


This would place his presidency fourth from the bottom of the list..., above only those of Herbert Hoover (-5.65%), Andrew Johnson (-0.70%) and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41%).”



What makes this final comparison so damning is that Obama had the comparative good fortune to enter office in the middle of a recession. Which means, all things equal, that his numbers should look very positive.

Instead, he’s managed to compile one of the worst track records."



The only individuals less competent than Barack Obama are his voters.

Unemployment under 5% and wages up. Thanks Obama.

Go back to bushanomics? Trickle down? No no

Of course, unemployment is not close to 5%
1. Average unemployment rate under Bush: 5.31

Average unemployment rate under Obama: 8.46 United States Unemployment Rates by President, 1948-2016 (thru 2014)



2. "The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population,..." The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment


3. "94,609,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Drops to 62.8% (CNSNews.com) - In its final report before next week's presidential election, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday that 94,609,000 Americans are not in the labor force, 425,000 more than last month's 94,184,000, and the second highest number on record."
94,609,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Drops to 62.8%


Obama wishes he had the unemployment average that Bush had.
And you do, too.

Well you're certainly not an intellectual.

Averaging out the unemployment rate is meaningless as it hides perfomance. For example, a president taking the unemployment rate from 4% to 11% as fast as another president takes it from 11% to 4% will have comparable average rates even though the former is a failure. Even worse for this nonsense of your is the sad reality that Obama will leave office with a lower unemployment rate average than Ronald Reagan, who many on the right regard as a job creating dirty.

As far as the 95 million folks who are not in the labor force, in reality, only 6% of them want a job. 89 million of the 95 million who are not in the labor force don't want to work.

Thanks for acquiescing to my post, you make my job easy. Nothing you said counters a word of my post. You're posting articles that are years old which fail to refute the reality that 89 million of the 95 million not in the labor force don't want a job. Nothing in your post counters how Obama's average unemployment rate will be lower than Reagan's when he leaves office 3 months from now.

I refuted your idiocy and you whine in response.

C'mon, step up your game.

1. We on the Right hardly ever proclaim ourselves 'intellectuals.' In fact, for many of us, it is a pejorative.

a.In Intellectuals and Society, Thomas Sowell vigorously denies being an 'intellectual.'

But, Sowell vigorously defends wisdom—practical reason—against an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon “objective reality and objective criteria” in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their “systems” tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world.


b. As an example of "Intellectuals, he argues, they are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country."

“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That's a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensm...own_PA_Clinging_religion_guns_xenophobia.html

Based on a self actualization outlook....who would I have a beer with.....? Hmmmm.....
The 'intellectual' who has an unbroken record of failure and incompetence...?
Let's restrict this thread to Obama's scorched earth record of husbanding the economy, the prosperity of the nation, and who promises to continue same.




2. Louis Woodhill shares some numbers that capture Obama’s real legacy [http://www.realclearmarkets.com/art...as_sad_record_on_economic_growth_101987.html].....

“America’s elites have largely given up on growth, and are now distracting themselves with academic musings about ‘secular stagnation.’ … assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth.

What makes this final comparison so damning is that Obama had the comparative good fortune to enter office in the middle of a recession. Which means, all things equal, that his numbers should look very positive.

Unemployment under 5% and wages up. Thanks Obama.

Go back to bushanomics? Trickle down? No no

Of course, unemployment is not close to 5%

2. "The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population,..." The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment

"94,609,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Drops to 62.8% (CNSNews.com) - In its final report before next week's presidential election, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday that 94,609,000 Americans are not in the labor force, 425,000 more than last month's 94,184,000, and the second highest number on record."
94,609,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Drops to 62.8%


Obama wishes he had the unemployment average that Bush had.
And you do, too.

Well you're certainly not an intellectual.

Averaging out the unemployment rate is meaningless as it hides perfomance. For example, a president taking the unemployment rate from 4% to 11% as fast as another president takes it from 11% to 4% will have comparable average rates even though the former is a failure. Even worse for this nonsense of your is the sad reality that Obama will leave office with a lower unemployment rate average than Ronald Reagan, who many on the right regard as a job creating dirty.

As far as the 95 million folks who are not in the labor force, in reality, only 6% of them want a job. 89 million of the 95 million who are not in the labor force don't want to work.

LOLOL

George Bush has among the worst records in terms of employment. There were only 1.3 million jobs added while he was president and 1.7 million jobs were public government jobs.That's a pitiful 163,000 jobs a year. His presidency is only the second, along with Herbert Hoover, to leave office with fewer private sector jobs than when he started. And he nearly doubled the unemployment rate.

You're so desperate to make him appear successful in that regard, you rely on a meaningless metric of averaging out the unemployment rate during his 2 terms, which would place him at 5.3% -- far better than Reagan who finished at 7.5%. You're such a nutty rightard, you're actually trying to establish a case that Bush was a better jobs president than Ronald Reagan.

I can't tell from the picture in your avi....but I bet you wear a pony tail to cover up the valve stem....

Oh...and keep this in mind (assuming you have one):

1. Obama is the first President never to have had a year of 3% or better economic growth: "... annual growth during Obama’s “recovery” has never topped 3%. By comparison, it never fell below 3% during the Reagan recovery. And in the nine years following the 1990-91 recession, GDP grew faster than 3% in all but two. Heck, even Jimmy Carter had some strong growth years." http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/with-gdp-downgrade-obama-growth-gap-expands/

b. ".... first president since Hoover to never have a single year above 3% GDP growth." Obama economy is 'amazing,' says hedge fund billionaire



2. According to the 2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation, America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early 2009:
• Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.
• The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.
• The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.
• Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

In your face, boyyyyeeeeee!!!!

So, to say there are 95 million "out of work" means you're only counting those are not working and not trying to work. And you're not counting the Unemployed (as they are part of the labor force). So explain how 89 million people who don't want to work (only 5.9 million of the 95 million say they want a job) are "out of work" but 7.8 million trying to find a job (many of them for years) are not out of work.

spending has increased by 41 percent, more

than $193 billion per year.

“Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them.” George Orwell



1. We on the Right hardly ever proclaim ourselves 'intellectuals.' In fact, for many of us, it is a pejorative.

a.In Intellectuals and Society, Thomas Sowell vigorously denies being an 'intellectual.'

But, Sowell vigorously defends wisdom—practical reason—against an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon “objective reality and objective criteria” in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their “systems” tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world.


b. As an example of "Intellectuals, he argues, they are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country."

“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That's a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensm...own_PA_Clinging_religion_guns_xenophobia.html

Based on a self actualization outlook....who would I have a beer with.....? Hmmmm.....
The 'intellectual' who has an unbroken record of failure and incompetence...?
Let's restrict this thread to Obama's scorched earth record of husbanding the economy, the prosperity of the nation, and who promises to continue same.




2. Louis Woodhill shares some numbers that capture Obama’s real legacy [http://www.realclearmarkets.com/art...as_sad_record_on_economic_growth_101987.html].....

“America’s elites have largely given up on growth, and are now distracting themselves with academic musings about ‘secular stagnation.’ … assuming 2.67% RGDP growth for 2016, Obama will leave office having produced an average of 1.55% growth.


This would place his presidency fourth from the bottom of the list..., above only those of Herbert Hoover (-5.65%), Andrew Johnson (-0.70%) and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41%).”



What makes this final comparison so damning is that Obama had the comparative good fortune to enter office in the middle of a recession. Which means, all things equal, that his numbers should look very positive.

Instead, he’s managed to compile one of the worst track records."

For example, a president taking the unemployment rate from 4% to 11% as fast as another president takes it from 11% to 4% will have comparable average rates even though the former is a failure. Even worse for this nonsense of your is the sad reality that Obama will leave office with a lower unemployment rate average than Ronald Reagan, who many on the right regard as a job creating dirty.

As far as the 95 million folks who are not in the labor force, in reality, only 6% of them want a job. 89 million of the 95 million who are not in the labor force don't want to work.

Yes, that you do not want or are unable to respond to what people actually say. Your response has nothing at all to do with what I wrote. I said nothing about welfare spending and you failed to show any relevance.

So try, though I know it's difficult for you especially if you can't find anything to cut and paste, but try...to respond only to the following:
To say 95 million are "out of work" is misleading because

1. It is excluding the official unemployed.
2. It is including those who cannot and/or do not want to work..
3. It includes millions who never had a job (how can you be out of work if you've never had work?)

Budget office sees 1.9% growth in 2016, 2.5% in 2017 White House Cuts Economic Growth Forecasts

LOLOL

George Bush has among the worst records in terms of employment. There were only 1.3 million jobs added while he was president and 1.7 million jobs were public government jobs.That's a pitiful 163,000 jobs a year. His presidency is only the second, along with Herbert Hoover, to leave office with fewer private sector jobs than when he started. And he nearly doubled the unemployment rate.

You're so desperate to make him appear successful in that regard, you rely on a meaningless metric of averaging out the unemployment rate during his 2 terms, which would place him at 5.3% -- far better than Reagan who finished at 7.5%. You're such a nutty rightard, you're actually trying to establish a case that Bush was a better jobs president than Ronald Reagan.

I'll let him explain it to you.

CALLER: And, you know, and the way our tax system works, we have an overly complex system, which in and of itself is a problem, but the way our tax system works and the way the tax laws are written, it's based on a few kind of like hinge numbers like adjusted gross income and taxable income, and while the soak the rich -- or however you choose to describe it -- really doesn't come down that way. It really comes down to much lower income levels.


RUSH: It does, exactly, and here's the dirty little secret if you ever to pull it off. It's hard. This is why most people don't understand the tax-the-rich business. You've got to structure your life so you have no "earned" income. I'm out of time. I'll explain that. There's a category called earned income versus other kinds of income. Earned income is what the income tax rate is on. That's how "the rich" do it. They don't have "earned" income.

The Truth About Taxes

August 6, 2007

RUSH: I've told you before: the income tax is designed to keep people like his [Buffett's] secretary from becoming wealthy! There is no "wealth" tax. So this is a big misnomer. ...

But there's no tax on wealth. There is a tax on income, and the tax on income is designed to keep everybody who is not wealthy from getting there.

I'm talking about genuine wealth, not the way Democrats define "rich."
