Breitbart.com : White House braces unemployed for slow job rebound

Mon, 5 Apr 2010 10:44:21 +0000

Gee, this wasn't inevitable... Waxman: "What do you mean our trillion dollar tax boondoggle increases costs.... it was designed to lower costs..." It was designed to raise taxes, which stiffles economic growth... You people don't understand economics. Buy a book... "What do you mean your shoes are covered in crap. When Congress collectively crapped on your lawn, it was done in order to fertilize your land and to magically yield you crops... Oh, you mean, that's not how you farm?"

Five observations from last night's speech: I don't fake outrage. I observe things and then make certain judgments based on what I see. Here's my reaction. 1) I don't care, you are the president, and you are the executive branch. You do not, ever, call out the Supreme Court of the United States in front of the other branch of government. 2) Lecturing Republicans was the wrong way to go, and George Bush is evil, I got it... I heard this in 2008. I'm sort of over it. 3) Nice to hear that he is willing to discuss nuclear energy and domestic drilling, but this is all a ruse... and here is why.They can talk about nuclear and oil, but we know that the EPA can stop development at any time, espeically under the new regulations... and that Sierra Club will block development in court and hold up projects infinitely. This is what made Lindsay Graham look so bad when he reached across the aisle. Republicans need to demand language that prevents useless lawsuits and see if the Democrats block it. If they do, you'll see that this was all talk. 4) You cannot, cannot CANNOT, say that we are going to double exports and then demand economic and energy policies that will make that goal impossible. Cap and trade, EFCA and the healthcare bill will not make this possible. You need to address corporate taxation, lending practices, the need to eliminate subsidies, unionization issues and the water laws of California if you are serious. If you look at what the EPA is doing to the strawberry and olive trade in California, you would know that we are now going to go from an exporter of these goods to an importer because we are so very concerned about a bait fish. The Southern California farm trade is being destroyed by liberal environmentalist policies. Environmental policies that put fish over man do not accomodate expansion of exports. And, I hate to break it to people, but we are never going to be the largest exporter of Windmills. 5) He repeated about 10 campaign promises and demands of things that he himself have broken on a regular basis in the past year... Lobbyists, earmarks, transparency are the three big ones. I don't think that people are fooled anymore, and even the AP came out this morning and showed "Obama's view" and "Reality" I thought it was a mediocre speech, and that is saying something considering that I respect the presidency and give him a lot of rope. I'm tired of words. I'm tired of promises. I'm tired of blame... But what can you do when the GOP is puttering along like clowns as well. If the GOP had a great speechwriter and someone who could talk on the fly, they could have really hammered him and showed his empty rhetoric last night. Start with the exports issue first, since this is the easiest one to address. "The president took a significant step in the right direction tonight, stating that we need to increase manufacturing, but Mister Obama needs to understand that the United States is not able to compete because of antiquated tax laws that are not enabling us in today's globalized economy." Discuss the fact that 40 percent corporate taxes are the highest in the world and make it an unfriendly business environment. Then talk about how cap and trade, health care and EFCA are all unfriendly to business, especially to manufacturing... will lead to more outsourcing and layoffs and then amke it virtually impossible to reach that ambitious goal. And then just hammer on jobs and centralized planning. Public sector making so much money vs. Private sector failing. Use history as a guide. Then... address the hypocrisy... Republicans are catering to special interests? They are being given money by the banks and corporations? What about the Democrat healthcare bill? What about the 14 million that Wall Street gave Mr. Obama during the election? A populist vernacular coming from a corporatist President is a great act, but once again he is failing to live up to the standards that he wishes to impose on everyone else. Seriously...Where the hell is the GOP and how is this so difficult? This was on my mind the entire speech and I feel like they are afraid to go on the offensive. The minority is supposed to be on the attack... The minority wants to give ideas and to help the country. For as many times as McDonnell referenced Thomas Jefferson, how does he miss: "All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. The measures are not reasonable now, so the minority should be diligent. This is why I am not a Republican, because they have no teeth... They just sat there last night and agreed that America is great and puppies and rainbows are things they too can get behind.

So wait, Brown's election would then force the President to go the bipartisan route on all future legislation, just as the President promised a few hundred times during the election, but still has yet to do, but some how Brown is the @sshole? Where am I?

I must say that this is a very ignorant and biased view of economic history, most likely regurgitated from an afternoon with Glenn Beck. Listen, I'm a staunch economic conservative, but pinning this only on Clinton is certifiably wrong. While Clinton signed the bill, the removal of the Glass-Stegall Act was a bipartisan effort, driven by large scale banks. You do not seem to recognize that the post-9/11 levels of credit, combined with incredibly low interest rates had a bigger impact on the market. If that level of credit is not available at such low rates, the banks would have never made these loans. Last week, on the Hill, the CEOs said that everyone assumed that home prices would always increase. Next, you do not seem to realize the fact that Freddie and Fannie did not hold as much of a level of toxic assets as say Lehman or Bear Sterns. You ignore the fact that there was no "direction" from Clinton, and the "Community Reinvestment Act" played a much smaller role than our right-leaning leaders would have you believe. The 100 year storm on Wall Street was not the direct result of one event. There was a chain of events, and being hyper-partisan will never help us prevent this same thing from happening again.

You are seeing what happens when increased government control takes place. It creates an even wider system of the haves and the have nots. Expect this same thing to happen when health care is rationed. Those considered priveledged in society will go to the front of the line, while everyone else is bumped back a spot. Get used to it. You voted for it.

Whoever wrote this should be fired... This makes him seem like he's a victim of the job that he's wanted his entire life. He's got to be President even when he takes his kids to see avatar. Boo, f-ing, hoo. At least he doesn't have to worry about a damn thing like the rest of us... Job security for at least 3 more years. He wanted it. He's not getting any pity from me.

It's simply amazing to listen to liberals defend Obama's practices by pointing to the things Bush did. You cannot justify terrible behavior of YOUR champion by pointing to similar terrible behavior by a man that you vehemently detested for eight years. Common sense doesn't work like that. Obama is looking worse for going a step beyond all those things that the media and leftists vilified Bush for. My Pet Goat? You hated him for reading to children for an extra 45 minutes after the attacks, and this is how you justify Obama not speaking for three days after the botched Christmas attack. He should have held a press conference from the zoo they shut down for his family. The Patriot Act? You detested Bush for wire taping and civil liberties, but you don't bat an eye when Obama signs an order that gives Interpol the right to supercede the Constitution. If "nothing has changed" by this provision, as Obama's team has said, then why sign the order to begin with? This is more dangerous than the Patriot Act. Debt... Bush set records for debt spending, and then Obama spends more in one year than all of the previous Presidents combined... But, you justify it by pointing to Bush's budgets... That makes sense.... Unemployment was at 5 percent under Bush, and the media was howling, mainly on behalf of unions. It seems today the only way to get a job in Obama's 10 percent America is to get a spoon, dig a hole, and pay union dues to the SEIU. Congratulations you idiots. We warned you... we didn't hope he would fail, we knew he would fail.

Dear little school kids: I neglected to tell you that I will be doubling the national debt during my presidency, so get ready. All those toys you love so much won't be coming to you because you'll be the real victims of government debt and soaring inflation. So try to remember this speech, that I am a super nice guy, and ignore the fact that my economic policies are the final nail in the coffin of this country's economic superiority. Cheers.

Can the media please report what insurance companies actual margins are. They can't be high at all... I'd say they're probably just as bad as oil margin are, and they are actually low too. Such a myth on BIG BAD OIL AND BIG BAD INSURANCE...

Two things: First off, World War 2 was Keynesian in nature. 90 percent of GDP was spent on the war. So, your argument on government spending turns on itself. The New Deal did not end it and neither did World War 2. During WW2 there was an extraordinary amount of rationing in this country on all consumer goods to promote the war effort. At the time, the rationing was a direct result from global trade being at a complete stand still and our inability to import goods needed for commercial usage. Therefore, it was the Bretton Woods conference of 1944 that really ended the Depression. Bretton Woods established the parameters for current global trade. We had real exchange rates --- this also helped speed allied trade in part of the war effort. The acceleration from 1944 to the end of the war in our trade was remarkable, increased our domestic production and enabled a swift strike across Europe. Meanwhile, we had just found trade partners that led to the boom starting in the 1950s However, we are now talking about having carbon emission tariffs on goods from China, thanks to the Democrats. Such trade restrictions will be a final nail in the coffin. Hello third world.

No guy, I get that. I understand that we'll be able to cure spinal injuries. But how expensive will that be? And under this healthcare plan, who will get to use these expensive procedures and who will not? Meanwhile the economy goes to hell and the stimulus package does nothing but stimulate the wallets of the people who supported the Democrats.
