    Just asinine. I wonder if this administration is trying to lose. This is why the federal government needs to have limited power, it is obvious the clowns in office don't understand how rural areas operate. Ridiculous that special interest groups (why do teachers unions support ridiculous regulations like this, it has nothing to do with education) have so much power over this incompetent administration. Glad to hear that me working in tobacco on my grandfather's farm would be illegal now. At least this isn't remotely enforceable, but still scary what this nation has become, we've collectively lost our minds.

    The incredible governmental/regulatory overreach by the obama regime is almost unbelievable.

    Nov '12 may be our last opportunity to turn this train wreck around.

    As I have been saying ............ beyond belief.
  • believer
    These moronic politicians are always looking for a scapegoat and Big Oil is one of their favorites.

    They talk a good game to fire up their constituency but they secretly know (but won't publicly admit) that the Feds need Big Oil. Tax revenues from the oil industry is the second largest source of Big Gubmint income behind income taxes.

    A completely lackluster economy dangerously flirting into becoming another recession - http://blog.american.com/2012/04/gdp-report-clouds-obamas-reelection-chances/

    Some pull-quotes:
    Research from the Federal Reserve finds that that since 1947, when two-quarter annualized real GDP growth falls below 2 percent, recession follows within a year 48% of the time. In other words, the U.S. economy may be entering a red zone where if anything at all goes wrong—like, say, a worsening EU economy and financial situation—it will lack the momentum to avoid another downturn. Indeed, Strategas Research thinks corporate profits may have declined on a quarterly basis for the first time since 2008.
    And even if nothing else goes wrong, growth still looks to be exceptionally weak for the third year of a recovery. This is the 11th quarter of the Obama Recovery. Over that span, the economy has grown 7% total. During the first 11 quarters of the Reagan Recovery, the economy grew 18%, more than twice as much as the Obama Recovery.
    And yet, there are tens of millions that will stand proudly behind his disaster of an economic policy, his disdain for growth, his hatred of the successful and vote for him again. This proves once again the definition of insanity.

    ... the video says it all ....
    The video is latent with opinionated falsehoods...motivated by political agendas. For example, one would have to be the most naive to believe that unbridled free markets led to the explosion of the middle class (as stated in the video). Because simply....it didn't. 20th Century America was the bastion economically in raising all ships. The same time frame illustrated the greatest positive interventions which directly led to the booming economy shared by the masses.

    Pure capitalism, as espoused by oh so many here...is oh so 19th Century. As remarkable as it sounds, polar economic opposites, Adam Smith and Karl Marx recognized the fallacies of laissez faire...given the innate qualities of humans. Today, throughout the world, there are no countries that adhere to laissez faire economic policies. Gee, I wonder why?

    Now watch...people will call me a Marxist...never fails....which is the furthest thing from the truth.

    If McCain had been elected, the economy would have been exponentially worse. Now I can't prove that, of course. But this is what I would envision under McCain.

    War in southern Russia which je promoted.
    War with Iran
    Remaining troops in Iraq
    Expansion in Afghan
    Expansion in Pakistan
    Invasion of Yeman
    Invasion in Somalia
    Expansion of the fraudulent banking ponzi schemes...resulting in more fed. bailouts.
    Ramped up Patriot Act.
    Deficit spending even higher than Obama's. Republicans have a track record in doing so.
    Further tax decreases...resulting in less revenues...not more.

    I doubt Romney gets elected...but if he does...I will pop my popcorn and enjoy watching the clusterfukk unfold.

    Foot - It's not about McCain. He's not a viable player in 2012. We'll never know what would have occurred had he been elected. Never.

    The person McCain lost to now has a record. That person is running so far away from his record, we're likely to hear more about George Bush than Mitt Romney for the next 6 months. The record, as I posted, is a stagnant economy with insufficient growth to create new jobs, a hidden inflation (thanks to hand-in-hand monetary policy with Helicopter Ben) that has seen the price of gasoline rise over 100% in just over 3 years, and historic deficits for the next decade.

    With a record like that, I couldn't blame him for running against Bush again. It worked in 2008....and he's banking on it working in 2012.

    Republicans have a track record of having higher deficits than Obama? Interesting observation, but the facts don't agree with you.

    I think if McCain would have won that we'd all have magic unicorns as pets and basements full of cash. :cool:

    They base it off of % increases, the kind of fuzzy math liberals favor to mask the cost of unsustainable social programs (like Repubs do with defense spending, just to keep this bipartisan :laugh:)

    You cannot:

    1. Blame the President for a stagnant economy and insufficient growth, and perpetual deficits

    AND

    2. Oppose every policy that will create growth and support policies that are self defeating and will ensure a bleaker debt outlook and that will ensure a stagnant economy and slow growth.


    There is also no "hidden, supersecret" inflation...and that headline inflation in gasoline prices is not due to the policies of the Federal Reserve.

    In Fact, Inflation is projected to remain below the Fed's target rate for several years.



    ^That is from the Cleveland Fed.

    Ben Bernanke is in fact rebutting charges that he's not following his own advice that he gave the Bank of Japan when they had a persistently stagnant economy.


    Obama has not done enough but we can know by looking at the real world example of Europe, and the Results of the Spending Cuts being done in states taken over by Republicans that Mitt Romney and Republicans in power will be devastatingly worse.

    Countries in Europe who have taken your advice are twice as worse off as we are.

    But, alas.

    Given the landscape of the 2008/2009 transition...i.e. depression part 2, McCain would have deficit spent more than Obama did....

    Extended UB
    Shovel ready government jobs
    And huge expansion of the military.

    Reagan did it. Bush the 41 did it, and Bush the 43 did it. At the apex of the financial crisis, the huge international bubble pop, McCain would have done the exact same thing as Obama. The 5.5 trillion that Obama added to the N.D. would have been dwarfed by McCain's spending.....because all of Obama's deficit spending to stimulate the economy would have been duplicated by McCain. The added trillions would have involved at least 4 more wars that McCain was on record as itching for.

    This is why I relish the thought of Romney winning. The ND will hit 21 trillion in 2 years because the "recovery" is no where to be found. And whereby Romney isn't quite the warmonger that McCain is, I look for war in Iran, Syria, possibly Lebonan and most definetly a call for regime change in Pakistan.

    As bogus as it is with Obama pulling down a Nobel Peace prize, the GOP still has in it's bi-laws in the view of international hegemony...the cost be damned. The Project For New Century America lives in the eyes of the GOP. The Bush Doctrine is alive and well...and the future taxpayers will be saddled with tab on this insane and radical mindset.

    The misery index has shown no partisan favorites since 1948, as show in the following link.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misery_index_(economics)

    But you can thank the de-egulation of the banking cartel that you so adamently defend as the number one reason behind the 25% upsurge in misery under the Obama Administration.

    But whenever Obama attempts to bridle the "bankers run wild" in effort to stop the fleecing of America, those in your corner are first to cry foul. It's quite comical, really.
