Hey! Barry! How did THAT stupidity work out? Click the image for the (predictable) answer: Click here to find the original Obama team chart. Click here for the latest on Obama’s epic failure.
I started looking into this yesterday and last night because I thought I remember some claim that the stimulus had created some large number of jobs and that it was working to a degree (even I was a little skeptical), but it was hard to find anything but criticisms from our liberal media which always amazes me. I don't like your chart, but it does seem to be accurate and I only wish that unemployment would decrease for the sake of all our people. With prices rising and more and more people living on food stamps and no cash (this trend seems to be steady, too); I wonder how long this can go on. It would be nice if our leaders would follow a course that would bring us toward some light instead of more darkness and despair. I don't have any hope in Obama's team and I don't hold out any hope in congress. Lately, I see no hope and am a little down about all of it, as my comment and other writing reflects, but I am sure that somewhere down the road, maybe after a lot of suffering, things will improve. You obviously blame the current leaders and you have a lot of points that I can't refute, but I see a lot of blame lies in the people, as well. Our spending habits and expectations are very much a part of the economic mess we are in, and many have thought that there was some magic that would make it all go away and there would be sunshine and rainbows again, but only hard work and using some discipline will bring this all around.
Thanks for posting the things that you post and standing by your beliefs.
A) The so-called “profession” of so-called “journalism” is first in line for utterly failing to perform their duty to educate the voters. Of course, the consumers of their product are also to blame for demonstrating an insatiable appetite for meaningless drivel and/or sensational stories which only have relevance to those tiny few directly involved.
B) The voters are next in line. Sure, “journalism” has failed them. Yes, it takes lots of time to do for themselves what the “journalists” should have done for them. But, in the age of the internet, there is just no excuse.
“Journalism” has also left the voters ignorant of the most basic maxim of all -- there is NO FREE LUNCH! It is a demonstrable fact that LBJ’s Medicare and Medicaid are what set us on the road to ever spiraling federal deficit spending.
Those entitlements poisoned the pot -- creating a lethal and insatiable sense of entitlement. That sense of entitlement is what will destroy this country. We’re already in the last throes of the death spiral and I do not expect the people will learn their lesson until it is way too late. The 2010 election cycle is absolutely, positively our last (very marginal) change to save the nation. But, unless -- in 2010 -- we get VERY serious about rolling back entitlements rather than expanding them, we’re done. Personally, I think the voters will NOT be willing to swallow that pill and that means we’re done.
C) The politicians are third in line. But, without ignorant voters and despicable “journalists”, these scumbags would not be in a position to destroy the greatest and most beneficent nation the world has EVER seen.
3) Clearly, using Obama’s own metrics, he has made this recession WORSE (and longer). If you were paying attention to my comments in ReichLand -- back when Robbie Reich still allowed comments -- you will know that this is exactly what I predicted would happen. Then again, it was obvious to anybody with even a passing knowledge of history that this would be the outcome.
That is bad enough. But, the real tragedy is the crippling debt (aka generational theft) which the Dims created in the process of making matters WORSE! Again -- just as I predicted.
Forgive my simplicity. Lets just get out there and vote for candidates that get the idea of spending less and taxing in the sweet spot that Reagan found when he increased Federal revenue by cutting taxes.

Thomas,
1) Thanks again for your thoughts.
2) There is plenty of blame to go around.
