At his latest appearance he said the following:
"We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again," Obama told a crowd in Decorah, Iowa. "But over the last six months we've had a run of bad luck." Obama listed three events overseas -- the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, and the European debt crises -- which set the economy back. So basically his latest story is now; "I fixed the recessions but then Egypt; Japan; and Europe screwed it up." This man is a complete and utter failure... Instead of manning up and correcting his failed policies; he has decided to go down in flames while pointing the finger at everyone else. http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/obama-i-reversed-recession-until-bad-luck-hit |

Well I think Obama hasn't managed to change the dynamic of Washington and the national hate machine, I mean the national media, his progressive policies that he speaks of should be compared to more libertarian alternatives. Not this retarded corporate feudalistic class warfare the Right keeps fighting. |

at 6:26 PM, Wednesday August 24, 2011 EDT ultimately what you want is a high multiplier effect... do we really need to invoke the fucking chart of multiplier effects again? I'm sure you remember it rob. Tax cuts had a multiplied of about .73 (meaning tax cuts actually shrunk our economy and productivity) while food stamps had a multiplier effect of 2.71, meaning each dollar of food stamps spent was spent 2.71 times again in the economy. So yeah facts are facts and the fact is tax cuts to the wealthy are actually damaging the nation's productivity and prosperity. Some rich people realize this (Warren Buffet) and recognize it's about fucking time we fix this. Income taxes are at a historical low and as such are only damaging our nation's economy. We need to hike up taxes big time until tax breaks have at least a multiplier of 1.00 before we ever consider cutting taxes again.

1.82 x (Food Stamps) + .04 x (Tax Cuts) + .948 x (TARP) = STFU with that Keynesian crap... |

But there they go again using them to attack libertarians... Grandma will die; the Poor will die; the World will end; blah blah blah. |
