Officials Officially Pronounce Obama's Stimulus A Massive Failure That Added Billions To The National Debt


    Barack Obama

    Everyone from Alan Greenspan to Barack Obama's economic committee, have pronounced the President's stimulus a catastrophic failure that wasted huge amounts of taxpayer money in the billions. Mainstream newspapers and blogs have gone into overdrive, taking the president to task for the enormous waste that has set America even further behind.

    A year and a half ago, on November 13, 2009, the Judiciary Report predicted this would happen (Obama Calls For Job Summit). It is now being stated this week, it would have been cheaper for Obama to, "Cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the 'stimulus.'”

    STORY SOURCE

    Obama’s Economists: ‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job

    12:07 PM, Jul 3, 2011 - The stimulus is now causing the economy to shed jobs. When the Obama administration releases a report on the Friday before a long weekend, it’s clearly not trying to draw attention to the report’s contents. Sure enough, the “Seventh Quarterly Report” on the economic impact of the “stimulus,” released on Friday, July 1, provides further evidence that President Obama’s economic “stimulus” did very little, if anything, to stimulate the economy, and a whole lot to stimulate the debt.

    The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion. That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.

    In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead...

    Down on the Fourth of July: the United States of gloom

    July 3rd, 2011 - NEWS REVIEW: America’s deepening recession and widespread pessimism about the country’s prospects add a bitter note to Independence Day, reports Toby Harnden, US Editor. Across America today, people will gather for barbecues in their backyards, parades through their towns and firework displays lighting up the night sky. They’ll be celebrating Independence Day – the birthday of the United States and the 235th anniversary of shaking off the oppressive yoke of British rule...

    That’s the good news. On the flip side, however, a country whose hallmark has always been a sense of irrepressible optimism is in the grip of unprecedented uncertainty and self-doubt. With the United States mired in three foreign wars, beaten down by an economy that shows few signs of emerging from deep recession and deeply disillusioned with President Barack Obama, his Republican challengers and Congress, the mood is dark.

    The last comparable Fourth of July was probably in 1980, when there was a recession, skyrocketing petrol prices and an Iranian hostage crisis, with 53 Americans being held in Tehran. Frank Luntz, perhaps America’s pre-eminent pollster, argues that his countrymen are much more downbeat now than in 1980. “The assumption with the Carter years was that it was a failure of the elites, not the system. We thought the people in charge screwed up. We didn’t blame ourselves.” Remarkably, many Americans think things will only get worse and the good times will never return.

    A recent New York Times/CBS poll found that 39 per cent think that “the current economic downturn is part of a long-term permanent decline and the economy will never fully recover”. That was up from 28 per cent last October. Last month, a CNN poll found that 48 per cent of Americans believe another Great Depression is somewhat or very likely.

    Luntz has found that 44 per cent of Americans believe their country’s best days are in the past, 57 per cent that their children will not achieve the same quality of life, and 53 per cent that they are less free than five years ago. So what is going on? ...

Obama Rep Equates Economy With Cancer

    Erksine Bowles

    On July 11, 2010, the co-chairman of U.S. President Barack Obama's Debt Commission, Erksine Bowles, compared the declining American economy to cancer. He said the current national budget and debit is and I quote, "a cancer that will destroy the country from within."

    Yes, I know. I said that already 2-years ago in the article The Global Bush Effect: "It's a financial cancer, that due to international cross collateralization and open-end monetary instruments, is metastasizing, when the problem should have been detected early, and there were symptoms, isolated, contained, then the appropriate treatment applied."

    It's amazing that 2-whole-fiancially-painful-years later and the government still has not improved and is in the same financial sinkhole, only deeper. It's astonishing that it's taken all that time for the government to realize this fact. However, the question is, what are you going to do about it, as talk is cheap.

    Side Bar: Don't talk about cancer around Obama. He will break out a shovel and dig up his best manure in your direction. You would think with someone that smokes the way he has and does, he'd have a vested interest in curing the disease.

    Obama's debt commission warns of fiscal 'cancer'

    Monday, July 12, 2010 - BOSTON -- The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission offered an ominous assessment of the nation's fiscal future here Sunday, calling current budgetary trends a cancer "that will destroy the country from within" unless checked by tough action in Washington.

    The two leaders -- former Republican senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton -- sought to build support for the work of the commission, whose recommendations due later this year are likely to spark a fierce debate in Congress.

    Bowles said that unlike the current economic crisis, which was largely unforeseen before it hit in fall 2008, the coming fiscal calamity is staring the country in the face. "This one is as clear as a bell," he said. "This debt is like a cancer."...

Democrats And Republicans Fighting Over Financial Reform

    U.S. President Barack Obama

    Yes, they're fighting again. This time over financial reform. The Democrats and Republicans in Congress, along with U.S. President, Barack Obama, cannot agree on financial reform for America.

    There is no question it is need, as the country is in financial straits, faced with soaring deficits, job losses, foreclosures and bank collapse, but a suitable and agreeable plan has not been found.

    They need to find one quickly and make sure it is ram packed with budget cuts and the elimination of fruitless, taxpayer wasting programs that only benefit politicians and the rich. Anything less will not contribute to an economic recovery. And everyone can agree, America needs to get out of the current financial quagmire breaking the nation.

Obama Approval Ratings Hit An All Time Low


    Barack Obama

    U.S. President Barack Obama's approval ratings have hit an all time low of 42%. The deteriorating U.S. economy, coupled with his less than satisfactory handling of the BP oil spill, has damaged his presidency.

    Obama's spending initiatives continue to be wasteful and unruly, such as $1.2 billion being spent on plans to get Americans walking and cycling, when a simple series of adverts would have done the trick.

    Pelosi did something similar regarding STD awareness, in trying to squander hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money, which the Judiciary Report denounced.

    The government persists in these plans that fritter away the people's tax dollars and at the worst time in world history, during an unprecedented, raging financial crisis.

    This idiocy is going to set America back even further in the financial world, as that $1.2 billion could be spent more productively or not at all, as the deficit is going to swell to $13 trillion dollars.

    Funding doubled for bicycling, walking projects

    WASHINGTON — A government report says federal transportation spending on biking and walking projects more than doubled to $1.2 billion in President Barack Obama's first year in office.
