There are several possible responses to the news that President Obama once again wants to focus on job creation. What’s your favorite?
1. Hasn’t he punished us enough already?
2. Didn’t “recovery summer” solve that problem?
3. I thought we already “created or saved” millions of jobs?
4. See picture.
5. Didn’t Clint Eastwood say “A man’s gotta know his limitations.”?
6. Can I be a bureaucrat and get overpaid for doing nothing?
7. WTF, OMG, LMAO!
8. If we do another stimulus, can I take a turn flushing the money?
9. Is this why we keep pushing higher tax rates?
And just in case we don’t realize the President’s commitment to this task, here’s a short new video.
How about. . .

In answering the question, “What can government do to create jobs?” the Left give one of two answers: 1) create federally funded stimulus projects, which have been recently proven to be waste; or 2) give companies incentives to invest in R&D. This is often achieved with “loopholes,” that often go to promising “millionaires and billionaires,” something Obama and the Left just spent the better part of our Summer crying about. Makes sense: close loopholes in order to open others.
I have to say that I’m a bit surprised that things are that bad already, because the most fundamental and truly pernicious of the Obama administration’s measures have NOT yet kicked in. Like the most indolence inviting structural change modern America has ever faced, whereby, if you drop your productivity below $90K per year, you get someone else to pay for most of your health insurance and care. How’s that not going to deliver a below the belt punch to American GDP, I do not know…

Pressure from the emerging world had already narrowed the American margin of advantage significantly. Obama’s changes have, I think, put America past the tipping point. Seems like Americans reacted to the financial crisis in textbook self destructive fashion.
The really sad thing is the number of Leftist idiots that still believe him, and blame the consequences of his actions on anything and everyone else.
If Obama said black was white, they’d compliment him on his colour-blindness and call you a racist for objecting.
Ask Obama these questions:
+ Which businessmen in the country are doing great work by employing people at a profit and supplying desired products?
+ Why does he want to cut their salaries by raising their taxes by 10 percentage points (30% increases in marginal tax rates)?
I guess 3rd should be posed as a serious question to him.
3. I thought we already “created or saved” millions of jobs?
