Another lie, Obummer is the worst president this country has ever seen Mc Liar.

Why Democrats fail on the economy June 7, 2016 Updated 3:46 p.m. The primaries, where Democrats debate over who loves African Americans the most, and Republicans debate who loves Jesus more, are over. Now, both parties must sell us on who will be best for the economy. Hillary Clinton said that, as president, she would put Bill Clinton in charge of the economy. Yes, the feminist icon is letting the man handle the checkbook. Bill wants an office in the basement of the White House so Hillary can’t just pop in on him. Maybe Bill Clinton’s first move to reduce costs at the White House will be to fire the older salaried employees and hire interns. In reality, while President Obama grasps at taking credit for an economy that will go down in history as the weakest of any president’s, he’s only spinning it. Obama will be the only president ever to preside over an eight-year period without a single year of at least 3 percent GDP growth. Oh, and he doubled our federal debt, adding more debt (about $10 trillion) than all 43 presidents before him. He says he led us out of the recession with all his community organizing skills. He was inaugurated in January 2009, and the recession ended that June. He and Senate Majority Leader “Dingy” Harry Reid had not even unpacked their copies of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” yet. Obama acted like that the end of the recession was such a major accomplishment, but the reality is that we have had 47 recessions in the U.S. since records have been kept, dating back to 1790. Recessions come along every five years or so, and we come out of every one of them. His right-hand hatchet man Rahm Emanuel, said it best: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” Obama preyed on the economic fears of the country to load on big-government regulations and taxes that have, in fact, slowed the economy. Per the Wall Street Journal, “Mr. Obama will likely go down as having the worst economic-growth record of any president since the trough of the Great Depression in 1933 – over eight decades spanning 13 administrations, Mr. Obama thus far has overseen 1.7 percent average annual economic growth.” Big recessions are historically followed by robust recoveries. This didn’t happen under Obama because he decided to grow government, not jobs and the economy. Ronald Reagan inherited a recession from Jimmy Carter in 1981, but Reagan grew the economy an average of 4.6 percent a year by getting government out of the way and by cutting taxes. Obama touts the unemployment rate, now 4.7 percent, but that number is misleading. New unemployment claims slow seven years after a recession ended. Workers can’t claim but about 99 weeks of unemployment. The real number to watch is the dismal labor-force participation rate, down to 62 percent from 66 percent when Obama took office. The latest bad jobs numbers tell us that 94 million Americans are not in the labor force. Our country’s safety net has become a hammock. An estimated 18 percent of unmarried males and 23 percent of unmarried women ages 25-54 are not in the labor force. It is now cool to be a layabout; Obama blames everyone else but the mooch. No wonder Hillary Clinton is distancing herself from Obama’s economic record. He has created costly government, not jobs. He has picked industries he doesn’t like, such as coal, for-profit colleges, payday lending, etc., and instructed his goons to regulate them out of business. Donald Trump resonates with the American people because this supposed recovery has not helped the middle class, as Democrats had promised. The average family now makes $53,700 per year, down from about $56,000 when Obama started working his “magic” on the economy. And now it is estimated that the average family pays $15,000 a year in regulatory costs. The Competitive Enterprise Institute says this hidden tax, in the form of 3,600 new regulations and 175,000 pages in the “Code of Federal Regulations,” includes more than 1 million regulatory restrictions that burden every family. They just don’t see it. Restaurants and limos are busy in D.C., but not in Toledo. Obama had no business experience. He couldn’t even get hired as head of diversity at Trump University. Ditto for other liberal “stewards of our economy” like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Reid grew up in a Nevada town with no high school and worked as a janitor cleaning brothels before becoming the Senate leader of the Democratic Party – a lateral move.

She's such a pathetic piece of garbage, just like you.

The 2nd Q is sucking just as bad if not worse.

I just showed you the facts and in 2016 the economy does indeed suck.

U.S. economy grew at anemic 0.2% pace in Q1 Paul Davidson, USA TODAY 7 p.m. EDT April 29, 2015 The economy slowed significantly in the first quarter as cold weather, a strong dollar and shipping snags dampened activity. Gross domestic product — the value of goods and services produced in the U.S. — expanded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.2% in first quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That's down from 2.2% in the fourth quarter. The report was the government's first estimate of first-quarter GDP. Two revised estimates, based on more complete data, will be published in May and June. First-quarter growth was substantially less than the 1% expected by economists surveyed by Action Economics. STOCKS WEDNESDAY: How markets are doing Analysts say the slowdown largely reflects temporary factors, such as harsh weather and a labor dispute at West Coast ports that hampered exports and delayed deliveries to factories and retailers. Other economic headwinds could linger, including a strong dollar that's making U.S. goods more expensive for foreign buyers and a pullback in energy company investment amid a plunge in oil prices. Business investment, for example, fell 3.4% after increasing 4.4% in the previous quarter as the muscular greenback dented manufacturers' sales. And investment in non-residential structures plunged 23.1% in the quarter, in large part a consequence of the oil price slump, as energy companies sharply reduced the number of oil drilling rigs. Exports dropped 7.2% as manufacturers lost sales to other countries with more favorable currency exchange rates. Consumer spending, which makes up more than two-thirds of economic activity, also slowed, growing 1.9% compared with 4.4% in the fourth quarter. And government spending declined 0.8% as defense and state and local outlays all fell.

Get used to saying President Trump........chump. That's a big one for sure, if not the biggest issue. People have woken up to the 8 year failure Obummer has been and they're not going to take a chance on another 4 years of Hillbama.

He's put his foot in his mouth plenty of times during his campaign, hasn't stopped him yet has it? Anybody with half a brain can see right through witch Hillary.

The only problem with that statement is Hillary is a proven loser. Trump has yet to prove he's a loser because he's never been a politician, he deserves the chance to prove himself and I hope he gets that chance.

Not even close, actually it's the best looking truck. Those square wheel wells on a chevy are hideous.

Not real bright is he? You should inform him that they make bed liners.

What a stupid video, looks like GM is getting desperate for sales. Nobody in their right mind is gonna dump a load of landscaping blocks into a bare bed. I''l take the aluminum Ford any day because eventually the steel will rust. Ford FTW.

Apparently she needs to redefine her comment about her and willy leaving the white house broke.

MC has been losing it for awhile, it's pathetic to watch.

You're pretty simple also Vince for thinking that Trump will be a loose cannon with nuke codes because he was critical of a judge

SR is picking on someone of his own intelligence level, momo more than likely has him beat by a couple of points

Does bad grammar bother you also?

It's hilarious that a Democrat committed one of the largest municipal crimes in U.S. history. How one of the biggest swindlers in American history built a horse-breeding empire Rita Crundwell outside court in Rockford, Ill., on Nov. 14, 2012. (Alex T. Paschal / The Telegraph) Matt PearceContact Reporter Want to buy 767 horse-championship trophies belonging to one of the biggest swindlers in American history? Now’s your chance. In 2013, a small-town city official by the name of Rita Crundwell was sentenced to almost 20 years in federal prison for stealing at least $53.7 million from the city of Dixon, Ill. Crundwell, the town’s longtime comptroller, used the millions to build a horse-breeding empire so enormous that federal investigators are still auctioning it off, piece by ill-gotten piece. Now the U.S. Marshals Service is taking bids for Crundwell’s hundreds of horse trophies and ribbons, piled up from the years when she dominated quarter horse breeding championships and was known to envious competitors and fans simply as “Rita.” Three and a half years after she was arrested, we continue to be on the hunt for her assets. I think we're getting close to the finish line. — Jason Wojdylo, a chief inspector for the Marshals Service “Three and a half years after she was arrested, we continue to be on the hunt for her assets,” said Jason Wojdylo, a chief inspector for the Marshals Service who has spent that time chasing and seizing Crundwell’s money and property. “I think we’re getting close to the finish line.” Crundwell, 62, had been a star before her fall from grace. Hundreds of her quarter horses were sold in 2012 in a spectacular auction that drew thousands of visitors from all over the country, reportedly jamming hotels for miles around. One of Crundwell’s world-champion horses, Good I Will Be, brought $775,000 from a Canadian bidder. The feds have auctioned off frozen horse semen — valuable to breeders — a lavish motor home, trucks and trailers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, which Crundwell acquired while making $80,000 a year from the city of Dixon, population 15,333. A current online auction for 290 items including Crundwell’s clothes, shoes and handbags is a little more intimate, but no less unusual. Fifteen bids have driven the cost of one T-shirt from a 2008 quarter horse championship to $205. NFL great Terry Bradshaw had signed the shirt, adding the message, “Rita, you are the best!” The word “best” is underlined. Rita Crundwell's horse trophies are up for sale by U.S. Marshals Service officials trying to recoup the $53.7 million she stole from the city of Dixon, Ill. (U.S. Marshal's Service) At the time, among quarter horse owners, Crundwell was the best. Now, among residents, she’s reviled. In October, a local columnist jokingly suggested readers could bid for one of Crundwell’s city of Dixon shirts — sewn with the name “Rita” and now going for $10 — to make a “Killer Comptroller” Halloween costume. “This is the Rita outfit that says you’re here to work,” Brenden West wrote for SaukValley.com. “You’re rocking your official city gear that says to everyone you’re here to help Dixon function. No one should question that you’re secretly siphoning off millions from taxpayers when you’re in that unsuspecting salmon polo.” That’s pretty much how it happened. Crundwell started working for the city part time as a high school student and later became city comptroller, a position she held for almost 30 years. “She knew where everything was at,” James Burke, Dixon's then-mayor, told the Los Angeles Times in 2012. “I could ask her for some contracts with the utility company or something several years ago, and she would wheel around and pull something right out of her desk.” He added, “I guess that was her strong point and her weak point.” A co-worker noticed suspicious bank activity while filling in for Crundwell, and an FBI inquiry revealed that the quarter horse queen had been funneling money from the city into her personal accounts since the 1990s. One of Crundwell's champion quarter horses, Good I Will Be, which sold for auction to a Canadian bidder for $750,000. (U.S. Marshal's Service) In just six months, the FBI quietly watched Crundwell take at least $3.2 million from the city before arresting her in April 2012. Dixon’s operating budget is only about $10 million a year. Crundwell pleaded guilty to fraud a few months later. “From the time she started to steal, the city had about $10 million in a fund balance,” said Paula Meyer, Dixon’s current finance director. “By the time she was arrested, we were $22 million in debt.” Before Crundwell was caught, Dixon city employees had gone years without getting raises and streets went unpaved. At an October 2011 City Council meeting, officials fretted over a “fiscal crisis” that prevented them from hiring part-time employees. “The city had been borrowing $5 million a year at the end of it because she was stealing so much,” said Liandro Arellano, a 34-year-old business owner who swept into the mayor’s office along with an all-new City Council this spring. Crundwell’s massive theft prompted an uproar and questions about how she had gotten away with her crimes for so long. Seeking stronger oversight, the city’s voters last year chose to ditch its commissioner system and switch to a city-manager form of government. The city also sued the auditors and bank that failed to catch the fraud and settled for $40 million, though attorneys’ fees claimed about $10 million of that amount. The city has since used the money to help pay off its debts and attend to long-neglected infrastructure projects. The city has gotten less help from Crundwell’s estate. U.S. Marshals have been able to return $9.5 million to Dixon after seizing and selling her assets but are not expecting the total to be much more than $10 million. That’s paltry compared with the $107 million that Wojdylo says Crundwell owed Dixon for restitution plus a monetary judgment awarded to the city. In addition to all of Crundwell’s travel and pay for veterinarians and other employees, “most of the money she stole went through the horses … literally, in the form of hay, feed, and then out of the horses in the form of manure,” Wojdylo said. In a way, Crundwell still works for Dixon: The city is garnishing the pay she gets from her work in federal prison in Waseca, Minn. On average, she earns about $65 a month. “If she was supposed to pay us back $107 million, minus what we recovered … that means she still owes us $97 million,” said Meyer, the finance director, calculating how long Crundwell would have to work to pay back the money on $65 a month. The answer: 124,359 years. “I don’t think she’ll make it,” Meyer said.

Geez dude, Paul Ryan is an alter boy compared to the Clintons

Listen cunt, I've been in the biz for 30 years and have tons of happy customers and referrals and I'm good at what I do. The last couple months the phone literally stopped ringing, so don't tell me all the contractors you know are swamped because the small, independent guys are not. Believe it or not fuckhead, it's slow as hell right now.

Much better fuckface, I just went and looked at my numbers for 2008 and they're way better than they are now.

Business was far better than it is now, it's not even close.
