    If the economy is doing so well under Obama and Democrats

    Then WHY

    Is the labor participation rate down?

    Are there more people on food stamps?

    Is the median income down?

    Is home ownership down?

    Did the US credit rating get downgraded?

     

    SR is oblivious to the facts, he only believes the lies found in his memes.

    Poor Anal Lube Liar

    While Obama can talk the bark off a banyan tree, he cannot make Americans hallucinate prosperity. Here is the sad picture they actually see. Labor Force Participation Rate on Obama’s watch has fallen from 65.7 percent to 62.8 percent, a level last measured before Obama in March 1978. Meanwhile, annualized GDP growth nearly stalled in the first quarter at a meager 0.5 percent. This is down from already tepid 1.4 percent growth in the fourth quarter of 2015. Obama is the only U.S. chief executive in history not to preside over even a single year with 3 percent GDP growth. During the Obama years, the number of Americans below the poverty line is up 3.5 percent. Real median household income: down 2.3 percent. Americans on Food Stamps — 33 million then, 46 million now: up 39.5 percent. Americans who own homes: down 5.6 percent. National debt — $10.63 trillion then vs. $19.19 trillion last Wednesday: up 80.5 percent. Meanwhile, millions of college-educated Millennials are languishing in their parents’ basements and wallowing in student debt, with limited prospects. Many of those who have found work lag their predecessors. A recent report by New York City’s Democratic comptroller Scott Stringer found that Gotham employees born between 1985 and 1996 earn roughly 20 percent less than their peers a generation earlier. Lack of work and lower wages are a recipe for student-debt hangovers. Robust economic growth is the cure. “This generation is at a crossroads. They worked hard, got an education and then faced roadblocks to getting a good-paying job,” Stringer told U.S. News and World Report. “We need to foster an economy here that helps young people get ahead, not one that holds them back. Under Obama Insurance companies are fleeing Obamacare’s exchanges. Amid $650 million in expected losses this year, UnitedHealth announced that it would medevac itself out of all but “a handful” of its 34 state markets. The percentage of families in which no one is employed has grown from 17.8 in 2008 to 19.7 in 2015, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports.  As the Wall Street Journal’s Dan Henninger has noted, even the Clintons acknowledge Obama’s economic wreckage. Americans are suffering “the awful legacy of the last eight years,” Bill Clinton said in March. He explained on April 26, “The problem is, 80 percent of the American people are still living on what they were living on the day before the crash [of 2008]. And about half the American people, after you adjust for inflation, are living on what they were living on the last day I was president, 15 years ago. In Obama’s eighth year, Americans remain in pain.

    Republicans only care about themselves, Democrats care about everyone and govern as such.

    You can post last here. I am done.

     

    That's why Obama is the food stamp president, what an extraordinary legacy that loser has established.

    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.

    And let's not forget 2008 when the primary was much closer than this year....she waited but graciously bowed out and did her part to bring the primary voters together.   Finally - the only people supoorting a liar are the Rump Pumpers :bc:

    Someone better let them know the economy sucks.

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

    This is not a sign of a recession. Consumer spending is up and credit use is down. Americans are spending cash for sure.

    U.S. economy grew at anemic 0.2% pace in Q1

    Davidson_Paul.png 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.

    A huge amount of Trump supporters simple don't care if he puts his foot in his mouth.   He has many times over already.   It will come down to who they hate more and how bad they want a vote to count.  Some polls show Clinton thought of as more untrustworthy as Trump and that says a lot.   The list of reasons why Trump can win is still long.

    People continue to underestimate factors like a party winning 3 terms in a row and the state of the economy will be put on Hillary's shoulders.  Those two alone play a big role.  

    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 has a valid point. Everybody knows now that they can rattle Trump and he will likely respond with childish banter. eventually he is going to put his foot in his mouth and wont be able to remove it. His only chance is for someone to reel him in on his rhetoric. And I am not playing sides here, I am very well established as a Hillary hater...

    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.

    Let me reiterate.....there are no winners in a game of losers.

    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.

    My buddy had a hitch laying in the back of his aluminum Ford....and he hit a bump and it went right thru the bed.....i will see if I can find the picture he sent me.

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

  13. 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.

    You are wrong.   I don't want to send them ALL back.   I do want to send any of them who have committed a certain level of crime back after they have SERVED THEIR TIME!  I'm pretty sure this is Trumps stance.  

    I realize we cannot send them all back but the path to citizenship must be difficult and have certain requirements.  Having an anchor baby alone should not get you citizenship.

    Now because Mexico is our largest trading partner and that is the reason we shouldn't secure the border.  :lmao: Thought you Bernie supporters hated free trade.   You really do crack me up.   

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