How did raising taxes create jobs? Government consumes it doesn't create

Worst GDP growth ever not been me 1/4 above 3.0 in 8 years lowest work force participation rate in 60 years most Americans on food stamps ever

Reagan's Economy vs. Obama's Hillary Clinton wants Americans to believe the economy does better with a Democratic president in the White House. That is simply false. Unless a president fails to effectively address an unfolding economic disaster — as did George W. Bush and Herbert Hoover — comparing one with another is tricky business. So much depends on the circumstances each inherits and the state of the wider global economy. The best apples-to-apples comparison is between the rather difficult conditions Presidents Reagan and Obama inherited and how the fortunes of America's families then progressed — with Reagan relying on conservative prescriptions and Obama on activist government to stimulate growth. Obama took office during a terrible financial crisis and endured a punishing recession. Unemployment peaked at 10 percent in his first term, but since then the economy has rebounded and added 13.2 million jobs. Employment is up about 10 percent. The Gipper faced tough times too — double-digit unemployment and interest rates and a bruising recession. Unemployment peaked at 10.8 percent, but subsequently the economy added more than 17.2 million jobs. Employment rose about 20 percent. The reason Reagan was able to create so many more jobs — in a much smaller economy — is simple. It wasn't just lower taxes and less spending but rather more reliance on private decisionmaking to guide the recovery. He cleared a path for businesses, large and small, to invest as they deemed fit and raise wages as they decided they could afford, and he encouraged the unemployed to get out and look for work. Mr. Obama, by contrast, has sought to micromanage business through an explosion of regulations, and to pacify a middle class under siege and Americans underemployed or not working at all with giveaways — from free contraception to forgiving college debt, from subsidies for solar energy projects and mandatory health insurance to incessant preaching that ordinary folks are victims of racism, sexism, and the evil machinations of the well-off. Through the first 25 quarters of Mr. Obama's recovery, GDP growth has averaged 2.2 percent, whereas during the comparable period for Reagan, GDP advanced at a 4.6 percent annual pace. And whereas Reagan's social safety net assisted the unemployed, Mr. Obama's pays the unemployed to be idle. The 7 million men between the ages of 25 and 54 who are neither employed nor looking for work are rewarded with food stamps, the Earned Income Tax Credit if their spouse is a low-income worker, and federal health-care subsidies — and even virtually free health care through Medicaid in many states. For folks refusing to do anything productive with their lives, Mr. Obama is offering an even more attractive benefit — free money in the form of a government pension. Despite the fact that Americans are living healthier and longer lives and work is generally less physically challenging, the percentage of adults ages 16 to 64 certified as permanently incapable of working by the Social Security Disability Insurance program now stands at 5.1 percent — about double the figure in Reagan's day. A broken appeals system offers a decided advantage to those crafty applicants who hire a lawyer — a situation the Obama administration refuses to fix. For hard-working families, the results are predictable — annual family incomes have declined about $1,650 during the Obama years, whereas they increased $3,900 during Reagan's tenure. Hillary Clinton is offering Americans more of the same — higher taxes to pay for more government giveaways and more micromanagement in the form of regulation of private-sector decisions on wages. For the indolent, this is the Second Age of Pericles, but for those who toil for their daily bread, Clinton’s pronouncements that Americans would be better off doubling down on Obama’s economic policies doesn’t bear the test of facts.

US Economic Growth Downgraded; Largest One Year Drop EVER October 5, 2016 By C.E. Dyer 2 Comments You are here: Home / US / US Economic Growth Downgraded; Largest One Year Drop EVER According to the left, things are just great thanks to President Obama. Back in the real word, facts, figures, common sense and the real life experiences of millions of Americans tells a much different story. A recent report released by the International Monetary Fund debunked Obama’s claim that the economy is just fine. The Washington Free Beacon reported: “Softer-than-expected activity in the second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016 points to some loss in momentum in the United States, despite a mildly supportive fiscal stance and a slower projected pace of monetary policy normalization,” the International Monetary Fund stated. “A prolonged inventory correction cycle and weak business investment has prompted a downward revision of the 2016 forecast to 1.6 percent,” according to the IMF. The IMF report continued, “The weakness in business fixed investment appears to reflect the continued (albeit moderating) decline in capital spending in the energy sector, the impact of recent dollar strength on investment in export-oriented industries, and possibly also the financial market volatility and recession fears of late 2015 and early 2016.” In particular, the IMF knocked down Obama’s offensive claim that unemployment is down without any mention of the other factors, such as the labor participation rate, that negate his victory lap. “In some counties (such as the United States) the decline in unemployment to pre-crisis levels somewhat overstates the recovery in employment, given the decline in labor force participation,” the report read. “This has not, however, been the case in other advanced economies, where in many cases participation rates are above pre-crisis levels.” Maurice Obstfeld, chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, discussed the need for strong leadership to right the struggling global economy. “The world economy has moved sideways,” Obstfeld said. “Without determined policy action to support economic activity over the short and longer terms, sub-par growth at recent levels risks perpetuating itself—through the negative economic and political forces it is unleashing.” In my book, that’s a stellar endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, whether it was intended as such (doubtful) or not. The United States needs strong leadership domestically, but the fact that this country is still the leader of the free world means the rest of the world needs us to have strong leadership as well.

I would say I can't believe Snowrider would post anything about last nights debate after the beating Kaine took but this fool probably thinks Kaine won

What does have to do with Hillary using a private email server to hide her Pay for play with the Clinton foundation as the secretary of state?

California petitions to become first state to offer ObamaCare to illegal immigrants Published October 04, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Print Now Playing Calif. seeks to expand health care for illegal immigrants California’s health care exchange is requesting that it be allowed a waiver from ObamaCare regulations in order to allow illegal immigrants to buy insurance on the exchange – which would make California the first state to extend ObamaCare to illegal immigrants. In a Sept. 30 letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Covered California’s Executive Director Peter Lee said that the Affordable Care Act has been “tremendously successful” in the state and has cut the rate of uninsured in half. “While millions of Californians have benefitted from coverage purchased through the Covered California marketplace, certain individuals are prohibited from buying insurance through our state marketplace due to their immigration status,” Lee wrote, before requesting the waiver. The Affordable Care Act technically bars illegal immigrants from insurance exchanges, but in June Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that allowed the state to apply for a federal waiver to open Covered California to illegal immigrants living in California. The bill’s sponsor said such a waiver would allow 390,000 illegal immigrants to receive health insurance. However, even if the Obama administration green-lights the waiver, the insurance plans that would be offered – California Qualified Health Plans – would not be subsidized. The Department for Health and Human Services did not respond to a request for comment from FoxNews.com. Critics have objected to the plan, saying it is the latest sign the federal government misrepresented the purpose of the law. “This is the first step in another misrepresentation of the Affordable Care Act,” Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform told US News & World Report in June. “It was sold to the American people on the fact that you wouldn’t have to subsidize health care for illegal immigrants.” The issue of whether ObamaCare would be available to illegal immigrants was highly contentious in the debate building up to the law’s passage in 2010. In an address to a joint session of Congress in 2009, the president said ObamaCare would not apply to illegal immigrants, to which Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C. shouted “You lie!” Obama immediately responded, “That’s not true. That's not true" Wilson was heavily criticized for his outburst and later apologized. FoxNews.com’s Adam Shaw and Fox News’ Lee Ross contributed to this report.

Vince and MC will ignore this

I think the the cop is an asshole but the guy should have complied and there would have been an issue and then he could have filed suit against the cop and the department. Why give these rogue cops any ammunition against you??!

Juan Williams saying Kaine did well. What a fucking joke.

Pense should be the guy running for president

Go be a cop for a year then lets talk. Not condoning his behavior but until you walk in a cops shoes you have no right to judge.

I watched for five minutes and shut it off when it became clear the Tim Kaine is Snowriders twin brother. I blocked that idiot three weeks ago and it's made my FS experience 1000 times better. I figure I will listen to the pundits weigh in after. No need to be irritated for 90 minutes by a shit for brains moron.

Why don't you shut up already. Obamacare is a fucking scam to end insurance so we can go on single payer.

This is how stupid you at. Do you know the phrase "conspiracy theory" was invented by the CIA? You're hust a fucking sheep http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-02-23/1967-he-cia-created-phrase-conspiracy-theorists-and-ways-attack-anyone-who-challenge

What kind if f wood do you guys use and do you use different kinds for each type of meat

This skit was as stupid as I'd thought it would be. I laughed a few times simply because it was so blatantly biased in support of Hillary

There's no such thing as a conservative media outlet

You are mistaken Michigan got nothing out of that drive either punted or missed a field goal. Brian Griese sounded like he was trying to not sound biased all day. As a matter of fact he tried to hard in some instances. Youre just butt hurt that Michigan made wiskyd offense look like a joke after they punked sparty last week

You're so bitter about Michigan. How is it michigans fault they called those penalties. how many breaks does sparty get?? Reversed int tonight on a non pass interference. BS holding call on the opening kick off against ND. You should really stop crying

Go read the box score Michigan was flagged far more then Wisky. Michigan beat wisky up. You can't miss three field goals. Other then the INT Drive wisky didn't move the ball. Last week wisky made Sparty its bitch
