Times Free Press says........MOVE ALONG!

[LottaKash]

excerpt from that article...

That’s because your jobs creation plans so far have included a ridiculous government spending spree and punitive tax increase on job creators that were passed, as well as a minimum wage increase that, thankfully, was not. Economists — and regular folks with a basic understanding of math — understand that these are three of the most damaging policies imaginable when a country is mired in unemployment and starving for job growth.

Yeah, this time it's a newspaper doing the hating ........

[Ocala Mike]

Not an "article," but an editorial.


From Wikipedia:


"The Times Free Press runs two editorial pages, one staunchly liberal, the other staunchly conservative, reflecting the editorial leanings of the Times and Free Press."

Hmm...wonder whose turn it was to run this one. Like the OP says, move along, nothing to see here.

:lol:If there were only a message to attack in that piece. :lol: I swear there has to central data base somewhere to attack Obama with. We see the same twisted facts repeated over and over again from different sources. Only the die hard right wingers pay any attention anymore. To everybody else, it is just another "I hate Obama" rant. The message is fading further away with "new" piece. Let the conservative posters patting each other on the back begin anew now.

Yep, but the thing is, there is never a lack of subject material and reasons to fuel and sustain these feelings and attitudes.

What if the poor economy is not the current president's fault? What if it is part of a giant trend -- afterall, the whole world is struggling.

England had the first industrial revolution starting about 1750. The U.S. had the second one starting about 1870.

The standard of living from ancient Rome until about 1750 hadn't changed much. Electricity, industrialization, the train, automobile and airplane changed everything.

By Benjamin Wallace-Wells

New York magazine, July 21, 2013

What if everything we've come to think of as American is predicated on a freak coincidence of economic history? And what if that coincidence has run its course?

(full story here: http://www.mauldineconomics.com/outsidethebox)

...during the whole modern era from 1750 onward – which contains, not coincidentally, the full life span of the United States – human well-being accelerated at a rate that could barely have been contemplated before. Instead of permanent stagnation, growth became so rapid and so seemingly automatic that by the fifties and sixties the average American would roughly double his or her parents' standard of living. In the space of a single generation, for most everybody, life was getting twice as good.

At some point in the late sixties or early seventies, this great acceleration began to taper off. The shift was modest at first, and it was concealed in the hectic up-and-down of yearly data. But if you examine the growth data since the early seventies, and if you are mathematically astute enough to fit a curve to it, you can see a clear trend: The rate at which life is improving here, on the frontier of human well-being, has slowed.

If Obama had any smidgeon of interest in job creation, he would have okayed the Keystone XL Pipeline last year.
The Transcanada Pipeline company claims that it will produce 20,000 shovel ready jobs today.
Obama told the New York Times this week that he thinks it will only be 2000, so he wants more research on it. :rolleyes:
The Canadian Prime Minister and his cabinet have called the project's go ahead a "no brainer" and are furious with his stance.
Obama prefers Venezuela and Saudi Arabia instead.
Go figure.

No. Obama prefers Warren Buffett. Buffett made a giant investment in railroads. If there is no pipeline then oil gets shipped by railcar.

[Tom]

Now GF, Obama says the pipeline will only create 50 jobs.
He wouldn't lie, would he? :lol:

He should ask the Quebecers in Lac-Megantic about that.

There is. They're called historical facts.

Compare the Obama recovery to the Reagan recovery.

Those are facts too. You must not do that though.......the numbers lie. Right?
