Numbers don't lie: The real Obamanomics
Unemployment, jobs numbers, pay, home ownership raise alarms
Published: 3 days ago

Twenty years ago, when Democrats tried to oust an incumbent Republican president from office, they questioned his economic stewardship. Vice presidential candidate Al Gore famously bellowed: “Everything that ought to be down is up, and everything that should be up is down!”

The argument seems more relevant today than it was in late 1992.

www.fairchanceatjobs.comRepub... are trying to fire an incumbent Democrat president amid the worst economic recovery since the Depression. And the economic news is not getting better for Barack Obama as the race heads into the final lap.

This was not the case on the eve of the 1992 election, when economic reports revealed both GDP and payrolls were in fact growing at a robust clip following a comparably mild recession.

Still, Gore indicted the record of President George H.W. Bush with stat after stat – stale as they were – showing lackluster economic performance.

He zeroed in jobs and incomes to show indicators that were wrongly down, and unemployment and the federal deficit to highlight what was errantly up.

Applying Gore’s test to Obama’s economic record produces far worse results.
Here’s a breakdown:

•When Obama entered office in January 2009, total nonfarm payroll employment stood at 133.56 million, according to the Labor Department. Last month it totaled 133.30 million – a net decrease of more than 260,000 jobs. Considering the recession ended more than three years ago, any employment shortfall is unusual; but economists call the Obama jobs gap downright shocking.
•In 2009, real median household income was $52,195, according to the Census Bureau’s annual survey. Last year it dropped to $50,054 – the lowest level since 1989. When it comes to pay raises, those Americans who are working aren’t just running in place, they’re going backwards – by decades.
•When Obama stepped into the Oval Office in January 2009, consumer confidence was 61.2 percent. In August, the index stood at 60.6 percent. At this point in a recovery, economists say confidence should be soaring. But consumers remain unusually glum about the economic outlook.
•In January 2009, the jobless rate was 7.8 percent. Last month, unemployment stood at an even higher 8.1 percent, marking the 43rd consecutive month above 8 percent – the longest stretch since the Depression.
•In Obama’s first year in office, the share of impoverished Americans stood at 14.3 percent, the Census says. In 2011, the poverty rate climbed to 15.0 percent – the highest in almost two decades. The share of African-Americans in poverty was nearly double that level.
•In January 2009, the federal budget gap was reported to be $485 billion.
Last month the deficit increased $191 billion to $1.16 trillion – topping
$1 trillion for the fourth straight year. At 10 percent of the economy, it’s the highest level of red ink since WWII.
As the president was speaking at the Democratic National Committee, the gross national debt hit an all-time high of $16 trillion – an amount roughly equal to the size of the entire Gross Domestic Product.

The debt crisis threatens to further tarnish America’s sterling credit. Under Obama, U.S. Treasury debt already has been downgraded for the first time in American history, meaning the U.S. government no longer ranks among risk-free borrowers.

A recent economic study found that when a nation’s gross debt reaches 90 percent of its economy, it often loses about one percentage point of growth a year. And slower growth can reduce the number of jobs created, which in turn can depress family incomes.

The Obama camps insists Americans are better off than they were four years ago. “Absolutely,” asserted Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter when asked the proverbial presidential campaign question earlier this month.

But the so-called misery index says otherwise.

Perhaps the clearest barometer of the economic health of citizens, the misery index adds the inflation rate to the unemployment rate. A combination of higher unemployment and inflation wreaks havoc on consumers – which is precisely what has happened under Obama, as Americans are squeezed by lower wages and higher prices for food and gas.

When the president took over the reins of the country in January 2009, the U.S. Misery Index stood at 7.8 percent. It’s now exactly two full percentage points higher, at 9.8 percent.

Like Obama, former President Reagan took office during a severe recession. But in contrast, Reagan was able to cut the misery index in half during his first term.

By almost every objective measure, Americans are in fact worse off than they were four years ago. In fact, Obama never really pulled the country “out of the ditch,” as the president claims.

“Sadly, we have never really recovered from the recession,” Hoover Institution economist Edward Lazear said. “The economy has not even returned to its long-term growth rate and is certainly not making up lost ground.”

He explains that during the postwar period leading up to the recession, the average annual growth rate for the U.S. was 3.4 percent. Since then, the economy has grown at an anemic clip of slightly north of 2 percent – well below the long-term trend.



That means, at this point, the overall economy is a whopping 12 percent smaller than it would have been had it resumed the growth path since the recession, Lazear says.

As the economy has stagnated, the poor, minorities and the working class – groups Obama champions – have suffered the most. Several indicators illustrate just how bad things have gotten for the lower and middle classes.

Consider the following:

•There are 12 million more Americans on food stamps since Obama’s recovery started.
•The total number on food stamps – 46 million – is the highest on record.
•More than 1 million workers have joined Social Security’s disability rolls over the last three years.
•Black teen unemployment, now at 37 percent, is near Depression-era highs.
•The share of Americans who’ve been out of work a long time – now roughly 40 percent of the unemployed – is the highest since the Depression.
•The proportion of the civilian working-age population that is actually working, now at 58 percent, is the smallest since the Carter era.
•3 in 10 young adults can’t find jobs and are living with their parents – the highest level since the 1950s, according to Pew Research Center.
•54 percent of bachelor’s degree-holders under the age of 25 – aka Generation O:
the age cohort who voted for Obama – are jobless or underemployed, the highest share in decades, according to Northeastern University.
•Total government dependency – defined as the share of Americans receiving one or more federal benefit payments, now at 47 percent – is the highest level in American history.
•The national homeownership rate, now at 65 percent, is the lowest in 15 years.
•The 30-point gap between black and white Americans who own their own homes is the widest in two decades and one of the widest chasms on record, Census data show.
Obama blames the Bush administration for the raft of negative superlatives and historically bad indicators. He maintains that he inherited a severe economic crisis that will require more time and more government spending to remedy.

While it’s true he inherited a severe recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research says it actually ended in June 2009 – just five months into Obama’s term.

After the president quickly got his jobs stimulus bill and other legislative pieces of his economic recovery package through a Democrat-controlled Congress, his economists confidently forecast strong GDP and employment numbers for 2010-2012 and beyond. His budget office, moreover, forecast shrinking deficits.

Of course, the actual numbers fell miserably short of the White House’s projections. Since the president failed to measure up to his own yardstick, analysts say, he cannot credibly blame his predecessor.

They say it’s plain from Obama’s rosy economic forecasts that he was convinced his big-government solutions – otherwise known among policy wonks as “Keynesian demand-side” spending programs – would turn around whatever difficulties he inherited from Bush. The reality is, they just made things worse.

August’s weak jobs report, which showed the economy eking out just 96,000 new jobs, is more confirmation the president’s policies are still failing to turn the economy around. And with weekly claims for unemployment benefits on the rise again, economists don’t expect jobs reports for September and October to be much better.

During his Democratic National Committee keynote address, former President Bill Clinton – who 20 years ago made hay of the elder Bush’s economic woes – assured voters that Obama was building the foundation of a new economy, which he called “shared prosperity.”

Trouble is, there’s not much prosperity to share.

Just The Historical facts-

The Democrat Party Worked & Fought to Keep Slaves and Keep Slavery.


While Thomas Jefferson, the founder of what evolved into the Democratic Party, had argued that slavery was bad not only for the slave but also for the slave owner, John C. Calhoun, had turned this principle on its head: slavery was good not only for the slave holder, but also for the slave.
Calhoun’s fundamental enterprise was to defend the institution of slavery. To do so, he first had to overturn the principles of the American Founding. He started with the Declaration of Independence, arguing that "[the proposition ’all men are created equal’] as now understood, has become the most false and dangerous of all political errors….We now begin to experience the danger of admitting so great an error to have a place in the declaration of independence." Thus Calhoun transformed the Democratic Party of Jefferson into the Party of Slavery.

Then The Democrat Party Imposed Jim Crow Laws, including "the Poll Taxes"...and of lynching-

The Democratic Party’s war against African-Americans continued after the Civil War (which many Democrats in fact opposed, often working actively to undercut the Union war effort). Democrats, both north and south fought the attempt to implement the equality for African-Americans gained at such a high cost. This opposition was often violent. Indeed, the Ku Klux Klan operated as the de facto terrorist arm of the national Democratic Party during Reconstruction.
Democrats defeated Reconstruction in the end and on its ruins created Jim Crow. Democratic liberalism did not extend to issue of race. Woodrow Wilson was the quintessential "liberal racist," a species of Democrat that later included the likes of William Fulbright of Arkansas, Sam Ervin of North Carolina, and Albert Gore, father of Al, of Tennessee...


...In the 1920s, the Republican Party platform routinely called for anti-lynching legislation. The Democrats rejected such calls in their own platforms.

Then The Democrat Party Fought to KEEP Segregation, Separate-but-Equal laws, and AGAINST the Civil Rights Laws-

Even the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which supposedly established the Democrats’ bona fides on race, was passed in spite of the Democrats rather than because of them. Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen pushed the bill through the Senate, despite the no-votes of 21 Democrats, including Gore Sr. and Robert Byrd... In contrast, only four Republicans opposed the bill, mostly like Barry Goldwater on libertarian principles, not segregationist ones. [MY NOTES: Like it matters if you're WRONG because of "Libertarian views" or because of "gegregationist views".]

The Democrat Party's Stand on Education is Pro-Unions and Anti-Choice, deliberately hurting Blacks-


Take the issue of education. The single biggest obstacle to the achievement of true equality in the United States is not poverty, but education. If Democrats sincerely wished to help the minority children on whose behalf they claim to labor, they would embrace school choice to help such children escape the trap of sub-standard schools.

The Democrat Party and Affirmative Action, Codified Racism-


"Affirmative action" has become the touchstone of Democratic racial politics. Democrats portray anyone who opposes affirmative action as racist. But affirmative action, as currently practiced, is racist to the core. It is based on the assumption that African-Americans are incapable of competing with whites. It represents the kind of paternalistic racism that would have done honor to Calhoun. For the modern liberal Democratic racist as for the old-fashioned one, blacks are simply incapable of freedom.

This is from The Wall Street Journal, it recounts the REAL History of The Democrat Party that Obama and the "Modern" Democrats leave out-


The Democrat Party History?

So what's missing?
■There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840 through 1860.
■There is no reference to the number of Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800 through 1861
■There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the subject. There were 20, from 1868 through 1948.
■There is no reference to "Jim Crow" as in "Jim Crow laws," nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them. These were the post-Civil War laws passed enthusiastically by Democrats in that pesky 52-year part of the DNC's missing years. These laws segregated public schools, public transportation, restaurants, rest rooms and public places in general (everything from water coolers to beaches). The reason Rosa Parks became famous is that she sat in the "whites only" front section of a bus, the "whites only" designation the direct result of Democrats.
■There is no reference to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner, became "a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party." Nor is there reference to University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease's description of the Klan as the "terrorist arm of the Democratic Party."

wrong. it's one or the other. when a person claims to be an independent, they are just waiting to be told what to think.

A liberal is someone who favors censorship of Christianity plus increased government spending and power, as in ObamaCare. Increasingly, liberals side with the homosexual agenda, including supporting same-sex marriage. Many liberals favor a welfare state where people receive endless entitlements without working. Liberals are often anti-Christian, or otherwise disagree with moral or social principles held by many American Christians. The liberal ideology has worsened over the years and degenerated into economically delusional views and intolerant ideology. Some liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of conservative principles without having any meaningful values of their own.

Polling data has consistently shown that an increasingly large percentage of Americans identify as conservative, rather than as liberal, currently by a ratio of 2:1.[2]

The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties. Yet today, decades later, Democrats and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they "donate" money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.

A liberal generally supports many of the following political positions and practices:

Spending money on government programs (the significant economic problems in the Eurozone due to government debt will no doubt increasingly discredit this aspect of liberal ideology and make things more difficult for advocates of liberal economic ideologies)
Government's ability to solve economic problems[3]
The belief that terrorism is not a huge threat, and that the main reason for Muslim extremists' hostility towards America is because of bad foreign policy [4]
Taxpayer-funded and/or legalized abortion
Censorship of teacher-led prayer in classrooms and school/state-sponsored religious events
Support for gun control
Affirmative action[5]
Support of obscenity, pornography and violence in video games as a First Amendment right[6]
Government-funded medical care, such as Obamacare
Taxpayer-funded and government-controlled public education
Insisting that men and women be placed in the same jobs in the military
Legalized same-sex marriage and homosexual adoption
Tax and spend
Support for economic sector regulations[7]
Support and spreading of political correctness
Support of non-syndicalist labor unions
Encouraging promiscuity through sexual education (the teaching of safe sex) rather than teaching abstinence from premarital sex[8]
A "living Constitution" that is reinterpreted as liberals prefer, rather than how it is thought to have been intended.
Government programs to rehabilitate criminals
Abolition of the death penalty
Environmentalism[9]
Globalism
Opposition to the integration of church and state.
Opposition to full private property rights.[10]
Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine
In 2005, it was reported by CBS News that liberals were the most likely supporters of the theory of evolution.
Opposition to domestic wire-tapping as authorized in the Patriot Act
Opposition of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a major part of the War on Terrorism
Withholds support to the War on Terrorism and the War in Iraq
Tolerance of different ideas and lifestyles
Do not support a laissez-faire capitalist economy and support regulation of business
Liberals currently use two clauses to try and expand their power: the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause. The general welfare clause mentions "promoting the general welfare". This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money. The commerce clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the indian tribes. Since the days of FDR this clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act(ACA), better know as Obamacare. In the ACA, the liberals justify the individual mandate by saying it regulates commerce between the states.
