Just in case you’re one of the 12 million Americans still struggling to find a job in the New Normal, Barack Obama has a message that will clarify the situation:
Screw you.
Know what this nation really needs right now? An all-in battle against carbon, which is after all the cause of “our greatest global threat,” waged entirely by executive order. The Wall Street Journal explains the extent to which Obama is willing to eviscerate the economy in the pursuit of this objective. It’s not pretty:
The higher costs will ripple through the energy chain, which is precisely Mr. Obama’s goal. Only by artificially raising the cost of carbon energy can he make even heavily subsidized “renewables” competitive.
In general every $1 billion spent complying with an EPA rule threatens 16,000 jobs and cuts GDP by $1.2 billion—and the agency is now writing scores of multibillion-dollar rules. Keep in mind that last month the Administration quietly raised the “social cost” of carbon by 60% in a regulatory filing related to microwave ovens. That means the EPA can jack up costs by 59.99% and still justify them by claiming the higher benefits.
This regressive burden won’t merely be borne by average American consumers and utility rate-payers—especially in the Midwest and Southern regions that use the most coal. This also threatens one of the few booming parts of the economy, the energy revolution driven by shale gas and unconventional oil. The return of manufacturing to the U.S. depends on this cheap abundant energy, and it could as easily re-relocate overseas as the U.S. becomes less competitive

Well, Senator Joe Manchin had his Deliverance moment when His Arrogance asked him, “Hey Joe, got coal?”. It has not been verified, but alluded to, that Joe was ordered to squeal when performing the Progressive sex act with His Arrogance. Should be good for laughs in Chicago when His Arrogance, Reggie, Bill Ayers, Axelrod, and the gang sit around smoking dope and reliving old memories.
0bama is the woooorrrld president.
(Leftists can’t say “world”, it is always the “woooorrrld”.)
Why worry about a job? Mailbox money comes all the time.
They vote too.
More ominously, it looks as though he won't be forced to pay any price for the more oppressive things he's been up to that have recently come to light. We'll see more of that, too. A lot more.
Obama to jobless Americans: Pound sand, suckers, I’ve got a planet country to save enslave
There, fixed it.
Obama has borrowed and spent on consumption over $6 trillion dollars. Almost none was spent on capital projects. Bernacke has printed trillions more which Obama has spent. In addition his EPA, Dept of Energy and other Federal agencies have passed so many restricive anti capitalist regulations that the the creation of new business, jobs and real wealth has been stalled. These two men have hollowed out the American economy. Obama’s punishment of America has nothing to do with global warming. However the average American will not realize just why their standard of living has declined. You get what you elected.
I don’t get all the dire wonderment of why Obama isn’t addressing the job situation. Why should he? He’s got us right where he wants us.
If people have jobs, they’ll donate to conservative causes, whereas those getting obama cash rewards him with donations, and, their loyal vote.
This was his plan for “fundamental change” from the beginning.
It’s time to stop asking “why” and start saying “you’d better!”.
Nearly 1/500th as scientific as astrology!
Destroying Western Civilization is the goal.
If Obama uses an executive order and the EPA to change emission standards as he has said he will do, can Congress defund the EPA to prevent them from implementing the new regulations?
Wait for the carbon impact of another 50 Million 3rd worlders changing from being in harmony with nature to driving 20 year old clunkers.
