They need to cut Barry some slack. It’s tough trying to raise a billion dollars in only 4 years to get reelected. Fundraisers can take up a lot of a person’s time. I mean, there’s also all those golf trips and vacations and late night TV shows... How can anyone expect him to find time to worry about the economy and jobs?
Actually, that change happened in January, 2007. Back when unemployment was 4.4%.
The Tea Party shares the same sentiments regarding the GOP establishment.
lol. These people are insane.
Okay, you confiscate all private wealth and... then what? What will you do for the next year when America is as poor as Ethiopia?
Welcome to North Korea everyone. lol.

Because the one thing I NEVER hear mentioned in all these ‘austerity plans’ is actually cutting off those who had no reason to expect a retirement or benefits plan. Let's start with elected politicians. Tomorrow, axe every inch of their benefits and retirement plans. If they paid any money into these plans, a cash disbursement for the sum total they contributed.
The next day, ax every inch of benefits and retirements for appointed officials. Ax benefits the day after for semi-appointed officials - water boards, committee members, etc.
Sure, these are pennies in the overall scheme of things - well, hundredths of pennies. But you'd be hard pressed to find a politician who will say that he sought the job as mayor or councilman or state senator for the retirement benefits.
Then go after reigning back the benefits for public employees, and THEN talk about cutting back social security and other forms of welfare.
Amazingly easy for these drones who are embezzling the public dollar to write laws to hurt others, wonder how much they'll like writing the laws to get their own hand out of the cookie jar.
Do not despair, my little DUmmie! Help is on the way! In fact, it will be here this Tuesday, May 1! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! GENERAL STRIKE! THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED!
The world stands on tiptoes.

DUmmies are now listening to Rush...and learning.
Michael Moore was in Madison, Wisconsin agitating for a wealth tax recently. I get the feeling this is starting to be a fairly common idea on the left.
This downturn which has now turned into a near depression started in January 2007, just after the demon rats took congress over. Obozo has turned what was already going south due to demonrat policies into a raging wildfire of terrible economic results.
we will be in this mode for many many years. Japan has been here for 20+ and nothing has really improved for them.Well I wouldn't go that far. Japan still makes excellent cameras like Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc and led the world in and to Digital Photography. And Japan makes top notch Guitars, which they have since the 1980's -- one Major Brand and model in particular is better and more sought after the American made model of the 80's. (I have the MIJ one so I know.)
At the same time Kodak went bust -- thanks to unions -- and Barry has a vendetta against Gibson Guitar Co because the owner donates to republicans. And other US Guitar Companies had to open shops in Mexico, China and Indonesia -- again due to Unions. And those 'foreign ones' ain't exactly shabby, I know that too. I just bought a certain Made In China Axe that is at least as good as the American made one, maybe better, and at 20% of the cost of an equal USA model. And 50% of cost of the generic USA model.
So buck up DUmmie and don't forget to get your Food Stamps and Welfare Check. That's your hero's idea of a 'recovery' and a booming economy. Oh. And don't forget to pay your union dues if you do have a stinking $12.00 an hour SEIU covered job.
This is the fourth year of a recession. The sky is not falling.
Somewhere a Village is missing its idiot.
there needs to be a confiscatory tax on WEALTH in this country, not just income. It never has been a matter of the amount of wealth in the USA. It's ALWAYS been about the distribution of that wealth.I have 'A Wealth' of ammunition. PLEASE come and try to confiscate it.
