Newsweek has former President Bill Clinton on its cover with Fourteen Ways how to Save Jobs. I didn’t read it yet, but are they referring to the following fourteen ways?
1) Declare your candidacy for the White House only after the economy is out of recession.
2) Win your election at a time when the economy is gaining monthly approximately 100,000 jobs and when the Unemployment Rate is already decreasing.
3) Walk into the Oval Office when the economy is gaining 200,000 jobs monthly and increasing before you put one of your finger prints on the economy.
4) Raise tax slightly when the economy is strong enough to absorb it, yet keep the rates close to where Ronald Reagan left them and then claim that raising tax does not hurt job growth.
5) Make sure that the pro-business Republicans control both houses on Capitol Hill (for the first time in forty years).
6) Attack Republicans for forcing you to keep spending down and then take credit for it when it balances the budget and then helps with job growth too.
7) Sign – against your will – a series of tax credits early on in your second term, which in turn will continue pushing the economy and create more jobs.
8) Make sure to have a bubble – such as em, er… a Tech Bubble – to prop up the Equities Markets; in turn it installs confidence in the economy and in turn we get more economic and job growth too.
9) Make sure that Corporate America cooks its books to make business look better, which in turn helps with confidence and economic growth and then again with jobs.
10) Make sure to give only lip-service to the rising threat of Terrorism and North Korea because otherwise you will rattle oil markets which in turn may kill confidence and growth.
11) When you have a Regime Change policy against Iraq, don’t invade them: The cost of war will dent your Surplus and in turn it may reduce economic activity.
12) Make sure to leave the White House within a year of a disastrous market crash and when the economy is 2/3 in recession. By the time the mess will be felt, you will be enjoying your cigar(s) again…
13) When the business corruption explodes shortly after a terror attack that happens seven months after you left office, use it to prove how good things were when you were in the White House.
14) When the economy losses close to two million jobs within a year after you leave office, blame it on your successor. When the economy losses millions of jobs within the first year of your party’s next President, then place the blame backwards – to the predecessor of your party’s president.
And of course, signing a free trade with China just months before you leave office is great: It paints you as a great diplomat while manufacturing in the USA start bleeding jobs on your successor’s watch.
Yeah. Clinton Economics 101
Yeah. They are all still busy with Its the Economy Stupid.
Does he mean blowjobs?
