White House Council of Economic Adviser Chair Alan Krueger has begun his monthly statements on the nation’s employment situation with nearly the exact same sentences almost every month since November 2011, just after he was installed as one of Obama’s most senior economic advisers.

With the exception of some variation in the May 2012 statement, Krueger has mailed it in every month, not bothering to change a thing in the opening lines of his commentary on the statistic that is perhaps more important to Americans.

Krueger’s statements are released by the White House the morning the latest employment numbers become available from the Department of Labor.

Here’s how he opened his February 1 statement on the January 2013 employment report: . . .

This is the laziest group of people ever put in charge of anything. It is clear that this Administration really doesn't care what happens with the economy as long as they have a printing press at their disposal.

Big deal, the Teleprompter in Chief does not even have his own statements.

It is part of the reason they are so hell bent to destroy America, idiots can't rule in a functional society. Communists like to kill off the educated to give themselves a chance.

Nor do they care what we think because they have bred over one half the population to be like the Deltas in 1984.

FUNNY!!!! I saw an interesting difference:

Jan 2013 statement: It is critical that we pursue the policies needed to build an economy that works for the middle class

Dec 2012 statement: It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class

Nov 2012 statement: It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class

Oct 2012 statement: It is critical that we continue the policies that are building an economy that works for the middle class

SOOOO, in Oct, Nov and Dec, we were ALREADY using policies that were building an economy that is working for the middle class. But in JAN? Well, in Jan, we will PURSUE policies? So which is it? We already have the policies in place or we will pursue them? According to the fact that Obama dissolved the Jobs Council, we are doing NEITHER!

Good catch.

if already spending is at 26% of GDP, and your own people say raising taxes is going to decrease GDP, where does that get your spending as GDP decrease? 36%? 46%?

Christina Romer Knows Tax Hikes Will Kill the Recovery

In a paper entitled: “The Macrcoeconomic Effects of Tax Changes” published by the prestigious American Economic Review in June 2010 (during her tenure at the White House), she stated: “In short, tax increases appear to have a very large, sustained, and highly significant negative impact on output.”

...The Romers’ baseline estimate suggests that a tax increase of 1% of GDP (about $160 billion in today’s economy) reduces real GDP by 3% over the next 10 quarters.
