But you won’t get 47% of the country to acknowledge that.
Still “Bush’s fault”, even though he’s been out of office 5 years, and didn’t have congress for the last 2 years of his admin.
So, 7 years later, it’s still not the rats’ fault.
How’s that “fundamental transformation” workin’ out for ya?
But, but, but, I thought the economy was in recovery?
Hey, look at the stock market. Just see how much the unemployment numbers have been driven down. The price of gasoline is some kind of historic level. We are producing a larger percentage of our own energy domestically than we have in years.
Mexico is looking kind of good, at the moment.
This is what happens when you create and empower a huge anti-capitalist bureaucracy. The endless rules, regulations and dictates of Obama’s minions have stifled entrepreneurship, the creation of new business and the creation of wealth. The country is poorer.
But yet the Government and msm maintain that the economy is growing.
Mastery of English: 3
Mastery of Democrat talking points: 10
(That's a "Chorus Line" reference: "Looks: 3, Dance: 10")
What a load of bs:
>>Excluding food and energy costs, prices climbed 1.3
4$ gas suffocates growth
also didn’t mention moving workers from full to part time
which will be devastating for any growth prospects
...and bread is over $3/loaf and gasoline is near $4/gal. Shame on this evil, greedy government for oppressing its citizens.
The economy is clearly in trouble. We have no real recovery. People are barely surviving and are now cutting into savings when their incomes drop. Yet, as others pointed out, a lot of Americans don’t seem to blame Obama and didn’t think that this horrible recovery was reason enough to kick him out. To the contrary, a lot of people’s answer to this is that we should hand out even more government checks and move further down the path of Welfare State Socialism that is killing us.
That is some recovery we got going on.
From CNBC just now:
“Stocks opened lower on the first day of March, with the Dow sliding below the widely-watched 14,000 level, weighed by a weaker-than-expected personal income report and disappointing economic data from Europe and China.
In addition, investors will be watching the last-minute budget talks in Washington as the $85 billion sequester, automatic budget cuts, go into effect Friday.”
OK now it is starting.
The revenue did not increase, because it is headed to China.
That is right. We offshored our manufacturing.
We buy stuff from China. China makes the money.
They grow. We shrink. See how easy that is.
(not joking here, not even one tiny bit)
For once in his deplorable life, ZerO should resign for the sake of the country.
So if we drive less, eat less food and keep our thermostats a 65 we'll all feel richer! Reminds me of Jimmah telling everyone to wear a sweater and put a brick in their toilet tank.
impeach this piece of crap Obama
This is with technology increasing exponentially in the PRIVATE sector. Even with this incomes are declining while food and gasoline prices rise.
2013-1959=54 (years) Way to go, Obama! [Do I really need a sarcasm tag?]
Excluding food and energy costs, prices climbed 1.3 percent in January from the same month in 2012, the smallest year-to- year gain since April 2011.
How convenient! Unfortunately, those of us living in reality can't just exclude food and energy costs from our budget. I wonder what the percentage increase would be if they included food and energy costs.
The Labor Department uses the ‘Consumer Price Index’ to measure inflation which excludes food and energy. But somehow falling energy prices are a factor for curbing inflation.
Am I missing something?
I'm also sure the Administration has been issuing Woodward-style threats to agencies who know the truth - keep your language vague and mild, or else.
Obama voters will be the hardest hit from Obama theft from Medicare.
” The most salient fact is that, to pass Obamacare, the president cut Medicare by more than $700 billion over the coming decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). And these cuts are of the worst kind. They are arbitrary and across the board. They reduce reimbursement rates for all who provide services to Medicare patients, regardless of how well or badly they treat their patients. Among the cuts is a $156 billion reduction in payments to Medicare Advantage plans over ten years. These cuts will force seniors to pay $3,700 more for their health care by 2017, “
Insurers: Cuts to Medicare Advantage will hit poor, minorities
By Sam Baker - 02/21/13 12:28 PM ET
Cuts to Medicare Advantage will disproportionately hurt poor seniors and minorities, the health insurance industry said Thursday.
America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) has pushed back hard against a proposed cut to private Medicare Advantage plans. The Obama administration proposed the 2 percent cut late last week.
AHIP argued Thursday that Medicare Advantage isn’t only popular with seniors, but especially with low-income and minority seniors.
“Medicare Advantage is a lifeline for millions of low-income and minority Medicare beneficiaries who rely on the high-quality coverage and innovative programs and services these plans provide,” AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni said in a statement.
Private Medicare Advantage plans are more popular among black and Hispanic seniors than they are overall among seniors, according to AHIP’s report.
AHIP also said 41 percent of Medicare Advantage recipients have an annual income of less than $20,000, compared with 37 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries.
