We've got to do it, unfortunately, at a time when money is tight. George Bush left us (a) $1 trillion deficit," he said, referring to the former Republican president.

Even if he could, which he has proven demonstrably that he cannot, he has overseen the loss of 12 million jobs since he took office.

To fix unemployment, he needs to stop all the hatin’ when it comes to business, small business, the middle class, using gas. Just stop all the hatin’ bro. Cut taxes. Cut regs. Let the people be free, bro. Stop all the hatin’.

See, every other thing he's tried has failed to add jobs, and in fact, lost them.

So, in a flash of pure sanity, he's going to do the exact same things.

But THIS time, it will WORK.

Okay now I am really ticked off at the media and Obama.

Brand new headline on drudge about MORE SECRET DETAILS RELEASED about the idiot’s PLAN to save everyone.

IT IS THE SAME THING HE ALREADY DID AND FAILED AT.
A NEW? program to give FHA home buyers mortgage relief.
How flipping stupid do they think we are?

I don't think it could be pointed out enough. The United States government is presently spending 25% of the GDP, 12% of the GDP in borrowed money, vs a GDP ‘growth’ of 3%. That means that the federal government is floating 9% of the GDP.

Can the feds spend more and create jobs? Sure. Problem is, that's borrowed money. The cost of those jobs is either lowering the value of the dollar by printing more, or lowering the value of the dollar by borrowing more. Every single one of those jobs will lower the value of every one else’s job.

And of course, all of these will be ‘good paying jobs’ with likely benefits packages that nearly equal that good salary in the first place.

Cut federal spending so the dollar value stops falling, cut taxes so that there's more money in the system to go towards making new jobs, and ax the minimum wage and ObamaCare so it is between the employer and the employee how the job is compensated, and you'll add those million jobs in a short time.

And while you're at it, chop through the earned income tax credit and other tax credits that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. It's a disincentive to get a decent job; you can earn more in benefits by just making the minimum and then sit back on your food stamps and unemployment and earned income tax credit and float through the year.

“Obama: could add 1 million new U.S. jobs”

Or.... Michelle could go on another vacation in September.
Or....another illegal alien Obama relative could surface in the U.S.
Or....Joe Biden could visit Pakistan where he praises the tradition of honor killings.
Or....Obama could set a new record for teleprompters used in a single speech.

Which do you think is more likely?
