Obama says GOP making life harder for the joblessObama was not promising jobs, he was promising entitlements paid for by the last few remaining taxpayers out there. What he needs to do is to shrink the government, cut spending and lower taxes. This is what will stimulate the economy and get us growing again as a nation. This idea of redistribution of wealth is based on Marx's big fuckup -- wealth is not a static quantity, it can be created and destroyed. Those that do not have it can get it if they are governed by an honest government, have the opportunity to get useful training (no xyzzy-studies programs in college) and there is a favorable climate for business startup and growth. Capitalism works, socialism simply does not. The idea that Republicans would be standing in the way of job growth is abject bullshit -- conservatives are the only people favoring government actions that will allow for a true regrowth of the economy. All of the Progressive policies are simply re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Posted by DaveH at June 19, 2010 7:49 PM | TrackBack
President Barack Obama on Saturday pinned blame on Republicans for making life harder for the unemployed and for those who could lose their jobs without new federal intervention. He did so even as he sought to distance himself from the "dreary and familiar politics" of Washington.
Capping a week in which the administration scored a victory - a $20 billion fund to be paid by BP for the victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill - Obama reserved his radio and Internet address to focus on the work that didn't get done.
His main concern was the rejection of a bill in the Senate that would have provided more money for the long-term unemployed, aid for strapped state governments and the renewal of popular tax breaks for businesses and individuals.
Seems our eloquent Prez on has two modes of communication--eloquent lies or eloquent excuses.
