Are Obama's policies responsible for the fact people today cannot find decent jobs?

Not according to Obama himself.He's all about the
Middle class.Ever since it was fashionable { the Tea Party Mantra }
to embrace middle america and their concerns about Jobs and
security and a future for their kids.Obama is like a political
Plagiarist.He lives to copy other Great Men and notions.
He seldom talked about Jobs after getting his Stimulus passed.
Right there was a dead giveaway.
He was more interested in getting credit for making a huge
Government grab.That's why he pleaded on " Urgency ".
Couldn't even follow his Campaign Golden Pledge of waiting
5 full days before signing-in a New bill.
Even given that most of the 3 1/2 days were a weekend when
Congress is out of town.
Obama's policies are not only responsible for a lackluster work
force but a reason for their continuance.How absurd for a President to
guarantee Unemployment Compensation extension time and again even after
Pelosi demanded a Pay as you go Congressional mandate.
The very reason My Senator { Jim Bunning } got sick and tired of
Obama style business as usual in Washington.Decided to retire.
Liars,cheats ... the whole lot of 'em.

 

Obama's policies are no different from Bush who started the Great Recession.

Obama can compel subsidize industries to use the handouts they have been given by the Federal government to create jobs.

Raising taxes are not necessary - just call in all overseas capital sheltered in tax free accounts

 

It turns out Obama and Bush are two sides of the same coin.

Their policies are almost identical!

No. The Community Reinvestment act, plus a failure to enforce anti-fraud regulations during the Bush era, are to blame.

 

You are mistaken, Black Monarch.

 

You are very correct, bacardi.

You get 5 stars for this one!

 

Note to cons: Obama wasn't President in 2001.

So you expect Obama to reverse a decade old trend while being blocked at every turn by a political party - the Republicans - that is HEAVILY invested in failure on multiple levels?

 

Tea partiers are the fools who didn't want the TARP bailouts without which would have brought economic catastrophe to this country and economic chaos to the world. They are profoundly ignorant of the complexities involving even the basic intertwined issues involved, including the job situation in this country and other developed countries:

Bush and the insufficient regulation of the financial industry under his watch is what precipitated the global financial collapse in '08, specifically credit default swaps tied to sub-prime mortgages which got involved with overly complex deals that got out of hand and eventually collapsed. And they were warned but ignored it (research Brooksley Born). Then the nearly two trillion dollar deficit Bush racked up to hand to Obama.

Globalization and technical innovation are the other primary factors why the unemployment in this country will be very difficult to significantly reduce.(*) Over the last 20-30 yrs 100s of millions in poor countries like China, India, SE Asian countries and Brazil have moved from poverty to some tier of the middle class and tech innovations by companies like oDesk have deals with 100s of thousands of freelance contractors worldwide who do white-color jobs for any business over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of what people get in rich countries.(*) Think about that for awhile, not much any US President or Congress can do to permanently reduce the unemployment rate over the long run, things have changed unless someone can think of an opposing strategy to globalization and technical innovation. Whatever it is it will require a highly educated workforce not the uneducated masses of the past who could get a low level manufacturing job and still live a middle income life, those days are gone or going fast. There has been a major shift in the global labor market.

The ignorance of the GOP candidates are a reflection of the low level of education in this country. The US is no. 26 among countries of the world when it comes to reading, math and science among high school students, behind Poland and Estonia. Perry and Bachmann are classic examples of this pervasive ignorance.(*)

Bottomline: Bush, globalization and technical innovations are the causes of the mess this country is in.(*) In Europe it was over the top entitlements, esp. in Greece, mis-handling of the economy in a multitude of ways in the other at risk countries esp. Italy and Spain. In part, some got taken up with the complex financial deals put together by US financial firms involving the sub-prime mortgages which collapsed like a house of cards.

 

I believe you are on to something here, GeddonM3.

Thanks for sharing!

By the way, these comments were very good!

 

The Bush presidencies are responsible for today's job problems and was inherited by Obama, of whom, is doing a good job in at least trying to fix.

 

it actually all goes back to greenspan from the 1990's

 

I'm sure a few were lost to him but every president looses a few, the next will do so as well.

 

Yea we all know the economy was so great in the months leading up to his Presidency. I still believe that rampant deregulation is what crippled the US economy, and while it's not totally Bush's fault, he opened up the floodgates for crony capitalism during his tenure.

 

The economy was not good when Obama took office.

But three years of throwing lavish parties in the White House, date nights to New York, endless golfing, and family vacations around the world have failed to make the economy better.

For the past 3 years he's been living it up while the rest of the country suffers.

 

You are indeed correct, Mac-7.

Obama truly believes he does not have to live by the rules the rest of us have to live by!



"What a great life! It is wonderful to have a high-paying job where I only have to work three hours a day!"

 

Owebama is NOT directly responsible.

However, the people who helped propel him into office are, not the least of which is the NEA and their degradation of the American educational system.

The concept of tenure is one of many things that have eroded the quality of education so badly that too few graduates are ready for the technological society we have created.

If I am not mustaken, Ted Kennedy's "No Child Left Behind" plan was supposed to help fix that. Leaving aside the debate whether it was a good plan, as it is moot, it was never funded. Owebama, as a Senator had the opportunity to change that....correct me if I am wrong but that would be one of the times he voted "present".

His true fault, though, is the fact he has done not one thing to change the situation. A billion dollars would have gone a lone way toward retraining and upgrading instead of creating "shovel ready jobs" and building bridges to no where.

He may not be at fault, but he sure is responsible.

 

No, 30 years of deregulation and 20 years of outsourcing jobs while adding tens of millions of people are.

 

Unemployment is over 12% where I live and 11.3% overall in California.

 

Yea, Obama is a "gift" to us that keeps on giving!

 

These are excellent observations, algranny.

Thanks for sharing!

 

You are half right.

Outsourcing jobs due to free trade has hurt the middle class.

But it is lib over regulation and government bureaucracy that has also contributed to the outsourcing of jobs.

 

Not only Obama, but the Democrat morons in control of Sacramento.

 

I'm afraid if you want to blame anyone for starting deregulation, you have to go way back to Jimmy Carter.

 

you are correct, Marine1.

Jimmy Carter also initiated the policies that were responsible in 2008 for the sub-prime mortgage crisis.



"I'm Jimma Carter, advisor to the presidents. Barack Obama is following my lead when it comes to his economic stimulus policy. I'm sure he will be successful. All of you know what a great job I did and how well things actually turned out"!

 

The boomers can't afford to retire and make way for the kids. That's partially the reason that their aren't enough jobs out there.

The rest has to do with the Bush policies that brought this nation to it's economic knees.
