It's easy to blame whoever is president whenever anything goes wrong in this country.

You have to remember that Obama did not cause the worldwide economic disaster, this was done by greed, speculation, and lack of regulation on Wall Street. He did not cause the outsourcing of jobs to third world countries, either. Corporations have been doing it for many years now.

Obama's job is to try to fix all the things that have been broken by earlier administrations and by corporate overreach.

His stimulus plan is working, but it takes time for the full effect of it to be felt on the economy. Job growth is very slow, which is frustrating to most of us, but it is growing rather than shrinking, as it did throughout the Bush years.

You can't expect anyone short of Jesus to be able to make all of our very serious problems magically go away overnight.

Obama is a obstruction to job growth... You can't keep blaming George Bush.... This is Obama's mess, he owns it. Anybody with the most simplistic grasp of economics knows that this administration is doing everything back words, to promote job growth... It is as simple as that. They are destroying this economy If not on purpose, then by their foolishness..

My $42,000 a year (with over time $50k) was outsourced to India.

Yes by 2020 most of us here in America will be earning minimum wage, serving the elite few and living fairly close to Orwell's novel of 1984.

Welcome to the New World Order.



Aaron Russo goes in depth on the insider-knowledge given to him by a member of the Rockefeller family. Russo was told-- prior to 9/11-- of plans to stage terror attacks, invade foreign nations, and kickstart a high-tech police state control grid that would track the populations' every move with implantable RFID microchips.
This information-packed presentation is filled with never-before seen footage. Throughout the film, Alex Jones breaks down the latest activities of the New World Order and how it ties into what Russo predicted.
Aaron explains how the elite created the women's liberation movement to break up the family and tax working women. Russo breaks down the deception of democracy-- which is nothing more than mob rule guaranteed to produce tyranny.

Russo also exposes the IRS & Federal Reserve. He blasts the unconstitutional and predatory institutions that have crippled the American Republic and crushed the people with bogus taxes, inflation and loss of privacy. Russo explains that he himself was persecuted in the late 80s by a criminal 'retroactive' tax scheme that attempted to levy new taxes on years already passed.
As night falls on the Republic, Aaron Russo delivers a powerful call for the forces of liberty to rise and crush tyranny. Only then can the Republic be restored.

edit on 22-4-2011 by ofhumandescent because: Added Russo video...................I believe this was his last interview.

I disagree with your economic theories. "Trickle Down" or "Supply side" economics is a complete failure. We have had thirty years of a shrinking middle class, with only 2% increase in real wages the whole time, while the top 2% has seen their incomes increase by over 100%. We have had thirty years of a growing poverty rate. "Supply side" economics doesn't work period, except for 2% of the population.

"Bottom up" economics brought us out of the Great Depression of the 1930's. It fueled the economic prosperity of the whole country in the 1950's and 1960's. It created a booming and ever-increasing middle class, shrinking poverty rate, and a more-than-comfortable upper class during this period. We have used it before and can use it again with great success.

No that was World War 2. Not only did the WW2 get us out of the depression but it also wrecked most of the other planet leaving American industry the only place to go.

"Trickle down" and "bottom up" are worthless so long as there is no equal protection under the law. In fact what we have now is the worst of both ends. Wealthy elites (like GE) are paying near zero taxes while smaller corporations and businesses are racked with heavy taxes and are made uncompetitive with the global economy.
