as people return to work the nation's productivity increases and tax revenues are generated - therefore its costs are recaptured

The catch-22 on this is the higher taxes discourage the private sector.... You'd get a lot more folks back to work if the fiscal environment was more friendly.

Impeach Obama!


Exactly how many times do you plan on impeaching the poor guy?

But that's the point - taxes are lower than in Reagan's time (they were even higher under Clinton when we had full employment)so this is not a problem.

actually, 18 million people agree: Obamacare has expanded social services - now they get the same coverage Fortune 500 employees have had all along

18 MM out of 300+ MM... Not exactly a resounding majority

Scale your analysis to the times.... The world was different when Reagan or Carter were in power... The private sector will take (is forced) the path of least resistance... Look at Walmart, they are doing well because they are delivering on what American's want, in large part, low prices.

Trudeau loved Canada. Obama hates his country. There are entire races and classes of people he wants to destroy.

Guess that goes to confirm the old expression that 'Love Hurts'

Trudeau put Canada back (economically) decades

I can speak for the rest of the country but here in Minnesota the unemployment rate is low and the mining/technical areas in nearby states are recruiting. Some people say those who are unemployed are the illegals who can no longer be hired unless they have the proper papers. Dunno for sure but that answer part of your question. The rest could be that the right wing keeps coming up with so many anti-Obama myths that much of those claims of millions on the dole could be just that - myths.

A biased ideological screed dating from 2011 isn't persuasive because it ignores events occurring subsequent to the date of publication.

Btw, the US Embassy in Baghdad is in the process of being evacuated...and the terrorist leader of the ISIS said he is coming to NYC.

As blogger Friedman says, Cheney is engaging in epic trolling:


Dick Cheney on Obama: 'Rarely Has a U.S. President Been So Wrong At Expense of So Many' | The BRAD BLOG






"Let's face it, Brad. The only reason this shameless sociopath can appear in person on Fox "News" --- as opposed to speaking from inside a prison cell --- is that the current President and Attorney General violated their solemn oaths to faithfully execute the law when both refused to investigate and prosecute both Bush and Cheney for war crimes.
Should anyone really be surprised that Cheney, or any other elite who had lied in order to launch the illegal war of aggression when Iraq was invaded in 2003, would repeat the same neocon nonsense now, biting the hands of those who kept them out of prison? "
