Most of Main Street has not benefited by the Obama economy. Many who have lost their jobs since 2008 may be employed now but not with the same salary as before, making less, and also not as full time employees but taking part time jobs to make ends meet. And those people who now have health insurance have it on the backs of others. How is that right? Subsidies go up to 400% of the poverty level. <br />Seniors who have saved for their retirement and expected to live on interest from their savings now receive 2% and oh by the way this low interest rate also affects those who are working now and trying to save. It is much easier to build up a nest egg on 5% interest rather than 2%. And to think the Federal Reserve is going to allow interest rates to rise next year? Ha! We can't afford the government programs we have now; how can they become more affordable in the future as we keep borrowing? Don't you see, we are spending more than we have, people are receiving more and being told they deserve it and we are learning NOT to be personally responsible for anything. I don't believe the Founding Fathers had this in mind when they wrote the Constitution.TLGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-16350259564283275952014-12-09T07:04:07.851-05:002014-12-09T07:04:07.851-05:00SS you may be mislead by the Left's talking po...SS you may be mislead by the Left's talking points. The economy is far from stellar. Main Street is not Wall Street. Median incomes have decreased in this economic "recovery". This is unprecedented. Our total debt of $18 trillion has us vulnerable to a $ collapse. Our labor participation rate of 62.8% is close to a 40 year low. <br /><br />Conclusion: economics based largely on socialism, income redistribution, and increasing dependency on government result in sub standard economic growth. free market capitalism has proven to be the world's most successful growth engine. Time to rely on it more in the US again.<br /><br />For more perspective please reference these excellent analyses from IBD:<br /><br />http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/120514-729414-321000-job-growth-is-not-a-big-deal-historically.htm<br /><br />http://news.investors.com/economy/120514-729356-job-growth-strongest-in-years-wages-jump.htm?ref=HPLNews<br />Economics501https://www.blogger.com/profile/12001939903780698510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-57575577407704222882014-12-08T22:14:21.247-05:002014-12-08T22:14:21.247-05:00An agenda based on libertarian principles is the a...An agenda based on libertarian principles is the answer to reverse the significant damage BO has inflicted over past 6 years, namely substantially increasing the dependency on government class. We must make it clear that this dependency limits our individual freedoms and also our potential to better ourselves. This should start with exposing lies that trap us into a further dependency on government. I was also appalled by Krauthammer not calling a lie a lie regarding immigration which will increases this dependency class with new immigrants and citizens losing jobs to them as a result. Our agenda must also educate all about the libertarian principles inherent in our constitution which is being trashed by the Leftists and Marxists in power. It is utterly amazing that there is no major outcry against BO numerous unconstitutional actions from immigration policy, cap n trade implementing environment policy Congress rejected and altering ObamaCare without Congressional approval. There are many others.<br /><br />We need leaders who are great communicators that can champion free markets and limited government and to be courageous to call out the Left on clear lies. Krauthammer fails. Hannity and Mark Levin can only go so far in their role in the media. We need true libertarian conservative politicians to step it up now. If not now then when? The next 2 years may be our last chance. <br />Economics501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-85611864972049464612014-12-08T18:49:37.653-05:002014-12-08T18:49:37.653-05:00Hi Doug - Hope you Christmas shopping is done!
Yo...Hi Doug - Hope you Christmas shopping is done!<br /><br />Your publication covers a lot of ground. I have no response to the plethora of issues you raise other than the unemployment rate is under 6%, the Dow, Nasdaq, & S&P are at record levels, & more people than ever have health coverage.
