Obama´s Economy:
What We´ve Learned
Since Re-election

Investor´s Business Daily, by IBD Staff

Original Article

Posted By:RustMB, 11/17/2012 6:59:57 AM

Obama II: In the "now they tell us" file, add a vast array of reports that have come out since the election showing just how weak the economy really is. Looks like the president will need a new scapegoat soon. Here´s just a sampling of what we´ve learned since voters decided to give Obama four more years to "experiment" with the economy. Earnings falling: The Labor Dept. reported on Thursday that real average hourly earnings dropped again in October for the third month in a row...

In the week before the election, both Bloomberg Business News and CNN had articles on, "Will Romney Inherit the Obama Recovery?" Theme of both stories was that after a slow start, Obama as the economy percolating, and Romney, of elected, will take credit for this.

Last para n this depressing article: Obama got re-elected largely by blaming Bush for everything bad that happened during his first term. So who´s he going to blame now?

Easy answer: Bush.

Where we are in he era of Obama:

For good reason the minority believe that the POTUS is actively out to destroy this country. He is either excellent at accomplishing this or he´s completely incompetent at running the country. Either way the result is the same.

The majority of voters don´t care about this as long as they can feel cool, and/or their benefits don´t run out and when the money does dry up they´ll blame someone other than the real culprits.

Yup, we´ve over the hill. I´m glad out ancestors aren´t here to see this.

We have always known that O. was out to destroy the country. It is still puzzling that the cowardly press is "all in" for the destruction. They do not care how much the people suffer, how high the Misery Index is, all they care about is the image of the rock star faux potus.

Our country has been destroyed by the unholy alliance of the regime and the press.

Does any intelligent person really think that those who vote for Obama either understand or care about the nation´s economy? A large number of them buy vehicles with the understanding that they will probably end up being repossessed. You can´t reason with those kind of people.

The Obama voter is the one who typically thinks that a successful person is one who is just lucky or has "had all the breaks." The Obama voter is the one who probably cut class to smoke weed while the nerdy guy studied, and of course, he made the nerdy guy´s life hell. The quiet, hard-working people who have their priorities straight are in the minority now. But the Obama voter would take everything away from them in the interests of "fairness."

Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.

Will the fooled electorate awaken to see what the dims´ policies result in? What the dims´ true core expertise is?

Or shall we be shackled to a dependent majority that thinks that all of life´s bumps can and should be removed and thus are the victims of politicians who promise to remove them for a "small price." Is there at least hope the the dependent class will at least see that the bumps were not removed?

The Democrats blamed Herbert Hoover for the depression for 20 years that I know of. It always worked. I remember when my step father was urged to vote Republican. He had great trepidation. He screwed up his courage and bravely announced: "Well, I guess I can starve for four years."

Unfortunately, the un-intelligent 50% of the electorate, who are being hurt the most by this, will not connect the cause to Obama. The dems know this, too, so it will continue unabated.

Almost as many people signed up with the federal government´s permanent worker disability program as got jobs in March, according to two sets of government data, continuing a troubling trend throughout the Obama recovery. Last month, 81,804 workers left the workforce to join the Social Security Disability Insurance program. So far this year, nearly a quarter million workers have joined the program. Over the past four years, 4 million left the workforce to go on disability.

Uninsured: The White House recently released details about how it plans to market ObamaCare to the uninsured. What it reveals is that most of them don´t want what the administration is trying to force them to buy. In a series of slides posted on the Health and Human Services´ website, the administration explains how it plans to market ObamaCare to the uninsured. Let´s leave aside for a minute the oddity of this effort.

Americans are migrating from less-free liberal states to more-free conservative states, where they are doing better economically, according to a new study published Thursday by the George Washington University´s Mercatus Center. The "Freedom in the 50 States" study measured economic and personal freedom using a wide range of criteria, including tax rates, government spending and debt, regulatory burdens, and state laws covering land use, union organizing, gun control, education choice and more.

Just over three years ago, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously quipped about ObamaCare that "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it." But only now, as ObamaCare´s third anniversary approaches — President Obama signed it into law on March 23, 2010 — is the country starting to find out what the sweeping health care overhaul will actually do. ObamaCare backers typically tout popular features that went into effect almost immediately. The law expanded Medicare´s drug coverage, for example, and let children stay on their parents´ plans until they turned 26. But the bulk

Food Stamp Nation: A little town in Rhode Island shows where liberalism and all its talk of economic "security" ultimately leads — a stale economy and suffocating dependence on big government. In a surprisingly candid and lengthy expose, the Washington Post described how Woonsocket, an economically depressed town in Rhode Island, has been turned upside down by food stamps. With a third of the town enrolled, food stamps have created a huge boom-and-bust economy in Woonsocket

Democrats Use Budget Gimmicks

In their first budget in four years, Senate Democrats claim to have crafted a plan that cuts federal spending a total of $975 billion over the next decade. "This budget cuts spending responsibly," said Senate Budget Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., this week. "There are no sacred cows; we put everything we can on the table." But an IBD review of the budget data shows that the Senate vastly overstates the size of its spending cuts. In fact, it could be that the Senate would, if enacted, increase federal spending by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Budget: When President Obama put out his "balanced" plan to avoid the automatic sequester cuts, no one noticed. Which is probably just as well for Obama, given how embarrassingly unbalanced it is. [snip] Last week, New York Times columnist David Brooks wrote about how Obama "hasn´t actually come up with a proposal to avert sequestration, let alone one that is politically plausible." Turns out, Obama did have one, although Brooks can be excused for not knowing it, since the administration hasn´t exactly been promoting this so-called plan.

On Tuesday, Sen. Jeff Sessions touted a government report that blew a $6.2 trillion hole in President Obama´s promise that his signature health reform wouldn´t add a dime to the deficit. According to the report by the Government Accountability Office, that promise rested entirely on several cost-control mechanisms in ObamaCare that almost no one thinks will work. [snip] Still, bad as this $6.2 trillion deficit boost is, the real figure is likely to be much higher, since the GAO is still being far too optimistic about the rest of ObamaCare.

For years, ObamaCare critics focused on its least popular feature — the mandate that everyone buy insurance — taking their fight all the way to the Supreme Court. But as ObamaCare´s official launch date approaches, even its backers are beginning to admit that the law could actually create powerful incentives for millions of people and thousands of businesses to drop their coverage, despite the mandate. There is growing concern, for example, that the law´s market reforms will cause a huge "rate shock," particularly for those young and healthy.

Sequester: In his State of the Union speech, President Obama is sure to issue dire warnings about the automatic spending cuts resulting from the "sequester." But look closer, and the cuts are far less than meet the eye. As the March deadline for the sequester draws closer, Obama´s rhetoric about the cuts it will impose grows more overheated. In his radio address over the weekend, he said they would be "a huge blow to middle-class families and our economy as a whole."

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
