As I write this piece, it’s no secret that America’s economic situation is dire and grim. President Obama’s tax increases (both under the radar and above), his thousands of new regulations imposed on businesses that cannot be sustained in a stable manner due to lack of employees -- due to lack of payroll --, due to fewer and fewer customers—due to their being out of a job themselves, or getting fewer hours has set in motion a domino effect that will continue to do so until he leaves office, be that a year from now, or 5 years from now.
People need jobs, but job providers need customers to be able to pay for those jobs. President Obama’s only solution seems to be to add to the debt by creating more “stimulus” proposals, and as he prepares to give his upcoming jobs speech, I am predicting that he will offer tax cuts and a few (very few) business friendly measures, but he will overpower it’s influence with more and more spending to the point that will once again lead to nowhere, but more debt, which will lead to higher inflation, which will lead to higher costs, and set in motion even further the realities I described in the first paragraph. Out of his speech, I am expecting to hear him say that we need more “infrastructure” projects. We will hear about our “crumbling roads and bridges,” and we will hear everything that will lead to putting us in more debt, and put us in a position that will make it ultimately impossible to pay for.
California liberal Democrat Maxine Waters stated on Meet the Press, aired Sunday September 4th, 2011, “The president must be bold. I agree that he must have a jobs program, he must create jobs. I’m talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more. We’ve got to put Americans to work. That’s the only way to revitalize this economy. When people work, they earn money, they spend that money, and that’s what gets the economy up and going.” Uh-huh. Once again, stimulus.
Obama’s ingredients for job creation will be the same old, same old, entrenched with more deceit. That said, Obama is trying to put pressure on the Republicans to sign on to more of what he wants. Remember, when the Democrats signed the trillion dollar stimulus bill in 2009, not one Republican voted for it. Once again he wants Republicans to vote for this one so he can call this predestined, sinking ship “bipartisan.” That said, on Labor Day, Obama said to his AFL-CIO constituents, "We're going to see if we've got some straight shooters in Congress. We're going to see if congressional Republicans will put country before party." Obama is obviously trying to put Republicans on the spot as the line is purposely meant to suggest that Republicans are just trying to be “anti-Obama obstructionists” as opposed to being concerned individuals who know economics and are armed with knowledge that will work. He is obviously trying to feed the established prejudice the culture and every major form of massive influence has built against the Republicans. Since the culture who loves him suggests that the Republicans are soulless, he is trying to utilize that to pressure them to sign on to his proposal. But on grounds of substance and true to life results, If this sort of stuff didn’t work before, even though it’s been done numerous times, why should we expect it to work this time?
