Obama cannot sell his jobs bill. Are his economic ideas desperate and unsound?

"The president's jobs bill misfires because it starts from several unsound economic premises. The most evident feature of the AJA is that it is a combination of ill-conceived, disparate measures. The wandering quality of the bill makes it impossible to cover all of its silliness, but it is possible to focus on some of the core job provisions, all of which kill the very jobs that the AJA is supposed to create.

No president can conjure up jobs through a mishmash of taxes, subsidies, and regulations. President Obama’s last and only chance is to reverse course and to help to reinvigorate the economy with low taxes and free labor markets. Unfortunately, the president is incapable of understanding this point. Let us hope that the Congress and the American people get the message now, for otherwise the unemployment picture will be worse in a year—just in time to vote Barack Obama out of office."

 

He never intended it to go through, even many Dems think it's a Loser, and they wont get on board to his phony plan...The man is a schmuck, his entire campaign will be crying and complaining, nothing new for this wimp.......
Wasn't it just him that told the blacks to toughen up? LOL

 

The last one failed to get unemployment under 9+% for more than 2 months after spending $840 billion dollars.

 

Billy Mays has created more Jobs than Obama.

 

Fresh memories of last November's bloodbath has vulnerable congressional leftists scrambling for a way to get Obama's Reelection Bill passed without having to record a vote.

 

That is funny, but so true...too bad he's dead..he could prolly create more jobs dead than Ubama alive.

 

And the Republicans have long run away from thier jobs bill (The Ryan Plan)

 

Great thread!

 

Some of his ads still run. He is still creating more jobs from the grave than Obama.

 

Yeah, you mean the plan that was never discussed in the senate? Ah, guess maybe discussing or voting on it would mean the GOP in the senate would be able to speak instead of Harry DICTATING what the senate will do.

 

Even the Dems are running from Obama's disaster of a presidency. The Dems wanted a historic presidency. Well, they got one- a historic failure.

 

You must be missing the part that the dems are also staying clear of this "jobs bill".

 

We'll see in the coming days...lets try to stay away from premature ejaculation...ok?

 

you are very correct, DonGlock2.

Obama is the mose inexperienced prersident we have every had.

Even jis jobs bill is a joke and the Democrats arer very aware of its shortcomings.

 

Obama is so full of crap I bet his toilet has created more jobs...~~

 

It is kind of funny when you think of it, first they ran from health Care..couldn't get one to even mention it unless it was to knock it. Now his job plan, giving it any credibility would be admitting they do not understand it's just a campaign ploy, nobody wants to look that stupid....They need a spokesperson for him and his plan..., somebody dumber than wood....

mmmm,,,,,

 

You are correct, DonGlock.

Barack Obama has set the liberals cause, race-baited politics and big government solutions to our economic problems back 100 years!

 

This part was very good,

"What is so striking about Obama’s shopworn rhetoric is its juvenile intellectual quality. His explanation for how the AJA will create jobs is a non-starter because he does not explain how we get from here to there. As in so many other cases, the president thinks that waving a wand over a problem will make his most ardent wishes come true, even when similar earlier efforts have proved to be dismal failures. This dreadful hodgepodge of a bill will likely be dead-on-arrival in Congress, but it remains a patriotic duty to explicate some of its worst provisions.

The most evident feature of the AJA is that it is a combination of ill-conceived, disparate measures. The wandering quality of the bill makes it impossible to cover all of its silliness, but it is possible to focus on some of the core job provisions, all of which kill the very jobs that the AJA is supposed to create.

One does not have to dip very far into the bill to find trouble. Section 4 of the AJA imposes "Buy American" restrictions on the use of funds appropriated under this statute for work on public buildings. "All the iron, steel and manufactured goods" used on such projects are to be fabricated in the United States. There are obvious administrative difficulties in deciding what counts as a "manufactured good" for the purposes of the act. But don’t sweat the small stuff. The fatal problem with this form of jingoism is that, in the name of economic efficiency, it forces American taxpayers to pay more for less. That upside down logic may seem sensible to a die-hard Keynesian, but not to ordinary people who realize that deliberate overpayment for inferior goods makes no more sense in the public sector than in the private one."

 

Very good point, Wildjoker5.

 

He'll just find new ways to "go around Congress". More executive orders, more judicial mandates, etc. He knows that the majority of the people in this country are not on his side, so he won't use the Democratic system to push his agenda.

 

How far did get get in Reid's Senate?
