Canadian's Letter to America

You Americans Have No Idea Just How Good You Have It With Obama

Many of us Canadians are confused by the U.S. midterm elections. Consider, right now in America, corporate profits are at record highs, the country's adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, U.S. gross national product growth is the best of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The dollar is at its strongest levels in years, the stock market is near record highs, gasoline prices are falling, there's no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing, the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money.

America is leading the world once again and respected internationally — in sharp contrast to the Bush years. Obama brought soldiers home from Iraq and killed Osama bin Laden.

So, Americans vote for the party that got you into the mess that Obama just dug you out of? This defies reason.

When you are done with Obama, could you send him our way?

There are a lot of dumb rubes in America wetting themselves over ISIS and ebola. 2 topics which will be conveniently faded out now that the elections over. That's why the GOP won.

Thank God there's a Democrat in the White House to stop them from doing too much damage.

So ebola and ISIS were covert plots promoted by the press, to get Rs elected...and only a lawless D POTUS can save us.

Wow....now that is some kind of delusional thinking.

Remember 2 weeks ago when Obama was trying to infect us all with ebola and ISIS was on America's doorstep?

Funny how those stories have faded away huh?

Wow!

So Obama was actually helping Rs win elections nationwide, by talking up ISIS and ebola.

Damn...who knew?

Let's get back on point.

Okay, if Canadia wants Barry they can have him right now. Hell, we'll even let you keep his plane but you have to repaint it, maybe put one of those big red oak leaves on it, eh?

Canada uses the MAPLE leaf...not oak.

 

[blastoff]

It's Canadia...no one outside of it cares what leaf they worship.

Gee, a Canadian liberal that didn't understand what happened November 4th? Where is my tiny fiddle?

Being Canadians, subjects of the Crown, this is not a surprise.

To the OP, yes. The data shows that companies’ profits reached an after-tax, 85-year record level of $1.683 trillion in 2012. That’s 10 percent of the economy, even after companies paid $418.9 billion in taxes. Great right? Not necessarily.

Corproate profits may be up, but people care about their own incomes when they vote. And under Obama, employees’ share of the nation’s annual income has been reduced to the lowest level in 63 years. For most American households there has been no economic recovery. For the first time in American history during a supposed economic expansion, real after tax income has fallen by -5.9%.

There's the number that matters. The Obama Administration's policies have expanded wealth for rich corporations, while wealth for everyone else has declined at a rate unprecedented in modern times. It is no surprise the party in power was voted out.

I take it you are suggesting the new Republican legislative branch of government legislate that more/all businesses have to unionize and/or create a collective bargaining unit within their spheres.
"Because of deals struck through collective bargaining, union workers have traditionally earned 15% to 20% more than their non-union counterparts, Rodgers said.
But union membership has declined rapidly over the past 30 years. In 1983, union workers made up about 20% of the workforce. In 2010, they represented less than 12%.
"The erosion of collective bargaining is a key factor to explain why low-wage workers and middle income workers have seen their wages not stay up with inflation," Rodgers said."

And-----and are suggesting the new Republican legislative branch of government legislate public education K thru grad school?
"...the disparity between the wages for college educated workers versus high school grads has widened significantly since the 1980s
In 1980, workers with a high school diploma earned about 71% of what college-educated workers made. In 2010, that number fell to 55%."
