President Obama's Record: Bigger Government, Less Economic Freedom & a Bad Economy

[Hoosier4Liberty]

1. When Obama entered office the US was considered "free" economically and was in the top 5. Now, we're down to #12, even below Canada and Estonia!

2. Under President Obama, government spending is at historic levels. With the exception of the brief ultra-surge in spending after the financial crisis, we spend more as a percent of GDP than at any time since World War II.

3. Under Obama, the labor force participation rate continues to decline, which is why the unemployment rate goes down even though we're barely creating enough jobs to account for population growth.

Liberals, these 3 facts will be your albatross in November. Your socialist ways are hurting America, and it's time for you to get out of our way so businesses can create jobs.

Less freedom and less prosperity are co-joined twins

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,


1. Lets hope God still cares about USA, is all.
2. I think God still does, why can't this man be forced from office?
3. He is destroying the best nation God put on this planet.
4. Please God, help us.

It has been during Obama's presidency that the Democrats have made their boldest and clearest case for a move to a more European-style social democracy. If that's the direction we indeed end up going, it won't be a simple and smooth process, nor will it happen overnight, I can guarantee you that.

There is no doubt that American business - from the smallest to the biggest - sees what is being attempted and is hesitant to be too proactive in its approach to growth. The problem with that is that we are now in an intensely competitive global business environment, and hesitancy can kill.

The Democrats worked hard to downplay Obama's stunning, watershed "you didn't build that" statements. This was evident with their insultingly simplistic (and ongoing) "roads and bridges" defense. But any President, and any party, that truly feels this way about business is going to create uncertainty and distortions in a capitalistic economy. This ain't a good time for that, gang.

I deal with this stuff every day. Their denials will fall on deaf ears with me. If the Democrats want a European-style social democracy, fine, then admit to it and let's discuss it in the open air. This reminds me of Obamacare - what they really wanted was Single Payer but we ended up with a massive Frankenstein's monster. Just be honest and let's debate what you actually want, maybe you'll even get your way.

Admin's economic recovery efforts not good, but part of that is based on the GOP's setting the conditions for the Great Recession from 1994 to 2006.

The government's reach is longer while the civil service number is lowest in twenty years.

You buying into the hype about that comment....culled from its context....is what took me from thinking of you as a bright guy....to knowing that you are a bigoted imbecile.

Yep, but the majority of citizens in this country are too low information, not engaged or gets beat down if they even suggest something like this, with names like hostage takers, terrorist, deniers, etc etc

I don't know where it's going to end up

people better wake up

Americans seem to respond to the "vision thing". Paint us a verbal picture of where you want to go, what America would truly look like when we get there. The Republicans have, for better or worse, been happy to paint their picture while the Democrats don't seem to want to be honest about theirs (as illustrated above with Obamacare).

They use denial as a first line of defense, but the uncertainty is causing great damage. Just be honest, let's debate it, instead of this covert, inch by inch approach. Business is paralyzed by this right now, and it really doesn't need to be.

Yep, noted for his need to try to inject race into a proposition.

So the Heritage Foundation thinks we should be more like Denmark?

Government spending is part of that measure.

We spend 4.4% of GDP on defense. Denmark spends 1.4%.

Let's start by fixing that.

Why do you always blame the right? You always leave out the things like the Dems had control of congress when everything went to shit.
