Read this blurb from the AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (GYT'-nur) says many Americans will face hard times for a long time to come.
He says President Barack Obama rescued the United States from a second Great Depression and will keep working to strengthen the economy. But Geithner says will be some time before many people feel like the country is recovering.
Geithner tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that it's a very tough economy. He says that for a lot of people "it's going to feel very hard, harder than anything they've experienced in their lifetime now, for a long time to come."
The reason why folks do not believe in a recovery is simple: 30 million of the labor force is either out of work or "underemployed" with no hope in sight for a return to the "good old days" of Bush 43 and Clinton. Articles abound declaring that if you are 50 and have lost your job, the prospects for gainful employment are near zero.
The Administration continues to play games with the "inflation" report, as well, claiming there is little to no inflation. They, the Administration, can only make this ridiculous claim because it does not count rising gas prices and residential energy increases. No kidding. As a consequence, those on Social Security have not received a cost of living increase, mandated by law, since Obama took office. This is one of the biggest benefit cuts in history but it goes unreported and under the radar . . . . . except, of course, in this old man's house.
Obama's defeat in 2012, is not a partisan issue for me. The man is a walking and talking disaster. I would work for his defeat, even if he was the defacto leader of the TEA Party Movement. Besides being dishonest and a jerk, he is an academic with no experience in the real world and is ruining the country as he tries to learn his job.
Like Hillary once said, "The Presidency is no place for on the job training."
That should be the quote of the decade.
