On Economy, White House Says ‘Better’ Isn’t ‘Good’

The propaganda from this clueless administration is endless.
If your credit card company raised your credit limit, would you consider that “tax relief”? Of course not.
Repeat after me:
Business loans are NOT tax relief. They’re debt!
Smart businesses don’t borrow money when they’re not sure what their future tax and regulatory burdens are. Period.

Better isn’t good? Yeah, we’ve pretty much already figured that one out!

Now this administration is supporting tax relief for small business as a economically beneficial? I’m having a hard time keeping up with this!

Better isn’t good. This is ridiculous. If you put Sarah Palin or even Levi Johnston as Presidents, you can still say “Better isn’t good.”

The very idea that the O’bama administrations thinks THEY KNOW WHAT IS BEST so they just make a recess appointent of Dr. Donald Berwick asAdministrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services. Since some Congressional members DON’T KNOW, then they just need to take care without botherning to have a hearing. WHERE will this administration’s presumtion that THEY know what’s best STOP?

After watching Jake Tapper’s interview with Axlrod it’s apparent the large corporation and Wall Street have a new tactic, persuade the public that Presdent Obama and his administration are unfriendly to business. Jake, ABC, Corporate America and Wall Street should remember the huge mess the Bush Administration handed the current administration. The financial community was a disastor and the greed that permeated all of Corporate Amercia was an embarassement to the country. We have almost 10% unemployement but if they handn’t done something the unemployment could have been double that. They should remember the Republicans bailed out Wall Street and big business first and forgot about the impact on main street. The American people aren’t naive and they understand that large Corporations and Wall Street don’t give a damn about what happens to main street unless it impacts their ability to pay large bonuses and dividends. They need the checks and balance that real regualation brings. We as a nation can grow and expand if we elininate the abuses of Wall Street and Corporate America. When Jake implied that President Obama is unfriendly to business he was following the new rehtoric developed by the spin masters of big business and Wall Street. It is the small businesses in the community that are hurting. They don’t have the funds to bank their cash, thy have to use it to pay bills. The unemployement that we see today is a direct result of policies that favored the large banks and Wall Street and if not controlled will cause an even deeper recession or depression in the not to distance future.

Republicans and Tea Partiers are so clueless. Arizona Republicans wrote legislation and try to pass it in Washington that will eliminate Amendment XIV Section 1 of Bill of Rights to the Constitution.
The Second half of Section 1 Amendment XIV reads: No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

David Axelrod has to be the worst thing that ever happened to the Obama administration…

Sick of the presidents LIES one after another .America can you not SEE it .He is Campaigning again and again.Our economy is worse it ever has been and will not recover as long as this community organizer is in the white house.

Why would anyone believe the White House dog washer Axelrod,who will say anything to save his plush job? Just look at the Un-employment if you want to see how the Economy is doing Nevada at 15% and Obama is campaigning for Reid to keep things the same?

Green technology is the future of this country. That’s the big reason that I support Obama’s drive to expand tax credits to clean energy corporations. The BP disaster is just the tip of the iceberg, which incidentally are melting because of global warming.
Our dependence of Filthy Fossil Fuels involves a dangerous game of Russian roulette. PLUS, green tech is an emerging industry and an emerging job engine. According to an article in the Business Section of the Los Angeles Times by Tiffany Hsu, green tech already provides California with 125,000 jobs – and green tech is still its infancy. If you want more info on future possibilities, I’d suggest you log on to AlgaeVenture Systems, or Sapphre Energy/OriginOil.
The GOP, which gets its money from Big Oil, has decided to make green tech a political issue. It’s not. Our national security depends on how fast we can liberte ourselves from Filthy fossil Fuels. The GOP wants America to fail. The GOP, the partyof NO responsibility, hates America.

Big business like GE and Verizon fear small business eating into their profit space. The recovery is driven by small business not big business so they are by definition a red hearing. Right now the SBA has loans available for new startup businesses with a 15 to 25% personal stake to obtain small startup loans in the state of New Mexico. The commercial real estate in New Mexico has responded by being the most expensive of any state. The fact is big business fears small business and they want to protect that at all costs. I call on this administration to quickly move this SBA program across every state in the union so that real estate speculators do not take advantage and increase the risk with a likelihood of failure. Again it is small business that will carve our way out of this economic fairy land that big business has put us all in. What Obama is about, is small business because he knows that small business people respond the best at hiring and hiring legally.

THE GOP gets its money from BIG OIL?
Who was by FAR the largest recipient of oil company money ?
Barack Hussein Obama MM MM MM
Please remember most everything this Administration says it a half truth at best! We need more of this like we need a hole in the head

Note to Mr. Tapper: Axelrod touts that the AMA and AARP are in favor of Burwick appt. AMA only represents 20% of physicians. AMA, AARP and Hosp assoc.are in bed with Obamacare due to the kickbacks they are getting.
It is an abomination that a person in control of a bigger portion of the budget than the defence department is not going through a confirmation process. Does Obama/Axelrod think that the secy of Defense should be a recess appt.???
As a physician who takes care of Seniors every day… I strongly OPPOSE CMS Rationing of healthcare.

“This is all a Liberal Lie! There is no green program even close to cost effective they all need massive massive taxpayers support.”
Rick, just curious – are you familiar with the term “Peak Oil”. The peaking of world oil production is a classic risk management problem.
Google the report “Peaking of World Oil Production: Impacts, Mitigation, and Risk Management” – it was created by request for the US Dept. of Energy, published in 2005.
The report concluded we have roughly 20 years, optimistically, before the world reaches a steep decline in oil production. So now it’s 2010. We have 15 years. Without “mitigation” – or action to lessen the in severity of this drastic change in energy production, the report concludes that peaking of world oil production will cause major global economic upheaval and chaos.
However, economic upheaval is not inevitable. The report states government intervention will be required, and that expediency may require major changes to existing administrative and regulatory procedures.
Now here’s what I suspect. There are many people in Wall Street and government of all political stripes and far from “green”, who do not view this report as a “liberal lie”. Society does not benefit from panic. They see this transition as an opportunity to get into the ground floor of the next bubble – producing jobs and a happier electorate.
And yes, I also suspect it will require massive taxpayer support, always difficult to legislate, but much less troublesome than huge financial rewards from another bubble or dealing with major global chaos.

“Rick, just curious – are you familiar with the term “Peak Oil”. The peaking of world oil production is a classic risk management problem”
Of course there’s no point in planning ahead…

These guys remind me of ants on log drifting downstream… they think they are steering!

Sure, give all the money and tax breaks to small business. Once that’s done, who is going to come and buy their goods and services if everyone is broke because they either don’t have a job or are afraid of losing the one they have?

Well Sigmonde, I suspect that’s the same conclusion the Big Oil boys in the White House came to back in 2002. Iraq sits on a lake of oil. Back in 1999 the then CEO of Halliburton said, “While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East, whith 2/3 of the world’s oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies….”
Seriously, download the the report created for the US Dept. of Energy, “Peaking of World Oil Production: Impacts, Mitigation, and Risk Management”. It clearly shows why we need to build alternatives NOW.

“It’s true that there is not a great desire” on Capitol Hill to spend more money, Axelrod said, “even though there is some argument for additional spending in the short-run to continue to generate economic activity.”
