Every Monday the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation prints a column by Paul Krugman and since It’s by Krugman it is always full of lies and half truths. The one today was no exception. When you think of Pual Krugman just think of one thing. He was an economist for Enron. That should tell you all you need to know. I’m not bothering to link to the colum because it would be a waste of time reading it.
In today’s column, extolling the greatness of Obungler, Krugnam writes that unemployment at this time is lower than it was at the same time during Reagan’s presidency. Of course, this is bullshit. And why is it bullshit? Because the unemployment number is bullshit. It doesn’t couunt the people who have given up looking for work. It doesn’t count the number of people working part time jobs who want to work full time. The real unemployment number is closer to 12% and it is far worse than it was under Reagan at the same time during his administration. And the unemployment numbers are a disaster for blacks. Blacks did far better under Reagan, Clinton, and both Bushes than they have under the Obamessiah. He has been a catastrophe for blacks. Also, the job participation rate is the lowest it has been in the last 70 years. Sorry Paul. You are full of shit and you are lying through your teeth.
Another thing he writes about is that Obummercare has not been the job killer that everyone said it would be. I read an article the other day making the same claim. The claim is that it has not affected jobs since its full implementation. That’s because all the job cuts and hours cut to under 30 hours all took place before its full implementation. Why wait until the last minute when employers could be ahead of the curve and that’s when all the jobs were cut. That’s when full time jobs turned into part time jobs. It happened before the full implementation. Once again, Krugman used a half truth. Obummercare has been a jobs killer. It has also been a drag on the economy and it will get worse.
We are experiencing the most anemic recovery from a recession in over 70 years. By this time, the economy should be going full blast but it isn’t. Every summer, the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party, of which Krugman is a member, would write about a recovery summer which would never happen or green shoots of a recovery which weren’t there. They tried to make unemployment sound like a good thing so people could go on a vacation, but it would have to be a “staycation” where they would have to stay home because they didn’t have any money. Rejoice! You lost you job!
When reading Krugman, I often wonder, does he really believe this crap he’s writing? Prolly not. He’s just another hack propagandist for the Dimocrat Party.
If you think obamacare is bad and expensive now, wait until 2016 when the balance of the communist paradise health care plan lands on us. (and barry of many names will be out of office)
The government will be bailing out all the insurance companies with money borrowed from China, plus the insurance premium rates will almost double. Meanwhile, that slimy liar will be hoisting a glass of champagne with his buddy Bill Ayres to the destruction of this country.
If’n a Republican gets sworn in as President in ’17, watch how fast the LSM start reporting the “real” unemployment rates. “Wow! It was 5.x under Obama and it’s already up to 15.7 under this terrible, no-good Republican!”
“And the new pres was only sworn in 20 minutes ago.”
That number is probably on the low side because it probably counts people who only work more than 20 hours/week.
Ya gotta remember, Denny, that to the MTV generation with their short attention span, Enron is the same to them as Shakespeare’s time is to us. Tryin’ to tell them that SocSec is a Ponzi scheme makes no sense, ’cause they probably think that Ponzi was that ancient video game you hooked up to your back-and-white TV.
“Useful idiot”
