Some Serious Propaganda: Where the Recovery Jobs Are

I believe that Jared Bernstein, Vice President’s Economic Advisor, is just as naive as the Vice President. What did he do? Searched areas to see if the so called Recovery Act is actually working? What about the areas that it isn’t working in, Jared?

The reports say that the economic crisis is almost over. But for who?

021009Recent reports have been saying that the current economic crisis is coming to an end. I don’t know who figure out these reports, or even compiles them, but someone needs to get from behind a desk and walk outside to take a better look. I can give you an idea and this will not cost the government millions of dollars for this report. The economic crisis is anyting but over and it will be longer tp recover than anticipated. How i know this? This is coming from someone that works, or did work, in the real world. 

Take a look around. There are too many homes with ‘for sale’ signs in their yards, newspapers filled with homes going up for foreclosures, thrift stores and dollar stores (where everything IS a dollar) are packed, food banks are getting low and social services are running out of money

Even if the econmic crisis does end, there is going to be a hugh repercussion. The economy is based on the middle class, blue collar workers, the ones living from paycheck to paycheck.  The reason that the middle class is the ones that make the rich richer is because the middle class are the ones that is willing to take out loans for more than what they can afford, accept higher interest rates, frivolous spend and wiling to pay late fees than to lose something. The rich knows this and that is why the middle class is preyed upon. Scam artists knows that the middle class needs money and help with their credit and they prey upon them.

The middle class does adjust. When the economy does level out, do not expect anymore frivilous spending. Thift stores, dollar stores will continue to thrive. One thing will change. Banks will have less money. Those that will be able to secure a job will hold onto their money more than ever. The Economic Stimulus Packet that President Obama approved earlier this year was somewhat a backfire. Some of the corporations that the money was trying to keep afloat still failed and people still lost their jobs. If the money was used the same way that President Bush approved his Stimulus Packet would have been the better option. The reason why the Obama administraion would not allow the same packet is because the government did not like how we spent the money the first time.

In order for the economy to settle, the middle class must be protected. The rich class only bests themselves and berats those that are lower than themselves. When the dust settles, the middle class will still be there.

Who is really backing Barack Obama?

There is a quote, from our own First Lady, I believe she had made when her husband was campaining for the Presidency. “If you can’t run your own house, then you can’t run the White House“. From a website that I came across today, The Confluence, had a very interested post on Barak Obama around Oct. 2008.

I am not an avid Obama supporter nor did I vote for him. The reason is because personally,  I don’t think he has enough political expierence to run the United States of America. I do however wish him well for he has a very daunting task ahead of him. I wouldn’t wanna be in his shoes. What he has done by the end of his term will undoubtably make or break him. But the mystery still remains as how Barack Obama rose so quickly, out of nowhere.

When Obama was a Senator, his Chicago district is plagued by very deplorable living conditions. Much has been said and little is being done. What happened is that Obama pushed for privately owned and managed low-income housing that is subsidized with state and federal funds.  What this means is the government gives the property owner money if they promise to provide housing for needy families and to maintain it under US housing code. Those people that Obama helped out in that area have been recenlty found corrupt on the housing codes. When Obama was asked about it, he didn’t know anything about it. The videos that follow are really disturbing. I know that noone is perfect, but you do have to practice what you preach if you want to run the country.
