“This election to me is about which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment. This is a clear choice. The Republican plan is to cut more taxes on upper income people and go back to deregulation. That’s what got us in trouble in the first place”Thank God, Clinton isn’t under oath! What got us in trouble was Clinton sending 100,000’s of American jobs to other countries while his friends became filthy rich. Clinton started increasing the entitlements while the real jobs in America were dwindling. As a result Clinton added $1.5 trillion to the national debt and who knows how much he stole as IOU’s from the entitlements like social security. And many of the people Clinton kicked off the welfare roles ended up on permanent disability. So Clinton has this all wrong. What got us in trouble was that the real revenues coming in were being reduced in relationship to what would end up going out. In other words if you are losing 100,000 jobs a week, you eventually lose that tax revenue. In the end social programs like head start, children’s food programs and healthcare begin to shift the balance of real revenue versus government spending.
“President Obama has a plan to re-build America from the ground up, investing in innovation, education and job training. It only works if there was a strong middle class. That’s what happened when I was president. We need to keep going with his plan. I am Barack Obama and I approve this message.”Again we have more lies. Clinton started the police program when the US government subsidized more police personnel for only 2-3 years. It may have falsified his employment numbers but after a few years these folks were no longer subsidized by Clinton. The real question is in the last 4 years: What has Obama done to encourage innovation, education and job training? To answer the question substantially, and if you are honest the answer is nothing. It is true that you need to employ the middle class so they can pay the bulk of the revenue to the government. I don’t think Clinton means “strong”. He really means employed with real jobs paying taxes so we can reduce the debt caused by all the unconscionable government spending. So far Obama has overspent about a trillion dollars a year. He didn’t have to deal with Katrina. He didn’t have to deal with 911. He could have gotten us out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen etc. He could have spent money protecting our embassies and their personnel, but he was too busy campaigning. In the end, Obama has nothing to show the middle class. Obama has made a lot of people rich. He has made bankers rich. He has made his friends rich by allowing them to move their factories to China and making it easy for them to sell their inferior products to Americans. Obama has made it easier for our American business phones to be answered in foreign countries. Can you find any reason to believe that Obama has done anything to make the middle class stronger? So when Clinton says we need to keep going with his (Obama) plan, I didn’t know Obama had a plan. Did you? The only plan I see is 24 million people not employed and on some kind of government assistance. I see $6 trillion dollars more of debt and that to grow more exponentially as Obamacare takes effect. Some one should call Clinton on his lies? What is the Obama plan? If he knows, he should share it with us. But if we look at Obama’s numbers, America can’t afford another 4 years of Obama’s failed policies. Even if Clinton continues to lie about them, it won’t make the middle class strong. Matter of fact, it won’t make any American strong. Do you think it might be time to send the liars back to Chicago and Arkansas?
