I am not saying that he shouldn't focus on the economy... but I showed a chart before that shows the entitlements for the poor (the programs) vs. the entitlements for the rich (tax breaks)
I am not saying he's doing some bang up job... he's not... but so far, NO ONE... I mean NO ONE has shown a plan that I consider better.
You all talk about cutting spending and I'm with it, but be honest... WHO is really talking about cutting spending on the 3 places where it matters?
NO ONE.
The farmers get tons of subsidies... That is helping keep food costs low right?
The gas prices, we already don't agree on, I say the cost is artificial, you say it's Obama's fault... We will never agree on that.
Other commodities I see the exact same way.
How are tax breaks an entitlement? You have to pay taxes to get a tax break, you don't have to do anything to get an "entitlement" of course other than scam the system or be "poor". I don't think the federal government should be involved, their responsibility is to the nation as a whole not the individual. The "entitlements" should be left up to the states.
From what I can tell about farm subsides, the government pays farmers not to grow food, what sense does that make?
I did not say gas prices are Obama's fault, his policies are not helping, but in the big picture it is manipulation of supply etc, and the ME "crisis" at this point. The POTUS can either push for more domestic production or ask the Saudi's to up production, from what I can tell he has done neither.
The whole stock market is artificially inflated by the FED pumping money into it, giving the appearance that the economy is improving.
