Obama has taken George W. Bush’s inattention to deficits and elevated it to an art form. The Obama administration has no shame, and is willing to abandon reason altogether to achieve its short-term political goals. Ronald Reagan ran up big deficits in part because he believed that his tax cuts would produce economic growth, and ultimately pay for themselves. He may well have been excessively optimistic about the merits of tax cuts, but at least he had a story. Obama has no story. Nobody believes that his unprecedented expansion of the welfare state will lead to enough economic growth. Nobody believes that it will pay for itself. Everyone understands that higher spending today begets higher spending tomorrow. That means that his economic strategy simply doesn’t add up." http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aTKrn1jUJwdE “The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could gather the data on deficits on other worlds.

I can think of so many way the government can push the market with this sort of power, very scary!

"6. Unemployment rising. Every business in the world, big or small, is trying to reduce overhead. One of the quickest and easiest ways to do this is to reduce payroll liability by laying off employees. As of March 2009 the official unemployment rate is 8.5 percent. during the month, approximately 694,000 jobs were lost in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, that unemployment statistic does not count the unemployed people who haven't looked for a job in thirty days, or those working part-time jobs while waiting for work. When you add those people into the official number,the real unemployment rate is 19.1 percent, according to http://www.shadowstats.com. During the Great Depression, unemployment reached 24 percent. At this rate, we will be there soon." http://www.conspiracyoftherich.com
