AP tries to spin it for Obama, fails
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream.
Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized U.S. economy, the widening gap between rich and poor and loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend.
The findings come as President Barack Obama tries to renew his administration’s emphasis on the economy, saying in recent speeches that his highest priority is to “rebuild ladders of opportunity” and reverse income inequality.
Hardship is particularly on the rise among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among that racial group about their families’ economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987. In the most recent AP-GfK poll, 63 percent of whites called the economy “poor.”
Meanwhile, full-time jobs are being replaced by part-time and Obama had issued his Royal Edict that he wants more of any money you have left
The Obama administration dug in Sunday on its vow to reject proposed spending cuts by congressional Republicans in upcoming budget talks, but declined to say whether the president would veto their proposals or allow a government shutdown.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told “Fox News Sunday” that President Obama will neither sign government funding bills that slash domestic spending nor negotiate with Republicans over spending cuts to reduce the federal debt limit.
“Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told “Fox News Sunday” that President Obama will neither sign government funding bills that slash domestic spending nor negotiate with Republicans over spending cuts to reduce the federal debt limit.”
Obama should face three more years of fixed sum continuing funding resolutions set at no increase, minus implementation of Obamacare, and have the house tell him we will not negotiate with him (or Reid) or fund any executive action he takes.
Lame duck on a leash,
quack all you like, bless your heart.
Out-quack your tame press .
“. . . based on several measures . . .”
Yep, measures hand selected not to reflect untoward circumstances in the actual scheme of things. Better those not be mentioned.
prez. foodstamp™ delivers
And what are the odds of the current House doing that? or anything happening if Obama just says “Funding? I control the check-writing machine. What you gonna do about it?”
What I thought.
We’re in the wilderness and our “leaders” have feet of clay.
Well, if it weren’t for my wife’s death “benefits” I’d be living in a box under the Lanier bridge. My coastal area is in the Second Great Depression. Whole shopping centers have emptied out. I denounce myself for pointing this out….
– The beauty, or pain, take your pick, of pointing out the reality that surrounds us, even as that half white jackass in the WH brays his bullshit Narrative(tm), is all we really have to maintain our sanity.
– Otherwise we’d all just sit and smile and clap in unison for the butterfly shitting Unicorns in Utopia valley, while we starve to death and the fearless leader and his fat-assed wife eats Arugula.
Is there a budget? Has any budget passed during his presidency?
No budget has been passed during Obama’s presidency.
for at least parts of their lives
i struggle with hunger all the time
then I eat tasty foozles
then later on I struggle some more
I don’t always keep the propaganda sluts at the Associated Press in the loop
Is there a budget?
– What possible purpose could a stiffling, troublesome budget serve, when Utopia is at stake, and you have no intention of spending anything less than whatever it takes to pave over the depression with your Commywood paper mache’ Utopia, no matter how much phony money you have to print.
– Get serious. Budgets are for unuanced clingers.
Budgets are, like, math. And math is just one vowel away from meth. And drugs are bad, m’kay?

I don’t disagree Obama has fucked up the economy, but those numbers are BS.
Oh they are technically true…sort of. It is just a load of steer crap.
– Troubles on the domestic front are just one area where the “talk-talk-talk”, all hat and no cattle approach of the hyper-hipocrites of Leftist Progressivism shows for the umpteenth time why Socialism always fails.
– Maybe the 1.85 million Syrian refugees are invisible to the Lefturds, like WMD’s, at least thats the way they’re being treated by the whores in the American MessMedia, and Jug ears doesn’t want to know about it in fear of his base, where he might be compelled to finally DO something. Yeah, that could happen.
– We’re reduced to having to watch UK and Al Jazeera news outlets if we want to have any idea of whats going on in the ME.

Yes, the RNC Really DID Support Federal Oversight of State Elections
I think there was one budget, way back in 2009. Maybe two, depending on what they did with the Bush budget for 2009.
-I think there was one budget, way back in 2009.-
reid and pelosi went full cr mode after the baracky got power
Without googling Ernst, I don’t think there’s been a budget since Pelosi/Reid took the reins of congress in 2008.
indeed this was one area orangeman had power post 2010. and he pissed it away because fighting demonrats is “bad” and the msm don’t like it
I’m sorry, Jan. 2007.
OK, I googled. You were right.
2009 United States federal budget
the demonrats stopped playing by the rules when they owned the fed gov’t – 2009
” The final resolution was approved by the House on June 5, 2008.[2] The final spending bills for the budget were not signed into law until March 11, 2009 by President Barack Obama, nearly five and a half months after the fiscal year began.”
ibid
Who needs a budget when you have a printing press and aren’t afraid to use it?
nr, I read your 7:24 as “final solution”.
I remember that because there was that chart about Obama not adding to the deficit all that much, and the way they got there was by giving the 2009 budget to W.
“. . . where he might be compelled to finally DO something.”
Oh, Obazm is already doing something alright, it’s just that no-one seems to notice what it is he’s doing: he’s fulfilling Al Qaeda’s every demand, one quiet little bit at a time. Another name for it is surrender.
so the 2008 bailouts are locked into the cr. i wonder if “baseline budgeting” is too. probably with these thieves.
old man mitchy and orangeman be taking a ride by the choom gang.
The thing about a Continuing Resolution on the budget is that all of the assumptions written into the last budget are — well — continued. The ’09 budget is the baseline, by necessity.
i wrote jg a note. i said to him that mike lee’s proposal is a starting point. remove the solyndra energy stuff, remove the delta smelt stuff CA Republican Wins State Sen. Seat in Dist. with 60% Hispanics, 22-Pt. Dem Adv., remove all edu stuff etc.
the cr is the budget. fight them.
cause it matters
math notwithstanding
lying liars what lie:
IN STORY ABOUT OBAMA ADMINISTRATION GOING AFTER JOURNALISTS, New York Times names Bush, but not Obama.
“cause it matters”
remove all the hollyweird tax breaks in the irs code
“cause it matters”
insert language that all border security is implemented or the cr is dead. eff these peeps.
math still says game over thank you for playing whoremerica here are your lovely parting gifts
Yes, it is. The one time stimulus that didn’t work because it wasn’t big enough has now been spent five times over to know effect. Probably because it still isn’t big enough.
Right Paulie K?
Don’t kid yourself, nr, they’re every bit as much the choom gang as are Pelosi, Reid and Obama.
“, they’re every bit as much the choom gang as are Pelosi, Reid and Obama.”
keep “hope and change alive” put the delta smelt in their face. do it for the “hispanics”!!11!!
that’s why Lee has to add the kitchen sink to the cr.
or forward in all directions:

these peeps suck
Republicans to make big pushes on oversight legislation
time for sumthing new
you got the effin money: cut it the eff off you dumb beltway losers.
This is what it looks like when some grandiose, pompous fucking idiot who thinks they are fair by definition (the expectation of a cheap grace that comes from merely aligning one’s self with those who claim to be on the right side of history) generously deigns to try and reach out across an imagined gulf of intellectual progress towards presumed drooling atavistic subhumans and bring them light(TM) and truth(TM) in the service of establishing a platform for social justice*.

(Social Justice is a euphemism for the arbitrary and capricious breaking of eggs for the promise of an omelette later. And by eggs I mean humans, property, and institutions. And by omelette I mean paradise on earth in the form of riots, pay outs, show trials, chaos, aggression, sometimes starvation, paranoia, power mongering, totalitarian despotism, embezzlement, mass exodus, and eventual societal collapse)
Fortunately. our flawed document says that no money can be spent without approval from the House, and Boehner is at the helm.
Hahahaha. I kill me sometimes.
Oh noes, Obama’s drowning!

Accomplishments, real and phony.
In 2011 that snapshot showed 12.6 percent of adults in their prime working-age years of 25-60 lived in poverty. But measured in terms of a person’s lifetime risk, a much higher number — 4 in 10 adults — falls into poverty for at least a year of their lives.
The problem there is not “everyone is poor!”. (I mean, some people are, of course. of that 12.6 pecent, a fair number really are just plain poor, for various reasons.)
The problem is “AP’s selling poverty”, either just “because news” or “because whoever was involved wants more government to fix it”.
Because “poverty for at least a year of their lives” for 2/5 of the population?
Pay your way through college? “Poverty”.
Grad student? “Poverty”?
Shitty post-high-schol job? “Poverty”.
That that’s not what we really mean by that term doesn’t matter – it’s good enough for a scary factoid and “something must be done”.
