The Economy is Improving??

As of late there seems to be some improvement  in the economy...so they say..not that its robust, mind you, but slight improvement. Don't write home to mom about it just yet....but if the economy is improving why is the number of people on food stamps rising: Read More: Up 70% in Five Years . And they say the economy is improving.

On top of food stamps and other entitlement programs

sponsored by the government another welfare giveaway is on the rise: Read More: Disability Payments on the Rise.  And they say the economy is improving.

Jobs aren't rising, though. Where are they? It seems the president, despite his rhetoric in the past, doesn't care that so many people are still unemployed. All he's done is make it more difficult for employers to create them. This weeks' applications for unemployment insurance rose by 16,000.

And States are strapped for cash as revenues are at all time lows. Some are considering a "pot tax." Read More: Taxing

"Mary Jane"

Marijuana .  And they say the economy is improving.    


As for the poverty rate, 15 percent of Americans qualified as poor in 2012.  The official poverty line was an annual income of $23,021 for a family of four which means approximately 46.2 million people were below the poverty line.

Also, the median household income in 2012 was $50,054, 1.5 percent lower than 2010.  And they say the economy is improving.

A bright light in the economy may be in the housing market, which started this downfall in the first place. Read More: Housing Up

But all in all, with unemployment still down, consumer confidence low, an administration that is on a tax and spend binge and overall stagnant growth....can one honestly say things are looking up. The National Debt is fast approaching $17 trillion with no sign of slowing down. View the debt clock: National Debt Climbing 

President Obama claims we can manage the debt at these levels...I'm sorry, Mr. President, but who are you kidding. The stock market looks good at over 15,000 points. But that's only

because your Federal Reserve guy, Ben Bernanke is printing money like crazy, thus lower interest rates, but also a weaker dollar.


Unfortunately, Mr. Obama's vision for this country does not rival his predecessor's of the past. Obama's America is not one of strength, economically or militarily. His view is that of of an anti-colonialist and that no country should be superior to another. Through Barack Obama, America is no longer the superpower it once was. We are being knocked down several notches to be on par with countries such as we find in Europe.

Remember back on the campaign trail in 2008 when Obama said, “We Are Going To Fundamentally Change America.” We now know what he meant. It's time for us to wake up and realize this change is not what we want.
