Politicians Use Words to Cover Truth

Christine Romer, former Obama Economic advisor and now UC Economics Professor told a panel at UMo, St Louis that we are in a growthless recovery. What in thunder is that?

In her comments, she also admitted that job numbers are not exciting. It takes 100,000 jobs every month just to keep pace with the growth in the workforce as our population expands. Add to that the illegal aliens and consider that for young people, due to such a high minimum wage, businesses opt for more skilled workers at that cost, and we're shooting ourselves in the foot.

We have had nothing get better since Obama got elected. He promised to remove troops from Iraq by the end of 2011 but that won't happen. He tells us he just needs a few more years. What happened to the touch of the Messiah?

Everything they do is hypocritical. Now they're telling us that coal saves the environment, as long as it's burned in China. Obama chides Congress for vacations, then flits off to Martha's Vineyard. He lectures us on fiscal responsibility while he spends more money than every other President ever combined, even if you count Calvin Coolidge twice. His green energy push is hedged by companies that are involved in the green industry going bankrupt. Once it was global warming, and now it's just 'climate change', which to everyone else is called 'weather'. The president says he's interested in our thoughts and then holds his town hall meetings on twitter where you have to limit your comments to under 140 characters. How substantive can you get in that space?

You do not get to define the words. A growthless entity is one that is damned, that is stagnant, that is not expanding. How is that recovery? If that's the case, every stinking plant in the desert is recovering all the time, because most of them hang on for dear life during the summer and don't grow at all. Growthless recovery...how jejune of a notion. If they could prove Obama's policies had worked, they would have. it would have been clear to convict him. Instead, it's a lot like the Casey Anthony trial, where the prosecution was clearly not able to piece things together to the satisfaction of armchair investigators worldwide.
