Told You So, Economy in the Toliet

By Larry Johnson on August 27, 2010 at 8:16 PM in Current Affairs

Don’t know if you recall some of the comments made last May by some of the Obama kool-aid drinkers who frequent NoQuarter and attempt to enlighten us about our failure to appreciate the brilliance of the Golden Child Obama. Here’s what I wrote last May in the appropriately titled, It is Still the Economy Stupid:

Pundits and politicians still don’t get it–we do not have an economic recovery and we are headed for a double-dip recession. Fox News, for example, was spinning like a top today trumpeting the so-called “good” news that new jobless claims “fell”:

In the week ending May 22, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 460,000, a decrease of 14,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 474,000. The 4-week moving average was 456,500, an increase of 2,250 from the previous week’s revised average of 454,250.

Until the number of new jobs being created exceeds the number being lost by at least 200,000 then we are not getting out of the economic hole. The key to this lies in the housing market. One part of this equation is the sale of existing homes–those sales are accompanied by subsequent purchases of new furnishings, painting, rugs and appliances. Another part is the sale of new housing, which means carpenters, plumbers, electricians, brick layers and supply companies are working. If more houses are being built you will need more laborers.

That little bit elicited this nonsense from an Obama-boob:

Economy (68.194.22.229)
Larry it is not clearly how much the housing market is impacting or not impacting the economic recovery at this point, but there are plenty of other indicators that point to an economy well on its way back.

As for your other thesis about the consumer, every weak there are more indicators that the consumer is coming back.

Really? Coming back? You, Mr. or Ms. Economy, must be Joe Biden’s navigator. No wonder you clowns are lost. Did you see the news today?

Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — increased at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the second quarter of 2010, (that is, from the first quarter to the second quarter), according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7 percent.

A contracting GDP does not create jobs. It is a jobs killer. It is time for the Obama team to take off their rose-colored glasses and get a grip on understanding what make the economy tick. More Government regulation? NOPE!! KILLER. More Government imposed taxes? DEATH WISH. More Government workers? BLOOD SUCKING PARASITES.

Obama and team and incapable of making the changes that are needed to revive the economy. Repeal the health care legislation that imposes significant costs on mid-size businesses. Promise to keep the Bush tax cuts in place for four years. Freeze Federal Government hiring and cut Federal pay by 10 percent. At least create the appearance that you have clue about the economy.

But that’s not likely. Obama and Biden are so committed to their dead end dream that they will continue to insist, like Chip Diller, that everything is fine and we must remain calm:

    Where do they get that stuff? I’m surprised they have the ability to breathe on their own. I don’t know about elsewhere in the country but here in east Tennessee we’re hurting.

    The economy has REALLY affected my freelance work.  And I know at least a dozen, well-educated folks who have lost their jobs FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIVES.

    I believe that Obama is doing this on purpose.  Nothing else makes sense, because even a man on the street knows that you can’t spend more money than you make(deficit), you can’t tax your way to prosperity(more jobs lost) and the Government creates NOTHING. 

    I’m a Union member(two Unions, to be exact).
    They’ve done nothing but drive work OUT of my city.  But my dues aren’t going down!  Oh, no, they want their pound of flesh for DESTROYING my work. 

    These bozos in the White House have got to go.  I can’t wait for the elections in November, and I predict a blood bath.  They Democrats can’t find enough dead people to vote themselves back into office this time. 
    We The People are PISSED.

  • Carlaforhillary

    I completely remember your post from last May, Larry.  Time magazine just did an article on how the stimulus  is “changing” America for the better.  They talk about how money is being given to researchers to make our future better, etc. That’s nice…except this is not how the stimulus was “packaged.”  It was packaged to the American people as a stimulus for the economy now, not ten years from now.

    You do not have to be a financial genius to see that the economy is in the tank, and that Obama has no plans to fix it, only make it worse – so he can fundamentally change America.  The kink in his plan is that the republicans are going to take back the house in Nov.

    So Obama got away with pushing through healthcare and financial reform.  

    We need a moderate in the White House, albeit a dem or a repub.  Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned even if a repub gets in – Barbara Boxer actually is using that against Carly Fiorina. lol…k..yes…that is the oldest trick in the book.

    DADT is not going to be overturned on Obama’s watch either.

    Workers produce. Capital creates the means of production. If all the capital goes down a rat hole called Banks and Wall Street, and our means of production is put in containers and shipped out of the country, can anyone with a lick of sense not see why there are no jobs? Obama is no Marxist. He is an accomplice. America has been stolen and the one per cent who have gained the most can afford to leave when push comes to shove. The rest of us are in this for the long haul. I’m thinking of buying up wheel barrows for those with any money left who are going to buy their loaves of bread.

    And I have to wonder if the stimulus money has made it’s way to NY so they can fund the 9/11 Mosque.  That’s right  …

    The Muslim center planned near the site of the World Trade Center attack could qualify for tax-free financing, a spokesman for City Comptroller John Liu said on Friday, and Liu is willing to consider approving the public subsidy.

    I usually love summer and dread winter, but this year I just can’t wait for Recovery Summer to be over. I can see November from my house and it’s only 67 days away.

    Honestly I think a change in leadership in DC is going to be the stimulus we really need. So much of the economy is about attitudes and confidence. Nobody wants to spend, hire, or invest in an anti-business, high tax, share the wealth, kind of country.

    On Tuesday, President Obusha will address the American people from the Oval Office and tell them what they want to hear: the end of formal combat operations in Iraq is at hand. Mission Accomplished 2.0!

    Banking on a population sufficiently medicated on sports scores and addled by credit card debt, President Obusha will read prepared text from his trusty teleprompter and breeze over the fact that 50,000 U.S. troops will remain in Iraq awaiting the completion of the new, $1.3 billion dollar Afghanistan base in 2012.

    The Afghanistan base will include new runways, hangars, barracks, storage areas, a “weapons arming area” and other facilities. They are being built to accommodate the Special Operations troops used by the Pentagon to carry out “targeted killings,” i.e., assassinations, which have become a key component of the U.S. war. They will also house a unit operating pilotless drone aircraft used for “Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance,” as well as lethal missile attacks.

    If all goes as planned, President Obusha will sell the fake withdrawal lie to a nation worn down to the bone from nearly a decade of war, deaths and debt. Of course, selling the lie will require more than a simple leap of faith. It means President Obusha is wagering the White House that the American people don’t read the blogs and are clueless about the expansion of the U.S. Empire into Pakistan, Yemen and Iran.

    All guaranteed future stops on President Obusha’s excellent Empire adventure.

    History is repeating itself.

    Growing up we learned the myth created around the Great Depression.

    Anyone interested in knowing what really transpired duinr ghte Great Depression should read: “The Forgotten Man” and “New Deal of Raw Deal?”

    Obama is recreating history from that period.

    It’s very hard to “like” this one.

  • Diana L. C. Hazelut Nut Thin Cracker

    This is a very hard one on which to congratulate Larry on being right. 

    I had a long talk with my older son.  He’s doing o.k. but, like the rest of most Americans, he’s just not willing to do much in the way of spending on anything that is absolutely not necessary–too afraid of what’s happening next with the economy.

  • Mandelay

    It’s a wonder Obama’s approval ratings are still in the 40s. Why on earth do voters still “like” him in spite of this wreck of an economy? His enduring popularity is frequently mentioned, despite the worry and faded hopes of so many unemployed Americans. But Barack Obama is a popular guy.

    Shouldn’t popularity be a distant second fiddle to competence?

    On Tuesday he will again put on another t.v. performance and maybe he’ll again nudge the 46%-48% closer to 50% or even over 50% for a couple of days. This is, after all, the age of American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, etc. The public rushes to text or vote a thumb’s up or down. Will the public continue to applaud Obama’s performance?  It’s inconceivable that a speech and a tele-prompter could get an incompetent occupant of the Oval Office this far.  And yet here we are, in Recovery Summer. Sadly, Larry is right.  The economy is in the toilet.  And yet, and yet, they like him.  

  • susiepuma-still a crazy cracker

    Well, I am a ‘they’ and I not only do not like him – I absolutely loathe & despise the fraud  – I usually like the warm summer months and do not look forward to winter but this year – I can hardly wait for November to get here…………….. and the only people who seem to like the fraud are the news people who have to be PC because if they say that people are not liking the fraud – they become ‘racists’ – who the hell cares?  I guess I’m a racist and an Islamophobe – like plugs biden says – big fuckin’ deal…………………………

    Yttik, the election may not provide the relief we’re so desperate for.  I’m afraid what it’s going to give us is gridlock.  A year ago I’d have said that was fine–at least they couldn’t do any more damage.  But we’re such a mess now that two years of gridlock will finish us off.

    I see no hope of any improvement until The Pretender is out of office.  We’re in for two more rough years at least.  And dog only knows what will be left when we get rid of him.

  • creeper

    Well, that’s a substantial part of what got him into the White House.  If he can use it to keep himself there, he certainly will.

    Great post Larry. We’re hurtin here in California as well Ferd, big-time. As you say, it’s staggering that these folks have enough gray matter firing to put one foot in front of the other. Cork on a fork to not punch holes in their foreheads….unsuccessfully. No doubt it would scare us to death to really see the chaos and catatonic stares in the eyes of those we’ve entrusted leadership of our Nation to in the Oval especially when Obama stops by for a visit. We told em if they didn’t stop walkin in circles we’d nail their other foot to the floor but did they listen? They will in November I trust, since the word hope has lost all meaning. My big question is, whatever happened to basic logic?

    With regards to our economy and the general state of American affairs, I understand how the trapped Chilean miners must feel. They have no idea when they’ll be rescued, they can’t rescue themselves, they’re REALLY in a deep dark hole, and their fate is in the hands men who can’t possibly fully realize the extent of anxiety of the miners and their families.

    I was a hard rock miner for years, and it was the breathtaking experience of being the first man each time I rushed in ahead of everyone else to see NEW rock after each shot that inspired me to change my major from architecture to geology. Being the first person to see fossils, crystals, or formations that have been buried for hundreds of millions of years was very humbling to a young man with a huge imagination that could paint the details of how the processes of Earth could create such wonders. 

    The rush and thrill of working thousands of feet, sometimes miles, underground is perhaps the main reason men are willing to risk their lives in such a dangerous occupation, since the money isn’t all that good in most circumstances. Anyone who thinks too much of the dangers doesn’t last very long underground, and most old miners gently suggest that nervous Nellies seek another occupation, there’s no shame in recognizing the dangers, and as an instructor in mining operations, I often had to recognize and sadly inform many mining apprentices that they didn’t belong underground. 

    Anyway, I’m really sensitive about mining accidents and incidents, so I guess I’m asking ya’all to say a prayer or at least think about the trapped miners and their families, they’re going through hell right now.

    There are always a few ideologues that will support their “team’ no matter what happens. Even as Bush’s poll numbers finally tanked there was that small group of “loyalists” that still thought he was wonderful.

    Oblahblah will have his group too. In fact he will have a larger group, IMO, because he still retains the slobbering affection, bias and distorted “reporting’ of the Lamestream Media.

    People that aren’t political junkies like us will not “know” what’s going on in the country because the media doesn’t tell them. The coverups and paved overs for Oblahblah are too numerous to count.

    I believe in the long run that the econmy will sink Oblahblah and the Democrats. Blaming Bush is not going to work except with the Democratic base that still blames him for every ill that occurred in the world while he was in office. Including the last 2 years of his presidency when the Dems controlled both houses of congress.

    I don’t “like” the Republicans any more than I “like” the Dems. I just am hoping that their near demise as a party in 2008 will have taught them something.

    If they have learned that their resurrection was caused not by them but by the Democrats overreach and failure to listen and deliver and they do the opposite they have a chance to keep a majority for some time to come.

    Fiscal responsibility is something Americans are having to learn. If they/we have to learn it we sure as hell aren’t going to accept leadership that doesn’t.

    And if the GOP keeps the religious/social crap that many/most Americans do not agree with as quiet as possible. Get back on that train and they’ll fall again.

    I read on the net that NASA is going to help the miners, given they are experienced in dealing with people in small spaces for a long time. The psychological effects of being trapped in the mine are similar to being in space with no room to move around. They are also going to help with supplies and things like that. The tube going to the mine is 3.5 inches in diameter, and everything has to go down it for food, water, etc. I am keeping an eye on the story and I pray they get out safely. The video they sent out yesterday shows them in good shape, and fairly cheerful. I hope it stays that way.

  • Linda C.

    What we need is jobs period.  Obama has only been pushing broad band access to BFE.  Obama has been relying too much on “manufacturing growth” when there is no longer a sufficient manufacturing base in this country to pull us out of this mess.   As long as corporations  and banks are going to sit on their money and hunker down,  there will be no jobs.  As long as consumers, seeing continued unemployment, will not spend their money and therfore there will be no jobs. 

    As long as there is continued unemployment, the tax revenue will fall and the government expenses will increase creating more and more debt with little to show for it.

    The GDP has been recalculated downward because of one factor.  The lack of domestically manufactured products which causes us to buy foreign goods. Whatever gains are made in GDP domestically are being offset by importation of foreign goods. Again we come back to the small manufacturing base in this country.  As long as we buy foreign goods then we are only stimulating foreign economies.  As long as we stimulate foreign economies, private business will not invest in domestic manufacturing creating enough job growth to get us out of this mess.  As long as we have no jobs,  housing will not recover.

    The politicians are only offereing shades of the same philosphy that will not work.  Austerity only works if the country has a sufficient manufacturing base to export goods.  The offset of government spending is made up in manufacturing profits.  Thus Germany can count on being the exporters to Europe because of their manufacturing base.  Austerity in Ireland has not worked because they do not have the manufacturing capability  to stimulate the  domestic economy.

    We need a jobs program similar to FDR.  Unfortunately staring with Bush, we already blew the wallet and have nothing to show for it.  An increase in taxes will not kill the economy either.  Government workers are not blood sucking parasites.  Stop blaming some file clerk.  If you want to look at some blood sucking parasites, look to the private business getting governmental contracts while robbing the tax payer blind.

    I had a teacher who was an economist. He was great, he said to toss out all the BS science, forget the math, and go back to basics. The economy is about nothing more than the simple exhange of goods and services and the price of bananas. Nothing else matters, we over think everything. This was about 25 yrs ago and he thought the economy was unsustainable because of our reliance on credit. Our grandparents could buy a home and pay it off in five years, nowdays we have 45 year mortgages, which makes our wealth and standard of living all fake. He was a big fan of local sustainable micro economies because the global economy wasn’t going to be able to provide us little people with bananas. Ironically, for a rabid liberal, he also believed socialism was a nightmare and going to be a huge bump down the road that we would all need to fight against.

    The one word that crops up from business leaders regarding the economy is uncertainty.  It is the uncertainty of taxes, regulations, and government programs that has driven this economy in the tank.  

    You write about a jobs program.  The private sector creates most of the jobs and not the government.  It is no accident that we are heading for a depression since Obama’s cabinet is made up of academics and politicians with no business experience. 

    Since 2009, the signs were there that Obama was an economic illiterate.  Remember all his summits with leaders from the sectors of business, health care, energy and so on.  It’s a cover for him to say that he’s met with the other side but he’s charging ahead with his ”distribute the wealth” agenda. 

    One last thing, the economy is the #1 priority for the US.  What is topic of Obama’s next Oval office speech - Iraq.  If you follow the Democratic politicians running for office, they are running away from the Dem agenda and sound like outsiders.  BS!

    There’s a lesson there for the Dems if only they had the brains to see it. Overreach and try to take over people’s private lives and the people will send ya packing. Trouble is the Dems only see the GOP as doing that. The Dems are only trying to “help”. Whether the citizens want their damn help of not!

    Yeah, kenoshamarge, the marriage of big business and the moral majority, which was neither, was a union made in the heretofore unknown eight circle of hell. Business is fine–just leave the penny-ante moralizing out of it.

    All the pushing of ‘Islamophobia’ does make one wonder about the agenda, eh?

    Something’s up alright.
