The Obama administration takes responsibility for nothing, take ownership for nothing, avoids direct answers, and passes the buck at every opportunity. It's embarrassing to see a President behave in such a manner. VP Joe Biden forecasted the summer of recovery, betting that the stimulus and other government spending would enable the economy to rebound. But, reality has intervened and the economy has not rebounded. In fact, it has got worse.
"The vice president was talking about the summer of recovery in reference to the Recovery Act, that you would see the creation of a series of infrastructure and other projects ramping up over the summer," Goolsbee said on "Fox News Sunday." "And you did see that."
Are you kidding me? Democrats should be upset about this because it is them who will suffer for Obama's mistakes on the economy.
Those of us with common sense understand the government is entirely incapable of creating jobs. Moreover, the government is not capable of creating anything. All it can do it help foster the environment in which job creation is nurtured. You cannot force an employer to hire, the employer must believe that it makes good business sense to hire someone because the potential to make more money exists.
But every single policy enacted by the Obama administration has made it less profitable to hire. Every decision Obama has made from health care to tax cuts to the regulation of C02 has discouraged hiring, entrepreneurialism, and innovation.
It's very important to distinguish what Obama says from what he actually does. Obama knows how to say the right things, but his actions are decidedly partisan, socialist in nature, and anti-business. This explains why he has virtually no one in cabinet with private sector accomplishments, but a string of bureaucratic and academic clingers who've never had to earn a buck or meet a payroll in the "real world" (i.e. the private sector).
If Obama wants to create jobs, he'll have to reduce the cost of doing business in the USA, but don't expect that anytime soon. Obama does not want to encourage capitalistic enterprise in America, and until 2012 Americans will suffer as a result.
