The Democrat Infection Map -Watch the Jobs Die

  This is a capture of an interactive map showing the unemployment legacy of Barack Obama and the Democrats.  It runs to June of 2010.  You can go here to watch the infection spread.  Then you can go to ballot box on November 2nd to vote out the democrats so the healing can begin.  

Wrong Way

Wrong-Way_Goffstown_Democrats

In the long and undistinguished line of left wing rubber stamps milling about the State House like zombies, you can find Kevin Hodges of Hillsborough 7, perhaps better known as Kevin "Awesome Cool" Hodges, among the undead.  Kevin garnered a small measure of fame after an encounter with a young lady in his district who took umbrage with his casual use of vulgar language and his insults of experienced Republican legislators. 

One editorial (and this blog post) later and Kevin was destined for a followup–so here it is.

John ‘Job Destroyer’ Lynch ….Bad for New Hampshire

So John Lynch didn’t create a better job situation, he simply scared off enough people to make the absence of almost 11,000 jobs look like an improvement. 5.8% is better than 6.6% right? Tell that to the 11,000 people who lost their jobs or the thousands more who gave up on John Lynch’s New Hampshire.

John Lynch – Job Destroyer

Governor Lynch and the left-o-crats are guilty of false advertising.  He (and they) have framed John Lynch as a man who is good for the state, and a shining example of how best to ride out a recession.  To support this claim they point to the states better than average unemployment rate, which while lower … Read more

By The Numbers

Have You seen how full of Sh*T I am?--It's all right here in this reportPaul Hodes is trying to restyle himself as a fiscal conservative.  As a Washington outsider.  But Washington outsiders don’t get huge campaign donations from the left wings senatorial elite Like Dan Inoyue, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Bob Menendez. Paul Hodes does.

Fiscal conservatives don’t manage to come in 45th out of 435 in 2010 earmark requests.  Hodes did, then played at fiscal prudence, calling for reform only after having racked up more earmarks than 390 other House members.

In 2008 Hodes took a 10,000.00 dollar contribution from American Crystal sugar–a business looking for a way to break into ethanol production without burdensome upfront costs–the same year Hodes passed masive Ethanol hand-out farm bill mandates which he voted for, then overrode a veto to make it the law of the land.

Mr Hodes has the distinction of being in congress and voting for a budget and spending that resulted in a 400 billion dollar deficit, then campaigning as if he had nothing to do with, and then voting to triple that deficit to 1.4 trillion in the very next budget.

If you can believe it…there’s more on the jump.

Another Biden Three Letter Word…Failure

Smells just like the health care bill, the bank bill, the...Underestimating, miscalculating, failing to anticipate, these are all excuses used by the democrats for a long caravan of failures that are more the product of blind trust by left-wing sheeple in the judgment of an administration that has been way over its head on every issue…since day one.

One of the biggest is the Stimulus.  Morgen Richmond over at Big Government has some actual numbers comparing the White House forecasts to actual Bureau of Labor figures over the last year. The point of course being that they sold you the all new 2009 Obama Stimulusmobile, (fashioned after the classics socialist economic models of the past) and it turned out to be a lemon just like it’s predecessors.

The affects should be far reaching.  Almost every air breather with a (D) not only bought the plan, they sold it as if their lives depended on it.  Not only were they stupid to believe it, they were wrong.  Way wrong.  So now they are pretending it worked.  Sure it did. 

Data and links on the jump.

Obama’s “Real” Katrina

Do we need to bring our own weather stripping or does Obama supply it?Unemployment is up "unexpectedly."  It is up because the feds extended benefits and people came out of hiding to collect it.  That means very little has changed. Well, that’s not entirely true.  Add several trillion dollars in new and improved debt with job killing action, and a year of left wing rhetoric about how every bill that passed through congress was a jobs bill—

“Naming this pot hole after the ditch diggers daughter will create or save 850 Ka-trillion jillion jobs.”

—and we discover once again that the government can’t create meaningful jobs for American families even when it hires ditch diggers (or their more modern equivalent, home weatherizers).

Of course Obama is still working the "it could be worse shtick" which is predicated on a concept nonexistent during Republican administrations but no one is buying it.

 He’s only trying to save a few Senate seats because there can be no creating them.

The Jobs Deficit.

Here’s a suitable followup to the McLuster post.  She (McLuster) whined about Bush tax cuts–that’s where a president let people keep what they legally earned and… oops the economy got better and 3.5 million jobs were created. 

Does that number sound familiar?  3.5 Million jobs?  It should.

Obama and the spendocrats spent trillions to create….3.5 million jobs.  That was the promise.  Stimulus=3.5 million new jobs.  In fact every spending program–and there were quite a few–turned into a jobs program.  Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  Their definition of jobs is different from ours.

Where do jobs come from? Part Deux

Or, "How Government Kills Jobs." Or…Obama to economy: "Drop Dead." Or…Government to new jobs: "Drop Dead even more." A small business owner in New Jersey explains it all in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal.  h/t to Instapundit.

Where do jobs come from?

Democrats and other socialists believe that "government creates jobs" (just like "government gives us our rights"). But most everyone on this list (except for Democrat trolls) knows that jobs are overwhelmingly created by new and small businesses. So…what would a common-sense Republican state senate and house of representatives send to a new Republican governor next year to unleash the entrepreneurial energies of the people of New Hampshire?

NH Unemloyment Not So Good?

A closer look... Beginning in April 2010 the New Hampshire employment picture, the reported percentage at least, started to look a whole lot better. Having reached a high of 7.1% in February 2010, April’s 6.7% was a promising sign, a cool breeze on a hot day.

Things continued to look better through May and the preliminary June numbers are now reporting down to an even more palatable 5.9%.

If these numbers hold it would be the fourth consecutive month of improved reporting.  But is it really a sign of improved employment?

Can we pop the champagne and predict even rosier employment numbers in the months to come?

Probably not.

Lynch Had Nothing To Do With It….or Did He?

Lacking any tangible bullet points with which to elevate their governor the New Hampshire democrat party would like you to believe that John Lynch can take credit for New Hampshire’s better than average unemployment situation.  If this is true then John Lynch is responsible for the existence of Mount Washington as well because it, like the base factors that drive unemployment in New Hampshire, predate him.

New Hampshire was designed for low unemployment long before governor Lynch came along.  The mechanism is one that is both relatively unique and has very little bearing on the length or breadth of federally mandated hand outs designed as assistance for those still looking aimlessly for any of the 8 million jobs that the Obama administration admits it has permanently destroyed.   Put simply, we do not pay people in New Hampshire enough to survive at the same lifestyle level to which they may have become accustomed while working.  When prolonged unemployment compromises your comfort,  you are more inclined to find work almost anywhere work can be found.

So more New Hampshire people are looking for work, more of them are finding it,  and John Lynch had nothing to do with that— which should not to be confused with how Mr. Lynch did impact employment.

Harry Reid’s Innocent Victims

They are making hay and BS sandwiches over at Boo-Hoo Hampshire, this time about the latest unemployment benefits stalemate.   Dean Barker–the Boo Hoo Guru–had begun by waxing on the CBS news coverage on the latest unemployment extension debate when he decided to lament (or perhaps invent) 30 years of GOP policy crushing the little guy, and how even now they are somehow still pulling the levers to crush them even more.  No I’m serious. 

But the best part is the “Boo-Hoo” hook.

The innocent victims, Mr. and Ms. Joe Taxpayer, won’t get what they need to stay solvent.  And nearly one of ten of them can’t find work.  And that’s not counting the vast underemployed.

The innocent victims!  Well what about that?

Swett Turns A Phrase

 

In a recent email to supporters Katrina Swett puts a new spin on the thousand pound gorilla in the room.  The gorilla is the economy and K-Swett appears to have looked to the east for inspiration.  She also spelled the word “lose” wrong.  Figure out where yourself I have a blog to write. 

The new turn of phrase, and we could be seeing this rebranding from all the debt-o-crats in the very near future because they to spin things, is to ‘rebalance the economy.’  “Rebalance the economy?”  (As in less government more freedom?)  Not exactly.  In Ms. Swett’s application she would like to rebalance the economy so that it works for us not just big corporations.  Oh, see it’s those big corporations again.    

Funny thing but this is exactly how the UK’s liberal democrats are using it.  They’ve had this plan to use the government to rebalance the relationship between the people and small and big business in the hope that quaint little shops will compete better and who knows, perhaps even sprout up like mushrooms on Britain’s debt ridden ass.  The means of such fairness appear to be to tax the big shops more.  Rebalancing ala Obama’s spread the wealth around a bit?

Why The Stimulus Had To Fail

It’s simple economics.  Government money comes from taxpayers.  The more government spends the more it relies on taxpayers to pay for its spending.  The less money taxpayers have the smaller the economy will be the fewer jobs there are, which means less income, less taxes, more debt.  The stimulus, the huge budget bills, the massive … Read more

No 3% Solution In Hillsborough

When it becomes evident that they have exceeded our mandate or entered into agreements which have or will become fiscally untenable, the officials charged with representing the taxpayers interest must endeavor to introduce savings and efficiencies that limit the fiscal impact of those tasks before they overcome the ability of reasonable men and women to sustain them.

Another Obama Jobs Program

Obama has apparently banned deep water drilling in the Gulf. Well c’mon, what did you expect. Millions of barrels spewing into the water and oil went down in price? Who cares if thousands more people are now out of work. This is about the agenda damn it. Besides they are probably all a bunch of God fearing, gun clinging republicans anyway.

Hodes = Jobs….Not!

Washington, D.C. – Today, Paul Hodes released the following statement on the announcement that in May, the US economy created 431,000 jobs:

“This month, hundreds of thousands of Americans were able to return to work, earn a paycheck, and provide for their families,” said Hodes.  “But today’s numbers also make it clear that more must be done to encourage the private sector job growth that will put this recession behind us.  As our economy continues to grow, our focus must remain on the Granite Staters who are still looking for work.  We must move forward with job-creating policies that give our small businesses the confidence to expand, hire, and create a stronger New Hampshire economy.”

What Mr. Hodes alludes to but does not dare say, is that 95% of those 431,000 jobs were temporary census jobs.  In reality, almost no jobs were added.  So when he says more must be done to encourage private sector job growth what he means is we’re still at 10% unemployment.  What he’s also saying, but not revealing, is the forty or so press releases he’s issued since January of 2009 that mention creating jobs.  You know… jobs.  The good kind.  With fair wages for American families.  Fat jobs, skinny jobs, jobs that climb on rocks.  Jobs! In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a statement from Hodes in the past 16 months that does not have the word “jobs” in it.

How about a quick trip through the not so way-back machine?
