Both Sides Against The Middle


Some Facts that unfortunately were left out of the recent election campaign:
Q: Which one of these two candidates has a plan to reduce the debt     A:  neither.
Q: Which one has a plan to even slow the growth in the debt?  A: neither
Q: Which one has even discussed a plan on how to staunch the decline in middle class income (above)?
A: Suffice to say that Romney's Bain Capital and other vulture capitalist firms were an overwhelming driver of the middle class liquidation.  Meanwhile, Obama & Co. turned a blind eye to the carnage that occurred on their watch.  In addition, Obama did nothing to reform Wall Street after 2008, which is by far his largest failure as President.  
Q: How many jobs were created during Obama's term?  A: 5 million
Q: How much did National debt increase under Obama? A: $5 trillion
Q: How much did each job cost?  A: $1 million ($5 trillion/5 million)
Q: What was the most honest statement made in the entire election? A: Joe Biden who said that "The Middle Class was Buried in the last 4 years".  I guess he looked at the chart above and decided to tell it like it is.  His own party laughed it off as a "gaffe".
That's what the truth represents in American politics - a big gaffe.

The real (rhetorical) question is how did all of these lamestream media buffoons jointly decide to turn their backs on the most important issues of the day and otherwise convert the entire election into a reality tv  circus?  The answer is in the $800 million spent on campaign ads which lined the pockets of the various media whores.  It used to be that the media were the watchdogs of democracy - those days are long gone.  Media loyalty is now paid for up front, in cash.

Last Question:
Who would you rather have as President, a guy who is expert at outsourcing jobs and industries and played a direct major role in the outsourcing of the United States.  Or a guy who let Wall Street off the hook for 2008 and who also thinks that spending $1 million per job is evidence of a good economic track record ?

We don't know which Harvard educated buffoon is going to win this election (results coming in as I write), but judging from the chart above, we know who already lost.
