odlaw 1231pm – unfortunately for Obama, all those passing Econ 101 knew then and know now that Obama’s deficits did nothing to get us out of the Great Recession, and his tax increases and carloads of regs hindered it. But America’s capitalist economy has been strong enough to already weather several socialist assaults, and so it was with Obama’s throwing sand in the gears. But that is no guarantee that the promised ministrations of the clown car occupants will not ultimately do us in to become the ‘sick man of North America’ – after all that’s the Left’s goal to globalism.

To be fair, I haven’t noticed as much grifting as you might expect from that Dynamic Duo. If the media folks want to throw some money their way, it’s no skin off my @ss.
The Clintons set the bar so high for pay-offs, largely bribes disguised as public-speaking fees and ‘charity’ contributions, that it’s hard to be amazed by any other President in my lifetime. I always naturally assumed that Johnson was an incredible crook, maybe just as a by-product of his place and time, but the Clintons really rule the roost here. Obama might be as ridiculous as Trump in a lot of ways, but he doesn’t strike me as being as criminal as Bill ‘n Hillary.
Maybe it’s all just the genius of our Founders at work. Modern Presidents tend to be people who could never have worked their way up through a parliamentary system, it’s all retail politics. Sometimes the oligarchy running the House and Senate needs a troublemaker shooting one across their bow, even if you don’t agree with the specifics.

“Under these work requirements, which had been enacted at the state level during the Obama years, those between the ages of 18-49 and without children or dependents who receive food stamps for more than three months in a 36-month period must work, go to school, receive job training, or volunteer to receive benefits.”

Here is what the Roundtable propagandists don’t want you to know…
In 2013 the number of people on food stamps peaked and has been dropping ever since during the Obama recovery…and into the Trump presidency…Thanks Obama!!!
‘’’Let’s start with the numbers. In October 2015, around 45.4 million people received SNAP benefits. At that time, Trump used this number to argue that the country was failing to recover from the recession. By the time Trump was elected in November 2016, that number had fallen to 43.2 million people; by the time he took office, another couple hundred thousand people had dropped off the rolls.’’’
Wow Walrus!!! Trump only had to mention SNAP and the numbers magically went down before he was even elected!!!

No more free pass for the chi coms tech theft –
The U.S. government is considering whether to stop General Electric Co from continuing to supply engines for a new Chinese passenger jet, according to people familiar with the matter, casting uncertainty over China’s efforts to enter the civil aviation market.
The potential restriction on the engine sales – possibly along with limits on other components for Chinese commercial aircraft such as flight control systems made by Honeywell International Inc – is the latest move in the battle between the world’s two largest economies over trade and technology.
The issue is expected to come up at an interagency meeting about how strictly to limit exports of U.S. technology to China on Thursday and at another meeting with members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet set for Feb. 28, sources said.
