Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: Dems Accuse GOP of Economic Sabotage — Again

WASHINGTON (AP/The Blaze) — Are Republican lawmakers deliberately stalling the economic recovery to hurt President Barack Obama’s re-election chances? Some top Democrats say yes, pointing to GOP stances on the debt limit and other issues that they claim are causing unnecessary economic anxiety and retarding growth.
The latest Democratic complaint came after House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that when Congress raises the nation’s borrowing cap in early 2013, he will again insist on big spending cuts to offset the increase. Boehner, R-Ohio, continues to reject higher tax rates, which Democrats demand from the wealthy.
That led Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to say Boehner is virtually assuring another debt-ceiling crisis as bad or worse than the one that shook financial markets nine months ago.
“The last thing the country needs is a rerun of last summer’s debacle that nearly brought down our economy,” Schumer said in a statement. In an interview, Schumer added: “I hope that the speaker is not doing this because he doesn’t want to see the economy improve, because what he said will certainly rattle the markets.”
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Boehner responded in a statement: “Republicans have passed nearly 30 bills that would help small businesses create jobs and we are waiting on Senate Democrats to vote on these common-sense measures. The failure to act on these jobs bills, as well as our crushing debt burden, is undermining economic growth and job creation.”
Democrats say Republicans loaded their jobs bills with provisions certain to doom them in the Senate, such as restrictions on unions and on regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
Regardless of whether Schumer’s suspicions are correct, there’s evidence that unceasing partisan gridlock and the prospect of big tax increases and spending cuts in January are causing some companies to postpone expansions. Even small economic slowdowns are bad news for Obama, who is seeking re-election amid high unemployment.
The Washington Post thi
s past week compiled a list of military contractors, hospitals and universities that are delaying hires and bracing for cuts, partly because of fears that Washington’s partisan divisions will not abate.
The most obvious showdown will happen soon after the Nov. 6 election. Unless a lame-duck Congress can make deals, the economy will suffer a double whammy of large tax increases and spending cuts, starting Jan. 1. The tax increases would hit virtually every working American and the spending cuts would affect military and domestic programs.
Economists say that what Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke calls a “fiscal cliff” could possibly lead to another severe recession.
On top of that, perhaps by late January or so, Congress and the president — be it Obama or Republican Mitt Romney — will again confront the need to raise the country’s borrowing limit or else trigger a first-ever government failure to pay its debts. A partisan showdown over this issue last summer led to a downgrade in the nation’s credit worthiness and a sharp stock market drop.
These crucial decisions will occur after the presidential election. But investors, planners and business owners make decisions about hiring, expansion and investments months in advance. The more they worry about a serious economic downturn in nine months or so, the more reluctant they are to expand operations and hire workers now.
“All that uncertainty has us cautious, and we’re scaling back our hiring expectations,” said Eric Remington, vice president of Kaman Corp., which recently canceled plans to hire 200 new workers at a defense aerospace plant in Jacksonville, Fla.
Schumer and other top Democrats have said for months that GOP lawmakers may be trying to strangle the economic recovery for political reasons.
“Their strategy is to suffocate the economy for the sake of what they think will be a political victory,” Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, wrote in an email to supporters last October, when Congress was debating a jobs bill.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said his Republican counterpart was not cooperating on that legislation “in hopes that he can get my job, perhaps.”

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, told The Associated Press last year that some GOP lawmakers, “through their intransigence, cleverly set up a situation for America’s economy to fail, either by needlessly driving us to default, or needlessly driving us into massive public-sector layoffs.”
Federal, state and local government layoffs have been under way for months. They may be necessary to reduce deficits and survive recessions. But they increase unemployment, a problem for any president seeking a second term.
Since February 2010, when the Labor Department started reporting a steady decline in unemployment, the private sector has gained 4.2 million positions. But federal, state and local governments during that time have cut more than 500,000 jobs – and those are just job cuts in the public sector.
What about the number of people who have dropped out of the workforce?
“In April the number of people not in the labor force rose by a whopping 522,000 from 87,897,000 to 88,419,000 [emphasis added],” Zero Hedge reports.
Bottom line: the economy created only 115,000 jobs in April, 522,000 people left the labor force, the “official” unemployment rate is 8.1 percent, and total employment for the month actually fell 169,000, according to CNBC.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California did not ascribe partisan motives to Boehner’s latest warnings about the next debt ceiling showdown. But she said he may be unnecessarily hurting the economy. “It already can be damaging, just the fact that it’s brought up,” Pelosi told reporters Thursday.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
Republicans say it’s absurd to make such an accusation. They point to bipartisan efforts to pass jobs-creation bills, trade pacts and, after some arguments, an extension of the payroll tax cut that Obama originally had proposed for only one year.
GOP lawmakers want Congress to act this year to ensure that none of the Bush-era income tax cuts will expire, as scheduled, on Jan. 1. Such assurance, they say, could lead investors and business owners to start expanding and hiring now.
Democrats say the move, by itself, would increase the deficit dramatically. They want to end the tax cuts for the wealthiest and they note that the economy boomed during Bill Clinton’s presidency, before the big tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 were enacted.
Boehner’s aides say the speaker supports tax law changes, including eliminating some loopholes and exemptions, that could result in greater revenue even if rates remain the same or are reduced.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH)
As for the debt limit, “allowing America to default would be irresponsible,” Boehner said Tuesday at an economic forum. “But it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling without taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and reform the budget process.”
Democrats say that’s precisely the type of economic saber-rattling that can frighten investors and employers, and damage Obama’s re-election hopes. Boehner disagrees.
“I said that we should not wait until the 11th hour to address these issues,” Boehner told reporters Thursday. “The only ones who are talking about drama or brinksmanship are my Democrat colleagues.”
The danger of another credit-rating downgrade “comes from continued inaction on the deficit, and our piling debt,” he said, not from “calls for action.”

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 7:52pmPsychological projection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.[1]
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or “projecting,” those same faults onto another person or object.
The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud – in his letters to Wilhelm Fliess, ‘“Draft H” deals with projection as a mechanism of defence’[2] – and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud; for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as Freudian Projection.[3]

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 7:53pm@mibugnu2- would not try to defend the spending of the last few congresses, especially 110. I remember hearing people prior to Nov. 2008 that the position of the next potus was the worst job ever and not only was that true but the man who got that job wasted his opportunity on a health care bill when he controlled congress. I believe the only way out of this mess is to cut taxes AND all entitlements including medicare. Defense spending needs to be refocused and cut liberally. Enough of the can’t touch my stuff mentality. If you want to survive as a country, then all have to endure pain. We need to refocus within our borders as the “others” continue to bleed us to bankruptcy….all they have to do is make noise about terrorism and we spend billions or more in response. They are playing us for the fools we are proving to be.

Posted on May 20, 2012 at 4:32pmIn that gang of twelve, the republicans were willing to go along with the Boles-Simpson, but modify it on the end. The dumbocrats refused and no budget deal was worked out. This was what the president set up, even the pres didn’t support his own committee!

Report Post »I don‘t care if it takes Months for debates nor amendments thats how the process is supposed to work not cut off debate or negotiations off if it doesn’t suit your agenda.
I also hate that all members are not present on the floor for debates where they may hear a valid point.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 4:38pmThis article discusses the amount of people that have dropped out of the labor force. Could some one please explain how the goverment knows if some one is or isn’t trying to find a job? I think this is just more smoke and mirrors like the old created or saved job stat. It is impossiable to prove.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 4:53pmlook the only reason the jobless claims go down is Because of the Millions of people who have ended their unemployment due to payments ran out.. its the only reason their numbers go up also as far as NEW JOBS get it??
Report Post »Netsurfer2
Posted on May 19, 2012 at 7:47pmTo answer your question, you have to look at how they calculate the unemployed! You see the unemployed are those that are unemployment receiving a unemployment check or have applied for unemployment recently! Calculations of the unemployed do not show those that have no more unemployment (ran out) and those that cannot get unemployment because they don’t qualify!
The real number is always higher!

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 4:35pmI keep hearing that raising the debt ceiling will enable us to pay for money already spent. Guess what? We need laws to make it illegal to spend the money before we have it; I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs. Stop spending so much!!!!!!!!!!! Stop spending so much!!!!!!!!!!! Stop spending so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Less “investment” Even if you have to self deport to another county, spend less money congress. If you feel that you can’t stop spending money, then resign and let someone better than you take your place. Obviously, the electorate isn’t smart enough to figure out that you need to be unemployed.
