Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan reacted to the dismal August jobs report this morning.
“This is not even close to what a recovery looks like.”

Paul Ryan:

“[T]his is not even close to what a recovery looks like… This is not what President Obama promised. I would argue this is the result of failed leadership in Washington, bad fiscal policy coming from the administration and that is why we have this very tepid report. For every net one job created, four people — nearly four people left the workforce.”

    But where do they go, when they leave the workforce?

    And that jobs report is only one aspect of the failure of this administration. The Wall Street Journal has a fair description of the current disarray in the Democratic party at the national level.

    Strassel: The Party that Obama Un-Built

    I would assign Nancy Pelosi greater responsibility for this mess.

    I wouldn’t write the Democrats off just yet, either. What’s going to happen is that there’s going to be massive turnover in the party over the next couple of election cycles, much like there has been in the Republican party after it got “thumped” under George Bush. They’ll look for some smarter, more successful people, and maybe even find a few that can do some math.

    At least, I hope so.

    But in the meantime, I am looking forward to the election of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, along with Senators and Congressmen enough to take the Senate and keep the House. I am relieved to see that the Republican convention exhibited a party that has some positive ideas about how to handle our current problems, a few success stories that can be replicated among the states, and some very nice depth-of-field in those governorships.

    I remain a Liberal, but I will support a competent, Republican administration over an incompetent, scandal-ridden Democratic administration hell-bent on pursuing failed policies.

    Paying more,getting less.Does anyone feel we’re in a recovery?It’s a trust issue. I don’t trust this President or this congress to spend our money. Tax and Spend is great for the spenders, not so great for anyone else.

    Obama is whining that four years isn’t enough for the economy to recover, but this is a lie. He is actually whining that he hasn’t had enough time to destroy the U.S. economy….yet. If the U.S. economy doesn’t turn around, America will be finished. Just like the British Empire has fallen, so will America; both have turned their backs on God, and this is the consequences of our unrepentance.

    This is a FAILURE of Leadership. . .the result of failed policies. . .elections HAVE Consequences

    Biden said Don’t ever BET against the American People. .EVER. . .

    But didn’t Obama and Dems ram Obamacare through in dark of night with Bribes and kickbacks AGAINST the WILL OF THE PEOPLE? Sounds like Betting Against the American people.

    And What about New House in 2010. .the landslide. . . isn’t the House the House of the American People. . yet Obama (and Reid) stalls every bill from House. . isn’t that betting against American people?

    [Before he died, Apple CEO Steve Jobs reportedly told President Obama
    to adopt more business-friendly policies, because "regulations and

    States. If he didn't change course, Jobs warned, "You're headed for

    [As Katrina reports, Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in 1999 to manage the
    Winter Olympics, two years before GST Steel declared bankruptcy. But
    that hasn’t stopped President Obama from blaming him for the company’s
    2001 collapse. In a new Obama campaign video, ex-steel workers criticize
    Romney for being “out of touch” with the “average working person.” Left
    unmentioned (and blameless) is Jonathan Lavine.

    Lavine, according to the Los Angeles Times, is a top Obama bundler and
    a managing director at Bain Capital. Lavine, who has raised over $100,000
    for the president, was at the firm when GST Steel declared bankruptcy.
    So according to the Obama team’s logic, Romney, who had left Bain, is
    responsible for GST Steel’s demise, but Lavine, who was there, is not?
    Expect to hear more about this connection.]

    IBD- Ryan’s Plan Will Fix Medicare- Not Destroy It 4/20/11

    [In his speech to the nation on Wednesday, President Obama joined the
    chorus of critics howling that Rep. Paul Ryan’s federal budget proposal is
    cruel to seniors and will decimate Medicare as we’ve known it.

    The data show the opposite. Seniors and baby boomers will be
    better off under the Ryan proposal than under the Obama health
    law.

    The biggest winners are Americans under 55. They need to pay
    attention as Congress debates the budget. It is not about next
    year.

    It’s about Medicare a decade from now, when they will need it.

    The Obama health plan reduces future funding for Medicare by $575 billion
    over the next 10 years and spends it on other programs, including a vast
    expansion of Medicaid.

    It’s robbing grandma and grandpa.

    The Ryan program stops the raid on Medicare. In the year 2019, according
    to Medicare’s own actuaries, Medicare will spend $14,731 per senior,under
    the Obama health law, instead of $16,162 if the Obama health law had
    not been enacted.

    Such cuts might be justifiable if the savings extended the financial
    life of Medicare. President Obama and Health and Human Services
    Secretary Kathleen Sebelius frequently make that false claim.

    Even Medicare’s mailings to seniors repeat the lie that the
    spending reductions will make Medicare more financially secure.

    The truth is, Medicare is being bled dry, not saved.]

    Paul Ryan in his VP Acceptance Speech at the GOP convention in Tampa:

    None of us have to settle for the best this administration offers— a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government-planned life, a country where everything is free but us.

    Listen to the way we’re spoken to already, as if everyone is stuck in some class or station in life, victims of circumstances beyond our control, with government there to help us cope with our fate.

    It’s the exact opposite of everything I learned growing up in Wisconsin, or at college in Ohio. When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself. That’s what we do in this country. That’s the American Dream. That’s freedom, and I’ll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.

    What a real recovery should look like ?- Sept 1983, 2 1/2 years into Reagan’s first term – jobs created 1.3 MILLION ! That is what happens with astute leadership vs 96.000 jobs? This is to be expected from an uneducated, incompetent socialist who never signed the front of a paycheck nor even ran a lemonade stand.

    Flintstone F. commented:

    His new campaign slogan poking fun at republicans for proposing tax cuts as a fix for everything shows another schizophrenic trait of his campaign (it’s also fun to listen for the cricket chirp when he does it).

    They’ve been patting themselves on the back for cutting taxes for small business allowing for new opportunities and more jobs, while at the same time they demagogue tax cuts as a tactic by republicans to benefit the evil rich corporate cronies.

    In his speech he mentioned once again “not raising taxes on those making 250 thousand or less.” (Hey, I know that tune).

    Cutting taxes and repealing Obamacare (massive tax) will turn this economy around on a dime. Could you imagine in conjunction with that, renewed relations with Canada for a pipeline, government getting off the backs of Coal producers and oil getting back to expanding production? On a dime. The moment these decisions are made the numbers start going the other way.
