This election, are you better or worse off than you were before President Obama took office?
Obama’s claim, “If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan. Period,” (PolitiFact’s 2013 “lie of the year,”) delivered on Obama’s campaign promise of “change you can believe in.” Yet, in 2010 Obama knew that nearly 93 million Americans would lose their existing health insurance plans. That’s nearly one third of Americans.
Today, one quarter of Obama’s America has been out of work for over one year. The actual 2014 long-term unemployment is 25 percent (September 2014 U-3 and U-6 rates); exactly the same as it was in 1933 during the Great Depression.
Voters have an immediate opportunity to fire every incumbent and every politician who voted in favor of Obama’s disastrous policies, and has contributed to the lowest approval rating Congress has ever had of 7 percent.
Americans must demand constitutional amendments and ballot initiatives in their states, mandating term limits, a balanced budget, and fiscal transparency.
Otherwise, Mark Twain might be proved right: Americans are “a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at [working]” and got swept up by sensationalism promoted by the media “on their way to the poorhouse.”
