And doing it badly.

“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.”

On the way out the door, Romer said the government needed to spend more and tax less.

She is so confused. This just isn’t like the recession that put her daddy out of work in he early 80′s. She’s so right . . . the country had Reagan to lead back then and not this sorry Marxist community organizer we are currently stuck with.

A trillion down Romer’s dry hole and her attitude seems to be “cry for me America.” No, we cry for the prosperity stolen from us.

The Dems caused the crisis with their policy goals of: everyone needs a house and wall street is OK as long as we get the donations. Since they can’t smell their own stink, they are clueless. Just think of where we would be if the stimulus was like Bite-me wanted, 2 trillion. We would be in front of Greece circling the drain. I still think they wanted this (and still do).

learrnig from your mistakes.
A sign of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
It’s a shame that none of the Keystone Kops aka the Administration will ever wrap their arms around either of these concepts. We can only hope that the incoming majority party can figure these two very basic concepts out prior to November.

“Philosophically they will neither cut taxes nor spending nor roll back business killing regulations. Politically they will not be able to convince the Democrat caucus in the House and Senate to fund a new round of stimulus spending. So as the world’s largest economy circles the bowl enroute to subsidizing a green job somewhere, Obama’s chief economic adviser shrugs her shoulders and essentially quotes Otter of “Animal House” on the way out.”

The stimulus failed, so let’s spend more trillions on another one.

bailed-out!!!

I have used it many times, but of course, not here…lol

When President Palin delivers her first State of the Union address to a filibuster-proof GOP majority in 2013, the economy will soar beyond anything ever seen.

(I’m ducking, in case Art is watching)

Can we transition President Clunker’s Recovery Summer to the more aptly named Recovery Fall?

A total joke. People have to wonder if this is a nightmare after watching her. Or perhaps she was a practicing “legalize lot in CA” advocate. What freakin planet is she on? Seriously?

I keep asking myself, how’d we wake up today and fall so far in this country to even remotely consider this administration?

I waffle back and forth on blaming our “elected elite” and blaming apathetic brainwashed MTV America for sending all these thugs to DC and keeping them there.

Looks like the Obama regime has sent Milbank and all the rest of the little journolisters out to do a hatchet job on Romer.

Blame Bush. And, oh yeah, blame that Romer broad, too. No day is completely in the Oval Office without throwin’ somebody under the bus.

The narrative behind closed doors is this rudderless vessel called “ObamaEcono” is all Romer’s fault. That’s the excuse being given to every group visiting DC with a fundamental role in business or the economy. She just staged the final act for all to see.

Yeah. Right. We all got to where we are in the business world by being a bunch of clueless hacks. Maybe it will sell with the “guns and religion” crowd? Nah. Doubt it.

By the way buddy. Tell me that’s you in the photo keeping your Airborne patch current?

“She had no idea how bad the economic collapse would be. She still doesn’t understand exactly why it was so bad. The response to the collapse was inadequate. And she doesn’t have much of an idea about how to fix things.”

Nobody in their right mind should major in economics at Berkeley.

Who in their right mind would go to Berkeley for an education in the first place? Left mind, perhaps, but not right mind. And, isn’t a Berkeley education an oxymoron?

The Obama administration claims that the stimulus has created 3 million jobs. Even if we grant that, and cap the spending considered part of the stimulus at 780 billion, that works out to about $260,000 per job.

Now, remember that, according to Obama, taxes will only be raised by people making more than $250,000 per year, which means that he’s basically minted 3 million new “rich people”, whom he can now will tax at 100% (possibly more). He’ll then give that money to a DIFFERENT 3 million people. Repeat this 100 times, and you’ve made everyone in America “rich”!

You have to admit, the scope of his vision is breathtaking. And, if you’re a democrat (and spent way too much time in the 60′s experiementing with drugs), it actually makes sense.

she had a great reputation as a market economist. The policies she’s defending here go against everything she wrote and taught, so I assume she is being the good soldier for the Administration, but all this socialism could not have originated with her.

If anything, they are blaming her for restraining them from a total takeover while they still had full control of Congress.

Of course she doesn’t understand. She is operating under an economic model that represents total failure. She doesn’t understand it because she doesn’t understand what makes this country run at it’s basic levels.

Certainly she doesn’t understand what has made this the great country that it was pre-2009. That idiot Summers hasn’t helped a bit either. He is to a large extent responsible for the economic disaster that we are experiencing, both from his recommendations to Obama, and from his forcing through the legislative changes in 2000 that freed up certain people (and only certain people) to greatly enrich themselves at the economy’s expense.

Drudge had something headlined about Treasury rushing to, now, do something about jobs. Usually seeing is believing, usually, but this??
Did Romer at least take credit for all of those gadzillions of jobs saved? And are media intellects beginning to squirm?

Clearly Romer does not believe in what she has pushed and worse realizes she is wrong and does not have the fortitude to make her ideas work.
Of course that would doing the same over and over again and expecting different results.
