“I thought Obama was going to cry,” says Bill Clinton

7 comments

Want to guess who Bill Clinton is voting for? Read this:

‘Governor Romney’s argument is, we’re not fixed, so fire him and put me in,’ said Clinton. ‘It is true we’re not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, I had so much hope four years ago and I don’t now, I thought he was going to cry. Because he knows that it’s not fixed.’

Not only is it [ie the economy] not “fixed”, it’s getting worse.

  3. How is it getting worse? Unemployment is trending down, stock markets are going up, housing starts and car sales are up, oil production is up, GDP is growing albeit not fast enough, deficit not going down fast enough but at least the direction is right, and corporate profits are sky-high. The only thing getting worse is debt, which is fucking awful.

    Go ahead, make your case that the economy is getting worse. I’ll wait.

    Paid for with borrowed money…

    Most of it on forced overheads we don’t want to buy.

    And we know the Trade Union Party wants to ‘invest’ our retirement funds on light rail in Canberra…

  6. I’m not sure about those inflation figures, Gab. The official CPI has been about 1.5% over the past four years in the US.

    Cost of living changes relative to income changes, on the other hand, well, maybe not so good …

  7. Any economy that operates by borrowing overseas and taxing producers of wealth to subsidise parasites and leeches is a bad economy. one that operates like this and which is increasing the intensity of borrowing taxing and leeching is a bad economy growing worse.
    if it is not getting worse, why do I not see Fairfax journalists and ex-public servants cutting off limbs to attract more alms when they beg at train stations.
    Until I see the platforms thronging with one-kidneyed emaciated self-mutilating lefties croaking thanks for discarded chip packets, until then, the economy is getting worse
