Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first nine months in office Barack Obama has pursued the most aggressive government expansionist agenda since Franklin Roosevelt’s new deal was launched in 1933. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel summarized the Obama first-year game plan best: “An economic crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” So far, we have seen multi-trillion dollar bailouts in housing, banking, insurance, and auto industries, the stimulus plan, cap and trade, a $1.2 trillion health care bill, and of course, the $4 billion cash for clunkers program. None of this has worked. Now, six months after the stimulus progam, we sit at 9.4% unemployment. Two million more Americans are jobless. The debt has exploded like a cork from a bottle of champagne. We are now told that the Obama agenda will cost $9 trillion in debt as it plans to spend $42 trillion over the next decade. In this riveting broadside, Stephen Moore explains this rotten story of Washington arrogance and malfeasance, and reveals exactly why Obamanomics failed.

Download or read book Debacle written by Grover Glenn Norquist and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative critique of the Obama administration's economic policies and an examination of America's difficult economic future During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to reduce the deficit. But this huge increase in government spending and debt, and the resulting prospect of higher taxes, will make America a poorer country. Are Americans happier because the government has determined where this money should be spent? According to John Lott and Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, the answer is no, and in Debacle: Obama's War on Jobs and Growth and What We Can Do Now to Regain Our Future they explain why. Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered taxpayer money through poor investments, and damaged the housing market. The book explains why Obama's policies on spending, taxes, and regulation have all worked to harm the recovery, increase unemployment, and depress housing prices. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011 through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four, and John Lott and Grover Norquist make clear why the costs outweigh the benefits Explains why Keynesian economics is more a way of transferring wealth to political constituencies than a legitimate economic theory for understanding how the economy operates Posits that Obama's economic policies were more an opportunity "to do big things" than to solve the country's economic problems Arguing that the policies of the Obama administration have created widespread economic chaos, Debacle is a bleak look at American finance from Grover Norquist.

Download or read book Crash Landing written by Art Laffer and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular economists Art Laffer and Stephen Moore expertly analyze how Obama's policies have wrecked the economy, aggravating the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, and setting America on track for an epic and unavoidable crash. Laffer and Moore tell the stories you haven't heard from the mainstream media about how Obama's policies have utterly sabotaged the American economy, and in their trademark approachable and readable style describe the steps Americaneeds to take to get back on track.In Crash Landing, Laffer and Moore constrast Obamanomics with Reganomics, demonstrating how the Reagan Recovery worked-and took the opposite approach to virtually every policy Obama has implemented in his first term and plans to continue in his second. Laffer and Moore present complex economic data in a readable, accessible manner, so all readers can see how damaging Obama's policies have been to the American economy. Laffer and Moore deliver indisputable evidence that: - Obama is ushering in inflation that rivals 1970s levels - The Obama Administration and its allies have calculatedly deceived voters about the role of tax cuts and deregulation in the recession - The EPA's global warming crusade is little more than another costly tax - Obamacare will raise health costs, hitting Americans' wallets when they're already down for the count - The "welfare cliff" actually discourages people from finding work because taxes mean they'll make less than they could on welfare when unemployedLaffer and Moore delve deeper into these issues by dissecting three "states of despair" as small-scale examples of what's coming for the rest of America: the debt-plagued and financially strapped New York, California, and Illinois. Crash Landing is more than a diagnosis, however-it's a prescription for how to get America back on the path to prosperity. In the final chapters Laffer and Moore describe in precise detail the changes we must make to reinvigorate our economy and keep it healthy.
Download or read book A Crisis Wasted written by Reed Hundt and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The blow by blow story of a president and his team wasting the ‘opportunity’ of the Great Recession to change the fundamentals of the economy.” —Steven Brill, New York Times–bestselling author This book is the compelling story of President Obama’s domestic policy decisions made between September 2008 and his inauguration on January 20, 2009. Barack Obama determined the fate of his presidency before he took office. His momentous decisions led to Donald Trump, for Obama the worst person imaginable, taking his place eight years later. This book describes these decisions and discusses how the results could have been different. Based on dozens of interviews with actors in the Obama transition, as well as the author’s personal observations, this book provides unique commentary of those defining decisions of winter 2008–2009. A decade later, the ramifications of the Great Recession and the role of government in addressing the crisis animate the ideological battle between progressivism and neoliberalism in the Democratic Party and the radical direction of the Republican Party. As many seek the presidency in the November 2020 election, all candidates and of course the eventual winner will face decisions that may be as critical and difficult as those confronted by Barack Obama. This book aims to provide the guidance of history. “A powerfully lucid, compelling and surprising achievement . . . makes a subtle but irresistible argument that, given the conservative undertow of American politics, liberals and progressives who are serious about change can’t just wing it but must prepare detailed economic policy analyses and prescriptions long in advance of taking power.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin, Representative from Maryland’s 8th District
Download or read book Obamanomics written by John R Talbott and published by . This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author John R. Talbott, who predicted the current housing and mortgage crisis, pictures here a Barack Obama presidency based on justice and cooperation-principles that have not held sway in Washington, DC, for quite some time. Talbott's powerful grasp of finance allows him to connect the issue of financial inequality in America with our need as a people to embrace change. Obama has shown he knows that divisions among races, religions, and political views have prevented Americans from coming together to solve the most important problems of our age. Obamanomics, infused with Obama's speeches, campaign policy statements, and other writings, describes a government acting according to democratic principles to enact lobbying reform, get our economy moving again, fix our healthcare system, slow global warming, prevent unnecessary wars, improve education, address the aging of our population, find alternative energy sources, and bring about housing, mortgage, and banking reform.

Obama's Economy will be vital reading for students of US politics and economics, as well as all those looking for a way out of the current crisis of capitalism.
Download or read book Obamanomics written by Minute Help Guides and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Arizona Senator John McCain and Illinois Senator Barack Obama hit the campaign trail in 2008 in quest of the Oval Office, soon to be vacated by George W. Bush, the American economy was in crisis. The high times of the early 2000s were gone, erased by the effects of the housing market crash. The National Bureau of Economic Research reported that the American economy entered a recession, or an overall decline in economic activity, in December 2007, ensuring that the economy would surpass the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as the primary issue on the minds of most voters. At the heels of the 2012 Presidential election, the economy is once again one of the biggest issues on the campaign trail. The question continues to loom: did Obama handle the economy correctly and, if so, why is it still not fixed? This book looks at the economy in a way that is non-partisan and free of any bias. It tells you the facts in an easy to read way and let's you form your own conclusions. If you want to know what's really up with the economy, but don't want something that reads like propaganda for a political party, then read this book!
Download or read book The President as Economist written by Richard J. Carroll and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides evaluations of American presidents over the course of 66 years of U.S. economic history, using quantitative data to provide credible, defensible answers to controversial questions like "Whose economic policies were more effective, Ronald Reagan's or Bill Clinton's?" The President as Economist: Scoring Economic Performance from Harry Truman to Barack Obama provides eye-opening insights about matters of critical importance for the future of the United States. Author Richard J. Carroll tackles a topic that he has researched and been focused on for more than 20 years, providing impartial assessments and rankings of each presidential administration according to numerous key performance indicators—quantitative data, not subjective opinions. The final chapter combines all of the data to present a numeric score (Presidential Performance Index-PPI) for each administration that allows an overall ranking of the 11 presidents. The analysis covers 66 years of U.S. economic history, ranging from 1946 through 2011. The earlier administrations of Harry S. Truman through Jimmy Carter set the context against which more recent presidencies are judged. This title will be an invaluable resource for everyone from general readers to students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, as well as journalists, lobbyists, and anyone directly or indirectly involved in the political process.
