The Obama normal vs. the Romney prosperity

By quinersdiner | August 30, 2012

The real goal of the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class is to create a generation of full employment and growing take home pay. The Romney vision for America is very much like that of Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp. Like those great conservative leaders, Romney believes that if you have a job and you have rising take home pay, you can take care of your family, work as a volunteer in your neighborhood and build a decentralized free society of enormous potential.

Clarifying Reaganomics vs. Obamanomics

By quinersdiner | August 28, 2012

By Tom Quiner Team Obama will say anything to get elected. Campaign Manager, Stephanie Cutter, cut loose with another factually-impaired whopper recently. She said: “Over the past, you know, 27 months, we’ve created 4.5 million private sector jobs; that’s more jobs than in the Bush recovery, in the Reagan recovery…” You know, Stephanie, you’ve got your numbers wrong, just as our president did when he promised us all of those…

E pluribus unum

“Out of many, one.” This is one of America’s greatest values. This value separates us from so much of the world …

The unemployment number you don’t hear about

By quinersdiner | August 27, 2012

We know the unemployment rate remains high under the Obama economy. We know the unemployment rate is actually much higher due to folks who have just given up looking for a job in the Obama economy. We know the unemployment rate for black teenagers is astronomical in the Obama economy. What isn’t reported so much is how long American workers remain unemployed.
