I guess this means the stimulus failed?

Geithner: Jobless Rate to Stay ‘Unacceptably High’ for a Long Time

The secretary agreed that the national jobless rate — now at 9.7 percent — is “still terribly high and is going to stay unacceptably high for a very long time” because of the damage caused by the recession.

“Just because this was the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression,” Geithner said, “a huge amount of damage was done to businesses and families across the country … and it’s going to take us a long time to heal that damage. “

So pushes through unread a nearly trillion dollar stimulus bill that was said loaded with shovel ready jobs, remember that? Then when the stimulus failed they passed another stimulus bill this time called a “Job’s Bill” that has failed to create jobs and Turbo Tax Tim says unemployment will remain high? Isn’t it always high when the Democrats are in control?

You know we owe China a little over $800 billion and we could have taken that Stimulus money and wiped out our debt to China and dropped some big ass tariffs on them and create some jobs here – just an idea.

More than 11 million people now are drawing unemployment insurance benefits, and the overall jobless rate of 9.7 percent understates the true level of economic misery because many people who give up looking for work are no longer in the official count of the unemployed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday will release a report on conditions in the labor markets in March.

Well actually if you count those that have given up or their unemployment has expired it’s closer to 20 million people and 18% unemployed.

Nice going Barry – Thanks Turbo Tim and the only thing to improve the employment situation in this country will be to get rid of the Democrats and Obama.

While the Fed’s say unemployment is 9.7 most calculate it at 10.4 not counting those that have threw in the towel.

Unemployment rate 10.4%

‘Read my lips 95% of you will we not get a tax increase… yet!’ the Obama edition.

estate-taxRemember Obama while out on the campaign trail (or is he still on it) said that if you make under $250,000.00 or was it $200,000.00 could have been $150,000.00 might have been less several numbers where said, but Obama said the 95% of Americans will not see ANY of your taxes go up… NOT ANY… NONE… NADA… ZILCH… ZERO. In fact Obama said that 95% of American (and probably illegals too) would see tax cuts. Well that’s seems to be “just words, just speeches” as if you are a smoker (you know those Satan spawn people) you’re taxes under Obama went up regardless of income, no it seems the head Spendocrat is going back on his word again … surprise, surprise that it might be necessary to TAX THE MIDDLE CLASS o pauy for health care… I seem to recall Obama saying that any spending he purposed would be covered and paid for by offsets and cuts to the budget, which clearly hasn’t been the case.

Enter the way-back machine for a direct Obama quote…

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

I do believe that was a pants on fire lie, but let’s not stop at one…

I will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.

OH SNAP! Another whopper from the Fibber and Thief. No one has seen a tax cut and if you believe that crap back earlier this year was a tax cut? Think again…
$13.00 a week
Obama’s Phony Tax Cuts

and another one…

You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.

Really? Smokers saw a $0.62 per pack tax hike, that’s six dimes and two pennies. So I guess if you smoke and make less than $250,000.00 you can write all you’re cigarette taxes off or get a tax refund.

Now the loony left will say he was talking about income taxes… that’s not what the man said, he said “You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.” that’s ANY OF YOUR TAXES… ANY as in all of your taxes, nothing will be raised, nothing not one single dime. So Obama lied… again, prove me wrong.

But on to the news at hand…

Obama Officials Don’t Dismiss Possibility of New Taxes

Geithner Won’t Rule Out New Taxes for Middle Class
2 Obama officials: No guarantee taxes won’t go up

President Obama may have to break his campaign pledge and raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for public health care and the growing deficit, an eventuality that administration officials touched lightly on Sunday as they promoted an economy emerging from recession.

Ok we already know Obama is a liar and nothing the TOTUS tells him to say can be trusted regarding taxes. Let’s be real he’s a liberal and they’ve never met a tax they didn’t raise.

Asked point blank whether it was right to suggest it is a matter of when, not if, taxes will be raised, Geithner responded, “It is absolutely right.”

There you have it Obama lied and the economy died.

Administration officials say they hope to see positive economic growth before the end of the year, and credit the $787 billion Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in February with preventing recession from going into depression.

Please! Keep singing that song a long with the “blame Bush” tune and you might just believe it… to bad most of the folks out here in the real world aren’t buying. The stimulus FAILED we have a nearly 10% unemployment rate nation wide which is 2% higher than Obama said it would go so that’s a 20% error in projection. But you can bet the the Obama-bots will sing the “recovery” song… be honest with yourself loony libs… do you REALLY see any recovery?

“They don’t take the productivity in having a healthy, educated workforce. And they don’t consider that America is the only industrialized country that doesn’t have a national health plan,” Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. said.

Yea Charlie and we’re the only industrialize nation that doesn’t have a 70%-90% tax rate… YET.

So dig deep kids… Obama is coming after your money, that is what you have left of it if any.

Turbo Tax Tim on the hunt for Tax Cheats

steve_martin_geithner2Remember when Turbo Tax Tim did Steve Martins comedy bit? Well the comedy just keeps coming, now Turbo Tim is going to hunt down tax cheats. You’ve got to be kidding me! Check out Michelle Malkin’s post on this.

From the APObama …

President Barack Obama’s Treasury secretary says the administration will unveil a series of rules and measures in the coming months to limit the ability of international companies to avoid U.S. taxes.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday that Obama will propose legislation to limit U.S. companies’ ability to shelter foreign earnings from taxation in the U.S. He also said the administration will try to limit wealthy Americans’ ability to use tax havens to avoid taxation.

He did not immediately provide details.

I swear this is got to be a joke, I can’t wait until he tries to nail someone. I’d ask for a jury trail and call him as a witness.

More Geithner stuff here.

Tax cheat in charge of I.R.S. confirms government corruption.

Timothy Geithner the $34,000.00 tax cheat that doesn’t know how to use Turbo Tax, is sworn in as head of the Treasury ( I.R.S.) So I have a plan I’m not going to pay taxes and when the I.R.S. comes after my ass, and they will I’m going to request a jury trail and I’m going to call Geithner as a witness when I blame my tax problems on my CPA. I mean if you’re a tax wizard and can’t even master Turbo Tax why on earth would my CPA have clue to what he is doing. Clearly it won’t be my fault even if it is.

I’m so disgusted right now with the direction this country is going in it’s sickening. Phony people elected to the White House in a media circle jerk frenzy, racist radical first lady (and I use the term loosely), law school cheats as the VP, tax cheats in charge of the I.R.S., corrupt scum bags as the Secretary of State, a dirty dealing Attorney General, a partisan thug chief of staff and the list goes on and on of dirty corrupt people that Obama has surround himself with and you liberals bow to this dirty dog because you are nothing more than a lemming

These band of bandits are going to make such a mess of this country I’m not sure there will be any hope for it and lemming set around in awe of the messiah … please stop thinking of him as the first black president and it’s all wonderful, think of him as man that is going to screw up this country. We can only hope he serves one term and we can fix the mess he is making. I was going to try and hope he did a good job but everything I’ve seen so far … I can’t help but think we are seeing the beginning of the end if the mind set of this country doesn’t change.

Timothy Geithner does Steve Martin

Timothy Geithner has got to be a fan of Steve Martin, Geithner sets before Senate Finance Committee trying to convince them that his failure to pay taxes for 4 years is a simple mistake that he was careless in failing to pay $34,000 in Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Now let me ask you, if you “forgot” to pay your taxes would Senators, Representatives and even a newly elected President come to your defense? Why no, no they wouldn’t, you’d be under the jail, under the bus and under investigation. Your assets seized and hopefully at some point before your untimely death you’d see the light of day. This is a further example of us and them and that we no long have a government by the people for the people, that we have a government for the few by the few and those few are corrupt, dirty, sneaky, lying cheats.

So where does the Steve Martin/Timothy Geithner connection come from? Well a long time ago in 1978 Steve Martin said on the “Comedies is not Pretty” album …

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. “Steve.. how can I …. be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?” Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!” How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I forgot”? Let’s say you’re on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, “I forgot armed robbery was illegal.” Let’s suppose he says back to you, “You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, ‘I forgot’?” Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!

So excuse Geithner, he forgot that not paying taxes was illegal he like many that occupy the halls, houses and offices of Washington D.C. are nothing more than a joke.
