The President had a piece in the Herald today. He continues his practice of lying, as if no one will bother to fact check him.
He claims; "our businesses have created 7.3 million new jobs over the last 41 months" Yet according to his own BLS, the accurate number is 5.6M in 41 months, STILL negative job growth.
He claimed; "deficits are falling at the fastest rate in 60 years.", Evidently he forgot about 2002-2007, when the deficit fell by 33% per year. Down to only $160B or 1.15% of GDP. Further he ignores that the only reason deficits are falling is due to the very fiscal restraints he whines about and demonizes Republicans for daily, the 2011 debt ceiling spending caps, and sequester.
He claims; "Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years", While his own HHS is projecting the increase in costs for 2014 to be 6.8% after increasing 7.5% this years, and co pays DOUBLING from 2009-2012. Did he forget the 2000's when costs rose by 4.4%/yr.?
He claims; Working to reverse this trend (people working harder just to get by)is my highest priority", SERIOUSLY? What legislation has he proposed, or presented to ameliorate this? Where was he the last 4 years on this?
His proposed solution? After dumping more than $300B borrowed taxpayer dollars into green energy, to use government stimulus to promote wind, solar, green energy.
It is time to acknowledge that we know this president is lying simply because his lips are moving.
