Obama, hasn’t a clue on how to fix the economy. Instead, without ideas, he copied Teddy Roosevelt’s 100-year-old speech in Osawatomie. With Barack Obama, it’s always yesterday’s answers to today’s problems…and this is the man they told us was a genius. The president maintains that the rich get richer by making everyone poorer. Ah…bitterness and envy, the illegitimate stepchildren of hope and change.

The fix, of course, is higher taxes, but when the taxes to pay for ObamaCare go into effect in 2013 and the Bush tax cuts expire, everyone’s taxes will increase — not just the highest income brackets. People in the top 1%, while earning 17% of the nation’s income, already pay almost 40% of all taxes and are scheduled for an almost 20% rise even before the president’s proposed increases.

Job creators across the nation are experiencing a different reality. They see the real impact of Washington red tape — how it increases uncertainty, stifles growth and prevents job creation. From our newest entrepreneurs to titans of industry like Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Steve Jobs, America’s job creators have made it clear that the president’s policies are making it harder and more expensive to hire workers.

Layoffs and a brief company shutdown is what employees face at Welspun Tubular Company, which makes steel pipes for the oil industry.

Company leaders say miles of pipe are on the property and that has caused five dozen employees to lose their jobs. The pipes would be part of the Keystone oil pipeline, which is a project running oil from Canada to Texas.

But plans are delayed on the federal level. Now leaders say the local job market is affected.

“We had to make a staffing reduction with some of the temporary employees. Due to the KXL pipeline not being shipped out. We have 500 miles of pipe just sitting in the yard, expected to be shipped out, that some of the employees were working on,” said President Dave Delie.

I already told you about one ridiculous Debbie Wasserman Shultz quote today: “We have to make sure that this is being paid for by folks who are not paying their fair share now.”  But she had some other goodies in that same interview with Martha MacCallum.  Here’s one example, in a discussion about pension reform.  Debbie Wasserman Shultz states:

 “To suggest that state pension plans for government employees are what’s dragging down these local and state governments is really unfair.”

The unfair part is that Debbie Wasserman Shultz is the spokeswoman for a party that just presented a jobs plan … meanwhile, she seems completely clueless as to what is actually happening in the real world.  It didn’t take but a 0.03 second Google search to find that state pension funds face deficits of more than $1 trillion, according to the Pew Center on the States. Let’s take a look at just a few examples of how our states are currently fairing, many of which happen to be our largest economies …

Reforming California’s Unsustainable Pension System

Illinois Pension Crisis Eludes Easy Solutions

New Jersey’s $53M Pension Problem

Rhode Island considers radical moves as pensions put state on brink

Sadly, this was not the only instance in which Debbie Wasserman Shultz showed herself to be a complete fool.  Just like last week, she continues to spout out this line, which most uneducated voters wouldn’t think twice about:

“The mantra that the Recovery Act didn’t work is such boloney … You can repeat it over and over, but to say that the recovery act didn’t work is simply false.”

It still astounds me that with a 9.1% unemployment rate (after being promised less than 8%) and 2.5 fewer Americans working (after being promised 3.5 million jobs), that this woman can sit there and actually say that the stimulus bill worked.  Either she is completely braindead or an abject liar.  In fact, in her spiel above, she actually says that Obama has enjoyed 18 months of private sector job growth … completely failing to mention anything about the fact that zero jobs were created in August.  Zip.  Not one mention of that little fact.  Unbelievable.

The vast majority of Americans, and probably 90% of people who are now unemployed don’t realize this, but the people who produce 80% of all new jobs in our economy are small businessmen who report their income on their individual incomes.

A small businessman in a position to hire someone will almost certainly have at least $200,000 worth of income to report — and their taxes on that income will increase substantially under Obama’s plan.

That’s the way to encourage new hiring, right?

Now it’s not finished yet and we are still working on it but it’s starting to take some shape. If you get the time and drop by and click the like button the page will let you see some really good content, that we will be adding to daily.

But after a speech on jobs, who else should we really be asking other than the people who would be creating the jobs?  Well if this headline in the New York Times doesn’t sum it up, I’m not sure what will: “Employers Say Jobs Plan Won’t Lead to Hiring Spur.”  First of all, yes you read that correctly .. the New York Times published that article.  Within the article it goes on to explain that employers believe Obama’s tax credits and payroll deductions are fine, but not enough to persuade them to create more jobs.  Ouch.  Wasn’t that the whole point of PrezBo’s lecture?  So let’s take a look at how a few jobs creators view Obama’s proposals, shall we?

Roger Tung, the chief executive of Concert Pharmaceuticals, said the company, a privately held biotechnology firm with 45 employees, would save $150,000 a year from the proposed corporate payroll tax deductions.

But that is still not enough to cover the cost of hiring even one additional employee at the Lexington, Mass., company, Mr. Tung said, once benefits and other expenses besides salary are included. He can hire, he said, only when investors become confident again and the company can raise more money.

Or how about this one …

To the extent these measures could be used, many employers said they would most likely support people whom companies were planning to hire anyway.

Chesapeake Energy, one of the biggest explorers of oil and gas in shale fields across the country, for example, said it had 800 positions open, and had already received tax credits for hiring the long-term unemployed.

But Michael Kehs, vice president for strategic affairs and public relations, said in an e-mail that the credit “does not drive our hiring.”

So there are just two examples of how Obama’s ideas are off the mark.  He doesn’t understand what drives hiring.  In the first example, it shows how a tax credit is fine, but doesn’t even begin to cover the true cost of hiring an employee.  In the other example, companies that were going to hire will still hire, but not because of tax credits.  You can get a $2,000 tax credit for buying a new car … but you still aren’t going to buy the car unless (a) you need it for transportation, and; (b) you can still afford the monthly payments and maintenance costs after the tax credit makes its way to your bottom line.  Simple economic concepts Obama just doesn’t understand.  Obama couldn’t sustain a lemonade stand on a 95 degree day.  He simply does not understand what drive companies to create jobs.  But these job creators in this article do.  So what do they believe they need in order to spur job creation:

• An increase in consumer confidence
• An increase in demand for their products
• Stock market stabilization (confidence for investors)
• Government getting out of the way (regulations)

I’ve said this for a while now.  The focus should be on growing the size of our economic pie.  Only then will our economy begin to improve and companies will begin to hire.  Temporary programs and more government spending aren’t going to do this.  Barack Obama is not interested in growing the size of our economic pie.  If he was, he would understand that government spending is only killing our private sector’s ability to grow because every penny of government spending had to come from somewhere … the private sector!  But in the world according to Obama, he knows how to better spend your money.  For example, he would rather spend it on …

Seems as if every time I turn around there is a new online marketing guru, wanting to sell me the next magic bullet.

My problem is that there is not a week that goes by that I don’t get an email from an online marketing Guru, needing a website. You know the kind…“How to Make a Million Bucks, With No Work, Secret Bullet” website. They all have two things in common.

1. They just stumbled across the secret of how to make money online.

2. “None of Them Have Any Money”

Having dealt with 100’s of online marketing gurus over the years I’ve yet to meet one that had enough money to purchase a website at the quoted price. You see the idea is to make money off you buying their crap that didn’t work for them. Or that they were unable to make work.

I know what you’re thinking…that might be true for the little guys but not the big guys like Frank Kern.

Watch this video for the truth about Mr. Frank Kern.

Now…here’s my problem with these online marketing gurus.

As they promote and sell crap into the market that’s all bark and no bite it makes it more difficult for honest online marketing guys and gals to convince clients that they aren’t full of the same crap as the online marketing guru crowd. These guys make millions taking advantage of honest hard-working people.

And they give everyone in the online marketing industry a bad name. Not to mention the fact that they’re stealing money. And now we have Frank Kern saying he’s getting out of the online marketing industry and is going to start doing SEO. Of course he’s finding his clients off-line because according to him that’s where the real money is.

How in the heck can someone sell a service to others that they can’t make work for themselves?

And REALLY, the real money is in offline marketing, cause I’ve got clients that do over $180,00.00 per month with their websites.

So…now we have Frank Kern, who has been selling get rich quick products online for years teaching people how to make money online, only to tell us that the real money is in off-line marketing.

WHAT???

Shouldn’t he refund all the people’s money he stole with crap products over the years?

NOTE to FRANK KERN:

Just because you can’t make money online doesn’t mean that others aren’t. And how can you feel good about yourself selling a product to hard working business owners that you can’t make work for yourself?

You and your buddies line up, group together and promote one another’s products regardless of how good it is or isn’t. And you work together to try and control the price in the market. Don’t believe me, another video of Frank teaching how to screw your customers.

Anyway … our gurus do not believe that it is their job to learn how to make money online. Their job is to misrepresent themselves as gurus and try and blow enough smoke up our asses to make us believe the crap they are selling. They believe they are smarter than we are and they have a right to separate us from our hard earned cash.

It is no coincidence that those who imagine themselves so much wiser and smarter than the rest of us should be at the forefront of those who seek to erode the internet. How can our gurus impose their superior wisdom and virtue on us, without all the other wannabe gurus trying to overwhelm us with the same crap?
I’ve personally had enough and plan to use this blog to expose all the crap being sold.

And first on my list is http://autotrafficavalanche.com/.

The best part of this whole program is the sales page, the rest is pure crap. Which makes the sales page totally misleading, there is nothing about this program that generates traffic. It’s a php script that allows you to send Facebook admins to one site and those that click on your ad to a different site.
Of course once Facebook figures out what’s going on, your account will be banned.

These guys brag about being able to make $6.00 per day, what the heck, I can make that washing dogs.
The software to make the method work has to be bought in addition to the book that tells you how great the software is.
