"President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren’t hiring are not because of his policies, it’s because the economy is so automated. . . . “There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don’t go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate. So all these things have created changes. . . .”
I had to replace my computer keyboard when I hurled my morning java onto it. Our 9.1% unemployment rate is now tied to our ATM industry? Once again, the consequence of electing a mere, career Community Organizer who perpetuated the issue by selecting a badministration comprised of 8% who had any private sector business experience. Economic illiterate. Seriously, if this President had a second brain, it would die of loneliness.
Let's look at the many angles of absolute lunacy from the self-proclaimed and media endorsed "smartest president evah"!
The ATM came on line in 1960. Average unemployment from it's launch until President O'boxofrox took office was 5%. Since he took office, unemployment has almost doubled that so, of course, it has to be all those unemployed tellers. Who knew--ATM's were created by angels, delivered by storks, installed by goblins and repaired by martians-- no jobs there, right? The reality is the internet and technology revolution has created 2.6 jobs for every 1 lost.
My Lone Star state has led the nation with creating 38% of the nation's jobs since mid-2009, all of course due to a zero tolerance policy on ATM machines. Happy for the jobs, but boy it is a pain in the arse saddling up the horse, trotting down to the bank and securing Trigger to the hitching post. The reality in Texas-- it is us taxpayers who are Obama's ATM!
"Time is money", ever heard of that Scooter? Oh I so yearn for the days that I had to wait in line for 20 minutes to get a $20 bill from my friendly teller. I hanker for the mornings where I had my face smashed against the lobby doors awaiting their 9am opening hours. Oh the fun of spending a half-hour twisting through the airline counter rope-a-dope lugging 80 pounds luggage just to say my howdies to the ticket agent, where have you gone? On-line shopping apparently has killed off sales clerks, shame on you QVC robots. Barry weeps over the invention of the backhoe-- we lost 500 shovel diggers which was preceded by1,000 folks with spoons. Oh please President Mensa, launch me back to the Sixties.
So how does the CEO of the USA justify his solar power strategies? Just think of the number of jobs he just killed, all those folks that were hopping on treadmills to bring power into your home. How about his teleprompter-- how does he sleep at night burdened by the number of cue-card holders' lives he destroyed?
Credit though to Obama as at my age of 52 and looking to re-wire rather than retire, he has significantly helped narrow down my job focus. My finalists-- candle-maker or cobbler. I will have to check my Encyclopedia Brittanica to see what looks most promising.
To conclude, the Obama economic theory on employment is private businesses are too efficient and, as a result, destroys jobs. So, he opts to create a bloated, inefficient government to reduce unemployment. Brilliant, can't wait for the 2012 campaign slogan--"Vote Barack Flintstone--Taking You Back To Kerosene Lanterns, One Day At A Time".
We all know now why his college transcripts were sealed.
