Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
Do you remember Gomer Pyle and his classic phrase? Do you remember Gomer Pyle? He was a side character in the original And Griffith Show who worked in the gas station, was a true country rube and eventually enlisted in the Marine Corps and starred in his own self-titled show.
Once again the government's economists, really?, and the journalists supporting this administration are completely surprised by the GDP and monthly employment figures. The term they always seem to use is "unexpected".
Every month these prognosticators doing the PR work for the arrogant idiot in the White House expect the economy to improve. And every month these same people are surprised at the unexpected increase in job losses or the unexpected decreases in new jobs created. Every month they have the same reaction. Unexpected.
What is one definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Hence the surprising and unexpected results of the same failed predictions of an improving economy. Sounds kind of insane to me.
The economy is not going to improve as long as this man is in the White House. He has brought more uncertainty to his position than any other president. No business in their right mind is going to commit to an expansion of their business until there is some certainty on the many governmental policies, rules, taxes and regulations that this administration continues to impose upon them.
Business likes consistency. In fact, everyone likes consistency. The only consistency in this administration's rule is inconsistency. You can count on team Obama to baffle us with another government boondoggle nearly every single day. He has a scattershot approach to governing, He has all his czars and bureaucrats performing their attacks on business and society in every area of the government. Too much for anyone to keep up with, he keeps blasting away at our freedoms constantly trying to gain control over every single aspect of American life. Throw enough shit and some of it will stick.
This is not the way to run a country and businesses are having none of it. They are simply trying to survive until there is new blood in the White House. If and when that does happen, I look for the American economy to soar like gangbusters. If this arrogant idiot is granted another four years to drive us down, all bets are off. It's the end of the world as we know it.
And I feel fine.
