Voices Without A Vote: The True Victims in President Obama's "War on Children" (Video)

While we are all negatively affected by President Obama's last 4 yrs of policies that have failed this country, the true victims in President Obama's "War on Children" have a voice but no vote.

Will you protect the future of our country for them?

President Obama's "United States of Indentured Servants"


Consistent with President Obama's campaign promise to "fundamentally transform the United States", a new CBO report shows at our current pace we will become the "United States of Indentured Servants" by 2037....

From the Weekly Standard -- (Emphasis Added)
A new chart produced by the Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee shows that, according to Congressional Budget Office data released yesterday, debt per American is "on track to triple in a generation":


CBO Data: U.S. Per Person Debt On Track To Triple In A Generation


Currently, as the chart shows, debt per American is at (or around) $50,000. Just four years ago, in 2008, the year President Obama was first elected, debt per person was at $35,000.


In 2037, if things stay relatively the same, debt per American will be at $147,000.

In that year, according to Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee, "the federal government will spend $2.7 trillion per year in interest payments alone, representing more than a quarter of our entire budget that year and greater than the total federal budget in 2003."


Per American family, on average, debt will stand at $382,000 in 2037, only 25 years from now. That figure constitutes an increase of $287,000 per family.


The CBO's numbers were released yesterday as part of its "long-term outlook." The non-partisan governmental organization warns, "waiting to address the long-term budgetary imbalance and allowing debt to mount in the meantime would be detrimental to future generations."

With President Obama and the Democrats known "War on Children" they do not view the growing debt a a detriment to future generations - they look at it as just another insurance policy of owning or controlling your children and/or grandchildren!

Obama's Economic Recovery = Extraordinary (Failure)


From RSC Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) --
The jobs numbers that came out on Friday brought grim news. Last month’s increase of 69,000 jobs is far behind the pace needed even to keep up with population growth. Yet President Obama recently claimed at a campaign fundraiser that our economic “recovery” has been “extraordinary.” Unfortunately, the facts show otherwise.

In the chart below, the red line traces the rate of job growth from Feb. 2010, when the total number of jobs in America hit bottom. Compare that record to the brown line, which shows the average rate of job growth from the bottom of the previous 10 recessions. Based on this data, 4.3 million more Americans would have jobs today if only our economy had recovered at an average rate. Our kids deserve better than this.




When it comes to growing our economy, we shouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than extraordinary. Getting there will require us to make the right choice between a weak economy built on government subsidies and a strong one built on hard work and earned success. The president’s ideas aren’t working. Let’s try something that will.

Obama's Failed Policies Hurting College Graduates the Most

The anti-business and anti-growth policies of the Obama Administration have continually been proven to be  a failed path for the current crisis our country faces.

And either by design or by President Obama's continued blundering, the future for college graduates entering the already depressed job market appears to be a life of being shackled by government backed student loans when contrasted against their predicted earnings.

While the average earnings of college educated individuals entering the workforce will leave them "Hoping for 'change' in their pocket." This November maybe their college educated smarts will shine through and they will "Hope for Change" in the White House!

From Economic Policy Institute --

During college graduation season, attention often turns toward the labor market prospects of the young men and women preparing to enter the workforce. We can get a sense of the earnings this new crop of graduates might expect by looking at the wages of young (age 21-24) college graduates. In 2011, young college graduates had an average hourly wage of $16.81 per hour, which translates into an annual income of roughly $35,000 for a full-time, full-year worker. Average hourly wages for young female graduates remain substantially less (13.9 percent) than those of young male graduates.
The wages of young college graduates have fared poorly during the Great Recession and its aftermath. Between 2007 and 2011, the wages of young college graduates dropped 4.6 percent (5.1 percent for men and 4.1 percent for women). As the figure shows, however, the wage growth of young graduates was weak even before the Great Recession began; they have fared poorly over the entire period of general wage stagnation that began during the business cycle of 2000–2007. Between 2000 and 2011, the wages of young college graduates dropped 5.4 percent (1.6 percent for men and 8.5 percent for women).

The wage declines since 2000 stand in sharp contrast to the strong wage growth for these groups from 1995 to 2000. During that period of low unemployment and overall strong wage growth, wages rose 19.1 percent for young college graduates (18.7 percent for men and 19.5 percent for women). The stark difference between these two economic periods illustrates how the wages for young graduates vary considerably depending on the health of the U.S. labor market. Young graduates who enter the labor market during periods of strength (e.g. 1995–2000) face much stronger wage prospects than young graduates who enter the labor market during periods of weakness (e.g. 2001 to the present).
For more information on the labor market prospects of this year’s graduates, read our recent report, The Class of 2012: Labor market for young graduates remains grim.

President Obama & the Democrats Assault on College Students

In President Obama & the Democrats continued "War on Children" we see how his North Korean like ballistic missiles of fiscal and economic failure have crashed down on many youthful supporters of his 2008 ascent to Commander of Youthful Grief, (the office formerly known as Commander in Chief).

report done by the Economic Policy Institute shows unemployment for young college graduates was 10.4% in 2010, and the underemployment rate was 19.8%. For young high school graduates, the statistics were even grimmer: unemployment was 32.7% in 2010, and the underemployment rate was 55.9%.

From the Economic Policy Institute --

Though the labor market is now headed in the right direction, the prospects for young high school and college graduates remain grim. This briefing paper examines the labor market that confronts young graduates who are not enrolled in additional schooling—specifically, high school graduates age 17–20 and college graduates age 21–24—and details the following findings:

  • Unemployment and underemployment rates of young graduates have only modestly improved since their peak in 2010. 

  • For young high school graduates, the unemployment rate was 32.7 percent in 2010 and 31.1 percent over the last year (April 2011–March 2012), while the underemployment rate was 55.9 percent in 2010 and 54.0 percent over the last year.

  • For young college graduates, the unemployment rate was 10.4 percent in 2010 and 9.4 percent over the last year, while the underemployment rate was 19.8 percent in 2010 and 19.1 percent over the last year.

  • There is no evidence that young high school graduates have been able to “shelter in school” from the labor market effects of the Great Recession; college and university enrollment rates for both men and women have not meaningfully departed from their long-term trend since the start of the Great Recession.

  • The long-run wage trends for young graduates are bleak, with wages substantially lower today than they were in 2000. Between 2000 and 2011, the real (inflation-adjusted) wages of young high school graduates declined by 11.1 percent, and the real wages of young college graduates declined by 5.4 percent.

  • Young graduates lack opportunities for advancement, a trend underscored by the fact that there are now nearly 30 percent fewer voluntary quits each month than there were each month in 2007.

  • Graduating in a bad economy has long-lasting economic consequences. For the next 10 to 15 years, the Class of 2012 will likely earn less than they would have if they had graduated when job opportunities were plentiful.

  • The safety net of federal and state assistance programs often does not cover young workers due to eligibility requirements such as significant prior work experience.

  • The cost of higher education has grown far more rapidly than median family income, leaving students with little choice but to take out loans, which, upon graduating into a labor market with limited job opportunities, they may not have the funds to repay.

  • The scarcity of job opportunities for the Class of 2012 is a symptom of weak demand for workers in the overall economy. What will bring down the unemployment rate of young workers most quickly and effectively are policies that will generate strong job growth overall, such as fiscal relief to states, substantial additional investment in infrastructure, expanded safety net measures, and direct job creation programs in communities particularly hard-hit by unemployment.

President Obama & the Democrats' "War on Children"

President Obama and the Democrats are doing their best to manipulate their attack on our religious freedoms and have it redefined as a conservative "War on Women".

While President Obama and the left will ask you to suspend all reality to believe their predetermined pagan prose, we want to share some facts as to "who" is really conducting a so-called war and point out "who" the victims are and the atrocities to be faced by future generations.

So if conservatives are conducting a "War on Women" then it is clear and indisputable that President Obama and his fellow Democrats on the left are conducting a "War on Children".

As you can see, without using Obama math (48 States + 2 States = 57 States), our nation's debt exceeds the debt of the entire Euro Zone and the U.K. combined...


And under President Obama's continued spending sprees, our debt continues to grow by leaps and bounds.  To date, according to the CBO's Long Term Budget Outlook, as they continue their onslaught of spending, our debt rises like mushroom clouds over the battlefield of life that will in effect make our future generations POW's of government debt.

In this Democrat driven "War on Children" a 16 yr old High School student, not even yet old enough to vote, will be shackled & chained with a minimum $870,000 of government debt. A child born today, through no fault of his own and only because of President Obama & the Democrats spending their future away, will be figuratively water boarded with over $1.5 Million of government debt. 

Expecting or future Mom's, well....   as the spending grows and our mushroom cloud of debt rises beyond the heaven's, your God's little bundles of joy can look forward to a lifetime of government subjugation at the Guantanamo Bay of life as they are forced to labor off their portion of the government debt from President Obama and the Democrats "War on Children".

 OK mom's take a look -- which ones are your grandchildren....
