And bravo to former Senator Phil Gramm, (who was also an economist himself) for outlining in succinct and easily understood terms the road-map the Obama administration has used to bring such great harm to the once-mighty U.S. economy and pillage the foundational strength of the American Middle Class.

This information must be shared with others, readers. This is not a war of left vs right, Democrat vs Republican. Rather it is a war of right and wrong. A living, breathing, strong and viable America, or a nation pushed further and further toward the abyss of insolvency and loss of personal freedom and opportunity.

 

Here is what I am simply calling the Obama Destruction of America Outline. These statistics are factual, irrefutable evidence of national politics gone horribly wrong in this country:

 

(H/T to White House Dossier)

Marginal tax rates on ordinary income are up 24%, a burden that falls directly on small businesses.
Tax rates on capital gains and dividends are up 59%, and the estate-tax rate is up 14%.
 
  • —While tax reform has languished in the U.S., other nations have cut corporate tax rates.
  • —The U.S. now has the highest corporate rate in the world and the most punitive treatment of foreign earnings.
  • —Federal debt held by the public has doubled, so a return of interest rates to their postwar norms, roughly 5% on a five-year Treasury note, will send the cost of servicing the debt up by $439 billion, almost doubling the current deficit.
  • –Large banks, under aggressive interpretation of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law, are regulated as if they were public utilities.
  • —Across the financial sector the rule of law is in tatters as tens of billions of dollars are extorted from large banks in legal settlements; insurance companies and money managers are subject to regulations set by international bodies; and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, formed in 2011, faces few checks, balances or restraints.
  • —With ObamaCare the government now effectively controls the health-care market—one seventh of the economy.
  • —The administration’s anti-carbon policies hamstring the energy market, distort investment and lower efficiency.
  • —During Mr. Obama’s presidency, the number of Americans receiving food stamps has risen by two-thirds and the number of people drawing disability insurance is up more than 20%. Not surprisingly, labor-force participation has plummeted.
  • —Crony capitalism and artificially low interest rates have distorted the capital markets, misallocating capital, overpricing assets and underpricing debt.
