Julia’s struggle with Socialism began in the land of Oz when she met the Wizard of Ozamba.

Julia was whisked away from the Wizard of Ozamba at the tender age of 24. Julia studied the Word of Porkulus Pelosi on the wings of Air Pelosi. Powered by the Czar of taxpayer subsidies, Julia became a White House Intern.

As an Intern, Julia took the Red Pill of Obammunism and Alice showed her how deep the rabbit-hole of Mandatory Socialized Medicine goes. After helping the Wizard of Ozamba dig a Big Red Hole, Julia was promoted to White House Aide.

In the end, Julia became the Chief of Staff to stimulate Barack ‘Urkel’ Obama’s flaccid economy Down under.

The failure of Obamanomics

Obama’s economic advisers claimed Barack’s Stimulus Package would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent…

Yet, the unemployment rate increased to 10% under Obama’s Recovery Plan before any employment Change occurred.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan (ARRA aka Stimulus Package) was initially estimated to cost taxpayers $787 billion. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that ARRA will increase budget deficits over the 2009–2019 period by $821 billion on Feb 23, 2011. The CBO currently estimates that ARRA will increase budget deficits over the 2009–2019 period by $831 billion.

The CBO claims that Obama’s $831 Billion Porkulus Package (ARRA) created between 10.3 million and 31.1 million jobs from the 3rd Quarter of 2009 to the 2nd Quarter of 2012 (Note 1) yet, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals 3.886 million new jobs were created from Oct 2009 to June 2012.

Apparently, there is no reliable government data that reveals how many jobs were saved and created by the ARRA yet, a 2011 Ohio State University Economics study revealed that Obama’s Stimulus killed 1 million private sector jobs and saved 450,000 government-sector jobs. To date, $757.5 billion has been spent to save government jobs according to the study.
