Detroit and trickle-up socialism
One of the core principles of Obamanomics is the theory of trickle-up socialism, captured in its purest form by the contention that unemployment checks represent a powerful form of economic “stimulus.”  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi described unemployment insurance as “one of the biggest stimuluses to our economy,” because the money is “spent quickly, it injects money into the economy, and it’s job-creating.”

Two Americans Added to Food Stamp Rolls for Every Job Administration Says It Created
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said yesterday that the Obama administration has pulled the nation from the depths of the "Great Recession" with the creation of 7.2 million private sector jobs. Here's what Mr. Carney didn't say: Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama's presidency, 9.5 million Americans have dropped out of the labor force.  Nearly 90 million Americans are not working today! That means that 1.3 Americans have dropped out of the labor force for every one job the administration claims to have created. There are 15 million more Americans on food stamps today than when Obama assumed office.
