http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/julia-becomes-vehicle-for-obamas-messaging/ Mr. Obamaâs campaign has invented âJulia,â a fictional woman whose life is chronicled in a slick infographic published on the campaignâs Web site on Thursday. Visitors to the site can watch as Julia grows up, receiving benefits from the presidentâs policies along the way. At age 3, Julia is enrolled in Head Start programs, thanks to Mr. Obama. By 22, sheâs covered by her parentsâ health care because of Mr. Obamaâs health reforms. At 42, sheâs getting a small-business loan from the government. When she reaches 67, sheâs retired and drawing Social Security benefits.
It's the portrayal of the 'nanny state' from birth through death. That is Obama's vision. Is there anyone here who really thinks we should go down that path? This isn't Europe and we don't long to be Europe.
Lots of funny articles about this on Breitbart, i laughed my ass off at this one!!! LOL 'THE LIFE OF JULIA' (THE LIBERTARIAN REMIX) In our remix of that effort, we take a look at how President Obamaâs policies is already helping to make one womanâs life more miserable than it has to be â and how Mitt Romney would pretty much do exactly the same. Under President Obama: Julia's father is arrested and put in jail for running a legal medical marijuana dispensary in California, where President Obama's Justice Department has overseen a drug war that Jacob Sullum calls in many "ways even more aggressively intolerant than George W. Bush's." Under Mitt Romney: "We've got to not only continue our war on drugs...but also to market again to our young people about the perils of drugs." Under President Obama: Julia's mother is among the more than 1 million immigrants that Obama has deported since taking office while promising not to deport immigrants, and loving them very much. Under Mitt Romney: Julia's mother is also deported, but only after cutting his lawns. Under President Obama: Julia is ready to start college at a four-year state school, which now costs $55,000 a year thanks to persistent tuition inflation fueled by massively expanded student loans and other grants. She wants to see a doctor to get free birth control but an intense physician shortage caused by universal coverage mandates means she relies on coitus interruptus. Under Mitt Romney: College is for billionaires only and sex is banned. Under President Obama: After seven years and three children, Julia finishes college but has trouble finding a job in an economy that due to record high levels of spending and borrowing is at least 25 percent smaller than it might have been. Under Mitt Romney: Record high levels of spending and borrowing are slightly lower than under Obama, but the Navy has several more boats than it did in 1917. Under President Obama: One of Juliaâs kids is forced to attend a mediocre but expensive neighborhood school because Obama has closed down school choice programs like he did in Washington, D.C. Teachers unions spent $400 million on getting Democrats elected in 2012, so really, what else could he do? Julia wants to marry her girlfriend, but Obama still refuses to support marriage equality. Under Mitt Romney: The former Massachusetts governor bets Julia's son $10,000 that he would too have totally killed bin Laden. Under President Obama: As publicly held debt rushes past 100 percent of GDP, Julia decides to start a new online business selling wheelbarrows in which Americans can carry their rapidly depreciating dollars to the grocery store to buy their legally mandated broccoli. Under Mitt Romney: The Republican negotiates a deal for the federal government to collect a federal VAT on all online sales made through a weakened but still potent al Qaeda affiliates program. Under President Obama: Worn out by decades of hope and change and having paid increasingly high amounts of taxes into an unreformed old-age entitlement system that went bankrupt years earlier, Julia resigns herself to the fact that she is only halfway through her work life. She is optimistic that the troops will be home soon from Iraq and Afghanistan, but probably not from Korea or the Mexican border anytime soon. Under Mitt Romney: President Romney sells a majority stake in the United States to Bain Capital, which promises to return the country to profitability or sell off its assets within a year.
Oh yeah! A point lost on US liberals. The majority of US citizens are descendant from Europeans who left Europe for the most part because they weren't happy there. It should be no surprise then that most US citizens do not want to do things the way they're done in Europe.
Yep, with the productive among us paying the bills. Its a nightmare vision of this country for those who remember free enterprise and the pursuit of individual liberty. It is becoming normal for young able-bodied people to eschew gainful employment and instead seek out the government tit. There is going to be a whole generation of people who are unprepared to support themselves. Its the "Obama Effect".
Rest in the comfort that, no matter who wins, the Nanny State is a myth that cannot be achieved. We will be hard bankrupt long before that ever happens.
3 Years Old. Under President Obama: Julia is enrolled in a Head Start program to help get her ready for school. Because of steps President Obama has taken to improve programs like this one, Julia joins thousands of students across the country who will start getting their first indoctrination into socialism provided by teachers that refuse to allow performance test protected by their union. 17 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia takes the SAT test that is quickly and quietly doctored by her teachers to show that she is on track to start her college applications. While in school she is part of the Race to the Top program, implemented by President Obama. If her parents send her to school with any lunch not approve by big government it will be replaced at tax payer expense. Their new college- and career-ready standards mean even if Julia can't read, she can take the classes she needs because the collage is subsidized by big government so it doesn't matter how much they increase prices and lower standards. 18 Years Old Under President Obama: As she prepares for her first semester of college, Julia and her family qualify for President Obama's American Opportunity Tax Creditâworth up to $10,000 over four years. Julia is also one of millions of students who receive a Pell Grant to help put a college education within reach. All at taxpayer expense. The National Debt is now $42 trillion. 22 years Old Under President Obama: During college, Julia undergoes surgery. Thankfully she only had to wait 16 months to get the care she required and she was covered by her insurance due to a provision in health care reform that lets her stay on her parents' coverage that they were forced to buy and cost much more then the insurance that was once provided through their employer, until she turns 26. 23 Years Old Under President Obama: Because of steps like the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, Julia is one of millions of women across the country who knows she'll always be able to stand up for her right to equal pay. However since she can't find a job in web design and is forced to take a job at Village Inn by day and Hooters at night. 25 Years Old Under President Obama: After graduation, Julia's struggles with repaying her student loan but thankfully gets relief at tax payer expense. The National Debt is Now $58 Trillion. 27 Years Old Under President Obama: For the past four years, Julia has continued to look for work as a full-time web designer. Unfortunately there are so few small businesses and they already have a web site thanks' to new software technology that makes it so any yahoo can create a web site. Thanks to Obamacare, her health insurance is required to cover birth control, and the murder of unborn children regardless of your beliefs. and the waiting list is now less than 3 years for preventive care, letting Julia focus on how she will pay for her face lift and boob job to stay at Hooters. 31 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia decides to have a child. She quits her job at Hooters. Throughout her pregnancy, she benefits from maternal checkups, prenatal care, and free screenings under health care reform. Thankfully even though the standard of health care has declined substantially under Omamacare, her new baby is fine. She now also qualifies for food stamps and many other welfare benefits. 37 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia's son Zachary starts his turn for socialist propaganda in kindergarten. The public schools in their neighborhood have suffered greatly with continued spending cuts. But they didn't know that socialism works great...till you run out of other people's money. 42 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia starts her own web business. She qualifies for a Small Business Administration loan, giving her the money she needs to invest in her business. Too bad President Obama's tax increases and regulatory environment for small businesses like Julia's she really never gets off the ground. She defaults on the SBA loan at the expense of the ever shrinking taxpayers. 65 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia hoped to enroll in Medicare, helping her to afford preventive care and the prescription drugs she needs but the whole system collapsed, like all Ponzi Schemes, years ago. 67 Years Old Under President Obama: Julia, after years of depending on the welfare state, she hoped that she would receive the Social Security she was promised. However she receives only a small token amount of her monthly benefits. She needn't worry about her savings, that was wiped out years ago by inflation and the government mandates on what kind of lightbulb, and electric car she had to buy. Too bad the Liberals didn't learn from history. They'd see that every time socialism is tried...it's failed. Now she has to work at a community garden just to get enough to eat. Like other socialized healthcare around the world, the preventative care that was promised gets rationed. Now she worries that should anything go wrong, she'll have a vist from the death counselors.
