Title

Jobarama: Obama's 'Investment'

Author(s)

Brown, Chris

Abstract

With all of the talk of how charismatic Barack Obama is, or of his oratory ability - and especially given his recent presidential victory - it is time to engage in a deeper economic critique of Obama's actual policies. Once we see the true effects of his policies and the incentives they create, we will see that his leadership skills and abilities make him more of a threat to freedom than if he were less articulate. In this article we will start with a small part of Obama's program to 'create' jobs, with the aim of tackling poverty.
