Cradle to Grave - Obamalism - Socialism the American Way

Follow the life of "Julia."

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 kindergarten ready to learn and succeed.

Under President Obama: Julia takes the SAT and is on track to start her college applications. Her high school is part of the Race to the Top program, implemented by President Obama. Their new college- and career-ready standards mean Julia can take the classes she needs to do well.

Under President Obama: As she prepares for her first semester of college, Julia and her family qualify for President Obama's American Opportunity Tax Credit—worth 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.

Under President Obama: During college, Julia undergoes surgery. It is thankfully covered by her insurance due to a provision in health care reform that lets her stay on her parents' coverage until she turns 26.

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. She starts her career as a web designer.

Under President Obama: After graduation, Julia's federal student loans are more manageable since President Obama capped income-based federal student loan payments and kept interest rates low. She makes her payments on time every month, keeping her on track to repay her student loans.

Under President Obama: For the past four years, Julia has worked full-time as a web designer. Thanks to Obamacare, her health insurance is required to cover birth control and preventive care, letting Julia focus on her work rather than worry about her health.

Under President Obama: Julia decides to have a child. Throughout her pregnancy, she benefits from maternal checkups, prenatal care, and free screenings under health care reform.

Under President Obama: Julia's son Zachary starts kindergarten. The public schools in their neighborhood have better facilities and great teachers because of President Obama's investments in education and programs like Race to the Top.

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. President Obama's tax cuts for small businesses like Julia's help her to get started. She's able to hire employees, creating new jobs in her town and helping to grow the local economy.

Under President Obama: Julia enrolls in Medicare, helping her to afford preventive care and the prescription drugs she needs.

Under President Obama: Julia retires. After years of contributing to Social Security, she receives monthly benefits that help her retire comfortably, without worrying that she'll run out of savings. This allows her to volunteer at a community garden.

This should be insulting to woman. Obama is substituting the old misogynist concept that a woman can't get along without help and replacing it with a soft-socialism that will help "Julia" from cradle to grave.

Most decent people believe that government should be there to assist and help those who find themselves in legitimately rough or desperate circumstances. But an adult Julia, from what I can tell, does not qualify.

Welcome to Obama's Brave New World.

You left out the part where she doesn't have to file for bankruptcy and lose everything she's worked for all her life because of an unexpected major health issue.

And he also left out the part about how much of the national debt Julia was responsible for...

Your concern about the national debt instead of the possibility of a woman being wiped out by debt rather than allowing her to get health insurance through the shared-risk pools at a reasonable rate is duly noted....

Note to self: The Righties are still sociopaths.

Wow! Obama is president from the time that Julia enters Kindergarten until she is on Social Security?
What happened to term limits? tongue:

Yes, who is the sociopath, the person who would rather save one person from bankruptcy than a whole nation from crumbling, with riots, suicides, etc?

He also left out who gets to pay for it all.

Yeah, letting someone BUY a policy from a risk-pool--(NOT funded by taxpayer money)--is such a drain on the so-called "National Debt"...

God, you are so wound up, how do you withdraw from the Kool-Aid long enough to eat dinner?

Yes, I KNOW who the sociopaths are. And they aren't on my side...

You'd have to ask Obama - it's his fairly tell that's being told . . . . the story comes from his website, or did you miss that detail somehow?
