The practice of throwing money at things, hoping problems will go away, by giving it to the people who already have piles of money instead of giving it to the people whose money it is in the first place, the taxpayers. This is also called "trickle down your pants" economics.
Give Wall Street, and automakers, billions of dollars to correct their poor decisions. Wall Street pays its bills, creates a couple mergers, small town banks still fail every day, and the wealthy get richer while the poor get poorer. That's Obamanomics in practice. How many jobs did it create for the poor? Probably lost jobs instead.

"let me get this straight. The more financially successful I become, the more money the government will take from me? And, MY money will be used to fund idealistic, social welfare programs, which have already been proven miserable failures in every country in which they've been implemented? Welcome to the wonderful world of Obamanomics!"

Get the OBAMANOMICS mug.From Obama + Economics. Simply defined, Obamanomics means Obama economics.
Obamanomics is a critical economics theory. It offers a critical look at existing capitalist economic models, theories, and practices, especially the obsolete trickle-down economics. President Obama is not necessarily interested in enunciating a new economic theory of production, distribution, and consumption of goods. His commitment to socioeconomic and ecological justice, green economy, general welfare, and peace leads him to suggest ways of improving life in our unequal world and increasingly warming planet. In agreement with climate science, he believes that poverty and climate change are anthropogenic phenomena over which humans have some control. He decries and rejects trickle-down economics, individualism, greed, and out-of-control consumerism as big contributing factors to poverty and unspeakable inequalities. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and The Patients' Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 are crucial components of Obamanomics. This definition is based on the international award-winning book, "Obamanomics and Francisconomics: A Call for Poverty Alleviation, Fairness, and Welfare” by Dr. Zekeh S. Gbotokuma, Europe Books, 2022).
