So much for freezing spending... I know President Obama said he would not freeze spending but come-on... Are you kidding $3.8 Trillion. I would say he is leaving the door open for health care, stimulus 2 whoops I mean the "Jobs Bill" and every other special interest organization would will help the Democrats hold their seats in both houses. Don't be fooled this is nothing more than 1) accomplishing the progressive agenda and 2) providing tax payer money to special interest groups who in-turn will send money to back to fatten the coffers of those politicians who will support their positions.
Of course as will the other bills this last year congress will pass these bills saying it is in the best interest of the economy and will create jobs... How many times have we heard that? Who gets caught paying for it... again the taxpayer.
Many of us have lost our jobs (including myself) this past year and what the government is doing, would be like me spending on credit only 3-4 times more than I did when I had a job. Somewhere down the road the credit is maxed-out and I go bankrupt but that is okay... because the government will give me a do-over (bankruptcy). The only difference is that when it comes to the Government bankruptcy court is the world. They are the judge and right now the world has almost had enough of us (the spoiled child). So the do-over is not going to happen and what will, is a major collapse of the dollar and our economy... We will join the world as a 2nd rate nation with China and India emerging as the 2 new superpowers. China already holds more than 1/2 of our debt, they will as a good landlord foreclose on us.
Recent history has taught us in the past that when the financial and money markets rupture that is time when a savior steps in and offers to rescue the people. It is what created the Soviet Union in 1917, it is what created Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930's, Communist China in the 1940's, Cuba in the 1960's... could it be our fate as well? If there is one word in our dictionary that should be removed it is the word "NEVER" yes it can happen here too. Five years ago no-one even thought a first-time half white/black man could become President. Many thought that the change Obama was offering during his campaign was true and legitimate... transparency, special interest and partisan politics removed from Washington, financial and fiscal responsibility, advisors with Center beliefs and that politically he would accept responsibility and not make excusses. Well upon reflection of this past year he did exactly what he said he would do transform America, but it is not the transformation most of us on the CENTER LEFT to CENTER RIGHT thought we were going to get.
It seems pretty clear where his goals and priorities are. Let us be like the elephant that is said to remember the past not forget and when it comes to our turn to have a say once again. Let's say it loud and clear again. Yes, Mr. President we did here you loud and clear "WHEN WILL YOU OPEN YOUR EARS AND HERE US LOUD AND CLEAR... VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY and MASSACHUSETTS WERE PRETTY DARE LOUD IF YOU ASK ME." Perhaps in a perfect world you could be as perfect as you think, unfortunately for us and you this is not a perfect world.
