Obama: Recovery Will Take Years Not Months
Now that it has become apparent that Obama's 787 billion dollar
stimulus bill hasn't worked? The president seems to be pleading for
patience from the American people. As a rule, the American people are
a patient lot. They tend to go along a lot farther with idiocy than
they should historically. Especially when it concerns their taxes.
(Makes one wonder what ever happened to the true tea party revelers and
their progeny that have become weaklings).
But when the best that
the president of the United States can muster are the lame excuses that
he brought to the table yesterday? I believe the patience of Job won't
be long in the offing with the average American. Give it another 90
days and the reality will be sitting squarely on the shoulders of every
American. And it won't have been shaken, sifted and measured in
accordance with what the bible teaches, but rather what the bible
prophesied IMO.
According to the president? The stimulus wasn't
designed to rescue the economy, only to "stop the free fall." So let's
see, it costs almost a trillion dollars just to (in theory) put the
brakes on a faltering economy which is still in motion in the wrong
direction by the way. So how much will it cost to get the economy to
put it in reverse and slowly back out of the ditch? Another trillion?
Two? Three? Is it even recoverable at this point, especially
considering an 11 trillion dollar deficit and grwoing by the minute.
The
president's highlight reel of yesterday lays claim to having propped up
state budgets and extended unemployment and assisted with more
affordable health care via his stimulus. But where are the jobs? There
in lies the problem and the reality IMO. You don't hear him or his
minions at treasury talking about job creation or even job maintaining
anymore. And they have just as quickly brushed past their projections
of an 8% unemployment rate of last February. Now that we are at 9.5
unemployment rate and climbing, there is no longer any talk of creating
3 million new jobs. There is no more talk of maintaining what we
presently have. Only the prediction that "it will get worse before it
gets better." Tell me something I didn't know before you were elected
Mr. president.
And as laughable as it may seem? Old smoking Joe
Biden may be the only one who has even approached speaking truth to
reality in Washington of late. When the VP said last week that they may
have misjudged the economy? (just a tad) That was surely an
understatement, but at least it is the closest we have come yet to the
truth since the man of change first took office.
And now the
president is sending up trial balloons on a potential second stimulus
package. Carefully dodging any direct references to a second stimulus
himself, he none the less has allowed those inside his administration
to throw the dog on the table to see how the people will react. IMO?
The thoughts of another trillion in government waste won't play well
with middle America. The first stimulus hasn't played well from middle
America to the board rooms to the former fawning billionaires Buffet
and Soros. And it is playing worse now that the realities of the
failure of 787 billion in wasted stimulus are becoming apparent to the
average American. Give it time? Do we have time?
I am one of
those who happens to believe that the rudder of the ship of state is
hard over to the left and we are heading toward the shoals instead of
toward the safety of port. There is nothing in the current stimulus or
any future stimulus that will save this country, in the absence of
common sense cut backs in wasteful Washington entitlements and pork. We
have to cut taxes and cut waste and we have to do it now.
We have
to cut these wasteful programs and budgets designed solely for
bureaucracies that are nothing less than self propelled life blood
draining siphons on our collective future as a nation. There in lies
the solution Mr. president. there in lies the road to redemption. But I
don't think that you see it. You are too blinded by your partisan
desires of lofting the socialist brass rings into the arena and your
desire to see this nation made over into something completely alien to
all.
Last week the phones and emails of the US senate were set
ablaze by citizens complaining and demanding that the senate put an end
to your cap and trade (tax) bill. And this week the calls will once
again reach a crescendo of appeal and demand.
The tide is turning
if ever so slowly and the people will not long suffer under the yoke of
the fiscal and financial oppression that this man and his philosophies
of Marxist socialism are attempting to foist on us all.
