Wasting Time With Alex

We are in great hands!

Remember all the hubbub starting way back in 2006 and carrying on all the way into the 2008 elections about how fiscally irresponsible and bad the people in charge were? How angry the democrats were that these evil people were creating more debt? Well it seems that some debt is better than others. The leftists were furious about the federal government spending what the constitution actually gave it permission to - defense and national security - and while there was also a ton of pork, it is nothing compared to what followed after the democrats took over congress in 2006. Of course the pork and social spending went through the roof, and with help from a willing MSM, these crooks convinced everyone that it was everyone but their fault. Angered, the American people turned to a smooth talking used car salesman whose lack of experience, marxist agenda and beliefs, and complete and utter stupidity, the MSM did a bang up job of protecting. While many fell for the “Hope and Change” bull, most of us that are not wowed by marxists in sheep clothing saw that what this idiot meant was that we could only hope to be left with some loose change by the time he was done plundering our pockets at both the personal and national level.

A mere year down the road, these collectivists are setting new spending records, with no end in sight, and have raised our debt to numbers previously unimaginable, with a lot more to come, as this post pointed out. If you dig deep enough you can see how well they are taking care of the trust people gave them, and find stories like this one showing we are in great hands. Many continue to push the meme that the democrats had no choice but to engage in these massive and all out Keynesian orgy of spending because of evil Bush, but that’s all tripe. Some of us pointed out that the whole fiscal responsibility claim of the democrats was simply tripe - based on historical behavior and the actions since they took congress in 2006 - but we were mostly ignored. Even when we pointed out that Obama himself had no desire to be fiscally responsible. Most of the American people are wising up and realizing these people just can not do otherwise, as the Massachusetts election were a republican walked away with the Kennedy seat, showed last week. Many of the rank and file democrats got the message, but the WH, which wanted to claim they passed this monstrosity in Obama’s forthcoming state of the union address, seems to remain oblivious to a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Unemployment-rose-in-43-apf-261347135.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=6&asset=&ccode=" target="_new">what people are worried about, and how what they are doing is fueling the problem.

Americans better get used to the current economic situation, because despite the soon to come talk about how the WH now gets that the main concern we have is the economy, and especially the massive unemployment, the solutions they will come up with will all be wrong. We are dealing with a bunch of characters that despise anything but government control of everything. They can not think outside that collectivist box, and consequently every solution come up with will involve either more borrowing and useless spending - stimulus patronage bill 2, despite the fact that most people see the first one as the waste it was – or other anti-business actions – like Obama’s attack on the financial sector – which will cause exactly the opposite of any kind of economic growth. The one good thing I see coming out of this whole mess though is that people will finally be shown that we have been lied and manipulated by those that pushed the idiotic idea that democrats were better for the economy. They are not unless your idea of a better economy is one that collapses and is replaced with one that mirrors for example Chavez’s Venezuela, Kim’s North Korea, or Castro’s Cuba.
