Obama, We Just Did This
Yesterday Barack Obama gave what was supposed to be a speech on his economic plan. If anyone listened to what he actually said they realized he gave no specifics, just more empty rhetoric and platitudes. For example, Obama stated:
Only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to lift us from a recession this deep and severe. Only government can break the cycle that are (sic–is) crippling our economy. That’s why we need to act boldly and act now to reverse these cycles.That’s why we need to restart the flow of credit and ensure the rules of the road that will ensure a crisis like this never happens again.
Didn’t we just do this? Isn’t this what the big $700 billion bailout was supposed to do? The same bailout that Obama supported because he also claimed then it would resolve our economic problems? The same bailout that was so necessary because only the government could save us? Was that not also an emergency, an economic crisis which required immediate action by the government?
Well, what happened? Why is the economy not fixed? Why is the recession not over? If only government can fix the problem then why is the problem not fixed?
I could say so much more about the absurdity and absolute lies Obama sold much of the country yesterday but to be quite frank I am tired and have no interest. I have blogged about this over and over and over. Now, it’s time to pay the piper and he don’t come cheap. I can only hope my readers have taken the steps necessary to get themselves debt free or close to it. Protect yourselves people because it’s about to get real ugly.
Thieves who steal from private citizens spend their lives in bonds and chains; thieves who steal from public funds spend theirs in gold and purple. - Cato, Praeda Militibus Dividenda, XI, 3
