THEPATRIOTJOURNAL.COM: Obama's Hope And Change Is Criminal
Obama's Hope And Change Is Criminal
It's funny how arrogance has a tendency to come back around and bite oneself in the backside. I remember Obama talking about the urgency of passing the stimulus and omnibus bills (omnibus: meaning encompassing lots of things, mainly different pork projects in exchange for votes, he was repaying debts to supporters and lobbyists with our money). He said "this is the worse economy since the Great Depression". He scoffed at Republicans in Congress that were opposed even when it turned out to be a party line vote in the House of Representatives. Well now, 5 months and 2 and a half million jobs later Vice President Biden says that they didn't realize the extent of the economic problems. Obama in response says, it's not that they didn't realize, they were just under informed. Huh? am I missing something here? How could you know it was the worst economy since the Great Depression and then claim you were under informed? I'll tell you why, he's a liar that's why. He knew all along how bad it was and is either too stupid to think that more government spending is going to recover the economy or he doesn't care and is going to advance his Marxist agenda no matter the consequences. I know which one it is, it's the latter!
Now there is talk of a second stimulus bill, like the first trillion dollar plus stimulus (after interest is paid on the 787 billion principle) wasn't enough to prove that government spending has never recovered an economy. Do you realize how much a trillion is? One billion is a thousand million. One trillion is a thousand billion. Our great grandchildren won't be able to pay that off. And it gets even better, this is all paid for above and beyond the budget, which if you are a Democrat means raise taxes. Raising taxes now when no one has money to spend is going to be the economic tipping point for alot of people.
On top of that, the surreptitious taxing of everybody by passing the ridiculous Cap and Trade farce will put many people out of work and add on an average of 3000 dollars extra to your yearly energy bill. And he isn't done there, nationalized health care which is something that no one is going to want when it gets here, and it will be too late to go back when it does get here, is going to cost the government another trillion a year. People are losing jobs and Obama and the pretentious 111th Congress are worried about "global warming" which is a hoax, a fraud, a big trumped story to get you to worry and let them save you. It's a ruse to secure more control of all of our lives. First it's incandescent light bulbs, next they will tell you what temperature you can have your thermostat on. And again, paying for the impact of Cap and Trade is money that will be spent above and beyond expenditures of normal government operation.
"Yeah but Mike what about all the money that Bush blew on the Iraq war?" That was peanuts compared to what Obama has spent in his first 5 months in office. In fact Obama and the pretentious 111th Congress have spent more in 2009 than all other years in our nations history including every war we have ever fought, combined! and there is still 5 months left in 2009. We are heading for very hard times folks, very hard times indeed. This is our money and way of life they are spending.
Mark Levin said it best in that if they tax us for services we don't receive or otherwise waste the money for political reasons, they are taking money that we would spend on our families. Everyone only lives a certain amount of years and can only work a certain amount of years to get the best for oneself and their family. If government takes more than they are mandated to take it is criminal. They are taking years of your working life to pay them rather than using the money to create a better life for you and yours. The government already takes all of your earnings up to May of each year and if Obama and the 111th Congress have their way, you'll be working until October or November for the government. I suggest like I always suggest, get on the phone and call Congress and tell them, no more!

But comrade Mike, what you don't understand is that we are all going to get tax cuts, free health care, free mortgages, free a brand new Chevy, and a bottle of Belvedere in every freezer. What could be better?

The Democratic Party is doing there best to spend us into a Banana Republic. It does not take a brain surgeon to know that spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have and quadrupling the debt of this nation will weaken the dollar and cause inflation. Foreign nations have figured that out but somehow our own national press that is so enamored with every word President Obama speaks that all they see is “sweetness and light”
All we can hope is that the American people will wake up before they implement “Tax and Kill” (Cap and Trade), National Healthcare, and a SECOND stimulus plan. Reply to this

OK I'm really begining to think I'm living in bizarro world or something! I happened to catch some of Barrack Obama's speech from Tuesday this morning and I could not believe what I was hearing!
President Obama blamed health care costs for the mounting federal deficit (yep, he said it!). He elaborated by claiming health costs are the "primary driver" of the federal deficit. OK just hold on a minute! Health care costs are the reason for the deficit?
I know we have issues with Medicare and Medicaid and everyone knows they are going to be an issue down the road but to blame the current situation on helath care costs is flat out wrong.
It wasn't helath care that tripled the deficit in his first 3 months in office! I mean he could have given a thousand different reasons...the worst depression in years, the stimulus package, the bail out, hell even the war in Iraq but this guy says with a straight face that "Health Care Costs Are To Blame For The National Deficit" Uhmm........BULLSHIT!
So is that what we currently spend? Is that a projection of what we might spend?Is this before his 1.6 Trillion dollar plan to nationalized health care?
But somehow we’re going to afford his unprecedented expansion of the government welfare state through nationalized health care? If the U.S. can’t afford Medicare and Medicaid for a small subset of the population, how will we afford the equivalent service for the entire population?
Is anybody listening to what this guy is saying? He is blaming the national deficit on health care costs! He is using smoke and mirrors and when that doesn't work, he will flat out lie!
