When was the last time a nation taxed their way back to economic prosperity? hint: never is a good answer. Think about that before you vote for president.
When do you think the news networks are going to point out that the surge in Iraq has been a raging success? It is a shame that we waited so long to add the needed military fire power to capture and kill the insurgents, but we did it, it worked, and we are on the cusp of winning a war that many, including Barack Obama declared lost. I am sure he is getting ready to point this out in his next speech...or the one after that.
Does anyone really think that if we add protectionist legislation to the list of old ideas we want to re implement that manufacturing jobs will come back to American shores? Those jobs are where they belong, where labor is cheap and plentiful.
Barack Obama stated that the policies of George Bush have pushed millions into poverty. Really? When unemployment has been at historic lows for the past 5 years, home ownership is at historic highs, despite the press fixation on the mortgage "crisis", and we have been on a path of economic growth for the past 6 years, yet millions are suffering and in poverty? Sounds like made-up electioneering to me. Hey Obama, there are over 300 million people in the United States...if 99% are have jobs, own their homes, and are living the good life, guess what, there are still millions who are not. It is called the law of big numbers. We live in a country of over 300 million citizens. No matter how well things may have gone or may be going you can always find millions down on their luck. Also, the law of diminishing marginal returns says that it will be more costly for government to raise the next person out of the ditch, so guess what, they shouldn't, it's not the government's job and it costs too much stinking money.
What the hell is Obama talking about when he says he will invest in green jobs? Why should the government invest in any jobs? What is a green job? This guy is not looking too bright any more or he is getting real bad advice.
"I believe that America's free market has been the engine of America's great progress. It's created a prosperity that is the envy of the world. It's led to a standard of living unmatched in history. And it has provided great rewards to the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon for science, and technology, and discovery…We are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.”
— Barack Obama, New York, NY, September 17, 2007
Isn't that quote hilarious? Barack believes in the free market so much he is going to kill it...strangle it with more taxes and "green" regulation, kill NAFTA and the Colombian Free Trade agreement. He is going to take the great rewards from those who have earned them through the free market and give them to those who have not. We are all in this together, so let's make sure that the shitter smells the same for everyone when we are all sitting there wondering what happened to the free markets that Obama killed. Sorry for the rant, but I cannot take the pandering from this guy any more. He is looking more clownish with each passing day. Lord help us!
