“Our nation will sink into a crisis that, at some point, is going to be that much tougher to reverse. So we cannot afford to wait. We can’t wait and see and hope for the best.” (President Obama)Thank you Mr. Happy! So much for abandoning the politics of fear for change and hope. Worse, Obama’s Chief of Staff stated publicly, ”You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” This is the clearest admission yet that Democrats are exploiting the fear of the American people to implement their liberal wish list.
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
Confirming this admission, New York Senator Charles Schumer believes that Americans don’t even care that they are wasting millions of dollars on useless pork barrel spending, saying, “To all the chattering class that so much focuses on those little tiny, yes, porky amendments, the American people really don’t care.” That chattering class is you, by the way, if you have the audacity to disagree with him.
Continuing with the best and brightest of the Democrat party, Senator Harry Reid, believing, apparently, that only the government is capable of solving our problems, says “One option we do not have is to do nothing.” President Barrack Obama also admitted, “I can’t tell you for sure that everything in this plan will work exactly as we hope.” Comforting. But, alas, lest your fear subside, he warns ominously, “I can tell you with complete confidence that a failure to act will only deepen this crisis as well as the pain felt by millions of Americans.” Wow. I hope you had your morning coffee before that bit of sunshine. Hurray for President Obama!
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
Obama’s dire outlook and near apocalyptic predictions fly in the face of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s belief that it is now fear that is driving the downturn. In Congressional testimony he admitted, “The reason the banks and the credit markets are frozen is no longer the legacy sub-prime mortgages and those things. It’s more concern about where the economy’s going.”
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
And when Heath Shuler, former NFL quarterback and current House Democrat from North Carolina, dared to speak out against the failure of Democrat Congressional leadership to pursue an actual bipartisan compromise, instead of the liberal bipartisanship which consists of agreeing with them, Senator Reid (through his spokesman of course) asked, “Let me get this straight,” thus forecasting the impending arrogant sarcasm, “this is coming from a guy who threw more than twice as many interceptions than touchdowns?” Way to stay on message Mr. Reid.
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
And how much are all these bail outs and government stimulus packages going to cost our grandchildren? As best I can figure it, America's bail out and stimulus spending since November will total at least $3 Trillion before the trough runs dry.
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
Here’s the breakdown:
- $2,300,000,000,000 - Original and proposed bank bail outs
(“Wall Street rescue: $2.3 trillion - the cost of US bank bailout,” Stephen Foley, The Independent, 11-Feb-2009)
(“Wall Street tumbles as U.S. stimulus package passes,” Sheldon Alberts, Canwest News, 10-Feb-2009 7:01 p.m.) - $53,900,000,000 - Auto bail out and “research incentives”
(“The Auto Bailout Keeps Growing, and Growing,” Joseph R. Szczesny, Time Online, 14-Jan-2009) - $800,000,000,000 - Current “Stimulus Package” (capitalized because it’s important) averaged between House and Senate bill amounts
(“Senate passes Obama's economic recovery plan,” Associated Press, 10-Feb-2009 6:27 p.m. ET)
(Current estimated American population, U.S. Census Bureau, 15-Feb-09, 3:04 p.m. CT).
Do the math and it averages to more than $10,300 per living human being in America, or nearly $42,000 per family of four. How much of that do you think you'll actually see?
I’m just sayin’.
Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change. Hope. Change.
