President Obama plans to embark on a 100 city tour to support more government spending. A tour to support more and more spending of money that our government doesn't have. This years budget deficit is projected to be more than $900 Billion and our President wants to spend more? I will ask again as I have so many times before, how many of you out there can routinely spend more than you take in EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND NOT GO BROKE? Currently our government sees fit to spend $37 per citizen EVERY DAY. That's almost $11 Billion a day for those with a calculator. Or if you look at it another way, only 50% of the populace pays taxes, so that would break down to $74 dollars a day per tax payer!
President Obama would have us believe that Washington doesn't have a spending problem, that it has a revenue problem. That Washington needs to tax the rich more in order to balance it's spending to revenue ratio. Looking at all the facts out there, economists that say more spending won't work, countries that have failed with similar policies and not to mention actual FACTS that deny this direction...I wasn't sure of why there was not an uprising against this sort of leadership.
Then, it hit me. They don't want to be wrong. They don't want to be remembered as the people who didn't try! They don't see the issues and problems because they are attempting to build a legacy, but they are completely unaware that they are building it out of straw. A structure that will not withstand the winds of change.
Now I don't believe that Obama's supporters our truly blind to his antics but I do think they make a subconscious choice to not look any deeper than the surface. It's like a weird cloaking force field over all his bullshit. Kind of like the SEP field used in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. If you paint an elephant pink with polka dots and put it in a room full of people..the majority of people will refuse to see it because it's absurd. It's 'somebody else's problem' (SEP). Obama's bullshit is a huge pink, polka dotted elephant!!
Let's take, for example, President Obama's little 100 city tour to promote more spending. If we assume that it's going to take Airforce One two hours to reach each destination and use the military's estimation of hourly cost to operation Airforce One, than we come up with 2x100x $180,000 that figures out to $36,000,000. That's $36 Million people and that's only travel!! To have the President run around the country spending money to extol the virtues of spending more money. No ones looking at the pink elephant in the room.
I believe history will show that Obama's supporters will be remembered as people that looked the other way while our future was raped, pillaged and sold off to the highest bidder. They believed in this administration to be a modern day Robin Hood, to take from the rich and give to the poor. History will show that they stole from the future poor to finance their power over the populace. They are not helping the poor by taxing the rich, they are hurting the poor through higher prices of commodities due to higher operating costs passed down to the consumer. Ultimately any tax that is not across the board will trickle down to the people that can least afford it.
But that's somebody else's problem ain't it?
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
