Exercising Economic Common Sense
Barack Obama and his supporters claim that the November elections were about hope and change.
The American people were duped into believing this because the media was in the tank for him. Now a mere two and one half weeks into his administration, serious people are asking if he is in over his head.
Although he promised a government without the fingerprints of lobbyists, the truth is that most of his appointments are either Clintonistas who made their fortunes as lobbyists or former senators turned multi-million dollar moguls.
Charles Krauthammer said it best in his latest post.
all we can hope is that the Senate Republicans hold firm and oppose all of this nonsense.
After all, when someone wants you to sign something without reading it, or before reading it, the best advice is to NOT sign it, run away and run away fast.
Well the same thing applies here.
The American people are being told that if we do not act, it will be a catastrophe. I'm not so sure that spending a zillion dollars of our children's money is a good idea. seems awful shortsighted to me.
Seems we ought to be looking for ways to sell American goods and services to those who can pay for it, and to cut back on wasteful spending while we retool for the 21st Century.
Seems that we ought to become energy independent so we are not sending those hard earned dollars overseas to finance countries and regimes who do not think highly of us.
Seems as if we should shrink government so it does not compete with the private sector for investment dollars.
But then all of this is just old fashioned economic common sense.
And there is none of that in Washington, D.C. not now, not yesterday, and I dare say not tomorrow - unless we, the people clean house. The problem though with "we the people, " is that a lot of the people want the hand out, not the hand up. And I am not talking about the poor. I am talking about all of those companies looking for federal gran rs, government projects, and sweetheart deals.
That's all for now.
