That Pesky Capitalism

Well apparently Obama is not even hiding his disdain for that pesky idea of “Capitalism”.  It is just a pain and we shouldn’t keep doing it.  Let’s get off the train now.  Obama said that we can’t keep following the system of “endless cycles of bubble and bust”.  Do you mean cyclical markets?  That is kinda how they work… well unless we implement central planning, comrade.

Obama Says U.S. Can’t Afford ‘Bubble-and-Bust’ Cycles

Capitalism was cool.  I am going to miss it.

Obama’s Lack of Economic Understanding

Personally, I am not certain if the Obama administration doesn’t understand the economy or if they truly have ulterior motives.  But this article does a great job of debunking the current course of action:

Obama Placing the Economic Cart Before the Horse

We got your money…

Here’s a Friday SMILE sort of…

WE GOT YOUR MONEY !

GONNA SPEND YOUR MONEY !

GONNA PRINT SOME MORE MONEY !

No One Cares about Pork

Well, I think that Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has the campaign slogan for the Democrats (Youtube – Schumer):

“… focuses on those little, teeny,  yes “porky” ammendments… the American People don’t care”

So, I think that when people ask why the bill was so big Democrats should say “Because you really don’t care”.  Maybe that can even be the next campaign slogan “Socialism… Because you don’t care”.

This is Our President???

Here’s an amazing comment made the ONE about the economy:

“This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse,” Obama wrote in the newspaper piece titled, “The Action Americans Need.”

Are you serious that we put someone in office who actually believes that the economy can’t right itself without government intervention.  AND… believes that if we don’t something the crisis could be irreversible?

Don’t they teach Economics and History at Harvard?  Unbelievable!

Sick of statist politicians

<BEGIN RANT>

In a recent tweet I stated the following:

“Here’s what I have decided I am sick of statist politicians both Rep and Dem. Stop forcing things down my throat thru fear tactics! #tcot”

I then reinforced it with a few other comments:

First it was Bush with the overreaching Patriot Act and now it’s Obama with the Porkulus bill. #tcot

Actually, it is much more long standing than that. Clinton – CRA, Carter, Dept o Education, etc. #tcot

I am getting sick and tired of all of the aristocracy in this country babysitting me.  We have a crazy concept that this country was founded on… Freedom.  Stop passing more and more social “advancement” regulations such as the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).  Don’t play on our fears and create bureaucracies like the DHS and the TSA.  Stay away from my liberties and don’t pass things like the Patriot Act.  Leave my freedom of speech alone and stop passing crap like McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform!  Let capitalism be capitalism and stop trying to save us from evil capitalism with trillions of dollars of taxpayer funds.

Both parties are power crazy.  Both parties believe how great they are.  Both want to RULE not represent.  Both are invested in being the aristocracy.  What about “We the People…”?  We are offered more entitlements.  Guess what I don’t want your hand outs.  I don’t want your nannystate.  I don’t want the rotten benefits you provide.

Suggestions for government:

1. New entitlements can not be even considered until you resolve the problems with the current programs (i.e. Social Security and Medicare).

2. Federal budgets are not allowed to go up by more than the rate of inflation.  Figure it OUT!!!

3. You are NOT economists.  Leave the economy alone.  Keynes was wrong it doesn’t help.

4. You answer to the people not to the lobbyists, journalists, and Washington elites.  How about you try listening!

5. Little tip: The Constitution is a contract that was written by the people.  You didn’t GIVE us our rights, we limited YOUR power.

It is time that the people actually start saying “Breech of Contract” and start removing representatives/senators/presidents who pay no attention to our demands.  It is time that we start caring about things and take back OUR country.
