Who’s paying for all this?
Well, it would appear that King Midas and his buddy King Solomon have decided to loan the US government all their riches to pay for the Stimulus bill. Now we’re trying to get in touch with the Sultan of Brunei and the city of El Dorado to cover the budget bill. Good GRIEF! Where do these ignorant clowns think all this money is going to come from? This congress reminds me of a story about a lady who got her first checking account as an adult and couldn’t understand why the bank got mad at her for writing bad checks… turns out she thought that as long as there were checks in the checkbook that she still had money.
I don’t need to ask why, and outrage hardly seems to make any difference, but who in the media is going to grow a set and ask this idiot president of ours how ‘no earmarks’ turned into ’9000 earmarks’? He has now observably and demonstratively completed a task in office that no-one at ABC NBC CBS CNN or MSNBC will ever report. He is now a proven liar. First, the stimulus bill was without earmarks. This has repeatedly been shown in recent days to be a total fallicy. Now the spending bill has no earmarks. (Tattoo removal for former gang members isn’t an earmark since it is a constitutionally described role of the federal government)
Lying to the American public is one thing, but to have the arrogance to tell such an OBVIOUS lie and not care what anyone thinks about it is hubris and arrogance on a scale that this country’s founders would have started a war over… wait, they did start a war…
Obama is acting like a king with a parliament full of dutiful subjects that will cater to his every whim. Not only that, but he deigns to come to the microphone almost daily to call out individual businesses and groups of people for targeting by the American government ‘persecution squad’. Every time I hear one of these senators at a hearing asking about a private jet or a golden parachute, I wonder about the Cadillac health care plan that they have, and the jets that they use to get back and forth between Washington and their district (ahem, Nancy). Why don’t THEY start capping their luxury benefits and lifetime pension packages? Oh yes, the rules don’t apply to them. I mean, it was only the government – i.e. Barney Frank (as directed by Bill Clinton) that caused all these bad mortgages to be created in the first place. Community Reinvestment Act anyone? Why should any of them be held accountable? Remember, these are the same people that are FORCING banks to take money and then telling them how they have to run their businesses because they took federal funding.
Come to think of it, that kinda sounds like the definition of ‘bullying’ to me. How do we deal with bullies? Well, the tried and true method is to punch ‘em in the nose first chance you get and dare ‘em to try it again. I will certainly be entering the voting booth with a ‘ready fist’ in 2012. In the meantime, I will resort to the freedom I have in this country to strike back with free speech. I plan to verbally ‘bloody a few noses’ from now until then. I hope you enjoy the continuing smackdown.
