Obama’s Jobless Relapse
- 0 Comments
Let’s see…
The economy is rocky; so the Obama Administration responds by:
- Pouring hundreds of billions of dollars down the rathole of “stimulus,” funneling most of it to well-heeled political cronies, ficticious accounts, and radical organizations;
- Forcing banks, financial institutions, and huge corporations to accept “bailouts” — accompanied by nationalization;
- Piling on hundreds of new, hideously expensive government programs whose primary purpose is to buy Democratic votes by paying off special-interest groups;
- Taking over health care, looting Medicare, and engineering a socialist system, as near as makes no difference — one that costs about $2.5 trillion that we don’t have;
- Taxing the energy industry to death, making it so expensive to generate power that we just stop doing do, to prop up a dubious, unscientific thesis that has been all but disproven already;
- Pushing Unionization über Alles, regardless of how that affects job creation;
- Jacking up all other taxes, particularly on various despised industries and on the hated “rich,” but with a good, healthy wallop at ordinary Americans across the country;
- Issuing — without industry input but with the connivance of a murder of wacko, anti-capitalist groups — a labyrinth of new, untested, and incomprehensible regulations for businesses to follow or be slaughtered by;
- And warning America that Barack H. Obama knows what more it really needs — and he’s going to give it to us, good and hard, in 2010! (Including throwing open the immigration floodgates, tearing down the wall, and heavily favoring those immigrants least likely to assimilate and become productive workers, rather than welfare hunters.)
And now the administration is shocked, shocked that unemployment remains at 10%; that real unemployment — unemployment plus underemployment plus discouraged workers who have quit looking for jobs — rises to 17.3%; that the deficit skyrockets by trillions of dollars; that other countries (read: Fascist China) are increasingly reluctant to lend more to a bad-risk borrower — say, too bad there’s no extraterrestrial Fannie Mae to buy our toxic asshats! — and that every economic indicator is headed further south.
Welcome to Econ. 101.
The first principle of Obamunism appears to be “more, harder, faster!” It’s almost as if Obama has accepted that he will be a one-termer, and that he’ll lose most (or all) of his Democratic majority in November; so he wants to ram through as much radical leftism as possible before he becomes a lame duck next January. Maybe we can reach a tipping point where even a Republican takeover in 2010 and a President Mitt Romney in 2012 can’t stop America’s slide into ACORNism…
It’s no wonder he’s such pals with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Oogo Chavez, Mel Zelaya, and los bros Castro: birds of a feather, you know. Let’s hope we can clip his wings — before he flocks us all.
