The Democrat convention tried to shock, insult and frighten the voters with wildly false and baseless accusations. The fact remains that we have run up an additional five trillion in debt we owe to others. We have 23 million people out of work. College students are living at home because they have large loans and no jobs or prospect of jobs. We have Obama care which will take away Medicare Advantage by 2014 when the law is fully enacted. Those who hoped for change saw it in the social area with acceptance of the concept of government paid abortion, and government paid contraception. They saw it in the military with the acceptance of gay, transgender, lesbian personnel. It also showed in increased federal lawsuits against States like North Carolina and Arizona as they attempted to protect their States against fraudulent voters and illegal immigrants. It even revealed itself in the Presidential executive orders that went behind the back of Congress to carry out Obama’s will against the enacted law and against the 535 elected representatives of the people.
The main point is that the Obama administration has not been successful in stopping our economic decline nor has it created an environment for business owners of all sizes to create jobs. Obama’s speech intimated that with better times, hopefully to come, the government will be able to create jobs. Government jobs are always paid with tax dollars. And tax dollars come from successful business and working citizens.
Obama says he will build roads and bridges. We do that already and it doesn’t solve the need of our college graduates for jobs. Infrastructure is paid with tax dollars. He says we will have better education. We already have the best in the world for the most citizens. So, if the plan, is for the Obama to allow students not to pay back their student loans, well, that is more tax dollars spent. Remember taxes come from profit-making businesses and employed workers.
But people will tell me that when we are out of the War in Afghanistan then we will lots of money. The war is paid for by loans so any money saved by bringing the troops home, the so-called peace dividend, is a fantasy and not a fact. Bottom line? Obama’s speech indicates the same failed ideas that got us into the 16 trillion dollars of debt, namely, more and more government spending and more and more government control over our lives. Question? How will he pay for it.
At first more borrowing. Then he will print more money to inflate (cheapen) our dollar. Then as the clamor from our creditors and ourselves rises, he will tax all of us. Oh, yes, he will say he is taxing only the wealthy – an old class warfare trick of communists to divide and destroy the opposition forces. And when he taxes all of us, he will smilingly tell us that we demanded it and even mandated the new taxes because we re-elected him. He will say, “you wanted it and now, I am giving it to you.”
President Obama is very good at saying empty words that are carefully selected. The intent is to encourage us to fill his words with our own meaning. But his meaning for the words is not what we intend for ourselves but what he intends to do to us. The President, facing a re-election campaign, did not deliver on his promises in the first term, he will not deliver on his promises in the second. What could we do to him in the second? I shudder in remembering, his whispered words to the Russian Prime Minister, ” Tell Vladimir, that after I win election I will be free ….” Those are very frightening words that tell us that what he says and what he intends to do are not the same.
