"Iceberg right ahead!"

My last post spoke of the "iceberg" that is Barack Obama, as he puts himself in the way of the "Titanic" that is our country and our economy. Here is a perfect example of his doings which illustrates my point. With the help of a compliant and sycophantic Congress, Barack Obama is ready to "invest" (his word) quite a bit of taxpayers' money - my money, your money - toward trying to get the United States out of its current financial mess. Not that this so-called investment is going to help. Here is the money quote from the Obamessiah:

"At the current course and speed, a trillion-dollar deficit will be here before we even start the next budget," Obama said Tuesday. "And potentially we've got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come, even with the economic recovery that we are working on at this point."

Rather than confiscating and borrowing trillions of dollars of our hard-earned money, the one thing Obama and the Congress need to do is the one thing that they will NEVER do, and that is to simply get out of the way. Contrary to leftist belief, it was overregulation of the business and financial sector, not underregulation, that caused this mess in the first place. The last thing we need is more regulation and government meddling. That has been tried before. It was called the New Deal, and it failed miserably. Unfortunately, voters get the politicians they deserve, and the fact that our two primary choices this election cycle were Barack Obama and John McCain show that voters from both parties are pretty damn ignorant. For quite a while now, American voters gauge the effectiveness of a politician on whether or not that politician does something. The thought that government should, by and large, stay out of our lives is one that has never crossed too many minds of the American people. Hence, the situation you see today, and have seen more or less since the 1930s.

Good Day to You, Sir
