thriggle Tue, Feb 24, 2009 11:49:25pm |
I am extremely disappointed to hear President Obama say decisively that the current economic problems of America can be fixed by having the government force (or entice) banks to make loans. He even used as his example of the path to prosperity making sure a family unable to afford a home can get a loan to buy one. The entire financial crisis is based upon banks giving out loans--specifically, home loans--to people that they shouldn't have, especially by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and at the Congress's behest.
I am disappointed that President Obama pretends the stimulus package will create real jobs, giving as examples the construction of roads, bridges, and wind farms. Of course, roads, bridges, and wind farms do not generate money of themselves, and thus do not create jobs--rather, they require regular government funding to maintain. The stimulus package doesn't create jobs. It hires contractors dependent on government funds.
I am disturbed at the doublespeak behind President Obama's cap-and-trade scheme. He calls it a market-driven approach to ensuring clean energy. In fact, it inverses the market by making it profitable (due to government subsidy) to run companies at a loss, while punishing (through energy taxes) companies that actually make money. And the most ridiculous part of the equation is that the scheme depends on looting the resources of the companies it is discouraging--anything that emits carbon dioxide, in this case--in order to fund companies that cannot survive without these subsidies. When the de facto carbon tax actually achieves its goal of driving all carbon-producing operations out of business, the source of money to pay for the "clean" corporations dries up. The looters will have to look for other income-earning businesses upon which to impose taxes in order to continue funding their unprofitable energy sinkholes.
President Obama, unsurprisingly, is effecting the tax increase he denied on the campaign trail that he would ever impose (even as "nonpartisan" fact-checking sites attacked John McCain as a liar for suggesting Obama was planning to raise any taxes by repealing Bush's tax cuts). Just as in the carbon cap-and-trade scheme, he plans to tax those who earn money (in this case, anyone earning over $250,000) in order to subsidize those who do not contribute to the government's funds.
Furthermore, the 3.5 million jobs he claims will be created by the stimulus package are also dependent on continued government contracts--they are not sustainable jobs that will begin creating wealth that the government can then tax to pay for other things. No, all of these 3.5 million government jobs will supposedly be funded by taxing real wealth creators, the top 2% of American income earners. Of course, when we lose those income-earners by chasing them away, draining their assets, and destroying their businesses, we'll have to find some other way to fund all these government contracts, lest we want to be responsible for putting 3.5 million individuals out of work.
The repeated assurances that most voters won't be sacrificed to pay for this scheme ignores the public's discomfort with the concept: i.e., that the government is entitled to disproportionately violate the property rights of certain American citizens so long as those so violated are in the minority. This sort of social cannibalism is not logically sustainable--gutting the productive to provide for the nonproductive will ultimately leave you a world with nonproductive citizens and no producers left to gut (although realistically, Republicans will come back into power in 2010, at least until the Democrats kick them out, and we'll keep wavering on a cycle of production and distribution, hopefully ad nauseam, rather than destroying ourselves).

The media writes of hopeful eight year old children telling Obama to keep up his national bath in red ink, because "Americans aren't quitters!"
You only have to look back a few months ago to see the media's tales of the Bush deficit and how it was grinding down the poor and killing hope and the American dream. What a difference a new face in office makes!
The media is cheer leading as Obama stampedes us over a cliff. This is what we get for living in a nation of morons.
