That Darn Republican on Sunday, March 29, 2009 12:00:00 AM
I was particularly disturbed one day recently listening to one of my regular talk radio programs when a guest speaker was on trying to battle with a Kool-Aid drinking progressive left-o-crat defending Obama's wealth spreading thus far, and wouldn't you know... it wasn't look long before point-the-finger games started reminding me of who we are dealing with fundamentally [ more mental than fun... trust me].
TARP came up as [of course] being blamed on Bush, which... he wasn't a strident defender of - he just saw it as a choice that had to be made then. But ultimately the truth is [as the speaker reminded the liberal] the sitting president gets blamed for what happens - good or bad. Then finally got to the real point of leverage - we have a liberal majority in both houses that are all for the expansion of government by any means necessary, this was the lead in to a perfect storm of unprecedented spending.
I think the article speaks for itself with out the spin... Even before the Omnibus[ted] spending bill spread like wildfire through the house and then onto the Senate, the CBO had mentioned it would be better for the economy to not have done anything at all than to engage the illusion of spending ourselves out of debt. If people cannot do it - How does the government think they can? Are they supernatural? I guess that is where progressive secularist faith lies - in largess. In less than 100 days this leftist has driven onto the books 2 generations of debt - completely contrary to what our founders laid out in the Federalist Papers about the management of the size of government, and not passing on our current debt to future generations - which may be a constitutional argument under equal protection; which would be a very valid argument at this point and time.
