For those who remember Schoolhouse Rock, this is a funny blast from the past. But it is certainly not all that funny in real life.
$5 Trillion. If only.
". . .a fiscal misadventure, with million dollar dentures . . ." What a great description of our debt problems. Seems NO ONE has been responsible enough to rein in the ridiculous spending. And we would not have those outrageous war debt issues if we would just stop forgiving debt. I mean, Japan and Italy and Germany (in WWII) declared war on the world at large. Yet we have forgiven all the money we spent rebuilding. And now, Iraq and Afghanistan is draining our dollars without so much as a "how do you do" as far as repayment. How about giving us oil at a cheap rate? Tell OPEC to stuff it. The radicals attacked us and still attempt to do so. Yet we are spending so much money securing and rebuilding their countries. For what? No thanks in response. But the wimpy, pander to the lowest common denominator of the world and American apology artist POTUS would just forgive and forget.
Maybe it is time we elect people to office who will really rein in debt. And the best way to ensure they do so is to kick out of office the ones who will not do the job they were elected for.
The whiners will tell tales of woe about not caring for the needy in this country if we cut spending on the three big areas that suck up most of the money. (Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.) And the wimpy panty-waists who decry the wars will boo-hoo about how we destroyed their country so we need to pay for rebuilding it.
But I ask this, who is paying to rebuild the twin tower area in NYC? Who paid for rebuilding the Pentagon? Who is paying to rebuild the higher security and anxiety of a nation attacked unprovoked by cowards and liars? I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate. So why do we have to pay them for all this without anything in return when we were just shoring up our own country's defense by responding. They need to pay up, in oil or cash, and stop playing the innocent victims.
As for the entitlement programs, there is so much unnecessary redundancy and abuse in the systems of Medicare and Medicaid that the needy don't get what they really need. And the system has a built in binky factor (a binky is a baby pacifier for those of you in the dark about the term). We need to wean off those who no longer need the help, stop the abusers from scamming "the system" for their own lazy benefits and streamline the way things work so that the truly needy get all the help we can offer. And as for social security, that was a failed system the minute they diverted funds to other government needs.
Government is TOO BIG, the system of entitlements is too fat and bloated and used by those who are just lazy, and the the (most of) the people in office ned to be shipped back to the million dollar abodes they slithered out from. (This is not class envy, but proof that they are out of touch with regular Americans.)
As usual, you can agree with my assessment of the situation and wave your "Yay!" banner, or you can disagree and call me a callous elitist (but I would wrinkle my nose at the "elitist" part because it would be funny if it weren't sad). Either way, it really makes no difference to me. Just so long as that decision to agree or disagree was made up by your own mind and not just a regurgitation of some left or right wing pundit's pronouncement. But hey, this is just me, Thinking Out Loud.
Have a great day.

Now he knows how we feel
President Obama has "reached his limit" on the debt talks. He says it may bring his Presidency down but he will not yield.
Well, POTUS, now you know how we, the American public, fell about all the nonsense you and your Democratic colleagues have been doing these past 2+ years. In the midterm elections, we pretty much let you know we also had "reached our limit" with the "you have to read it to find out what's in it" legislation and backdoor deals and economic flubs and government intrusions into our lives. We told you, in no uncertain terms that creating government jobs is not a way to stimulate the economy. We demanded an end to the bailouts turned corporate take overs where we the taxpayers did not want to own a piece of Big Auto, nor did we want any part of dictating to business how they "do" business. We chanted in march after march, rally after rally, townhall after townhall that we were tired of the people who have never owned, operated nor run ANY kind of business telling corporate America how to do their jobs. We have since decried your continued excesses and finger pointing and media spin that made CEOs targets of vile hate and fear mongering. Even as recently as a few days ago, we drew a collective gasp and delivered astonished "good griefs" over your obvious fear pandering to senior citizens when you told them their checks would stop when you knew full well it was a lie.
We have told YOU that we had reached out limit with you and your social engineering, We told you we would no longer listen to your politically motivated drivel, nor to the media's obvious spin doctoring.
But it is incredible to see that you still do not listen.
Your lackeys such as Steve Israel and Robby Mook continue to send out their outraged letters in defense of your position and further vilification of the Republicans for standing firm against the dangerous actions you insist on taking. You continue to call special press conferences to berate and belittle true Americans who want us to stop this downward spiral of our economy, values and the long history of the American 'can-do' spirit and great tradition of entrepreneurialism.
So I guess now you know how we fell. You have reached your limit. One can only hope. maybe you'll stop fighting the millions who keep saying Noooooooo when it comes to out of control spending. Maybe you'll start to listen when we collectively say Stoooooooop in denouncement of your heavy handed tactics. We pray that you'll come to some kind of sense and behave like a President of the United States and not some Democratic Party dictator and patsy.
If not, we will definitely have our say come November of 2012. You will definitely hear us then when we say GOODBYE at the polling stations across America. Because I don't know of any rational thinking person, even Democrats, who will not say enough is enough. Who will not tell you loud and clear, we have REACHED OUR LIMIT with you.
Agree or disagree, but some of you out there have got to have your thinking caps on and realize that what I am saying makes sense. Some of you have got to understand that what the President, the NLRB, Pelosi, Reid, Frank and the rest of the Democratic machine in this country is doing to further destabilize and destroy our economy. But if not, that is okay, too. Just as long as I maybe made you think just a little differently instead of blindly following anyone else's "truths" about our economy and the debt limit, than I will have done my job. Either way, it is no matter to me. Because, heck, this is just me, Thinking Ouot Loud.
Have a great day.
