I listened to sanity coming from Jim DeMint when he called for Cut, Cap and Balance. It’s just common sense:
And then made the tactical error of tuning into the news where I was treated to Obama wobbling like a massive pile of jello – he won’t give a solid number for the Republicans to deal with. Hell, he won’t give a plan at all. It’s the never ending dance of “gotcha” that the Obama administration plays with the American public. And just like Lucie in the skit with Charlie Brown, Americans always wind up flat on their backs wondering what happened. That’ll be 5 cents please…
Sure, there will be a lame vote next Tuesday where the Republicans are proposing we raise the debt ceiling 2.4 Trillion and reduce the debt by the same amount. Wait a minute… I’m not a genius, but doesn’t that cipher to not much progress at all? That doesn’t sound like the salvation we so sorely need; it sounds like classic politics where the can is kicked down the road and we are still screwed financially – they are just going to prolong it while the politicians finish raping the system of every dime in grandma’s couch. They are absolutely shameless.
Those in office who are with the Tea Party need to call Obama’s bluff and tell him to stuff it. Sure, we lose no matter which way we go. But let’s take our medicine and at least save what’s left of the country. If we don’t, I guess China will be more than glad to rule us. Better start learning Mandarin and fast.
But in the end, no matter what Conservatives, the Tea Party and Americans want, Obama will have his way with us. Making Americans feel just like a girl for hire. He wants the system to fail – yeah, baby… I would not be surprised to see him ride in on a white steed at the end of these negotiations and sign an Executive Order raising the debt ceiling. He’ll say the evil Republicans forced him to do it, because they wanted to destroy the county. And after all, he knows what is best for America – him and his minions: Timothy (tax cheat) Geithner, Ben Bernanke, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and a whole cast of evil surrogates.
Where lies and deception reign supreme, they’ll all dance the Obama strut. It’s just a form of appreciation and elite theft. And don’t forget the race card – whenever things don’t go the Progressive way, they pull the race card from their sleeve and claim it’s because Obama is black.
According to Obama, Armageddon is looming and we are doomed I tell you if we don’t raise the debt ceiling. Never mind that is a bald faced lie – it’s dramatic, no? And in the next evil breath, he says that there is no need to do anything radical – that is as long as you do what he wants. You can’t win with Obama and that’s the point.
Here’s an idea… Cut the damned spending! Cap it while you are at it and balance the budget.
- Cut – Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.
- Cap – Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.
- Balance – Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses.
