Just how are we going to get us back to a sound economy when the madness of the policies that got us where we are continue to remain afloat.
It is not on the soundness of the banks and their investments made with real money that Obama wants to build our future.
No. The real money going to the banks is not coming out of their sound investments. It is coming out of our pockets where we keep our real concrete, hard earned, dollars. It is coming off of he sweat of our brows.
The banks will have greater recourse to real money assets when Obama and the Democrats in congress further cut into the American tax-payer pockets by reducing those entitlements which have provided a security blanket for the countless Americans who have and still do rely on entitlements such as Medicare, Social Security Retirement Funds, Disability Insurance, WIC programs, and so on.
If you are sick and old--America has forgotten all about you. If you are young, poor and need milk for your children, America has forgotten all about you. If you are crossing the threshold from gainfully employed to retired citizen … I hope you had a good job which paid lots of tax money into your social security fund so that you may enjoy a comfortable retirement. Your children and grandchildren will not be able to do the same if Obama and the Democratic congress get to play footsy with our Social Security Entitlement. If you are young, have recently worked, and are now collecting unemployment benefits… I hope that your salary was high enough, and that you and your employers paid enough into that part of our American security benefits, so that you may be able to keep up with all of the expenses your life demands… and, I hope that by the time your benefits end, some offshored job will have found its way back to American soil so that you may find gainful employment and become self-sufficient again.
In the meantime, Obama, inexplicably to me, continues to sell his vision for America projecting, into the whole tapestry of our wrecked American lives, (without first taking the real steps, the real hard measures needed to fix our economy) a whole new Army of Engineers and other college trained professionals who will apparently, find money created out of thin air to pay for their college tuitions, books and lodging, after which there will be jobs galore waiting for them.
It is no highly kept secret that college funding continues to drop in the midst of all this free ride the Geithner, Summers, Obama bailouts is giving to banks, while by-passing education, healthcare, public works and so on.
It is also no highly kept secret that colleges continue to raise their tuition to make up for the difference in their funding shortfall while the pocket of the American worker who could afford a college education keeps shrinking; it is no secret that colleges continue to cut their professorial and other staff, as well as choices in curriculum and other areas, as a means to cut cost.
Bush lived in a bubble.
Obama lives in a fantasy land and Congress is going along for the ride.
