Despite polls showing widespread opposition to Obamacare, the Democrats insist on enacting this legislation — in the name of the working class.

Obama's shameful campaign to criminalize officials in the Bush administration is reminiscent of Stalin's purges of his opponents in 1936-38. No matter how one fudges the numbers or rationalizes about environmental benefits, green jobs require enormous government subsidies. One tepid clap for President Obama's reconsideration to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammad in New York City. Germany has criminalized home schooling, demanding that parents place their children in state schools. California is moving in the same direction. Loading us with amounts of debt that can never be repaid guarantees our servitude to the Washington elite. Just as the Fed's creation of fiat money made possible the dot.com bubble and burst, as well as the current over-expansion of home-building and over-investment in subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations, so too did it create the conditions for the 1929 stock market crash. For at least two decades, proposals by the Social Security Administration and Congress to cut Medicare costs have come to naught. The dollar edges closer to becoming a third-world currency. The overriding characteristic of President Obama's healthcare proposal is forced equality of consumption. Healthcare "reform" is all about the raw power to decide who gets what treatment, while cramming everyone into identical little boxes in order to eliminate any efforts in the direction of individuality. When the "stimulus" bill was enacted, the unemployment level was approximately half the present 9.4%. The politically-correct, identity-politics education, of which Professor Gates is a champion, has destroyed the historical purpose of education, leaving us an ignorant and divided people. All government intervention in the economy distorts decision making, with bad and unanticipated results. There is more than a bit of nastiness in this liberal-progressive urge to smash what others have built and to drag people down to their level. Nothing gets liberals more excited than the prospect of global government. The social justice views of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor have deep roots. Investors are beginning to look ahead, anticipating surging inflation. Corruption can be reduced only by reducing the size of the Federal government. President Obama is ignoring history and emulating FDR's 1930s New Deal. Family farms are losers in the stimulus pork barrel. The simple truth is that no president can pull an economy out of recession or guarantee continuous prosperity. A recession created by excess debt can't be cured by creating more Federal debt. Both the President and his Secretary of State are on record as believing that the key to world peace and the end of Islamic jihad is to buy-off the enemy with welfare benefits, funded by American taxpayers. The ferocious reaction by the scientific establishment against any voice questioning the hypothesis of man-made global warming is remarkably similar in spirit to the Inquisition. |
