This is the attitude which will destroy this country economically. Just look at Greece, Portugal, Japan, Spain, any number of the socialist European countries now reeling from their spending binges. What is missing from this snippet is any conversation about the fact that if jobs are the biggest problem facing the country, then the answer is tax reform, government budget reform, and limits on government spending. Otherwise, we’ll just continue down the rat hole until everything implodes on top of us.
I post this video clip primarily because I want everyone to understand that this is the opposition when it comes to any meaningful reform. On a day when Nancy Pelosi and Congress pass a $26 billion stimulus bailout bill for teacher and public employee unions and a state medicaid payoff, this represents exactly why that bill was passed, as payola to the unions.
Listen to it closely. Until this mindset is either changed, buried or enough of us begin to drown out this baloney, we’re facing an uphill battle.
We have met the enemy, and it is us. As long as this mentality exists, or at least is predominate, we will continue down the rat hole of profligate spending. If he really cared about jobs, he’d propose tax reform, limited government spending.
