Thank you Obama, No Really, THANK YOU

Thank you for waking a sleeping giant.  Who is that sleeping giant?

 

 

Well, let’s see couldn’t that be “We The People”? that have been ”Asleep at the proverbial Wheel”.  Oh yes it is!  

 

Mr. you have awakened the American people from their Rip Van Winkle stupor and for that I want to thank you.  The only good you have accomplished is this “awakening”.

 

Yes, that is exactly who you have awakened; Americans that still believe the American dream becomes a reality only when an individual realizes that “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” can only be achieved through personal effort and self sacrifice of taking the high road as opposed to the easy way, But you know what?  EVENTUALLY ALL THE EASY WAY OUTS have run out.  Yep, you folks have hit the “end of the line”, you know “run them in the ground” so to speak.  Just as you are doing every small business owner that is the back bone of America as well as the average American.  

 

 

So I would like to share several books I’ve read lately which provided much wisdom as to the nature of men as well as the nature of the self serving man and what his ignorance of true freedom and what true freedom really means. 

The lazy, self serving man does not care about freedom; oh yes he wants freedom but willingly gives it up for a moment of temporary enjoyment or rather instant gratification. Fearfully reminds me of what Benjamin Franklin often said,

“Those who would give up Essential Liberty
to purchase a little Temporary Safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

  

Temporary gratification i.e., short lived enjoyment is equal to government proping up of her citizens as opposed to assisting her to create jobs to employ the unemployed thus assisting American citizens to subsist and thrive on their own. 

 

 I am not against temporary help, but what has happened is neither temporary nor sustainable.  Instead of assisting American small business owners to create jobs Mr. Obama you are punishing them.  Instead of providing incentives to expand our businesses, improve our businesses, or create businesses hence hiring or increasing the employee base we are being penalized at an ever increasing rate, thank you Mr. Obama.  

Some of these authors and books are but not limited to:

Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter written in 1849 and I quote from the book, men that may have lost jobs, fotunes, etc. ”look wistfully about in quest of support external to themselves…Waiting for the strong arm of their uncle (Uncle Sam)” (to prop them up and sustain them, hence removing their drive for any future external employment or the will to work and be a productive citizen).

Paul Bunyan, The Pilgrims Progress written in 1678 and I reference from the book, Christian on his journey of truth & wisdom to rid himself of life’s burdens encounters 3 men asleep with shackles on, Simple, Sloth, and Presumption.  Christian attempted to awaken them so they could flee imminent danger warning their predicament was akin to being asleep atop a ships rigging to which they replied, I see no danger, Just a little more sleep, Every tub must stand upon it’s own bottom then they all went back asleep.  Christian also met Formality and Hypocrisy as they entered  by climbing over the wall ILLEGALLY.  Being questioned by Christian, Why didn’t you come in at the gate? Only Thieves and Robbers climb over the wall to enter the path.  Formality and Hypocrisy answered “what does it matter how we get into the pathway, if we are in, we are in.  Christian answers the Lord of the way already considers you thieves so I doubt you’ll be found worthy at the end of the Way. You came in without his discretion, you will go without his mercy.   

 

M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled written in 1978, I quote from the book”Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behaviour, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity.  But this means we then vie away our power to that entity, be it “fate”, or “society” or the government or the coroporation or our boss.  It is for this reason that Erich Fronmm so aptly titled his study of Nazism and authoritarianism, Escape from Freedom.  Folks to relinquish our power, OUR FREEDOM simply because we are tired, or just too lazy to persevere is just moronic. Don’t do it.

 

George Orwell, Animal Farm written in 1945 “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”   Another quote from Orwell, “…life would go on as it had always gone on–that is, badly.”  You see folks, this is exactly what Dear Leader wants for you, is planning for you.  Whilst he and family take extravagant vacactions on the tax payers dime. 

Ayn Rand, Anthem 1938, The powers to be are so worried about anyone striving to be exceptional or even above average the elitist class literally beats them down.  Everyone is automatically told what their lot in life will be (where the highest IQ is forced to be a trash collector and the lowest IQ may be assigned a council position), sorta like what is emerging onto Americans from Washington, D.C. and the SHEEPLE are bowing down drinking the kool aid and asking for more.   

 

Sound familiar?  Strange how authors up to three hundred years ago understood the error of always looking for the easy way.  I don’t know about you but my mother and father always told me that anything worth having or working towards takes effort, personal effort and perseverance.  Our hopes and dreams are attainable but they will not be handed to us on a silver platter but instead must be the product of hard work and sacrifice.  The sweat off my brow and not my brothers’ (figuratively speaking). 

 
You, Obama have single handedly stifled creativity and free will of the American people while crushing the hopes and dreams of nearly every entrepreneur and nealy every new student straight out of College with a degree, and the millions of Americans that have already lost their jobs.  

  

 

 

Good job, psycho.

   

Obama says, SHUT UP AND DRINK THE KOOL AID!

National Debt for Your Children’s, childrens’, childrens’, childrens’ courtesy Obama & Company

 In this video, I wanted to take a close look at the historical nature of the US debt. Unfortunately, I couldn’t say all I wanted to say or it would have been three times as long and I would have bored myself to death trying to make it.

 
 

First of all, I would like to state that I am not trying to defend President Bush’s spending. I personally think Bush was spending far too much. My preference would be to reduce the debt… or at least stay put and let inflation take it’s toll on the debt. My point in this video is that it is the most absurd hypocrisy for someone to complain about how much Bush spent and then yawn when Obama is spending so much more.

A close look at the numbers reveals that this isn’t even a “We’re in a recession, we have to spend that money” issue. Obama’s high deficit plans continue long after the recession is projected to end.

Next, I want to give some pointers to the data I used and then I want to clear up some of the muddier issues in the video.

This video uses the US Treasury’s data on the national debt for the debt numbers and adjusts each year for inflation using the inflation numbers on this site.

In order to understand where the debt would be in 2016, I used the the President’s estimate in his latest budget proposal. These numbers are generally accepted to be optimistic (the Congressional Budget Office has them pegged at much higher), but I didn’t want to put the president at an unfair advantage.

Actually (and I would do this over again if I could) I calculated the future debt with regards to inflation (I assumed about 1.0% inflation per year) so that President Obama is going slower than if I just used his own numbers. I tried to bend the numbers to Obama’s advantage,  not because I agree with him, but so that there is no room for the accusation of number fudging.

In retrospect, I think it would have been more fair to assume that the President’s team had already assumed the inflation calculation and that their 2016 debt data was calculated in 2016 money and not 2008 money.

So that’s all about the calculations… now I’d like to make a note about some other decisions I made. I thought it was important to keep in mind which party held Congress. The reason is because it is actually more accurate to say

“Under President So-and-so, the debt increased by X amount”

due to the fact that the president only proposes the budget and must work with Congress in order to get a budget passed.

In 1994, we voted in a Congress that was remarkably fiscally conservative… so much so that they fought a protracted battle with President Clinton in 1995  trying desperately to get him to agree to a lower budget. The press ripped the Republican Congress (particularly Newt Gingrich) to shreds over it and they (the Republicans) ended up conceeding the matter.

On the other side of things, Reagan tried to pass smaller budgets, but the House of Representitives was heavily Democratic and added to his proposed budget until he refused to sign, leading to another government shutdown.

Long story short, the budget is a combined effort of what the president proposes and what the Congress decides, so I thought it was only fair to mention both sides of the equation once the debt really started increasing drastically. This, of course, is only more damning to Bush and Obama, since both of them have (or had) a situation in which their party is in complete control of the government.
