Most people look at what Obama is doing and judging him only what he is doing. They never look at "why" he is doing what he is. You know that I like to look at the big picture and connect as many dots as I can. When I do this, it starts to answer the "why".
In any problem situation, there are short term and long term considerations. Most people do not make this distinction and Obama and his people are smart enough to take advantage of this fact. It is my opinion that our most serious problems are short term. Let's take a look at what is going on and see how Obama trashing "our" country. Why he wants to do that is another Blog that tracks back to the 1960's.
First. let's look at global warming. This plays right into the hands of Obama. If it is not clear to anyone that "if" global warming is a problem, it is not a short term problem. We know that no mater what we spend today, it will not have any affect for many years in the future. Spend today and "hope" to get paid back in the future. Obama wants to bankrupt us today and he does not care about the future. Any way that he can spend our countries wealth today, he goes for it. If our basic problem is short term, whey all the concern about the distant future. Watch how Obama convinces our dumb citizens that we have to spend now to save the "world" in the future. By the time we have any problem with global warming, there will be such an increase in population that most of us will die from starvation.
Second, look at coal. Obama is doing every thing that he can to kill the coal industry that makes 60% of our electricity. He figured out that both the "greenies" and "global warmers" are easy to fool. Notice that we still mine coal, but we sell it to China where they can burn it in antique power plants. How is that logic? Out of sight, out of mind. Our coal is basically free. The cost is digging it out of the ground. We have millions of people out of work who we are paying by borrowing money from China. Why don't we just put them to work digging the coal and "selling" the coal rather than borrowing money to pay them? Is that too logical for you?
Third, how about green energy? Notice how Obama takes advantage of this one too? We know that windmills and solar panels produce electricity, but at a cost at least 10 or 12 times that from coal. Notice how Obama kills two with one stone? He keeps the "greenies" happy while making energy more costly for everyone. Obama is smart and it is clear that he wants to bankrupt "our" country.
Fourth, I have a lot more. Take the pell grant program. This is government money that is given to kids to go to college and get brain washed. Recall that the 5 top degrees at the University of Wisconsin Madison are all worthless and have no future payback. They are Political Science, Communications, Psychology, English and History. Now is this investment going to payoff in the short term? No! Does the expenditure address our short term economic problem or make it worse? That is an easy one. Worse, and that is what Obama wants. He wants to bankrupt "our" country. Is it starting to become clear.
Fifth, How about drilling in the Gulf or in Alaska or "frac-ing" for natural gas? In all these cases, Obama and his people are preventing more exploration or production of energy. Here again, Obama calls out his backers, "Greenies" and "Global Warming" people, plus our union college professors and school teachers.
Sixth, How about economic stimulus? Obama called on a bunch of his college professor economists to support his position. If the professors were so smart and knew so much about economics, why don't we see them running businesses? Don't you think it is strange. Talk is cheap.
What most people do not understand is that the economy of every country is only a little bit better or worse than most others. It is like a professional football team. The difference between the winners and losers very little. It only takes a small advantage for one team or the other to win. It is the same with the economy of a big country. That is why Obama can do so much damage. It is like he took the fist string quarter back out of the game. Teams can lose a single player and that can make the difference between winning and losing. Obama has said to the unions that, "...I have your backs...". What would you think if you were a business man and your President said that about the unions?
Seventh, How about the unions? What if the unions were even more powerful? What if they could demand even high pay and benefits? It would make our products cost even more.
Connect the dots and see if you don't agree that Obama is killing our economy?
