So let me get this straight. The President has admitted that our government is out of money. There is no more money to spend on anything. We have run up a huge deficit this year and our national debt went from about 9 trillion only a year ago to close to 12 trillion now. And Congress is planning another stimulus package?
What is the definition of crazy? According to AA and other 12 step programs, it is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Congress is full of crazy people. They have no grasp of human nature, or even basic economic principles. And common sense is apparently taboo in Washington D.C.
I heard on Rush Limbaugh’s show a clip from some women, who were probably black, in Detroit waiting for their stimulus money. Both seemed overjoyed and had absolutely no idea where the money was coming from. They were wards of the state and a product of the wasted education system that so many morons in this country revere. They were the low-church liberals who are too stupid to actually think for themselves and are content to just constantly receive money from the government.
Slavery has returned in America and it comes from the government. Roughly 40% of all the money you make every year goes directly to taxes. If you add up the amount that companies spend to maintain government regulations for all those wonderful products and services you and I purchase, I would guess that’s another 20-30%, although no one really can do a complete study on it without going completely mad.
I live on the rim of insanity. On a map, it is called I-495 and it surrounds Washington D.C. More commonly, it is known as the beltway. This is where they come up with all their crazy ideas that only benefit the organizations represented by the special interest groups there. Everyday Congress is bribed by these shameless people into passing a bill that is unconstitutional and only benefits a select few.
The only true way to free us from this madness is to push for limited government. Severely limited government should be the order of business and Congress should not question whether a bill is right or wrong, but only if it is constitutional. At the end of the day, that is all that is required of them.
But our government is full of wicked men who have no regard for the constitution. And no, this does not refer to one party as both party are full of these wicked men who would rather use their power to gain influence and wealth rather than use it for their own responsibility.
Now we have another stimulus package that is in the works. I doubt that any member of Congress will have read the bill when it is introduced on the floor. In fact, I doubt the person who proposes will have read it. It will be written up by various special interest representatives and Congressional staffers and will be designed to prop up organizations that could not make it on their own.
The money will be borrowed from China or printed by the Federal Reserve. In the long term, this will be disastrous for our country and will lead to our ruin. Such policies are what ruin the dotcom bubble and the housing bubble. Another wave of foreclosures and bank failures is coming too, because all the stimulus did was delay the consequences of their poorly managed economic regulations.
Businesses all around the country are cutting expenses, firing people, and cutting paychecks. They do this because they cannot get loans to cover their cash flow issues in the short term. More importantly, they do this in order to buffer themselves from the coming storm.
The last stimulus package was wildly unpopular. The bank bailouts were unpopular. And if the Democrats had any sense, they would not do this. It is time to let the market crash and burn. We will rebuild from the ashes, as that is what Americans are good at. This land was nothing more than a wild, untamed country until we showed up. In less than a century there were cities and industry and farms. The quality of our lives has gone up since then. But we can always reach a peak if the government is telling us what we can and cannot do.
And this is just what they are doing right now. Do not participate in government services anymore. That is what it truly means to be a good, patriotic American.
