60% of Americans want tax cuts to stimulate the economy, and the President thinks he can do it with federal spending on roads and bridges.\u00a0 Rather than save the jobs that were lost, help the industries that have had to lay off, or directly help those people who have lost jobs, the President suggests those skilled workers go pick up shovels and join highway crews.\u00a0 Nice work if you can get it I suppose.<\/p>\n
After the President’s first press conference, the message is obvious.\u00a0 The private sector will get no help from Washington in rescuing this economy.\u00a0 The help the Left have offered is meaningless and hopelessly out of step with people’s real needs.<\/p>\n
The private sector must look within, use it’s own creative and productive capacities, decide what needs produced and served in America, and proceed to fill those economic needs.\u00a0 The private sector must find the capital, take the risks, reward the entrepreneurs, and create real solutions.\u00a0 In other words, do what only the private sector knows how to do.<\/p>\n
Last night, the President who never actually worked in the private sector all but held a funeral for the American private sector.\u00a0 How would he even recognize a private sector job?<\/p>\n
Washington is a town full of empty suits who’s only skill is an ability to promise to spend trillions of dollars that the country does not have, as fast as possible, to build the American socialist state.\u00a0 Forget that socialism can’t work.\u00a0 Forget that the wealth they intend to spend does not exist.\u00a0 The less American producers enable this madness, the better.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, we still have our freedom.\u00a0 The federal government cannot control us unless we consent.\u00a0 By refusing federal dollars, we refuse our consent to be controlled.\u00a0 If private citizens refuse federal health care programs, the feds will be powerless to stop them from seeking the health care of their own choosing.\u00a0 If private businesses refuse federal money, they will remain masters of their own destiny.<\/p>\n
Obama desparately tried to convince us last night that we are helpless and that the federal government is our only savior.\u00a0 Don’t believe him for a second.\u00a0 The private sector is what enlivens America.\u00a0 Other things being equal, market valuations may indicate the economic value of a private firm.\u00a0 But other things are not equal at this time.\u00a0 At this time we have a majority party in power with the singular message that we have become worthless.\u00a0 What changed in the last year that made us worthless?\u00a0 The Democrats took power.\u00a0 I, for one, don’t believe a word of their message.<\/p>\n
The Democrat message is intended to stampede people headlong into socialism and Obama tells us not to worry too much about the details of his stimulus plan.\u00a0 Do you think this is the governing wisdom that the Americans who put the Left in power really thought they were going to get?\u00a0 I don’t.<\/p>\n
The bloom is definitely off the One’s rose, and what’s left is a thorny totalitarian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
