JDC Government Machinations: Evaluating anything is always subjective except when it, and whatever it is, is in black and white. Of course, one may still wish to come to whatever conclusion in order to feed an emotional need at any point in time.
The lack of cash flow on Main Street and no economic improvement has voters looking to the 2012 elections to vent their disapproval of the current administration's ability to solve anything. Is this fair?
Ending physical year 2008, under President George Bush, the debt ratio was 3.2% of the economy GDP. In 2009 with President Obama's bailout programs, debt rose to 10.9%. In 2011 alone, the current administration has incurred an additional 3 trillion 600 billion without any offset for spending cuts.
The difference between what is taken into government coffers and spent must be plugged by borrowing money at enormous interest rates. Money and rates the American taxpayer cannot afford, and did not bargain for when they pulled the lever in the election booth in November of 2008.
Subject to debate is the spending arrogance of the White House to fulfill one man's ideology that has frustration and anger festering as to the upcoming debt owed. . .15 trillion dollars; a recorded daily changing figure that supersedes the aggregate total of all past administrations combined in less than three years.
Yes, these funds were smoothly lifted out of the taxpayer's pockets yielding no positive results as jobs remain stagnant, and economic growth overall, spurts, fizzles and goes south, while the Dow like a yo-yo forecasts a dim view on recovery.
This is the Obama economy and has been from the moment he took the Oath of Office. Newsmax's Moneynews reports: "Are You Ready for Dow 7,000?" . . ."the U.S. economy has fallen flat on its face. In short, unlike the last crisis, there is nothing more policymakers can do this time around. The course of market and economic history has already been charted. . ., and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has a date with 7,000." Ugh!
Our biggest danger is: the White House postition, is not for on-the-job-training. Are you and I pretending the man occupying the office at 1600 Pennsylvania isn't ruining our country? Do you and I put blinders on pressured by political affiliations rather than facing reality that our checkbooks and our quality of life and freedom is progressively diminishing? Do we continue on the road with a man liked, and once endowed with the magic of words, who has failed in his capacity to handle the job for which he was entrusted by millions?
It takes more than a will and desire to make changes for the better good. Experience and understanding of how our system works in connection with its original purpose endowed by our forefathers must be a prerequisite to opening the door of the most powerful position in the world - The President of the United States.
Any failure as to "insight of understanding," or any deliberate actions based on self-motivated reasoning by any president, can do nothing but bring disgrace and a downfall to what hopefully still remains and can remain the greatest country and republic. . .The United States of America.
And now, sadly, a land where currently Lady Liberty sheds a tear into the New York harbor, still holding her torch brightly to keep the gateway to freedom a reality and as a reminder that: it is man who is the United States, and it is man who will destroy it unless. . .???
