Why Obama is Dead Wrong on the Stimulus Package
posted March 7, 2009 - 2:26pmPresident Obama is dead wrong on the U.S. stimulus package. The idea is flawed, its execution is impossible, and it's not the business of the government to be doing it anyway.
Let me first hasten to say here that I am not a Republican or a Bush lover. I can't vote in the U.S. elections anyway because I am a disenfranchised American living in a territory where we are not allowed to vote. I thought Bush was a rotten president with a lot of lousy ideas like the war in Iraq.
Obama is wrong about the stimulus package because very simply, the idea is flawed. Where in the world did people get the idea that we can spend our way out of a recession? That is an idiotic idea. If I lose my job, can I run out and max out all my credit cards, spend all my money, and then spend even more to pay my debt? No? then how can the U.S. government do that?
Its execution is impossible. Put into plain English: the government can't spend that kind of money efficiently! Come on, think about it. How long did you stand in line last time you went to renew your license at the DMV? How was the service? Well, apply that same standard to ANY area of government. Government by nature is slow, inefficient, and wasteful. Just look at the fiascos of Iraq, of Katrina, or ANYTHING the government does. Point to me ONE THING that they do right.
It is not the government's business. Now this is where liberals are all wrong. You see, government produces nothing. Now, that is not bad. Government is not meant to be in the business of producing anything. Governments are set up to one thing: govern. That is, they are meant to protect property, quell crime, guard against invaders and terrorists, and provide a level playing field where we all compete. But produce? No. Government is a necessary parasite to be fed, not a cash cow to be milked.
Why do people think that somehow the government can make money out of thin air? Our bloated and inefficient system is just a mess. It has been twisted into the biggest, most bumbling machine that the world has ever seen, one that takes money from people who earn it and gives it to lazy bums who don't.
Obama is living on wishful thinking. His "hope" machine is in fact a fog machine, obscuring how ridiculous his solutions are. They are not solutions. They are idiocy.
