It’s a shell game and the joke is on us. This administration has far surpassed it’s predecessors for reckless spending and the American people are too stupid to understand what is really happening.
Obama has by far, hands down, been the best friend the banksters have ever seen in the White House. On top of that, he is firmly stuck on the academic dreams of socialism and his policies have further weakened the poor economy he inherited. The rats have not passed a budget for a reason and every year without a budget has seen government spending explode as entitlement spending is not capped. Obama even doubled down on entitlements by ramming a new one down our throats that will further tax the productive.
The joke is on our children because we are dumping this mess on young and future Americans. The left believes we have become more sophisticated than our ancestors, but future generations will view us as the most selfish. We have made quite a mess of things and soon the day of reckoning will be here. There are many scenarios about how it ends, but all of them suck.
Future generations will be too much occupied with getting enough food and shelter to survive to be much concerned with what their grandparents left them. The history they are taught will be totally invented, anyway, as in the last Great Experiment in the old USSR.
Those evil white guys some 225+ years ago had just won a war, but were losing the peace. We had enormous debt without the means to repay. Calls to reestablish a monarchy were heard. The future looked bleak.
If there is a way out, it will once again require the diffused goodness of patriotic Americans to fix our problems.
Just as the congress of 1787 was incapable of reform, it is foolish to think solutions will emerge from today's congress. Then as now, a convention of the states to amend our governing document may be our only hope.
Sums it up nicely. The worst tyranny is that which the citizens willfully elect.
