Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
All of which goes to prove the wisdom of the Founders of America and of the great moral philosopher, Adam Smith whose 1775 "Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" laid out the case for freedom of individual enterprise and limits on the power of self-appointed "rulers" who would spend and tax under the guise of "helping."
"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322
"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40
Bad chart.
It needs to show jobs LOST as well as jobs created.
:)
(As well as the food stamp column.)
This is how a socialist builds his dictatorship; Creating a scenario where the masses rely on him for their sustenance. Lack of jobs is NO accident. It’s required for the dictatorship to take hold. 0bama HAS been successful at one thing; implementing his ‘Cloward & Piven’ strategy of gently collapsing America’s economy without making it appear too obvious. The feeling of stagnation and that 0bama has simply allowed the down slide to occur without being proactive about reversing it is in the air, but only a small percentage of Americans know that what he is doing is INTENTIONAL; The Cloward & Piven strategy requires willful negligence, even during terrorist attacks on our Embassies. The Dictator’s media is always there to cover for him.
He is correct. Far more people have gone on disability and food stamps than have dropped off of unemployment.
