Of his Social Security program, Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that the whole thing had nothing to do with helping the aged. "They were politics all the way through," he said of his Social Security payroll withholding taxes. In other words, the So. Sec. program was created solely to give the Democrat Party a permanent majority on the "we care" ticket. FDR knew from the get-go that the program was an unsustainable sham but it was all about politics, not old people anyway.
Seventy some years later Barack Obama was praised as a second coming of FDR when he ran for office. His promises of everything for everyone were hailed as a second new deal. As we all know the economy took a dive at the tail of 2008, it continued apace into 2009 and once Obama took office he campaigned hard for a "stimulus" plan to lift America from its economic doldrums. It was an "emergency" he said, we couldn't get by without it, he claimed. He cared about all of America, you see, and he, the great father in Washington, had the cure for what ails us. The great god of D.C. loved all his children we were sonorously informed.
Well, maybe not all. You see, just as FDR's "help" only went to further his own political goals and not the country's economic recovery, Barack Obama's benevolence seems to have benefited mostly those that voted for him.
Apparently, the "stimulus" is only stimulating future votes for Obama. Apparently, Obama really is the second coming of FDR...

Not true.
Not true.
It stimulates votes for the entire DNC at all levels of government.
Why the arrogance and attitude?
If they get amnesty through, folks, even if they change the name but give the illegals the vote, we’re cooked. Burned all the way through.
The most transparent thing about this administration is the motivations of this scumbag. It is blatantly obvious that everything he does is radical politics. I’m amazed that the polls still show him with so much popular support. Could the Rats have figured out how to manipulate them like they manipulated exit polls?
Isn’t that the whole idea for pork barrel spending?
