SHOCKING: NEW YORK TIMES WORRIED ABOUT U.S. GOVERNMENT'S "DEBT BOMB"
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | November 23, 2009 | Matthew Burke

Shocking, but true! The ultra-liberal New York Times is concerned about the national debt and deficit spending? I can't believe my eyes! This ranks right up there with Socialist France, formerly Communist Russia, and Communist China warning our government that they're spending too much money. Has the "Old Gray Lady" awakened to the realization that money doesn't grow on trees?

They are waking up and realizing that the life boats are full. These “Eletists” are going to sink or swim with the rest of us and they are starting to mess their pants.

They are just carrying more water for Obama who will say the same thing in his state of the union address next month. And they are setting the stage for Obama’s massive tax increases that will come after the mid-terms. The Chinese gave Obama the word, get your deficits down or we will throw your country into economic chaos.

So it’s not just Social Security about to pop but also the pension obligation for Federal employees.

It looks to me like nobody but a handful of millionaires is insulated against the coming fiscal armageddon. I think it is only just starting to sink in that being a loyal holier-than-thou liberal is not going to magically exempt one from the consequences of the Cloward Piven strategy.

I would say the first richter-scale political shocks will be felt when congress can’t extend unemployment benefits any further. That’s when the pitchforks and torches will start to come out.

“Has the “Old Gray Lady” awakened to the realization that money doesn’t grow on trees?”

Nope. It isn’t. It is one of the beginning salvos in a campaign to raise taxes. Money, you see, grows on taxpayers. Especially the rich ones.

We got it New York Behind The Times. Thanks just the same, though.

Now go back to your regularly scheduled crap.

Their “concern” precedes their impending support for the proposed war tax.

Yeah, tax cuts and stop the stupid spending!

But it appears that Obama wants America to go broke and be in full crisis mode, while he makes his buddies and the unions rich.

It’s really not too soon to start talking impeachment. The paper trail wouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Just “follow the money”.

"But it appears that Obama wants America to go broke and be in full crisis mode, while he makes his buddies and the unions rich."

Just remember what Slow Joe Biden said; and yes, this is an actual quote:

"We may be wrong, but the point is, we believe in what we’re doing."
