An awful lot of people, maybe a majority, think that the government creates wealth by printing dollars and that the government can pay for anything by printing more of them. Many of these same people also believe that the government has to raise taxes some or how else are they going to pay for everything? Liberals and public school grads seem quite capable of believing several mutually contradictory things simultaneously.
The party of the Democrats has veered a long way from ‘ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country’. I’d love for someone to repeat that to Obama and ask him how he reconciles Kennedy’s vision with his own. Caroline herself said Obama reminded her of her father. Sounds like she didn’t know her father very well as he died when she was quite young. She must have just meant young and charismatic.
