Obama’s America: Killing private business, bailing out state and local governments
The Examiner ^ | 06/13/10 | David Freddoso

Posted on 06/14/2010 7:10:28 AM PDT by george76

Obama’s Interior Department, using lies to justify its offshore drilling moratorium, is already in the process of killing off as many private-sector jobs as any number of jobs bills could create.

Meanwhile, we’re bailing out state and local governments that spent too much in boom times and got too cozy with their unionized workforces.

The problem: At some point, the host organism is going to die. We can’t all work for the government, because someone has to produce something useful for government to tax.

Well, Mr. Obama is, after all, an empty suit. He knows positively nothing about business, nor do most of his closest advisors.

The Pubbies have got to take back control of the House at least to prevent the nation from falling into an abyss.

Mr. Obama couldn’t find water if he fell out of boat.

Well, they know enough to be killing off business very efficiently...never underestimate the enemy. These folks know exactly what they are doing.

How in the world do we dis-connect here? Liberals receive campaign money from Unions to get them re/elected and then their “friends” come in to “negotiate” a contract with a public entity, and surprise, they get great retirement and health care packages. Duhhhhhh

What’s really sick and evil is impact the drilling moratorium will have on the entire economy. On the local level, the manufacturers of new equipment and now idled. Manufacturers of replacement parts are in trouble. But the hidden damage will be with all the suppliers to the manufacturers, grocery stores, retaliers, and on and on. It will be a nasty ripple effect. Long term, all products made from petroleum products will become much more expensive.

Propane and butane
Gasoline
Diesel
Avaition fuel (jet A)
Heating oil

Essentially the fuel that feeds the engine of our economy is about to become real expensive and in short supply. I was “lucky” enough to live through the gas lines, $10 maximun purchases, and odd and even days. I worked for a car rental company and my job was to sit in gas lines all day to fuel up the fleet. Loads of fun.

The barking Obama is the enemy of freedom in any form.

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
