Actually Baraq’s followers are living pretty well relative to the value they add to society.
EIC, TANF, EBT, Obamaphones, subsidized cable, school breakfast and lunch, section 8, energy assistance, yadda yadda. All paid for with fake money created by Bernanke and Geithner (now Lew).
The Fedgov is like that family in 2007 riding a wave of false prosperity based on maxxed out credit cards and helocs on a house with negative real equity. Two leased luxury SUVs and a McMansion.
It’s gonna blow, hopefully in the next 4 years, and hopefully Baraq gets the “credit”.
If that happens, he'll declare an emergency, roll tanks in the street, and, with the greatest reluctance, cancel elections and agree to continue in office as an "emergency" measure .... permanently.
