I have a serious answer to your question, actually: He is a liberal, and he thinks the money will be there.

It sounds like I’m being glib, but I’m really not. A prominent liberal was on Bill Maher many moons ago talking about universal health care, and when asked where the money would come from, his entire argument collapsed when he said, “They’ve got the money!” He pointed to the size of the budget, and said rich people could be taxed at a higher rate, defense could be cut, and they could “cut the waste” from the budget, and there it is, a big pile of money.

Obama thinks that the money will just COME if he goes after it. No matter how the economy shrinks, he thinks there will always be money to take from the rich. Always. They’re rich, they “make” money like plants make oxygen. It just “comes” like the gravy from meatloaf in THE ODD COUPLE.

If they’re honest, a liberal will tell you that you can’t expect them to be so “inside” and know the ins and outs. Rich people hide their cash, but we “all know” it’s THERE. If you squeeze hard enough, they’ll give it to you. It’s not like they’re going to be out on the street. That money’s SOMEWHERE, and if the government looks hard enough, they will find it.

I know this may sound goofy to you, but I’ve known many, many liberals. This is how they think, when they’re being serious.

As we’ve seen, Obama delegates like crazy, because he doesn’t know how government works. He sees his job as providing the Big Picture, the Vision Thing, and everyone else’s jobs as paying for it and making it happen. He is obviously bored with the hard part of government. He isn’t a wonk, he’s a Leader, the guy who gets out of college and instantly wants to run the company when he’s hired to the mail room.

He believes that if they get a bill SAYING the money is there, the money will BE there.

He has thought of where the money will come from for this, and decided it’ll come from wherever any government money comes from, and there’s ALWAYS gonna be more of it from that place...wherever it is.

"He has thought of where the money will come from for this,"

Your anecdotes sound about right.

And it is Hussein's experience. He sat on a board to improve community activist education that was given tens of millions of dollars by rich people. He just passed it out and that was the end of it.

You are right! I’m not sure how many people know that Hawaii has already tried the universal healthcare thing and it was a dismal failure. After less that 6 mos, it had the whole state completely out of money. What happened is the people who could afford their own coverage just stopped using their own insurance and started getting the universal healthcare that was provided to the lower income people. I mean, who doesn’t want healthcare for free or next to nothing??!

Anyhow, it got completely out of hand and they had to shut the whole thing down. I have heard O’Reilly and Rush talk about it on their shows.

Having said all this, do you think the little liberals learned a lesson from this failure? NO. That want to take this failure and go National or hell, why not Global for goodness sakes! It is all about the NWO now anyway isn’t it?

Liberals are good with theory, books and sitting in universities. Out here in the REAL world where it counts, they haven’t a clue.

Good luck with this one Bambi. I’m sure noone will be rationing your healthcare!!!

Very, very insightful comment.

377...

One of the best post I have read in a long time. His magical desire for the money to be their has been delegated to Pelosi/Reid. If the scenario that Walter Zimmerman ( on Glen Beck's radio show yesterday ) plays out, i.e we are on the verge of a depression the revenue will not be their, no matter how hard they tax. The whole bunch of have never created a job, or taken an accounting course from what I see of them. IMHO at that point they can't print our way out of this, people may be awake by then, and their grand scemes just may collapse under their own weight.

I believe Prez O has stated just that....that's how his (and the rest of the liberal DemocRATS up there) current "welfare" plan is doing it, right?
