Forget Afghanistan and the globaloney. A bankrupt America stuck in blame-America socialist policies will destabilize civilization.
Obama is now complaining about the $1.2T deficit he inherited (that's 500 + 700) and he blames it all on Bush and he seems to think that the solution is to triple the deficit.
The guy is a kook. His policies are not inadvisable -- they are ruinous.
American isn't bankrupt, it is the richest society in world history, if a bit less rich than a year or two ago. And civilization isn't going away.
I explained several years ago the right tack to take on the unsustainable policies of the left, and it isn't standing on the street corner shouting doom, doom, and betting against the US economy. The US economy has buried everything ever thrown at it with worse policy responses than this, it is a fool's bet. No, the left has no workable foreign policy and no workable sense of security. The right should remind people of that and then wait for the left's feel-good non-policies to fall apart. Notably on Iran.
But short-sighted men think they have to chase yesterday's headlines to be relevant or heard, so they pretend an ephemeral economic circumstance is permanent and all important. It isn't, it too shall pass. After which you'll be left with your partisan hyperbole and the American people won't get what the big deal is anymore. In the meantime, though, with nobody much watching, Obama will have let Iran get nukes while defunding the military etc.
