Forshadowing Obama’s 2nd Term
Life is truly stranger than fiction, especially when it exposes the truth hidden behind the facade and PR. Take these two stories now hitting the political blogs and news sites. The first captures the futility at the core of the liberal economic theories and government trickle down:
The Obama administration distributed $9 billion in economic “stimulus” funds to solar and wind projects in 2009-11 that created, as the end result, 910 “direct” jobs — annual operation and maintenance positions — meaning that it cost about $9.8 million to establish each of those long-term jobs.
Now that is a screw up of biblical proportions. And that $9 billion is now part of the $14 trillion in generational debt Obama, Reid and Pelosi left us for all their mistakes. But if you think Obama has figured it out yet, the second story tells the sad truth:
Obama took in $39.1 million in May and spent $44.6 million, while Romney spent $15.6 million.
Doesn’t that just say it all? Obama is a fiscal juvenile delinquent, running up his parents’ credit cards (We The People) and expecting all of us to clean up after his binge. The picture above really does foreshadow what an Obama 2nd term will result in…
Pain. Severe, long lasting, horrible pain…
Classic! I wonder how long it will take the Obama campaign to realize that they CAN’T print money.
Nine. Billion. Dollars.
Let me put that sum in perspective.
Nine thousand million dollars will buy the following:
Four brand new Aegis missile destroyers to reinforce our badly understrength Navy, or…
70 brand new F-22s, to reinforce our badly aging Air Force, or…
About 2,000 armored vehicles to replace the Reagan-era relics used by the Army.
But No. Obama squandered the money. Pity his folly may cost someone else their lives.
