Looking at the above chart should make all of us, conservatives and progressives, feel proud that we in Nevada County are not contributing much to the national debt burden. In a year and half, we have only been given a skosh more than $1.5M of the American Redistribution and Re-election Act money. You remember that supercritical ARRA stimulus the one if it didn’t stimulate the country right then and there, over that particular weekend, well hell, we’d all be up a creek without a paddle. Now more than a year later, it turns out that the Chief Community Organizer was just joshin’.
But wait a minute. In the meanwhile he and his honorables in Congress have managed to do a lot of other spending to keep the country in crisis. The latest coming down the tube is “The American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act” – no I’m not kidding. This is “a tax-hiking, spending-exploding, job-killing, deficit-hiking wonder”, and a piece of pure unadulterated crap, most certainly not suitable for my septic tank. But it doesn’t matter when most of the voters keeping those dufuses in office can’t read, and the other half don’t care. We get what we deserve.
[update] Apropos to all this is an email from an RR reader that delves into our deeper problem. It’s not important whether the message really came from the Czech Republic or not because many people in other lands have the identical sentiment and concerns about America’s ability to maintain a direction that continues to benefit the world. That message is presented as received.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
