The opening 70 days of the Obama Administration have demonstrated a clear-cut AGENDA that is being put in place under the guise of saving the economy. Nothing could be further from the truth. There’s no concern for the purported ‘little people’ or ‘the poor.’ This is all about a political agenda directed against our Capitalist system. It’s open, it’s blatant and in our faces – and those pushing it through know there’s nothing we can do about it.
The Stimulus Bill should have been the first indicator. That bill was ready too quickly, rushed through Congress without time to read or debate and wrapped debt around our necks this country has no hope of EVER repaying. Generations are going to be saddled with what was done here with that bill. When the smoke cleared and people were able to start digesting the bill we found there were many parts that were unconstitutional – even to the lay observer – and there were many parts that were poorly considered before being added – handing out the AIG bonuses for one. In the end analysis there was almost NO stimulating of the economy being done as a result of the bill. Trillions will be spent on pet projects, but virtually nothing will be spent to save the economy.
The Healthcare Agenda should have been a dead giveaway that this AGENDA was all about creating a Socialist State here in the United States. The foundation was laid in the Stimulus Bill. Many of the provisions will allow for the formation of additional systems to facilitate the new Universal Healthcare System. Again, all completed without real debate in Congress.
Partisanship was on display as never before as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in their respective chambers pushed through the bill. Debate was stifled and NO discussion was allowed from Republicans in committees, often times refusing to allow Republicans to even take part in the meetings at all. A bill that was truly trying to save the economy would be open for ideas from anyone who had a good one; those meetings were closed.
More proof?
Sure. How about a ‘Procurement Assessment Bill?’ That’s a bill that subjects ALL military spending to intense scrutiny. While we are busy throwing BILLIONS at government agencies to change over to ‘green technologies’ we are going to slow and impeded equipment developments and deployments to the only government agencies doing anything positive – the military. That fits perfectly in line with the stated Leftist agenda to strip our military to virtually defenselessness in the name of cutting costs. Really? Cutting costs? If you want to do something positive in a time of war to cut costs, cut out the ‘green technologies’ that are nothing more than a way to pump money to contributors of the Democrat Party. Those technologies are proving less and less useful every day as reports are generated as to their ineffectiveness – like the fluorescent curly light bulbs that are being forced on us all. The light bulbs do not work nor do they last very long – and they also have to have a hazardous response team show up at your house if you break one. Those reports, by the way, are ignored in the press and in our government because they don’t fit the agenda.
One of the most recent indicators is the manipulation of the oil development prohibitions pushed through Congress last week. If the government was really concerned about the economy they would do their best to keep oil prices at their lowest at least until the economy has recovered from our Recession. Instead, they took two million more acres off-line which will have the opposite effect it had last year when we put more land online for development and started the price tumble. That, however, would not feed their agenda of forcing the price of oil higher and pushing all of us into cars that get marginally better gas mileage and will cost us tens of thousands more to purchase and keep up.
This is all about a punch-list AGENDA that is being forced down our throats. It was the Chief of Staff for President Obama who said, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” It appears the Obama Administration is making full use of the current economic downturn to force through their agenda before our crisis gets better with no assistance from them and passes – then they’ll have to go back to scaring Americans with their old standbys to try to create panic to force through more of their agenda.
