Oh hell no!!

Wait, did I hear Obama correctly? The government is the only ones who can get us out of these economic tough times? Oh hell no.

I have tried to stay very positive about President Obama. I have been impressed with some of his Executive Orders since taking office. But those were not law, there were merely orders to his administration on how they will conduct business.

I haven't even said much when some of those Executive Orders and promises were not followed. Lobbyists have been selected for high positions and he signed two bills without posting them on the White House website as promised. Some of this stuff takes time, I understand that.

But now we get into the area where the President and I totally disagree. Government are NOT the ones to get us out of this economic down turn. Industry and business will get us out of it Mr. Obama.

Even if the entire $800 billion were to be put in the country infrastructure, this would not guarantee us a way out. Once that money was spend we would either have to spend more (which will probably happen) or all those that went to work on roads and bridges would be laid off. The ones who would get rich on this deal are those that run the contract companies that get the contracts.

But as we all know most of that $800 something billion is going towards pork barrel spending that will do NOTHING to jump start this or any economy. Most of it will just make WE THE PEOPLE more dependent on the government instead of themselves. That will mean more people taking government handouts and less people working and paying taxes.

Don't you get it...it will make the situation WORSE not better.

I know some of the social program funds are needed. The extension of the Unemployment Benefits for one. But even this is putting the money into the pockets of the people, not into the pockets of those in government or those that are contractors.

Once again our elected folks in Washington looked the other way as nearly 50% of WE THE PEOPLE were against the stimulus.

A friend sent me an email. The title was "What Form of Government Do We Have?" I am going to post the link to the video at the end of this little rant. But for now, answer the question. What form of government do we have? Well, its obviously not a dictatorship. Its not a Monarchy.

Most people say its a democracy and that answer is dead wrong.

Watch the video and decide for yourself where we are and where we are headed.
