Another $50 Billion?

So just to be sure I understand, Pres. Obama is requesting over $50 billion more dollars to help get the economy going? How many times have we heard from this President that the economy and jobs is JOB ONE only to be put back once again on the back burner to push cap and trade, health care, etc. This card has been played one too many times and it is becoming almost impossible to take this man seriously.

Why another multi-billion request when over $200 billion of the original "stimulus" has not even been spent? If the stimulus was supposed to save the economy, why spend more? ALL tax dollars spent by Congress comes from earned income. To take more out of an already ailing economy defies logic. By admitting he needs to do more, Obama is undercutting the success of his stimulus boondoggle. Someone needs to tell this man that the purse strings are closed. Why not just get out of the way and let the economy grow as it always has-by providing an environment condusive to hiring, investment,and expansion. Someone needs to tell him and I think November 2nd is time for me to do just that.

I believe that the time is coming in America under Obama where he will just dispense with the formality of wealth creation and he will just do directly to the tax. Forget the working, the deductions, etc.-- let’s just get what the government wants first and leave the pittance to the common folk. Of course this will be for our own good. Fortunately, the time for him to accomplish this is short. In a world in which Obama ruled for the last 20 months, he should’ve been able to ram through all he wanted to legislatively pass. Also fortunate is that Dems know how to turn victory into a temporary two year success.

Whatever inroads the Republicans make this fall, it should be enough to stop the Obama train wreck. The time to be a bystander is over, we must take back the wheel. I firmly believe that even if conservatives don’t take back both or either house of Congress, that it will be enough to stop Obama. Yet it is not enough to just watch the Dems self destruct, conservatives must give the public a reason to know that their vote was not once again misplaced in the hands of a bunch of self-serving power hungry politicians.

What we need now is not another government program as we have seen that once they are taken away, that sector of the economy goes back into the doldrums. Artificial means of respiration does not mean there is a good quality of life. We must and we will get back to what made America great and as Winston Churchill once said, “This will be our finest hour.”
