Capitulation is a term being increasingly used against the GOP in reference to their role in the budget debates of Washington. One poll claimed high favor for Boehner and his role in getting budget cuts; easily he slaughtered Obama and Reid. Obama then delivers a speech that essentially redefines the budget debate. Some Republicans were rightfully credited for attempting to protect military pay against a shutdown. Obama insisted that military pay would be directly affected by a shutdown; Reid was completely indifferent to whether or not military would be paid for their efforts defending America. What people do not realize is that Boehner refused to take the military pay issue off the table. Simply put, the troops were not protected against a federal shutdown and all three are directly responsible for this.
So, the blind, unconditional GOP supporters can credit the Party for their contributions to the budget reductions all they want, but they should know that things are not as they appear!
A very recent CBO report details a far more telling reality than these Republican voters may be a bit less willing to admit to. Net spending under these debates actually decreases by less than $350 million! It is clear that the Obama Administration’s spending addiction is destroying the American economy; that, there is no question about and it is unarguable even by the most devout Obama supporter. If the previous “budget cuts” were considered to be a drop of water in the sea, the reality is that they are more like a single droplet of steam escaping into the atmosphere. Whom can we thank for this? Boehner, Obama and Reid (arguably in that order). Given the direction of cited future “investments” during the period in which spending is to decrease, balancing that against the $350 million true spending cuts, while holding that against skyrocketing interest rates of those whom we are indebted; what we discover is that we have actually caused more economic damage with this budget than we have improved our economic position.
I know we blame Bush for the spending. It is a favorite (and accurate) claim for Obama supporters! What they do not state is that Obama voted in favor of Bush spending increases 100% of the time. So when blaming Bush, Obama is actually being blamed as well. It came as no surprise when he went spending crazy. What Bush did not do is spend America into unsustainable levels which the nation may never be delivered from: Obama did that in less than an eighth of the time it took Bush to embrace economic fascism. But, there is more.
One of the first things we collectively teach our children as they begin to enter their adult years (sooner for many), is that a person cannot spend their way out of debt. Such logic defies all economic principles, yet far too many accepted such an incredibly poor economic planning by the Obama Administration. This could be for a myriad of reasons ranging from the ideology of entitlement where the more the government spends, the less a person has to do to be rewarded for doing nothing; to a blatant double standard deeply rooted in hypocrisy to laud the efforts of an inept president that a person supported. Assess the latter and you will see what I mean.
Many Obama supporters today, default to the fact that Obama won the presidential race. Their comments consist of “He is president, so deal with it.” never taking into consideration, or downright denying how flawed a policy or position may be. Such blind followership is born out one insisting not upon themselves, but finding a deliverance of ego through the least resistible means; completely unrelated facts. Unfortunately, this exemplifies how an Obama supporter will go intellectual miles out of their way to find a concept of being right to cling to. It is reminiscent of “Stockholm Syndrome,” and that is scary. These people would not allow such flawed concepts in their personal lives while they in turn passively support his actions through the most rudimentary and dissociative means available.
Clearly, an individual household that would seek to run their home and personal lives in the same manner in which Obama is running America would fail. If you do not believe me, or truly support it, try it yourself. Go into debt at rates that double what you generate monthly or annually in terms of income and begin paying off your debt with credit at ever increasing interest rates and see just how long it takes you fall into complete financial collapse. Only a fool or someone who wishes to economically destroy their “home” would do such a thing; take your pick. The only people who would take interest in such debt are those who wish to see the home the destroyed! By “investing” in this home, the other ensures its increasing weakness. By not investing into the home, the home may be forced to recover through means of economic and fiscal prudence, discipline and responsibility returning it to an even stronger position after demonstrating more responsible fiscal practices over time which would inherently blossom into new and better future opportunities. If an entity wishes to not see such a household strengthen over time, they will allow the economic enslavement to continue by buying their assets and allowing them the perception that the assets remain in the home. In doing this, they are not investing in the home; they are investing in their position above the home because they are enabling the self-destructive fiscal practices to continue. The day will come when they will call in the debt and the home will instantly implode with no economic means of self-efficiency in which to continue or even sustain itself. This is economics 101 people, not rocket science.
It has been interesting watching the partisan support through the budget crisis. Wrongful credit has been applied to the GOP’s leadership and the support of the Obama Administration has been moronic to say the least. Everyone has lost and some are (to put it bluntly) either too stupid, or too selfish to understand what is happening.
We have just watched the Washington D.C. Mayor and several District officials arrested for protesting the (incomplete) budget deal. What do you think they were actually protesting?
D.C. is not a state, it is a true District, and due to this, the District falls directly under federal law as it has not the state laws to buffer it from legislation. In the budget deal, abortions in D.C. saw direct budget cuts and the District, led by its leadership went up in arms to protest the “budget deal” of less spending. Not hard to figure out what sparked their ire, nor is hard to figure out that the sense of entitlement trumps what is best for the nation as a whole. It epitomizes how clueless of a nation we have become and just how easy it will be for America to now be toppled by means of its own economic ignorance through its newly Obama Administration delivered entitlement mentality.
The fact of the matter is that the GOP had an opportunity to begin to slowly deliver America away from certain economic disaster. By not placing values first, they have failed miserably! Many Republicans have been criticized for not agreeing with the conditions of the budget. They were right for not. Our government’s and the Obama Administration’s addiction to spending will, with no uncertainty, deliver America into economic peril and failure. What is needed at this juncture is economic radicalization to decrease spending; nothing less. Americans must realize that the time has come for the individual to make and find a way and no longer allow handouts from government to sustain them in their times so called need. Look at this way, unemployment is at 10%; now open your local newspaper and view the help wanted ads. We can blame Obama all we want, but a portion of the unemployment conundrum belongs to We the People! This is due to this sense of entitlement and until these incentives to fail are removed, we will not be delivered from our perils: This is the “hard” choice that needs to be made, it is unfortunate for all that the Obama led Modern Liberal lacks the courage and intestinal fortitude to make the call. The GOP has identified this very clearly, both strategically and tactically created the scenario in which to implement fiscal responsibility and with historic cowardice, caved to the Obama regime of internal economic destruction.
When venturing deeper into the problem we find that the Obama Administration is a true reflection of the American people. A government that ignorantly set its sights on economic failure by wishing to spend that which it cannot sustain. If this were not true, the credit crisis, nor the housing crisis would have been so devastating. We have seen an elected Democrat state that she could not afford a delay in the delivery of the due portion of her $178,000 salary while supporting the troops not being paid. This is to suggest that while at the upper levels of the American income, she has found a way to live paycheck to paycheck: In other words, too much debt! Though the true and average American supported the pay of troops continuing through a shutdown, they have encumbered themselves with unmanageable and unsustainable debt levels. It was due to this lack of financial responsibility that weakness in solvency of many Americans was exploited. In turn, we allow the government to go on an unprecedented spending spree to rescue the consumer whose debt crisis was the result of not living within their own means. We wish to practice this fiscal irresponsibility while we criticize Obama and his administration for doing the same? This hardly seems fair, but it is a true case for many of the pot calling the kettle black! Such criticisms should be reserved to those who can suffer the loss of a job and sustain their way of life for six of seven months without their primary source of income. Of course we do look at it this way because we are more apt to complain and accuse than we are to take personal inventory of accountability and our individual role in the plight of America.
Sure, Obama is to blame, his administration is to blame, the GOP and their leadership are to blame, but at the same time, the American people are to blame as well. If the government were to force financial prudence on the people, we would complain about its intrusion. If the people fail because of their personal fiscal practices which government then mimics, we complain about government’s lack of fiscal responsibility. Really; how many ways can we have it once?
I understand the frustration that many feel with both government and Obama’s incompetence, but it is crucial that all are aware of where these problems started. When the consumer is foolish enough to believe that keeping up with Jones’ and living beyond their means through credit is right thing do; there lies some culpability with the American consumer while accepting the fact that government’s practices of today are in part an irresponsible extension of inept consumer response to the absolution of individual responsibility. It is foolishly that we believe the individual impact of the sole person does not collectively hinder the whole of the people. Until we figure that out, for America; there is little economic hope.
