Fiscally Irresponsible Congress and States: Stop Spending Money You Don't Have!

There's one positive thing I can think of in all of this push for health care reform and cap and trade nonsense. I think it won't last long, because I don't think the government is going to have the money to do it. Well, let me put it this way: the people won't have the money to do it, which means the government won't either, and when the government starts printing all the money to make it happen, I think the voters are going to put the kibosh on them as they feel the effects of overwhelming inflation.

Already, voting people are expressing strong disapproval. Certainly Democrats have claimed mandates right and left: as quoted in the "Patriot Post" July 1, 2009, Vol. 9 #26, Nancy Pelosi said on Cap and Trade . . . . "We passed transformational legislation, which will take us into the future. For some it was a very difficult vote because the entrenched agents of the status quo were out there full force, jamming the lines in their districts and here, and they withstood that." --House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Wow, is she abrasive! Conceited too. They "withstood" the voice of the people to their own electoral peril. She ought to learn that just because one is elected, doesn't mean that electoral retribution can't be swift in the years to come. Numbers are quite low for Democrats-I say Democrats because they run Congress now-and they're not listening. Only 18% in a Rasmussen poll (as of June 29, 2009) felt that Congress was doing a good job, while 47% think that congress is doing a POOR job.

Eek. Dare I say a trip to the woodshed in 2010 for Congressional Democrats? I can hope to high heaven so, because Nancy Pelosi doesn't belong anywhere near any kind of leadership in our government. She's making a disastrous mess of things right now. To borrow from terms Democrats use against our own patriots in wartime, this is a spending QUAGMIRE. In the meantime, Obama will be happy it seems to sign just about anything thrown his way as long as it adds to his power and comes from those Lunacrats in charge.

But, if you like government bureaucrats running just about everything, you'd better take several more looks at what you're getting into, and quit being so ignorant. Several states right now running deficits don't have the money to pay all those government bureaucrats.

That's right. Good luck getting paid when you get that cushy government job. You see, government doesn't produce anything. Right now, all certain state governments can afford are IOU's. Go ahead, I'm sure your favorite restaurants will accept IOU's too. Honestly, I don't feel particularly sorry that all the people looking for the public sector to take over everything are finding out that the public sector can't pay them.

And California is one of them! Why on earth does anyone think Nancy Pelosi running the House is a good idea when her own state can't even figure out how to get its own spending under control? When her own state can't even pay its own employees, and the horrible mess the state government has made is the farthest thing from her mind? She should be outraged. But she's not. She's cut from the same cloth. These people are so short-sighted and irresponsible, and yes, conceited. It's a little thing called the "the law of unintended consequences" that is coming home to roost.

One lesson you should learn here is that Marxism/Socialism don't work! They never have, and they never will! You can have all the high-minded, utopian, la-dee-da ideas that you want, but in the end, they have to be practical and affordable at the very least, and ideally, WORK, yes, actually benefit people. But of course, when the Marxists get all their stupid ideas in, they ALWAYS try to find ways to cheat their own system.

So, considering all this, I'm not sure public health care or cap and trade can last very long on the national level, even if they are instituted. Now that the Soviet Union has fallen, the new Barack-iet Union being instituted here won't take long to fall, because the government has already spent all the money. They don't have any! The economy will be so hamstrung, that the people who voted for "Hope" and "Change" will already be looking for real Hope and Change in 2010 and 2012. And that will be a positive thing.

If all the garbage gets instituted by our Congressional wiseacres, please let my predictions be so!
