   Too many have forgotten the high pressure pitch that we were given to pass the stimulus package within the first three weeks of Obama’s administration or who knows what was going to happen.  Three and a half months later, over ninety-five percent of the money is still not being distributed, yet somehow the economy is showing some signs of recovery without the money!  This was the cry of every true conservative that spoke on the issue, the economy will recover with the passage of time because we have the greatest economy ever devised.  The needless money will be distributed, strapping the next ten generations with debt that they will never repay but of course, the Obama administration will take the credit, the news media will give him the credit and the One will have saved the world from destruction.  Absolute garbage. 

   The Republican bank plan is just as bad.  Banks that received TARP money are not lending it or they are spending it on bonuses for their wonderful administrators.  Money continues to be straight jacket tight and not accessible to most who need it, never mind want it.  As predicted by conservatives, it won’t do anything in a timely fashion to exhibit the change sold to Congress and the public.  But the housing market is still improving, financed mostly by banks who didn’t receive any TARP funds.  Who’d have thunk it!

   But now, let’s allow government to run healthcare because its track record past and present is so good.  I easily join the chorus that says it’s not going to work.  I have a successful Canadian business friend who says he is enjoying watching the once powerful U.S. attempt to implement the socialistic systems that their government did and now are trying desperately to get rid of.  Getting rid of something the government starts is like believing that a tax will disappear once the need it was created to meet is completed.  It’s not going to happen.  Add to the list, the Democratic claims of the past fifteen years that all conservatives are doing is whining to the wind when we warned that Social Security and Medicare will  be bankrupt.  Never happen they said.  We’ll borrow the money from Social Security.  It’s O.K.  We’ll be able to pay it back.  Now their own Democratic Reporting Bureaus say in four years they will both be out of money.  Wow!  Didn’t see that coming.  Four years is when the greatest number of baby boomers will be entitled, their term not mine, to receive these benefits.  Keep in mind, President Obama said emphatically, under my plan no one who makes less than $250,000 will experience one dollar of tax increase during my administration (paraphrase).  So, no one in that income bracket will pay the necessary tax increases to provide the aforementioned benefits, or none of them smoke so they won’t have to pay the taxes proposed on smokers, or none of them use electricity whose rates will go up dramatically with his Cap proposals?

  Who can you believe?  Likely no one whose been in government long enough to be initiated into the way things are done around here and if they don’t buy in, they are blackballed to obscurity.  Maybe term limits have some value after all.
