No one can steal a trillion dollars and get away with it – but you could easily flush it down the toilet in an effort to build new railroads, airports and infrastructure. No one knows more about wasting money than the political left, and true to form, Obama has now proposed a new program for wasting money, that will do absolutely nothing to stimulate growth in our service based economy.
So why does he do it? In a word, Labor Unions. This is nothing more than another 50 Billion dollar giveaway for big labor. They have pulled Obama’s strings since the day he entered office, and this latest nonsense is evidence that they continue to do so. In this country, no one can give you a lower return on your ‘investment’ dollar than a labor union. But as Obama’s devotion to them clearly shows, when it comes to buying votes they are the guys to go to.
Personally I don’t know why we even bother pretending that having another bunch of construction guys standing around doing nothing is going to help anyone but them. We should simply dispense with the illusion. In fact, if president Obama would simply announce that he’s going to invest another 10 Billion in Union based voter intimidation and public sector vote buying, I promise to support the effort. If he could be honest enough to tell me the truth, I’d respect him enough to leave him alone about it. But this farce about ‘infrastructure spending’ is just an insult to my, and every other American’s intelligence.
Jimmy Carter was an incompetent president and a shameless anti-semite, but he was a nuclear engineer in the Navy and they say he was a fairly bright guy. So far, Obama on is even more insulting and condescending to America than Carter was, and all he did in the past was ‘organize’ neighborhoods for racial grievance scams. So long as he keeps this up horribly insulting business, his ratings will continue to fall with anyone who is directly funneling money to. They love him at ACORN, the SEIU, and the AFL-CIO, but the rest of us… not so much.

Carter was a naval nuclear officer in the Navy, which is very different from being an actual nuclear engineer. Commercial nuclear power in this country is stagnating primarily because he thought that his experience in the Navy made him an expert on all aspects of nuclear power.
The biggest problem with elites is that they think being really smart in one area makes you really smart in all areas.
Very True.
