A colony on the moon will no doubt lead to thousands of new 'private sector jobs' for Americans. So too will a tunnel across the Atlantic, and genetically engineering horses into unicorns. But that doesn't make any of them worthy of an 'investment' by our government.
What idiotic vanity this all is. I listened to the President's speech today about his plans for 'investment in our future." What utter nonsense. We're actually hoping (or pretending to hope) that an economically illiterate man from Chicago and his gaggle of socialist political advisers would have any idea what would be a good 'investment' for Americans? Does anyone seriously believe that this is all going to work out fine?
If you're saying to yourself, "Tom - you're being a little tough on the president, isn't 'illiterate' a little overstated?" The answer is absolutely no. Obama is as economical illiterate as any 10 year old. you can hear it clear as day in how he speaks about the economy. He acts as if the only thing we need for everything to work out fine is good intentions about the environment, and a strong labor union. In the meantime, he's never had a job where he's had to actually produce anything. He's never run anything. He's never had a bottom line to meet, or a profit to produce. And he speaks like all of that happen by itself, as if by magic.
Unions love government projects because up to now, no one has ever cared how much they cost. Decades spent building a 5 lane bridge across the Delaware... no problem. Billions poured down a hall in Boston... no problem. With no one caring and almost no one even watching, the money has always just flowed. That's the world Obama comes from...where 'cost' is the very last thing you ever consider. consequence is irrelevant, it's intention that matters.
Now we're standing on the precipice of nationwide economic apocalypse thanks to decades of their ridiculously loose spending, and this guy expects to be able to go back to the well again. It's truly insulting.
It's really time for reality to reach Washington DC. We really can't afford any more self congratulatory idiocy. If the finally get it now, then there is still a small chance that we can save this whole mess - but time is definitely up. We can't afford anymore "High speed Rail/Green Job/Unicorn/Rainbow bills." those days are all over. We can either wake up and smell the coffee - and I mean today, or we can prepare for the end. That's all we have left. Either we fix it, or we end it.
10 years. If we go the direction that Obama has laid out, we won't last another 10 years.
