Presidential Dishonesty and Other People’s Money, Today at AIP
My new post went up at AIP this morning, but I was remiss in posting it until just now. It’s not very long (let the people say “AMEN!”) but I do tackle the question of why the President is being so incredibly dishonest in his description of what his health care plan will and won’t do. I’m kinder to him than you might think. I also tossed in a couple links at the end I think you’ll find very useful.
Also, Melissa Clouthier’s column is very much worth reading. I won’t give much of it away, but here’s a nice chunk to whet your appetite.
Watching Congress and President Obama spend like this brings to mind a toddler destroying a block castle made by his older brother. There seems to be no thought of consequences and no restraint and no thought to future obligations or pain.
The irresponsible spending whether it be for TARP or mortgage bailouts or health care or really any government program (including buying pork) belies complete disrespect for the producers in this country and total disregard for consequences. The money being spent is real. And the horrible thing is that there is more economic pain to come. Some of the mortgage buy-backs will delay the inevitable. The housing market seems doomed to crater further.
But it’s all no big deal. It’s other people’s suffering just like it’s other people’s money.
