28 share
strong interest rating
And the
Utopian spokesman answered: “Because we
had too many of things to worry about.” My thoughts?
What other things, what other
crisis? In two years, they knocked out the 1 trillion dollar
(including interest) Stimulus bill in less than 30 days (signed into law on Feb
17 – Obama took office the previous Jan 20).
Two months later, they passed a
$500 million dollar (including interest) Omnibus bill which completed the
Democrat payback requirements for union and private Democrat donor support as
to the November, 2008, election
victory. ¾ of all the money allocated in
the two bills, combined, when to unions or Democrat entities and congressional
districts.
Also in
2009, Obama violated or struck
down, existing contract law in order to “save”
GM, bilking primary bondholders (police and teacher unions) out of
millions, in order to give control of GM
to the unions.
Within
three years, Chrysler Division was finally sold to Fiat at a loss of well over
a billion dollars to the taxpayers, and the remaining GM stock,
owned by Central Planning, was sold back to GM at a loss of 1.5
billion dollars (yet, the press continued to allow Obama
to tout this as a major success).
In
2009, there was the “cash for clunkers” episode; a scheme
cooked up by the financial geniuses in the Administration, designed to “kick
start” the newly redeemed auto industry. Its budget was $1 billion. It
ran $3 billion over budget with no lasting effect on the economy . .
. . . . and, I mean by saying “no lasting
effect,” to argue that within six months, this scheme was
forgotten history.
Let’s not
forget the 2009 “electric golf cart” scheme. Central Planning set up
a series of tax credits and discounts, making it possible to purchase a 4,000
to 6,000 dollar golf cart for zero cash investment, thinking
somehow, that this was going to add to the fantasy of “economic
stimulus,” and put this nation back on the right
track. Today, this story is seen as
“news,” because no one remembers the golf cart
nonsense, and, five years into Obama’s
“recovery,” we just finished a second recessionary
period, with a 1Q – 2014 GDP report of minus 2.7% and an
economy that cannot generate more than a 2.4% GDP average, over the
long term.
In
2010, Obama Care was signed into law on March 23 and the Dodd/Frank
“too big to fail” financial law was signed on July 21. The website
for ObamaCare is only half complete, at this
writing, with the billing and records portion of the
site, unfinished and inoperable, at the time of this
writing. The bill originally was a 2,700 page document which no read. Today, it
is more than 20,000 and the Administration continues to amend and rewrite this
bill.
Dodd/Frank
remains incomplete, as well, with a report put out on
July 18 of this year, quantifying Dodd/Frank as being 52%
completed.
And that
is it. This is what this bunch of incompetents
accomplished, in two freaking years and without ANY legislative
opposition whatsoever.
Add in
the fact that these clowns have lost two wars, during this
time, sent our military back into the dark ages, as far
as manpower and global readiness, and betrayed virtually every
treatise and friendship we had in this world. Basically, the excuse for not addressing immigration back in 2009, is an appeal to how busy this bunch of reformers, were back in the day.
After looking at their accomplishments or lack thereof, we are [still] left wondering, why in the world was immigration ignored when they could have easily solved the problem years ago.
