'Feel Good' recovery

Who among us believes or even thinks that the economic recovery has begun ‘in-force?’ Offer then your proof of said recovery. What is the measure of economic prosperity? What amount of income does one person need to earn in order to be described as economically successful? How much earning power must be stripped away from productive society members in order to make the non-productive and the unwilling societal members economically prosperous? What are you willing to ‘give’ to those who won’t or refuse to produce? The White House and its spin doctors have once again hit the ‘campaign trail’ to tell us about the Emperor’s New Clothes – the Economic 0bamao Recovery. That sell is incredible. For those folks who are unfortunate and have lost their jobs – many have quit looking and have settled for lower-paying even part-time work that barely keeps food on the table. There are those who are still receiving their jobless benefits but are facing the very real probability that no job is available and they will find themselves in the aforementioned status. For those new to the jobless benefits they know that this is not what she or he wants. The net result is disillusionment with the charm, smiles and silvery rhetoric of ‘hope.’ For the sale that exists now is the empty message of ‘hope’ that socialism and a fundamentally changed capitalist system cannot bring. 0bamao is a liar and a misanthrope. He trusts only big government. He doesn’t care what you want or need. He knows there is no economic recovery that will allow you and me to be successful in our own definition of success. His desire is for your success to be tied to your neighbor’s inability to succeed. He wants you to give up the collective difference from who those who have more to those who want more. The problem lies in the fallaciousness of that reasoning. In our system those who own or provide the means of production provide also the jobs that produce tax revenues and economic success for those whom they employ. No government job produces tax revenues that sustain an economy. There must be production of goods and services that are sought by a consumer willing to pay for those good and services. Socialists like 0bamao don’t want that system. They want everyone’s economic salvation to be predicated upon everyone having the same level of ‘junk’ except of course those like him who know best what we need. In the words of Sharon Osbourne, “He’s barking mad.” Sharon would know that definition, she’s married to Ozzie. Realistically we are faced with a dilemma. Shall we be bold and rid ourselves of these ‘fleecers’ in the Fall 2010 midterm elections or shall we stand idly by scratching our heads wondering who’ll step up and ‘do it?’ There is no one else. It’s come down to this we must get our hands dirty, do the heavy and unpleasant lifting of eliminating the trash from our governance process. We won’t get them all in the first sweep but our next sweep will – 2012 can put the socialists into a deep sleep which should be familiar to them since they are somnambulistic dreamers of the 0bamao persuasion who have no cogent thoughts of their own.
