The big news today is the Rolling Stone article about General McChrystal. I don’t really have much to add about that situation. I think Jonah Goldberg’s take on the whole thing seems the most reasonable. Anyway, I’m not writing about that story. The real story for me today is that fact that the Democrat-led Congress isn’t going to submit a budget.
Finger-pointing has become the hallmark symbol of this administration
While this is hardly a new tactic, please remember that in 2006 the Democrats promised to run a more open and transparent government. Instead of improving on their Republican counterparts the Democrats have been a disaster running Congress, not to mention extremely opaque in their governance. Many of the Democrats elected in 2006 ran as fiscal conservatives. Since 2006, spending has skyrocketed. What exactly have the Democrats accomplished the past four years? Why would anyone vote to maintain this leadership?
Democrats seem intent on proving their unworthiness to lead Congress in even its most basic tasks. At the same time, their leadership wants voters to trust them to make the most personal of decisions in their health care, as well as believe that they can cool the planet and lower the sea level with punitive taxes on energy production and boondoggles in alternative energy. They can’t even govern themselves.
I know the Left doesn’t care but the Republicans should get their platform in order. While the Republicans were asleep at the fiscal switch the Democrats had no problem with spending us into oblivion. It was Congressman Barney Frank and other Democrats who fought tooth and nail to maintain the status quo at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Senator Chris Dodd and Rep. Frank belong in jail along with all the other criminals.
This is the face of change.
The Republicans aren’t much better, but bad always looks better when it’s compared to evil. The Democrat political agenda is at odds with most of the American people. Most Americans don’t want amnesty for illegal immigrants. Most Americans are opposed to ObamaCare. Most Americans are opposed to the Climate bill. These are the three biggest priorities for the Democrats and President Obama. Well, that and labeling anyone who disagrees with the agenda as racists wing-nuts.
Until liberals come up with some better ideas they’re not fit to govern the United States. Frankly, the progressive fascination with Utopia is a threat to the Republic and is sending us down the road to tyranny. The nation is already burdened with debt from Left’s old ideas. There simply isn’t enough money left to pay for everything bureaucrats have imagined. The reason Democrats can’t pass a budget before the election is because they know no one will like it. The Democratic majority in Washington is the greatest bait and switch in my lifetime.
