The Obama Stash



Who doesn't remember this dialogue between a reporter and a voter in 2009?

ROGULSKI: Why are you here?

WOMAN #1: To get some money.

ROGULSKI: What kind of money? 

WOMAN #1: Obama money. 

ROGULSKI: Where's it coming from? 

WOMAN #1: Obama. 

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it? 

WOMAN #1: I don't know, his stash. I don't know. (laughter) I don't know where he got it from, but he givin' it to us, to help us. 

WOMAN #2: And we love him. 

WOMAN #1: We love him. That's why we voted for him! 

How To Get To The White House In Modern Times:

Run around the country with a great deal of energy and make grand promises that you have no intention of keeping.  Use language meant to impress but that means nothing to no one and count on the media to call it 'brilliant.'  Blame the other guy for everything.  Get Elected.   

Getting to the White House is hard because there are other actors who string useless words together too.  But once there, being president is easy.   Spend money, tell the people you'll spend even more money, tell countries you'll send them any US assets that are moveable, then go play sports and when hell happens say you didn't do it.   Have someone in your party or in a closely knit lobbyist corporate monied position, write your legislation,  pass it using any means necessary, don't let anyone read it, and when hell happens, say you didn't do it.  

"Let me be clear:"
1.)  Obama 2012 budget features 15 new taxes.  He said he wouldn't do it and yesterday he said he didn't do it, but they are in there.  
2.) Obama said he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.  He doubled it half way in and said he didn't do it.
3.) Obama said he would eliminate lobbyists.  He didn't and he said nothing about that.
4.) Obama intends to take over healthcare and say he didn't do it.
5.) War, patriot act, illegal detention, earmarks, TSA, endless loop of taxpayer money to the banks, take over of auto companies and college financing,  shutting down oil drilling, taking over water and air and food and mortgages.

What's left?

Taxes are like termites.  They eat away at our very structure and left untreated, the structure is no more.

  We're going to pay back every nickel of this debt.  We'll be asked to hug the flag, do the patriotic thing, and put a VAT tax in place along with all the other taxes.  There will be no default on no debt, never.  Just a low and lower standard of living.

 The Obama 2012 budget means $10,000 in taxes from everyone.  A family of 5 would owe $50,000.  That's just for one year.  They will one day  add the VAT tax  to reduce the $14 trillion already owed and we are looking at something that is impossible.  That is why this budget and every budget is so serious.   

How different things would be if every time government spent money a bill would go out in the mail to all citizens marked 'due upon receipt.'  Things would change quickly.     We put up with budgets like this, spending like that because we think there really is a secret stash.   An Obama Stash.
