Government Does Not Create Wealth

Surprised? Well, listen up. All the government can do is take away one person’s money and give it to someone else. The only other thing they can do is print more money.

Can you say “$40.00 for a loaf of bread”?

Obama’s latest spending spree to create or “save” 600 thousand jobs is nothing more than a shell game of “watch the pea.” You tell me how to quantify a job “saved”. You can’t because it is based on nothing but air. And the so-called jobs “created” are make-work temporary jobs.

Hand out federal money to hire more police for some community you’ve never heard of? I’ve witnessed that before. When the money runs out, the extra officers are laid off. Additional money is then needed to pay for their unemployment. It will be a real boon to our economy for our tax dollars to fund 125 thousand summer jobs for teenagers. /sarc

Of course, this is the big headline today. I’ve talked about distractions before and this smells like a distraction rotting in the compost pile. While the Kool Aid drinkers rejoice over all these magical jobs, our current president is hard at work on the biggest takeover of our freedoms – evah! Health care reform…

Keith Hennessey has a pretty good breakdown of the bill. Read it and weep for what may become of our once great nation.
