| Description | During the 2008 election, the media sold Obama on two key points, repairing the economy, and bringing new focus and ideas into the war in Afghanistan. As the summer of 2010 fades, it's painfully clear that Obama has failed completely in both areas.
Obama has come out on the wrong side of the economy. His administration's economic policies are based on the insane notion that the private sector needs to be taxed more in order to fund more government spending. When it's only private sector capitalism that has a shot at reviving the economy, not government spending.
The Democrats mistook their own "tax and spend" rhetoric for reality, tripling the national debt, while ramming through smoking heaps of pork for themselves and their buddies. And so the economy is a disaster area, the public is angry, and the only answer the Democrats have for them is more of the same. But more of the same just won't cut it.
The Democrats want to keep pushing the message that the problem with the economy is that the rich don't pay enough taxes. But that's not the problem with the economy, that's the problem with their spending bills. America isn't suffering from economic problems because the people who actually make money aren't forwarding it fast enough to Washington D.C. That's the problem that Washington D.C. politicians are suffering from. And they're not suffering very hard from it, because their approach is to just spend the money anyway, and turn it into debt for the next generation. |
