Barack Obama Wants Another $50 Billion Of Something Injected Into America’s Economy

It’s hard to tell what Obama is talking about here.  More rebate checks?  $50 billion more in entitlements?

Who knows.

If Obama is talking about rebate checks, however, that’s an interesting departure from liberal dogma.  After all, if Obama admits that taking money out of government and putting it back in the pockets of taxpayers is good for the economy isn’t he tacitly making the argument for permanent rate cuts in the federal income tax?  Something that would accomplish the same thing Obama wants to do without requiring that Americans first give the government their money so that it can be given back to them (a process costing Americans billions of dollars in and of itself)?

He is, but I’m sure Obama and his fellow liberals will ignore the obvious.  Mostly because with stimulus payments the government is redistributing wealth, and not necessarily back to those who paid it in.  The rebate checks weren’t sent back to Americans in proportion to the amount of taxes they paid in, meaning they weren’t so much “rebates” but rather just a big, fat check from the government meant to buy some votes.

Comments

He said specifically that he supports expanding and extending unemployment benefits, as well as a second round of tax rebate checks.

Barry O is trying to buy votes by using taxpayer money to pay layabouts to layabout.

Obama has also recently proposed a windfall profits tax on the oil companies who currently make 4% of the profit on every gallon of gas. The government gets 15%. The net result will be an increase in what the consumer pays at the gas pump.

During his years as an Illinois legislator and a U.S. Senator, Obama may have racked up the record for tax-increase votes.  He also wants to do away with the tax reduction that has put extra dollars in the pockets of regular Americans for the past several years.

He also believes that increasing government control over the lives of Americans will somehow help. Apparently, the plethora of evidence to the contrary is not sufficient enough.

He does a good job of reading from a telepromptor, so millions of Americans want him to be our next president. That certainly seems to be qualification enough for some people.

Another of his long-time friends and campaign money-men was indicted the other day on fraud and bribes. He really keeps good company.

So let’s see, part of the population wants a guy with friends who are domestic terrorists, crooks, and racists to be our next president.  They don’t care that he will most certainly raise their taxes to the point that they will have to work more than half the year just to pay the government. They want a guy who thinks that the government is the answer to all problems.  They even want a guy who will cause gas prices to go up even more. Am I missing something here?

He can’t hold a normal conversation.
The media has their work cut out for themselves.
