President Obama has a plan for the nation, or at least for
a re-election campaign- renew cheer-leading for Bush era tax cuts excluding the wealthy with a snowball's chance in hell of passing through Congress. That
would let the President cave in at the last minute again in return for peanuts
for his Chicago supporters and possibly the gay union to include the rich in tax
cuts for another two years. The cost of another Obama Administration term would be at least another 5 trillion dollars of public debt. The national unemployment rate has remained above 8% and may get worse if any of several economic dangers arise including global warming events.
Long ago when Barrack Obama was a young lad growing up in
Indonesia and later Hawaii, the Democratic Party was a realistic advocate for
the economic rights of the poor. Democratic leaders were not sycophants signing
off on tax cuts for the rich now and then. Neither did they demote the
interests of the poor and regard them as illegal aliens or first generation
American Hispanics prevalently. Democratic administrations were not drunk on
the champagne of celebrity and glitter of stars and globalism; they were able
individuals with a sober view of national interests and practiced real-politick
post-World War Two that brought about the rise of prosperity of all classes of
Americans.
The Soviet Union formed during the lead up to the First
World War. Since the U.S.A. made its wrong decision a century ago to invest in
foreign wars the need to battle against political situations of its own
creation has been a recurrent theme of political class. That unaffordable
policy ought to stop, as should abortion of the health of the world ecosphere
yet the President has no apparent capacity to escape from a political economy
of cephalic idiocy put upon him by his Rasputin Cohort of Advising bankers
seeking to just concentrate wealth as bankers occupationally do.
The President might have mentioned the heresy of making
banks non-profit institutions and been convicted of impeachable offenses of course,
yet he hasn't taken even simple steps to reduce unemployment such as halting
all illegal immigration so the labor market can tighten up and wages rise in
the U.S.A.
Because the broadcast media is owned by the rich with the
Gay Pride C.N.N. and M.S.N.B.C. on the left and Rush Limbaugh on the right the
non-party political system seems a fact with idiotic, unreformed market
economics plundering social reality nationally and globally the usual advocate
for elevation of short term profits to the front of the political agenda.
Rush Limbaugh mentioned that the poor receiving food
stamps haven't enough pain. Pain is some sort of incentive that people require
to look for work in Mr. Limbaugh's view. Some of his ideas are a big pain
for-others of course, yet it is the fact that he hasn't any meaningful competition
that allows him to concentrate wealth and bespeak road apples of ignorance on
environmental affairs.
Without reform of the broadcast media such that all
Americans can have a time slice on a local frequency via the Internet the
concentration of political power through the corruption of the rich owning the
broadcast spectrum isn't likely to change. President Obama hasn't taken a step in
that necessary direction either. He seems to be contemplating how to add
another five or ten trillion dollars of public debt for the next generation to
struggle with if he can get re-elected.
