Obama killing the economy... on purpose?

For today’s post I wanted to confront Obama’s job on the economy. Well, it goes a little off topic at the end, but for now we’ll stick with that. I’ve found out that there’s a lot of controversy about it – even Glenn Beck is discussing this topic. Is Obama doing this to the economy on purpose? Is he trying to destroy the economy? There are a few sides to this.

A friend of mine thought that he’s doing this to control the people. When the economy goes to the trash (further than it has already), he can say, “Look where that old system got you,” and take over, right? The government is already trying to take power more than they’re entitled, so I wouldn’t be terribly surprised.

What will happen then, though? Will the people rebel? Another person I spoke to pointed out that the people typically blame the person in charge for what happens to them. If word gets out that this is Obama’s doing, which is my purpose, the people will be angry and rebel against him, possibly even try to impeach him for destroying the economy.

But what will we do? We need a leader to unite us if the economy dies, but who do we turn to? There’s no one among the politicians that we can trust. We’d be lost. We’ve been controlled by the government so long that we would be like a snake with no head if the people rebelled against him and stopped trusting him.

There’s no way that he’s “accidentally” letting this happen, though. He must know somehow what’s going on. Obama’s a sly man and knows what he’s doing – he’s no fool. Why is he letting it happen, though? Is he thinking it’ll take four years to do and after that it’s not his problem?

The only logical thing to do is to save the economy and possibly try to restore it to what it used to be. We need them to lower the taxes to bring the people out of the poor house, we need them to remove the idea of National Health Care from their heads, we need to bring our troops and people back to the country, and we need them to give the power to the people as they’ve claimed they would do for so long but have been actually taking it away.

With lower taxes, people would stop falling into the slums. We wouldn’t have people on food stamps, the companies could afford to lower their prices so we could feed ourselves, people would be happier and healthier, and taxes wouldn’t have to keep creeping up to save the people falling through the cracks. Lowering the taxes would relieve even the government, even if they would have to cut back on those brand new TV’s for a little while.

What are they using our taxes for anyway? Well, for one, Obama likes to take his family out on nice dates across the country. That means taking a first class jet which costs tons of fuel, the secret services have to follow them around, and they use the tax dollars to pay for the date itself – all because he wants to have a good time. Why should we pay him out of our paychecks to have a good time when we can’t even take care of our own basic needs? Sure, he’s the president, but he should work for his own money just like we do.
There’s a building going up in my town that they’re constructing and I heard about what they’re using the money for. About 2-3% of the money – a few thousand dollars – is being put into “art”. That’s not painting the walls, that’s hanging picture frames and putting in fountains around it. For one, I live in a small town. We don’t need pretty decorations like that. Next, that’s a whole heck of a lot of money being put into making a building pretty when it could be put into making the structure sounder or paying for other things. Even charity would be a better cause than “art”.

Nobody in administration of the cities or the government knows how to properly manage our money. I’m not saying to stop paying your taxes, but think about that when we decide to protest taxes.

As for bringing the troops home, that’ll pacify many people in the country. It’ll ease the protests, save money, and save lives. With the troops out there, the government is constantly pouring dollars into the war. Who even knows what we’re fighting the war for, anyway? We said we were staying to help the Iraqis but they don’t even want us. That’s why were fighting; to protect ourselves. If we withdrew from Iraq everyone would be happier! You know what, though? Despite the fact that Obama promised to withdraw them soon, they might be coming home in ten more years. How many more lives can be lost in that time? Thousands. It could be your brothers or fathers, or your sisters or mothers. It could be your children.

All these causes to fight, though, and we need to address one at a time. For now I will fight National Health Care because there’s no returning from that. The taxes we have dealt with for years and the war people sign up for, but it’s National Health Care that we can’t recover from. Once we let them go there, we’re screwed. Why do you think they won’t stop printing money? Because it will lose us tons of jobs. Well, National Health Care will do us in worse than that, and stopping the money printers will even stop the devaluation of our dollar. National Health Care has to be stopped – keep that in mind when you protest.

Remember to pass this on. Tell your friends and family to keep them educated and gather more people to fight for the cause.
