naivety is so cute. ;-)
>>I keep hoping Obama will discover how bad his advisors have been and kick them out. While it's true he walked into an almost impossible situation, I think many have been disappointed by his administration's response to the inherited mess.<<
you gotta be kidding me! obama knows *exactly* what he's doing. he'd taking trillions in private losses and dumping them on the public. obama knows how to fire CEOs (pay them $10s of millions to walk away, anyway).
obama CHOOSES not to fire his boss, err, goldman sachs' CEO. GS helps to blow up the world economy and within a year they are all getting record bonuses based off tax payer infusions through AIG. MUST BE NICE - THANKS OBAMA!
oh, and obama is willing to make the mess that much worse. bush wouldn't approve mark to myth, but "transparent" obama jumped at the chance to try and fool everyone with mark to myth.
obama is in this knee deep. the collapse of argentina needed a complicit president and they bought and paid for him. obama is no different.
obama *does not* work for you. he works for wall stree titans - the same guys who own and run goldman sachs and the federal reserve.
if i went to vegas and bet and lost $1 million and obama came in and declared me too big to fail and saddled you with the $1 million in debt, there would be none of this "I keep hoping Obama will discover how bad his advisors have been and kick them out" crap.
you'd be looking to kick his *ss for being nothing less than evil and playing favorites.
as to your list, let's go down it one by one:
>>[1] Pull the US out of all military exposure.<<
the military industrial complex is a *massive* government lobby. they get what they want and whores like obama (or any politician!) give it to them. obama is increasing military expenditures. expect the trend to continue.
>>[2] Eliminate non-essential spending. Wind down NASA.<<
NASA's lobbying capability and ability to pay millions to guys like obama after he leaves office is limited, so NASA might be on the block for cuts.
>>[3] Impose an immediate 10% VAT, solely directed to debt repayment.<<
they have a trial balloon out on this, but i'm not sure they do it. after all, obama might be risking his election by going back on his promise not to raise taxes. in addition, raising taxes on the poor and unemployed to fund services for billionaires is pretty sh*tty.
obama will do whatever it takes to hold onto power as long as possible and to maximize his income post office, ala bill clinton and his $100 million plus take since leaving office.
also, there is no such thing as debt payment when you spend more than you take in. the money goes to new expenditures, and probably won't cover them.
>>[4] Reestablish pay-as-you-go budgeting.<<
this involves significant pain - the massive cutting of government and the significant raising of taxes. obama will be concerned about being re-elected, so he won't do it. if the country must burn so obama gets 4 more years, obama wants to know where to get more kerosene.
>>[5] Replace Geithner with Volcker.<<
Geithner works for the same guys that rule over obama. they worked hard to get him in position and *will not* let him go. he's a tax cheat and illegal alien employer - and they *still* put him in position to loot the treasury for the wall street titans' benefit. they want it *ALL* and he's the guy to give it to them. i don't even think volcker is allowed to leave the card room at the white house - BY DESIGN.
>>[6] Eliminate duplicative programs; rationalize government spending.<<
this might happen on some small level, but isn't printing money easier? "yo ben, we need another trillion, bud. gotta meet payroll."
>>[7] Eliminate government subsidies, including agricultural.<<
if they significantly contribute to obama's cause, they will be safe. just like clinton, OBAMA NEEDS HIS $100s OF MILLIONS ONCE HE LEAVES OFFICE - AND HE'LL BILL THE TAX PAYER FOR HIS OFFICE, TOO!
sociopaths live by their own rules. they lack a conscience and they are for hire. |
