Obama’s America: Killing private business, bailing out state and local governments

Headline at the top left of the front page of today’s Washington Post:

<<< Obama pleads for aid package: $50 billion for states, localities >>>

And at the bottom right:

<<< On a shallow-water gulf rig, confusion keeps crew at bay: Drillers said to be exempt from moratorium, but delays mean layoffs are looming >>>


I expect we’re going to hear a lot of defensive language this fall about the Democrats’ attempts to pass “jobs bills,” but don’t forget that Obama’s Interior Department, using lies to justify its offshore drilling moratorium, is already in the process of killing off as many private-sector jobs as any number of jobs bills could create. Meanwhile, we’re bailing out state and local governments that spent too much in boom times and got too cozy with their unionized workforces.

The problem: At some point, the host organism is going to die. We can’t all work for the government, because someone has to produce something useful for government to tax.
