American Missive

BECKLEY— If it wasn’t for Mr. Bush’s TARP and Mr. Obama’s ARRA bill things would probably be getting closer to recovery.  However, because we elected Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama we are still heading down the road to ruin.   Unemployment now tops 10%.    While Mr. Obama spends $158 billion to pretend he is creating jobs real American’s are losing their jobs.  We should be appalled at the news media that is supposed to report the news. When Mr. Obama and his cronies commit bold open-faced lies, like Mr. Bush and Mr. Clinton before him, every news station, blog, news paper, magazine, and radio station should be reporting them.

Now understandably this makes liberals happy because more people have to turn to the government for those pretend jobs, causing inflation to lower real income, taxes to increase and everybody to be more equal which in turn makes things more fair.  Fairness is about nobody having any opportunity because equal opportunity makes for unfair outcomes and some people are better at pursuing happiness than others and that is just not fair.   Of course, because liberals refuse logic, people do still figure out the rules to the game and hence the rich keep getting richer.

Nevertheless, people of logic and morality realize that this situation is getting dire.   While liberals may be duping much of middle America into believing that their pretend jobs and moral relativism are the answer I encourage you not to buy into the lies.

Do not buy into the lies of unemployment. It is much worse than what the government reports and probably approaching closer to 22% than the 10.2% reported today.  Additionally, do not buy into the idea that all this government spending, $158,000,000,000 to pretend to create jobs, has no negative consequences.  Newton proved, with his third law, that each action has a reaction.

You don’t believe me?  Just look at what you paid for gasoline a few years back. Look at the value of real money, like gold, compared to the lie in your pocket. Look at what you paid for a gallon of milk or pack of cigarettes a few years back. You will see EXACTLY the consequence of liberal policies.  You will see the results of FDR’s “New Deal”,  LBJ’s ”Great Society”, Nixon’s moral relativism with China, the EPA, the fiat dollar, Bush Senior’s Tax Hikes, Clinton’s morality, his revised and expand welfare state, Bush Jr’s “TARP”, and Obama’s “ARRA”.   The evidence is huge, undeniable logically, unfair perhaps, but yet the mountain of evidence casts a powerful verdict.

You take these polices back to Hoover and FDR and simply look at how much real money a dollar bought in 1930.  It would buy about 1/20 or 5% of an ounce of gold.  Today a dollar buys 1/1080 in gold or .0009%.  While a couple of bucks may have bought a nice hand tailored suit in 1930.  A nice one of a kind hand tailored suit today takes a couple of ounces of gold, and I like my Oxxfords. Our currency, the measure of our economic strength, has, in real terms, declined thanks in large part to liberal policies stretching back over nearly a century.   We have debased and devalued our economic system not with capitalism but with the slow terrorism of socialism, moral relativism, corrupted power-hungry politicians, and American apathy. From FDR’s power-hungry 4 terms to movie-star-want-to-be JFK we have voted for the slick-tongued Slick Willy to tough talking “W”.

We have had very few do-nothing Presidents letting Americans live in peace. Why?  It’s simple. We are the country that created the salesman, we want snake oil medicine men to sell us a cure.   We have had even fewer Presidents who have scaled back the size and scope of government.  Why? Again, because we buy the lies. There are a lot of straight-up, bold-face lies and pure deceit that we as Americans buy into.   Morality is relevant. Government is good. Free markets are broken. Every thing is going along smoothly. We live in a great country. God is dead. The enlightened Europeans and Chinese are the solution. Islam is a religion of peace. Health Care is a right. Inflation is good. Deflation would be bad for this economy. The list could go on.

We have simply got to stop buying.  Stop buying the sales pitch that buying is good and start saving.  Stop buying the notion that the government is good.  Stop buying the ideology that laws, regulations, departments, Czars, etc will all improve our life.  Stop buying the talk that China is our friend before they hang us on our debt.   Stop buying prognostication that home values must always go up.   Stop buying the ideology that we have right to health care, the right to jobs, and the right to a fair standard of living defined by the government.  Stop buying!

UPDATE 11/06/2009: I should have pointed out that our very own prognosticator Mr. Van Nuys predicted this unemployment rate fully 11 months ago.
