If you ask
big government lovers what the solution is to every incompetent, corrupt and
dangerous practice exercised by the federal government, the answer is always
the same: they need more money.
Never does
the government-loving left ever admit a federal program or agency might be
counterproductive, expedient or ineffective. They hold on to their federal
bureaucracies as though they are precious keepsakes passed on from their
beloved ancestry.
Also in
keeping with their complete unabashed shameless hypocrisy they fail to see the
irony of calling themselves "progressives" when they instead support
the propping up of old failed policies while stifling progress and innovative
change.
The recent
Amtrak train crash is illustrative of the Democrat's recalcitrant and
nonsensical argument that always is intoned to the ears of a "Gruberite"
crowd. They argue that if those big bad Republicans just gave Amtrak more
money, then the engineer that allowed the train to travel 106 mph on a track
curve in Philadelphia rated for 50 mph, the disastrous crash would not have
happened.
Obviously
lowering Amtrak's federal subsidies was the reason for the crash, right?
Obviously giving Amtrak all the money it requests would insure that there would
never be another train crash, right? Obviously, if every federal agency and
program was fully funded then government would be efficient, honest and make
all our lives better, right?
Wrong is the
correct answer, of course, but it brings up an interesting question. If this
logic is so obviously ridiculous why, and better yet who, is being influenced
and swayed by this constant barking of bunk by the left? A better question
still, might be to wonder why they always need a punching bag?
Of course no
sane person would buy this irrational
response, but the left isn't trying to provide answers anymore, instead they
are selling blame. Theirs' is a political "gotcha" game that points
fingers at the liberal's Bogeyman; named Republicans.
It has
become such a nasty naked political trick for the left, that they have lost any
faint hue of shame in parading their farce. The factual truth that their
liberal policies have failed, time and time again, is the real bare bottomed
embarrassment that causes them to lash out at conservatives rather than suffer
self-reproach.
Recently the
President made an incomprehensible accusation, that FOX news depicts poor Americans
as lazy and undeserving. The President in true left-wing form, made this broad
bushed statement while citing no examples, referencing no particular segments
and showing zero evidence that his perception drew on any substantive fact,
save his own esoteric ideologically driven mindset. Well, of course, if the
President of the United States says FOX news is full of classism then it must be
a fact, right?
Wrong again,
but this isn't about sane dialog and intellectual discourse, this is about
deflection, blame shifting and avoiding having to admit defeat. Perhaps I
failed to mention that the President made these remarks at a Georgetown University
panel meeting to discuss poverty. Constructive criticism or destructive scapegoating?
I will leave the you to judge.
The
Democrats have sold themselves as the savior of the poor since Lyndon Baines
Johnson declared war on poverty in his "Great Society" programs. Head
Start, food stamps and work study all came out of the Federal Treasury to
ensure that poverty would be significantly marginalize. Year after year, decade
after decade Democrats continue to roll out the taxpayer cash on these programs
even when data suggests poverty is increasing.
Even the
dimmest bulb understands that eventually a government that operates on the
backs of hard working taxpayers to fund its bloated weight will need to shift
its policies and priorities or see itself implode.
So what is the alternative
that today's Democrats have for us to consider? What are their new ideas and
innovative suggestions as to how to slow the rise of increasing poverty and
crumbling inner city decay.
More federal
spending is the only idea that the liberal Democrats have to offer the American
public.
Instead of
more, more, more, money, Americans must start shouting enough, enough, enough!
