Waiting for Change at the Obama Red Light

Where is the intersection of family survival, political commentary and governmental malpractice? Somewhere at the corner of “why are we spending our children’s future” boulevard and “will you please stop the spending” street! Indeed, we have all arrived at this frustrating and overcrowded confluence and we cannot make the current crop of economic traffic cops rouse themselves and change directions.
Last week the voters of the proud Bay State stood and clearly rejected the nonsense going on in Washington. From bribery for healthcare reform to surcharge fees on financial institutions to payback TARP money. Even Tarp money not lent to them. Even if they have paid back their own Tarp money. The outcome was amazing and its meanings rather obvious. Yet here we are at this confusing and congested junction where the Obama pile-up is whirling back into spin mode.
We are to believe now that The Massachusetts Miracle really means the Bay Staters support Obama policies. No less an authority than Gallop has been sighted by the White House. Who are we to question the questions, methodologies or sampling controls? Why we are after all, ignorant and manipulated troglodytes, especially we southern types, dumber than dirt clinging to guns and God.
We are simply lost at this big city crossroads, feebly attempting to deny Marx and the inevitable evolution of capitalism to socialism on the way towards Communism. After all we voted for change. Now that is all we have in our pockets and we should shut and send that in too! Gee when did Massachusetts become a southern state any way?
What will it take to clear all the wreckage and get the economic traffic running smoothly? My guess is nothing will suffice until political control is wrested from these idealist clowns and teleprompter talking heads shaky misguided hands. They will not stop so we must remove them one vote and election after another.
The process is well under way. Denial will keep the faithful base around a bit longer for Obama and his B-team hacks but the day of reckoning is coming. In the mean time we must remind our congressmen and senators nearly every day. We will get past the corner of “why are we spending our children’s future” boulevard and “will you please stop the spending” street. We will not be taking them with us when we crossover either!
My guess is lots of reaching into the borrowed future tax receipts “Santa-Bag” for little toys and cookies. Like, double the child tax credit, as long as you are not “rich” or employer funded retirement IRA’s. Sadly if you are in the nearly 17% of unadjusted unemployed, a tax credit on earning that do not exist and forcing the employer you do not have to cough up a new benefit will do little for you. But hey, at least Santa came, right
Moms, dads, uncles, aunts, friends and all others not mentioned, we are in a historic time at an historic place. The corner of “why are we spending our children’s future” boulevard and “will you please stop the spending” street is our turning point or our breaking point. Our kids first five years of earnings already belong to China and we can afford no more damage to their future to roll out of a deaf and deluded Washington D.C.
We need to take our place beside the Bay Staters, tea partiers and motivated thinking independent Americans and shout this nonsense down. Refill the switchboards, inboxes, editorial pages, blogs and ballot boxes until the light finally changes and we blow past hopeless change and leave the corner of “why are we spending our children’s future” boulevard and “will you please stop the spending” street way back in the rear view mirror!
