Rahim Emmanuel, rabid pit bull White House Chief of Staff, recently said that “You should never let a crisis go to waste”
It is our present economic crisis–initiated by problems in our housing sector due primarily to laws passed by Democrats—the Community Reinvestment Act comes to mind–and made much worse by the actions of Democratic members of Congress like Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd, who pushed for ever more “subprime loans” and blocked any attempts to investigate and rein in Fannie and Freddie, and then made into an even bigger “crisis” by Obama’s doom mongering–that Obama and the Democrats in Congress are taking advantage of to pass their enormous legislative and spending bills designed to virtually nationalize the energy, education and health care sectors, transfer massive amounts of taxpayer’s money to the government, vastly increase the budget and the size of government, reduce the percentage of citizens who pay no taxes from 38% to 50% and, incidentally, bring back massive welfare rolls, quadruple the deficit, and remake America into a Socialist country.
It was very noteworthy that Obama’s first address to Congress focused on three areas that Obama said got us into the bind we are in, and are in need of wholesale reform and massively increased spending: education, energy and health care.
This is an odd list of culprits, indeed.
Certainly, high oil prices have not helped our economy, but our economic meltdown started in the housing sector, with subprime mortgages, and then spread to other financial sectors, so pinning our present crisis on the energy sector doesn’t wash. The other two culprits Obama pointed to, education and health care, made even less sense, for neither one of these sectors had been pinpointed by analysts as major sources for our current economic meltdown.
As my comment on Ayers above noted, Ayers has been busily working to lay out a far left hate America curriculum to indoctrinate the teachers who teach students in K-12, and has been pretty successful thus far. Imagine how much more successful the current crop of Ayers-influenced teachers will be when the government has massively increased its control over education.
In basically nationalizing health care, which–one way or another–is one sixth of our entire economy, Obama and Co. take a commanding position astride our entire economy.
Education i.e. Propaganda, Health Care, Energy—once the massively increased Obama government sinks its claws into these sectors, it will never let go, and it will effectively control our lives.
