“Most in our country are “math challenged”, but they can add and subtract when it counts. Large bills minus small income equals no opportunity. We need to give these people an alternative, and there’s going to be plenty of people in that situation. There are now.”

You are right, sir, except for one thing. Obama has already thought about what will happen to all those newbie’s coming out of college without jobs: he’s going to give them government jobs at lucrative salaries; with money that he stole from you and me in the last six months. Why do you think little of the stimulus has been paid out? He’s waiting for when HE needs it. Those grads will then feel so grateful (and so terrified of being caught not voting for the right candidate – remember the changes to union vote from secret to public?) that they will then know who their Daddy truly is.

More people in this world operate responding to their fears than those who refuse to cave on principle and suffer the resulting consequences.

This is a slow-motion coup…just like Venezuela’s.
