“In short, LBJ's Great Society had two major short-term unintended consequences: First, the Great Society weakened us on the home front by foisting tax hikes and unsustainable debts on the American people; second, the Great Society weakened us abroad by sucking up cash needed to win the Vietnam War. The Great Society forced a choice between guns and butter, and the Democrats chose increasingly expensive butter, paid for by productive Americans.”

This is great analysis, using past liberal programs to disprove today’s “progressive” rhetoric.

Folks, I don’t make this stuff up…  Listen to his speech and tell me if you TRULY BELIEVE what he is saying.  It is sad, truly sad, that a President of the United States has chosen to be such an activist for programs that will negatively affect our economy for so many years.

Vice President Biden Releases “Recovery through Retrofit” Report from White House on Vimeo.

Yes, folks, we’re marching right along, spending money belonging to the next generation.  The galling part is that most of the money is being spent on pet political projects, and hasn’t made its way to Main Street where we could use a little recovery right about now.  Even worse, we hear regularly that Mr. Obama and his friends in Congress  “…are really trying to get a handle on balancing the budget and we’re making real efforts to do it.” (Quote attributed to Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY).

It’s particularly disappointing that the media is giving politicians a free ride on this issue.  When is the last time a “hardball” question has been posed to the President or any Member of Congress regarding the rampant over-spending currently taking place?  Sure, it happens on Fox News and in the Wall Street Journal, but the Democrats have been very quick to shut down any dissent to their spending.

Are “green jobs” just more excuses to gamble the taxpayers money on unproven theories?

Definitely time for District 8 voters to find an alternative.  Perhaps Patricia Sullivan will be more careful about using data correctly.  Her full web site address is:  http://PatriciaSullivanForCongress.com – for those interested in learning more.
