Coming Soon To A Country Near You

Don't understand? The true history of America shows us the way. Remember that those who ignore history are destined to repeat it. With the exception of Carter (and possibly LBJ for some) the history of these former Presidents is romanticized and exaggerated to the point that Aesop would be proud.

Wilson was the epitome of all that was criticized about George W. Bush. The difference is that Wilson actually locked up those who dissented politically and had "goon squads" to prevent opposing viewpoints from being seen, giving us the closest point in our nation's history to being under totalitarian rule.

FDR's New Deal turned the depression into The Great Depression. The rest of the world recovered in just a few years, whereas we didn't recover for over a decade. The New Deal is falsely credited with doing this, when the reality shows it was the boom caused by World War II.

LBJ's Great Society expanded the New Deal with more policies that we couldn't afford long term such as medicare and medicaid and are the single biggest contributor to the expansion of welfare and destruction of lower income families.

Jimmy Carter doesn't need too much of an introduction. High interest rates and inflation, gas shortages and no respect in the Middle East. There's a reason why after he was defeated, the hostages in Iran were released on the day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration.

Obama's plan dwarfs the New Deal and the Great Society programs even when adjusted for inflation. This will unfortunately cripple our country for years to come. Every criticism is brushed off almost jokingly, and passed aside as some crazy right wing thinking. But since when does spending money lead to saving money? If any of us max out our credit cards, we can't simply keep opening new ones and pushing the old ones aside. Eventually the olds ones will need to be paid, and eventually the companies will say enough and cut us off. China has taken this approach with the United States, but unlike our government, we can't simply print more money to make up for it.

Understand that we can't afford the programs or this package and that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will all suffer financially because of the course being plotted. We don't have the money and are simply printing it. Inflation is coming folks, and it'll blindside us when least expected.
