It seems that every day brings a new revelation that some branch or department of the Administration has bungled something, from costing more than $20,000 for each $4,500 old car credit for the “Cash for Clunkers” debacle, to spending some $870,000 for each $187,000 house saved from foreclosure, to faulty and misleading facts on the Economic Recovery website, to… well, the list goes on and on. This underscores the valid assumption that the Administration has been built around incompetent high-level management. Since most scholars agree that Obama is no dummy, the hiring of incompetents must have been deliberate, and the only viable reason for knowingly hiring incompetents is that you intend to take actions that are either unethical or illegal and you don’t want intelligent people working for you who might question what you are doing. So, what is Obama up to?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you believe Obama will run for reelection in 2012? (Melissa ~ Northridge, CA)A. I do not believe Obama will finish his first term as President.
Q. Given the fact that so many states are in financial straits, why did the Senate vote to saddle the states with Medicaid costs? (Remmy ~ Brooklyn, NY)
A. To hide the true costs of the Health Care Bill they passed.
Q. With the state employee furloughs and severe cutbacks in some services, is California now going to be able to balance its budget? (Dee ~ Oxnard, CA)
A. No. They are still running a projected deficit of $21 billion over the next 18 months. The legislature, having not learned yet that raising taxes causes more businesses and individuals to leave the state, is looking to raise tax rates when it starts its next session. If they do so, the average Californian will be paying out about 55% of his gross taxable income in federal and state income taxes plus hidden taxes.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.” ~ Ron PaulTODAY’S VIDEO:
