Help! The Government is Trying to ‘Do Something’
1/28/2009
Despite the rhetoric of Barack Obama, not everyone in this country believes that government is the solution. Some actually believe that government is the problem, not the cure. In an open letter to President Obama, hundreds of economists wrote that they do NOT believe “more government spending is a way to improve economic performance.”
In addition to the economists, which include “Nobel laureates and other prominent scholars, more and more House Republicans are stepping up to oppose Obama’s massive stimulus plan. Get ready… Obama, Congressional Democrats, and the media will all label these GOP members as “obstructionists.” They will say that these conservatives are standing in the way of “getting things done.” However, you and I both know that when it comes to government, “getting things done” is a recipe for disaster.
On January 9, then President-elect Obama said, “There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.” HELLO! Of course there is disagreement. Not everyone in this country is a socialist. I’ll take a healthy dose of “inaction” by the government any day of the week.
