If you rely on the mainstream dino-media or most Washington politicians – especially Democrats – you can be excused if don’t think that: a) this country has a serious budget crisis, and b) if it isn’t addressed now our nation’s economic future is in serious jeopardy.
(Before I proceed further, I say most Washington politicians because, in my mind, only Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul have had the guts to speak the truth, seeking an honest, bipartisan discussion with the American people, and making serious proposals for dealing with this nation’s debt crisis.)
The Beltway elitists and their bow-tied, bum-kissing mouthpieces on the main TV channels, the Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe, L.A. Times, NPR, MSNBC would have you think that in the current budget debate Republicans are attempting to throw old people out in the streets, close every public school, and starve every person who is on food stamps. You’ve got VP Joe Biden equating Republicans to rapists, and Harry Reid using annual cowboy poetry gatherings and programs about the Alaska Iditarod dog race as reasons for keeping the National Endowment for the Humanities and PBS, respectively, off the budget chopping block.
Of course, it’s all bullshit – and I mean that in every sense of the word. This administration can’t even tell the truth about President Obama’s blatantly dishonest budget proposal, and we’re so much in debt no one really knows just how bad the situation is, except for the fact that we’re now accumulating more debt on a monthly basis than we used to annually less than a decade ago. Some people might sneer at this, but the payment is coming due, and this country cannot afford to live in denial any more.
That’s why this Powerline post by John Hinderaker is so important to read. It helps put the current budget debate into something even I can understand: the federal budget as a McDonald’s Big Mac meal. Please read it and share; it’s something vitally important to understand, and help others understand, as far as the country’s economic future is concerned.
If it wasn’t so frightening, it would be pretty funny. Unfortunately, given the spineless, gutless clowns in power in Washington (and I’m including both Democrats and Republicans here), all it is, is pathetic.
