Bama's Magic Bag

In Racine, Wisconsin this week Bama was doing the only thing he really knows how to do in life – campaigning. Bound by the Democrat Rules for Campaigning, Section 1A, he lied and distorted reality in an attempt to fool the mostly inane union goons who skipped work to hear him and show their unflinching support. Among the most egregious distortions is this fallacy that Republicans are the majority party, with the power to hold up legislation and not allow anything to come to vote. That must be how Health Care got passed. Oh wait.

Remember the big announcement earlier this year about “Pay-Go?” That’s where Democrats pledged to not put forth any legislation that was not 100% paid for. Yeah, I know, pretty funny coming from Democrats. But even as the pundits try to spin this election cycle as bad for all incumbents, Democrats are trying to be credible in being more conservative than conservatives. Anyway, those dastardly Dems want to push through a $34 Billion emergency bill to fund unemployment insurance through November, though I'm sure the timing with the election season is just a coincidence (Riiight). It’s not like this thing just snuck up on them and they realized 3 days before the deadline that benefits would terminate. They’ve been “working” on this bill for the past 3 months, and could have taken a vote at any time, but because they have refused to – wait for it – pay for it, Republicans won’t sign on. Now they do have one RINO, but because Old KKK Byrd dies this week they lose by 1 vote. And just how much do Democrats care? Enough that they are dropping the issue to go on vacation. Oh, those poor suffering Americans.

To any rational person it is obvious that three things have doomed this effort. First, Democrats went back on their word, discarding Pay-Go at the very first opportunity. Second, Democrats wanted to make this close so they could also make it political and blame Republicans if the bill failed. Third, and most importantly, Bara Bama and the Democrats’ failed economic policies have created a business climate where this is still an issue in the first place. Listen, Congress extended benefits last October up to an unprecedented 99 weeks! How long does it take to find a job? Any job?? It’s no wonder people aren’t out there working the jobs that are available because the f---ing Federal government is paying them to stay home and do nothing!!!

Yes, I have a friend who got laid off, but guess what? He went out and got 2 part time jobs to make ends meet while he continues to look for something full time and permanent.

Let’s say you’re a prospective employer, and you get 2 resumes for one opening you have. One of the applicants is working 2 part time jobs to make ends meet and providing for himself, while the other is sitting at home watching cable in his underwear on the taxpayer dime. Who would you hire?

Bama must still think he’s Jesus Christ, able to pull fish endlessly from baskets to feed the five thousand, or in this case, reach into his magic bag of endless dollars to pay for cable TV and Taco Bell for millions of the habitually unemployed.

I do feel for those who lost their jobs in this economy, but to them I say that it is Democrats’ unending culture of state-reliance and vilification of private business that has caused the economic slump to get this bad for this long, and with no end in sight. Bama and his magic bag are the cause, not the solution.
