And Now You Own It


Congratulations to Al Franken, the newly sworn in junior Senator from Minnesota. Democrats have now reached the magic number of 60 - a super majority for the Democrats in the Senate. This eliminates the possibility of Conservatives using a tried and true liberal process of filibustering the opposition party’s legislation or nominees. The Democrats can cram down our throats all the socialist legislation or leftist nominees they want unfettered by any opposition voices -- and of course, they won’t hear anything but cheers from the liberal press.
But here’s the thing -- be careful what you ask for. By finally getting their much sought after super majority, the Democrats own whatever happens. So far, they have practically bankrupted the country, nationalized businesses, and increased the national debt more than all the previous administrations before them - combined. Foreign countries hold over 50% of our debt, and now they are looking at moving away from the dollar as their monetary standard. Interest rates are starting to creep upward - all pointing to signs of runaway inflation.
So what’s the Administrations answer - blame Bush. Vice President Biden’s recent statement that he and President Obama “underestimated” how bad the economy was that they inherited demonstrates they are returning to the only thing that liberals have ever done well - and that’s blame President Bush for everything.
How sad - these elected officials are to be our leaders - and all they do is blame others for their mistakes.
