Obama ASU Speech - Building A Stronger Foundation?
President Barack Obama gave the commencement speech at Arizona State University yesterday and although his remarks were encouraging and pointed ASU graduates away from greed and towards what they can do to make the world, and our country, a better place, a bit of hypocrisy reared its ugly head during the talk. Unfortunately, hypocrisy is what you end up with most of the time when you’re the POTUS and you constantly seek to manipulate instead of lead.
Here are President Obama’s remarks in question:
And as a nation, we’ll need a fundamental change of perspective and attitude. It is clear that we need to build a new foundation - a stronger foundation - for our economy and our prosperity, rethinking how we educate our children, and care for our sick, and treat our environment.
If we need to build a new foundation for our economy as the President states, then why would you start out your tenure as the big chief by spending, lending or committing $12.8 trillion, that we don’t have, to bailout crooks, cheats, and institutions that may possibly collapse or go bankrupt anyway?
As I mentioned in my last post, in addition to the $12.8 trillion the POTUS signed over to crooks and failed business models, he has also proposed the largest budget in history to run the ever expanding government with the largest deficit in history to go along with it.
This isn’t a formula for prosperity and opportunity, it’s a formula for utter economic disaster. Printing money to cover the gargantuan expenditures the President is racking up, is a plan fraught with doom that can’t be undone until collapse ensues.
I just have one question for the President - How does spending that kind of money, that most assuredly can never be paid back, lay a stronger foundation for for our economy and prosperity?
It would be nice to have something other that the usual evading the question type answer given at one of his press conferences.
