Most of us have been told that “for every problem there is a solution.” Our politicians also have heard this constructive statement but like everything else they have muddled it up to become, “for every solution there will be more problems.”

For those of you who are staying tuned in to the national news I am sure that you are well aware that there is a common quandary with solving our Nation’s problems; and that is that none of our problems are getting solved. Here in this 21^st Century of “Hope and Change” more and more of our nation’s tribulations are only being exacerbated, extended and recycled.

Oh it's not that Obama, his Democratically controlled Congress, and basically all politicians in general are ignoring these problems, in fact they can’t seem to stop doing enough to help us, or so they claim. But of course it is precisely this bureaucratic “help” that has created so many of our problems and is the major handicap in finding viable, long term solutions.

After passing banking and corporate bailouts, stimulus and Omnibus bills, credit card reforms and taking over private business we still find ourselves with the same high unemployment, lack of credit and recession worries post two trillion dollars and counting… so much for that other old axiom of throwing money at any problem to fix it. Of course when it comes to throwing something and hitting the target these clowns couldn’t hit water if they were in a boat. Honestly, have you seen Obama throw out the first pitch at a baseball game? His pitching style is as pathetic as his foreign diplomacy.

A trillion dollars spent and we find those “shovel ready jobs” that MSNBC hacks Olbermann and Maddow were so giddy about almost two years ago didn’t even help companies that made shovels, and that’s even if it was a union shop!

Thanks to these Congressional efforts millions of Americans still can’t find work but test monkeys are now getting high on cocaine! And just what does happen to those junkie monkeys when the stimulus money runs out? Where’s PETA when we really need them?

On Labor Day our daredevil president stood before a pro-union crowd to talk about his new solution for finding Americans jobs. Not exactly David facing Goliath, but then you don’t see many other Democrats holding Town Hall Meetings on this Congressional break either. The truth is that if you and your friends talk about somebody who is willing to face his enemies Obama’s name will never come up.

Surrounded by happy faces Obama’s announcement of his new jobs plan was supposed to be the excuse for this day trip to Milwaukee, but in reality it was just another campaign speech on the taxpayers’ dime. Standing in front of what surely must have been a gallery of life-sized bobble-headed dolls, which constantly, and annoyingly, bounced in agreement with every word the Chosen One uttered, Obama spent most of his time talking smack about the Republicans. Or as he now refers to them as “The Party Of NO!”

If you thought his speech on ending the combat operations in Iraq was lame and uninspired you should have seen this un-Presidential display of arrogant gibberish. On and on he went about how everything was the Republicans’ fault and about how much he has done for the American people.

Apparently looking for sympathy our poor misunderstood Obama stated that, “They talk about me like I’m a dog.” Now I can’t argue with that because Obama does get to fly separately to his many vacation spots in his own private taxpayer financed plane, just like Bo.

But mostly he talked about putting “the car” in ‘D’ (meaning Drive to go forward with them there Democrats) and not putting it in ‘R’ (meaning, of course, going in reverse to those mean old Bush years with them there Republicans.) Well I’ll tell you something Bub, after twenty months in office where the unemployment rate has stayed the same as the day you entered the Oval Garage… I mean Office, you have had that car in ‘P’ or Park and by spending all of that cash while uselessly revving the engine you have made it almost impossible for us to go either forward or backward.

When he wasn’t whining about the NO Party Obama explained that his new plan is to spend another fifty billion dollars on another stimulus to rebuild the nations’ “infrastructure.” In other words, once again he plans on putting Americans back to work doing “shovel ready jobs!” But isn’t that exactly what the Obama, Pelosi, Reid Gang and their MSNBC hacks were crowing about two long unemployed years ago? Well, yes, it is. With Obama and Company America is stuck in a ditch with the engine howling as they press the Peddle to the Metal emptying out our money fuel tank all the while wanting us to just keep digging that ditch even deeper!

The three biggest lies in his speech were of how he had been able to put Americans back to work through the first stimulus by singling out teachers, policemen and firemen. While all are honored, noble and necessary professions they are also all public sector union jobs, which are paid for by our taxes and do not add to our national GDP.

Another lie was that this fifty billion was already paid for. Apparently we are supposed to believe that even with a record deficit Obama just happens to have this money lying around. Hogwash. Besides there is still about 270 billion from the first stimulus that has not been spent yet, so why do we need another fifty billion added to the deficit?

But the biggest lie was stressing his commitment to getting Americans back to work as soon as possible, yet this new fifty billion dollar infrastructure fiasco will not even go into effect until sometime in 2011. These yahoos who are running us into the ground have still not learned a thing in the past twenty months. They still do not understand that people need to work now not next year, and that they need to be put back to work in the private sector not in the public sector. In other words, as a Nation America needs to once again start making money instead of just spending it. In that sense government funded jobs like building roads and bridges won’t cut it.

So after almost two years in office and almost two trillion dollars our unacceptably high rate of unemployment and our economic crisis still remains unsolved and are just simply being constantly recycled.

For the past twenty months of Obama’s reign it has been one “crisis” after another. Listening to this Administration crying wolf every other day makes the apocalyptic years of the Great Depression and World War Two look like the easy going, prosperous Nifty Fifties of the Eisenhower Administration. Today we can’t take a step forward without bumping into another “crisis”, real or otherwise.

Take the so-called “health care crisis” for instance. Back in February to hear Obama and his media whores tell it we had to step over dying people in the streets in order to just get through the day. They declared that something had to be done so whether we wanted it or not they gave us an unread bill that had “to be passed in order to know what was it.”

Of course ObamaCare did not fix the problems with health care but in fact made those problems even more costly and problematical. It even insured that America would create a new class of vicious criminals to fill our court systems and prisons with those future hardened felons who will refuse to buy this federally mandated health insurance. And you can bet your house that unlike the voter intimidating Black Panther Party and the captured Islamic terrorists Obama’s DOJ will prosecute with vigor any and all American citizens who refuse to buy health care insurance.

As stated ObamaCare didn’t solve anything; anybody in this country, illegally or not, that needed emergency care were never turned away due to a Federal law that was already in place. Insurance premiums have not gone down but in fact have gone up and in the case of private business’ providing their employees with health insurance those premiums have skyrocketed.

Despite what Obama and his minions claim ObamaCare will not pay for itself nor will it be sufficiently funded by cuts in other programs like Medicare. Likewise it is totally irresponsible to claim that it will be even remotely possible to meet all of the health care needs of 300 million plus Americans. Instead this health care “plan” has insured that our country will forever be in debt and that our future generations will never even receive the satisfactory health care that we once knew. Health care rationing will not become just an option but a necessity.

As it is ObamaCare has not solved our Nation’s health care problems but has only multiplied and exaggerated them while delaying any real solutions. This unconstitutional ObamaCare has already started down the tawdry path to years of endless litigation. Unless it is repealed the only real results that will come from this vast waste of time, money and resources will be the destruction of what is now widely considered the best health care in the world, an accrual of an insurmountable national debt, forcing our future generations into financial government servitude and the extinction of the species once known as the American Octogenarian.

Like our economic troubles and the high unemployment rate our health care problems have simply been recycled and we will have to deal with them all over again in the future. Nothing this administration has done in the past twenty months can be seen as a solution to anything it has addressed, not even that silly Beer Summit.

The credit card reform bill simply altered the way credit card companies will increase their interest rates but the rates will be increased. In other words they will still get theirs while they have extremely limited their credit output, even on borrowers who were once considered low risk valued customers.

Likewise the bank bailouts did little to increase spending as they too tightened up their credit. The mortgage programs were simply a short-term fix that failed to save an untold number of people from foreclosure nor did it jump start the housing industry as promised.

But that joke called “Cash For Clunkers” was the biggest clunker of them all, as it did not help lower income families or the environment. In fact lower income families are again the victims of this scam since all of the used trade in cars had to be destroyed. This has resulted in the loss of many good affordable vehicles and so now even in this current recession used car prices have actually increased. In reality most of the people who were able to benefit from “Cash For Clunkers” were affluent enough to already be driving a reliable fuel-efficient, and newer vehicle. Those folks you see running around town belching noxious fumes from the tail pipes of their ancient cars didn’t have a prayer to even qualify for the CFC. Not to mention that just like the housing industry this quick fix had a nominal effect on the auto industry.

Here we still have not even addressed this Administration’s shameful foreign policies; it’s outrageous stand on illegal immigration, it’s lack of interest in our national security or it’s cowardly efforts in the war on terror. Like Obama and his Democratic Congress we’ll recycle those for a later date.

God Bless America
