$1.56 Trillion. Idiocy? Lunacy? Obamacy!

Last year the new kid; the community organizer from Chicago by way of Indonesia, Hawaii and Kenya spent a modest $1.413 trillion more than he took in. He blamed Bush but it was a record for any country for anytime, anywhere in the history of the Solar System. He just topped it - $1.56 trillion this year.

This kid is not just kidding when he said he wanted to spread the wealth around. Holy smokes. That’s three trillion dollars more than we took in. There are 135 million working Americans today; another 15 million not working. Total 150 million which includes 22 million hard working government employees. If you divide the 150 million into 3 trillion you get $20,000.00 per working or wanting to work American. $10,000.00 per year. By the way, the total budget per worker for 2010 is $25,500.00. That’s just the federal budget. Does not include your local property taxes, your state and local sales taxes and all the other taxes for gasoline, telephone, cable TV, beer/wine and so on. Borrowed. We don’t have it. This is what community organizing is all about. Go to this website: http://www.gamiliel.org/ and see what they have to say. Your president worked there. It’s a community organization. Here is a brief vision statement from this outfit:

We have a vision for our country that is based on radical hope, inclusive community, and shared abundance for all. We believe that we are called to participate in the democratic process, in shaping a future that works for all of us. The transformation of the soul of our country, our democracy, is both a political project and a spiritual project. It requires a body of people willing to live, to act, and to project a new way of being. Our faith is a path to a new way of being: spiritually and politically.

More from the kid: “6% increase in spending for the education department. Make college more affordable. Investments we must make. We pay for these investments. Freeze for three years on spending but not apply to Medicare, social security or military expenditures and benefits.”

“Been through the whole budget line by line. $17 billion last year; this year $20 billion. Cuts are painful because goals are worthy. Earned income tax credit in advance and then they didn’t qualify. More bang for our buck. Make government more efficient.” The kid is on his game.

“Bi partisan deficit reduction commission. Restore pay as you go. Spend a dime; cut a dime. Restore fiscal discipline in Washington. Bottom line is this. Can’t act as if deficits don’t have consequences anymore. Stop with the grandstanding.”

Now that’s a set of cojones! Back to back largest deficits in the history of the Solar System and he says we can’t do it; that others must stop grandstanding. If this isn’t a calling, what is it? This is spiritual stuff.

Either this is lunacy or it is idiocy or something way beyond the modest scope of words we used to use to describe the behavior of lunatics and idiots. We are actually seeing, experiencing the creation of an entirely new noun for destructive, fiscally promiscuous behavior – obamacy: Complete disregard for all fundamental values. The complete and total replacement of concepts of sacrifice and frugality with shared abundance for all regardless of consequence. A new way of being. Spiritual. Soul transformation.  Hallelujah.

America. He sold you “change.” You bought it. You own it. It’s yours. Now you know what to call your purchase. It’s not idiocy. It’s not lunacy. It’s so much more. You bought obamacy! Pray for yourselves.  Next time learn about your candidate.
