Warning for young Americans. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,and
not good for you.
The President laid out his future plans for America at the State of the Union address Tuesday, and his emphasis was you. He told you he would get you free college, he said he would raise the minimum raise so all would have better pay when you got a job, and he assured you he would keep you safe from the world's biggest problem, the dangerous and looming problem of Climate change. It was all about you, and the fact every other problem was under control was because the American crisis was over, because of the President's policies the past 6 years. He even wanted Republicans to join him on all of his programs, that the only problem is that the political system did not work because no one worked together, and that he had no need for politics because he had already been elected twice.
Yet after the speech, he tweeted to his followers to make sure they donated to the democrat party with an automatic withdrawal? Then, the very next day, he held a 3 hour Youtube event at the White House with 3 Youtube gurus who have over 15 million viewers on social media. He was eager to tell you of all his plans for you. I never knew how outrageous GloZell was, the woman with the green or pink lips who ate breakfast in a bathtub full of milk and cereal while swimming in it.
Because of GloZell and this Presidential publicity, I checked out GloZell and can not understand why the President had her on the program. Of course.....She Loves Obamacare! but then again in the video I watched, GloZell said this:
"Your Higher Taxes pay for My healthcare, thanks President Obama." "Ha ha ha I'm getting healthcare... this is wonderful. So people keep on working. Thanks so much."
Google it yourself. It is even funny. But it is pretty amazing that those who work like you will, after you go to college for free to get a job that the president wants to pay you more for, because the president raised the minimum wage, will now be the taxpayers who pay for someone to get free or cheap healthcare. I guess that is why he is raising the minimum wage. Someone has to pay for it. And pay for that free education for all those who follow you through college. Unless of course, the President uses the nation's credit card again, that being "raise the national debt".
But wait, I just read a Forbes article that said, after describing the problem of possible interest rate hikes, which could easily happen, that the interest payments on the debt, would consume budget needs, and in their words, "Get ugly". In other words there would not be enough money to pay for all of the things the President wants to give to you in his speech. That is wishful thinking on the President's part, and naive on your part if you whole heartedly believed him.
Did you know back in March 2006 Barrack Obama said this on the campaign trail for his Senate seat: "Raising the National debt is a .....Failure of Leadership." Congress wanted to raise the national debt back then. And then after the Democrats won the 2006 election, democrats controlled congress up until January 2015. Guess what, March 2006 the national debt was 8.2 trillion dollars and today it is 18 trillion. In his promises to you and the middle class this week, and in the State of the Union speech Tuesday, I emphasis speech, like in campaign speech, which is all it was, "National debt" was never talked about. Perhaps that would destroy the moment, the karma the president was trying to sell you?
What makes all this time the president spent on YouTube selling you with his false promises, as I call them, so troubling for our nations leader, is the world and our national security have once again been threatened. Here is just a couple things that happened the past few days. Yemen fell to rebels, the government thrown out, and now the American embassy is being evacuated. Who supports the rebels? Iran, the same Iran that held the American embassy personnel in 1979 for over two years during the Carter Presidency. And Iran is stonewalling on their nuclear ambitions which has caused the Republicans to have Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel speak in front of congress. Probably to get the President to take Iran seriously. Hint, the President thinks talking and speeches defeats evil.
Today ISIS beheaded more innocents and the Japanese have two businessmen held hostage with the threat of beheadings unless they pay a $200 million ransom. And everyone knows about Paris a couple of weeks ago. Yet not a word by the President about Al Qaeda or Islamic Extremism in his speech or over the last few days, just promises of a brighter future for you. Everyone wants that for you. Just not at the expense of so many others or the financial and personal security of the country.
There is much more going on, that affects the security of the United States, but the point I have tried to convey to you, is the State of the Union is not is as well as the President says it is, and why did he spend, so much time selling you, young adults on domestic programs, when an adult would be working on making sure America stayed safe during these troubling times? That is the best way to insure a brighter future for you. But those reasons are a story for another day.
So I say again, beware, and if it sounds too good, be a sceptic. Especially when the same person blames others for a "Failure of Leadership", and then doubles down and does the same thing.
8.2 trillion to 18 trillion?
One last thing, the Pope just announced that people should talk more to one another and use less devices such as an I-Phone. I am not as tough as the Pope. smile emoticon I use technology to seek the truth. Google for it and as the old saying goes, "Knowledge Will Set You Free." And knowledge will get you a lot of respect when you Tweet to your friends. Just ask Michael Moore how much trouble a stupid Tweet gets you. Another hint. Google "Michael Moore, American Sniper"
