THE CON GAME CONTINUES
“THE BIGGEST CON GAME EVER AND WE ARE THE MARKS”
By Gary Kaltbaum- February 24,2013
In plain sight, the con game continues. The con game that creates a crises in order to raise more taxes…the con game that tries and succeeds at scaring the crap out of unwary Americans…the con game that tries to make everyone believe that without them, we will turn into dust. We have all watched our President and his enablers over the past couple of weeks yap about the upcoming non-event called “sequester!” They are trying to make us believe that if we had a sliver of a government spending cut FROM AN INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING, that all hell is going to break loose. How can these people lie in plain sight? It is simple. They won the election by doing the same…so why not. Just keep on keeping on.
We have also watched those that are complaining about all this…and rightfully so. But there has been just a little too much complicated talk. We tend to see things in more simple terms. The President’s words and then our answer to each:
“Emergency responders, like the ones who are here today, their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded.”
Federal spending is up over $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“FBI agents will be furloughed. Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“Air traffic controllers and airport security will see cutbacks, which means more delays in airports across the country.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find childcare for their kids.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“Hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose access to primary care and preventive care like flu vaccinations and cancer screenings.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
“This is not an abstraction. People will lose their jobs. The unemployment rate might tick up again.”
Federal spending is up $1 trillion/year over the past 4 years with deficits running that much or more!
So our President, who on purpose, raised Federal spending a trillion dollars/year since in office is now telling us they do not have enough money. Federal spending is up 35% in that time yet that just isn’t enough. Last we looked, the population has not increased 35% over the past 4 years to account for such nonsense. So what gives? Same old…same old. If any of this nonsense happens, if anyone loses a job, if any department is shut…it would have been done on purpose for nothing more than political gain. The President and his backers continue to taunt the markets with their debt laden and backwards a– economic policy…and amazingly, easily pawn it all off on others. The market will not be taunted forever…regardless of the maniacal Fed printing a trillion each year. Going to be another nauseating week brought to you by our leaders.
