Liberals flunk Economics 101

It always amuses me how Democrats have to paint spending money in emotional terms in order to justify it. Harry Reid made the case for his “jobs bill” and extending unemployment payments by saying that, when men are out of work, they become abusive to women. The facts do not support this. O.J. Simpson drew a steady paycheck from the day he signed with USC until the day he was arrested for murder.

Even though they do not understand economics, Democrats understand politics.  They saw polls saying the Tea Party movement and Americans have had it with spending, so Obama formed a “joint committee” (just as an observation, “joint committees” are never as fun as they sound) to look into our debt problems and report back to him. I think he has asked Neil Patrick Harris to be the chairman. So I guess the problem is solved. Expect a full report from this committee by late November, 2012, and the implementation of its recommendations by the fall of two thousand and never.

Democrats only understand money in that they know who has earned it so they can take it via their beloved government. It is an article of faith among liberals that they are justified in taking from others while remaining impervious to economic realities themselves. They are only about power. It is frightening that Democrats are running our country through the most trying economic times in recent history.
