BloggeRhythms 2/7/2011

Sometimes I have to wonder if politicos really think folks are so dumb, they'll buy anything sold to them in the rhetoric of speeches, or is it the other way around?

Could it be that those bombasting away at lecterns are really as clueless and out of touch with reality as they sound? Because the president addressed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce this week and made some totally ridiculous remarks about the business community.

He said that: "The role of government is to support the economic foundation by spending public money to improve transportation, education and communications systems. But businesses, which have not added large numbers of jobs even as the economy stumbles toward recovery, must do more to help America as a whole and not just their own bottom line. If I've got one message it's now is the time to invest in America. Today American companies have $2 trillion on their balance sheets, I want to encourage you to get in the game."

Well, I don't know where the president thinks the money that drives the economy comes from, but it doesn't derive from government in any way shape or form, except for those businesses having contracts with Sam. What's more, if nothing else this administration has shown that if income is shown by any business operation, the Feds will do whatever they can to find a way to take it. So, it isn't a matter of "getting into the game," it's the absolute opposite. The only way to survive is to avoid playing at all.

Now, there is a way to get business to invest again, and likely even stimulate owners to begin actively hiring once more. In fact, the economy might even fully recover in a relatively short period of time. But, I doubt the president and his party love their country enough to do the right thing and resign.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
