Letter to the President #8
February 5, 2010
Dear Mr. President,
I may be a little late in commenting on your State of the Union address, but it is filled to the brim with sewage that it would take days for any sane person to shovel their way through it. This speech differed little from the many you have given the past year. I often wonder when you will shut your mouth and actually start defending this country.
Instead of reporting on the State of the Union, people are more aware of it than you, and the 18 pages you spent selling your socialist agenda. It was the typical push for universal health care, cap and trade and a government takeover of energy production, another stimulus (the Jobs Bill), blame Bush, and more of your ego inflation. But there are a few points I want to address specifically.
You talk about the suffering of the people. You even throw in a few sob stories and supposed letter written to you just to prove that you understand our pain. You understand nothing. You insist that the economy downfall and our suffering is the result of the change you promised not coming quickly enough. And you blame Republicans for that. 1) The Republicans do not have a majority. Democrats do. Republicans couldn’t stop a bill from passing even if they all voted against it. It is people in your own party that has slowed down your ghoulish legisltaion. Blame them not the GOP. 2) You are either delusional or lying. I believe it is both. You truly believe that destroying America and turning it into a socialist country will make the country and the world a better place. You are also lying because you want the public to believe that our refusal to accept your regulations has furthered this economic slump. The reality is that the change you brought to Washington, your economic policies have prolonged the recession turning it into a depression. Your big government solutions took a problem and expanded it.
A second point I wish to make is that you are now attempting to rewrite history. You throw out a bunch of numbers and figures to prove that your stimulus bill actually saved the economy from total collapse. The numbers do not add up. There is no evidence that your spending spree saved the economy. There is evidence that it made the economy worse. Unemployment skyrocketed, businesses loss money, employers stopped hiring and began laying more people off, consumer spending dropped, banks stopped lending, and the stock market has yet to show any sign of recovery.
You mentioned tax cuts that you passed. Where are they? Tax rates are still the same and are due to increase when the Bush tax cuts expire later this year. That is considered a tax increase for those who do not understand basic economics. You have passed tax credits, but those are not tax cuts. A tax cut means that tax rates have decreased and will remain that way. A tax credit is a temporary refund that a person is forced to pay back when he is taxed on it at later date.
In 2009 you passed a tax credit on people’s paychecks that amounted to an additional $10 a paycheck. When filing taxes in 2010, those who received that credit will be charged income tax on that extra money along with the rest of their income. Explain how this is a tax cut. Simple, it’s not.
You have blatantly shown contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law. The Senate blacked a bill of yours that would have established another bureaucracy known as the Fiscal Commission. Instead of respecting the political process you are going to issue an executive order to create this Fiscal Commission and get what you want. How childish! You cannot override the House and Senate every time you do not get your way. This is an abuse of your executive power. This very act is something a dictator does. But then, you said once that you would rule this country.
Lastly, you have already demonstrated you desire to take over health care, businesses, and banks, but now you want education. The education in America is already largely controlled by the federal government, but you want more. You want a bill that will allow the government more control of education all in the name of protecting the children. The Department of Education already regulates schools including universities. Yet, many college graduates still cannot read anything longer than a magazine or even discuss current world events. And you have the gall to insist that more government legislation will fix this? You have the audacity to tell students that if they take out a student loan to pay for college they will not have to pay it back after ten years if they get a government job, or twenty years if they get a regular job. Instead the government will absorb the loan. Not only is this financial suicide for the United States since we are trillions of dollars in debt and have no money, but this is insulting to those who took responsibility for their debts and paid off their loans. I am one of those people. I paid for my education. I paid my student loans. Not the government.
How dare you insist that people need the government’s help to pay for anything. How dare you encourage young people to not take responsibility for themselves and their education but instead to let the government handle it. Your big government policies will breed yet another generation of people who refuse to work for anything, refuse to be self reliant, but instead believe that they are entitled to everything. They will believe that government should provide for them. This is not only a violation of the U.S. Constitution but an insult to the American character.
Like any tyrant this does not concern you. You want people to believe that you are doing all of this out of compassion because you care. You are an arrogant fool who cares only for yourself. You refer to yourself so much it is difficult to believe that you care for anything else. You wish for us to look upon you as our Savior and the savior of America. Mr. President, you are one of many that has helped destroy this country. There is one savior and he died on a cross. Would you do the same? You talk about Americans making sacrifices. You talk about how it is time for Washington to tighten its belt. Where are those sacrifices on the part of Washington? Where are your sacrifices? What are you willing to sacrifice?
When it comes down to it, Mr. President, your mouth is a black hole that spouts empty words.
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
