HOPING FOR CHANGE

Those of us seasoned enough to be cynical about politics are not disappointed in the least. We understood that change meant "more of the same." We know how hope is merely another way of saying "vote for me and raise your expectations."

"We are what we've been waiting for," President Obama said just days before his swearing in ceremony.

But we were not waiting for a token closing of Gitmo within a year, or an executive order which allows continued rendition of suspected enemies of America to be transported to torture-approving nations (Eygpt, Morocco, Poland) for enhanced interrogations. That constitutes outsourcing immorality.

And let's not forget that Obama approved CIA Predator killing of 22 Pakistani women and children.

The man got your hopes up. Is that what's bothering you?

It's all so simple.

STIMULUS HOCUS POCUS

A stimulus can be a drag. The Obama / Pelosi plan has to result in higher prices on most goods and services because the currency will be cheapened through untold inflation via the printing press. The trillion dollar deficit spending will add monstrous interest charges for ourselves and millions of unborn Americans.

You guessed it. An early end to this recession requires a policy of laissez faire (hands off the economy). The market place fixes itself with corrections that only it can initiate. Government and its guesswork $olution$ prolong the problems.

It's all so simple.
