Poverty to Deepen in United States

After totally mismanaging the BP oil spill, President Obama is set to address his latest and perhaps final assault on the economy of the United States. At this writing more than 40 million citizens( and non-citizens) receive EBT also known as Electronic Benefits Transfer. This payment was formerly known as food stamps. EBT takes some of the stigma of welfare and in transaction resembles a credit or debit card.

Tonight in his address to the nation, overblown description, the president will make the case for cap and trade. This policy started in Europe during the 1970's and has been an abject failure. It has reduced the output of trade and has increased the cost to consumers to heat, light, and cook. The United States cannot afford cap and trade; it is simply a mechanism to make certain people extremely wealthy. Included in this group will be Barack Obama, Al Gore, et al. The vast majority of citizens will be hard put to heat , air condition, get to work etc. The pure selfishness of the administration and its allies is breathtaking.

No doubt there are some true believers in the so-called environmental movement, it is difficult to believe that most of them understand what they are saying. Wind power is simply not feasible on land. To replace 20% of  current US consumption will require approximately 185,000 turbine windmills. Where will they be located? They will require maintenance, will destroy flocks of birds, and will adversely effect human beings living nearby; each turbine generates noise that will certainly meet the definition of pollution.

What about solar? This method will be great during periods of global warming, but not so great once global cooling sets in during the next 30 or so years. The disgusting dishonesty of so-called scientists is amazing, yet Joe Blow gapes in wonder at their brilliance and believes they are truthful. The media watch dogs are asleep. They are in league with the devils who intend to loot the populace.

Jobs will be destroyed not created. Without private enterprise based on capitalism there is no wealth for a government to exploit. In the near future the government will have completely bankrupted the nation. As this happens fewer and fewer people will have gainful employment. Riots will be the least of the problems confront society. The more likely outcome will be some version of The Road Warrior, a scenario already beginning to play out in Mexico. It is likely that only Canada will survive economically in the Western Hemisphere.

The US government will be forced to confiscate and allocate food to those in their thrall. It will be at least a hundred years before things begin to right themselves. Already liberal progressives like Alan Grayson are calling for the forced imprisonment of anyone not agreeing with him and his colleagues. This is the fallacy of progressivism:  it always degenerates in to totaliatarism.
