Political commentary, opinion & insight into the state of the United States of America.

How did old Bernie scam all those smart people all those years? He gave them nice returns on their investments in bad times as well as good. Kept the money coming in the front door so the returns could be paid. No one ever had any immediate pain. In many of these schemes there are no tax forms sent with the checks. That’s even better. You can get the investor in an illegal situation and it’s harder for the investor to complain if the money stops coming. Instant gratification. That’s what runs this country today. 

So, let’s get the good times rolling again in the old USA. All we have to do is stiff our kids and grand kids. Spend, spend, and spend until we get spending going again. Put off all the pain for 10 years. Get everyone reelected. Make the public happy. We fixed the problem. Of course, those in power in ten years will find what we did impossible to fix, but that’s not our problem. 

Let’s not just fix the immediate problem, but while we are at it, let’s fix all the problems we have ever talked about fixing all at the same time. Health care, environment, energy, labor, free speech, gun control, and more government control over every aspect of human life. Let’s do it all now. What’s a few trillion more?

Look how long Bernie pulled it off. Obama only has to do it four more years, he’ll be re elected, then pass the problem off to the next fool in eight years. 

It’s the biggest ponzi scheme ever undertaken. Instead of counting on the money coming in the front door to finance the farce, we borrow against the future and use that to buy love. 

Since the U.S. has pretty much lost all common sense, the timing’s perfect.

Keep focus on big problems like the AIG bonus money, and not on the $2 trillion in useless spending.

Make people feel good about universal health care, not mad about the 12 million illegals who will get the benefits. 

Tell people you will keep them from losing their homes, but you are just delaying the problem with more spending.

Save the auto industry, but force them to build small cars like the Smart car that is piling up in Penske lots all over America.

Common sense with Madoff went like this. I know a guy who knows a guy who can get you in as a client with Bernie. He’s not taking new clients, but I think I can pull some strings. Here’s a list of who’s who that are Bernies’s clients. Don’t you want to join the smart crowd.

Common sense with Obama goes like this. President Obama is really smart. He’s a great communicator. Hence, he must be good at running the country. We need to trust him and give him a chance to prove he’s what we need.

My common sense goes like this. A consummate campaigner, he’s still campaigning. He’s not doing a lick of real work. He’s totally clueless about the future damage he’s doing to this country. He’s in awe of himself and what’s happened to him so fast. He’s surrounded himself with mediocre people. He is delegating everything to an inept congress. He is above the fray. Loving himself as much as he believes the nation loves him. Not a lick of common sense or a bit of concern for what might come down the road in ten years.
