Obama’s Strategy has been plain and simple from the beginning,
to completely overwhelm the American people with plan after plan that he wants
to pass and to put them to the Senate and House (With all checks and balances
removed ) at such a rate that the American people have no time to respond much
less gather opposition for whatever bill is being passed on a given day.
One of the things that
one increasingly hears around and about among the millions of Americans who are
clearly disturbed by the direction in which Obama is taking the country is that
so much information is thrown at us that it's difficult to keep up.
Once the opposition
studies a proposal or a statement of policy and formulates a thoughtful
response, Obama and company has moved on--way beyond--with a string of further
proposals and policy statements.
And this is precisely a
major part of the Obama playbook. I call it 'Operation Information
Overload.'
The gist of the plan is
to bombard the public with so much information concerning changes and policy
initiatives that it becomes impossible for the human brain to process it.
The rapid-fire dissemination of information on what Obama plans to do is faster
than the pace at which the brain is able to adequately assimilate it. The
result is that most people give up, and the media lets things that should be
investigated slide so that they can deal with the latest string of information
the Obama team shoots at them.
No doubt this is by
design.
While the electorate,
the loyal opposition, and the media attempt to decipher, understand, assimilate, process, interpret, and formulate a response to
the barrage of information they have been given, much harm can be done behind
the scenes while no one is paying attention.
This is precisely how
Obama has succeeded in giving the electorate, even most people who voted for
him, much more than they bargained for. Most Americans had no idea that
by voting for Obama they were signing off on 10 trillion dollars' worth of debt
over 10 years, a quadrupling of the deficit in one year, the federal government
assuming it can fire the executives of private corporations, or the
multi-billions in tax increases Obama will be forced to levy on the public,
even the middle class, in order to pay for the debt he has incurred.
And while most
Americans have been left scratching their heads, Obama has succeeded in putting
the country on the road to financial ruin. As Myrtle Beach Conservative Examiner Nancy Morgan
states in her explosive column, 'The Devil in the Details,'
Our
budget deficit in 2009 will top $1.8 trillion dollars. That's a 400% increase over last
years' deficit. Translation: For every dollar the government spends, .48 will
be borrowed. Budget office figures released Monday would add $89 billion to the
2009 red ink — increasing it to more than four times last year's all-time high.
One
doesn't have to be an economist or a degenerate gambler to know that a house
built on sand eventually collapses. We're already seeing it. The
Even Obama himself
stated before an audience on Friday that the nation cannot sustain the level of
debt and deficit spending that he himself has run up. And how would he
propose to fix it? Simple. Get set for
monstrous tax increases that will dwarf anything we've ever seen in American
history, beginning next year.
Once again, Morgan
states,
President
Obama's "Budget Blueprint" proposes to raise the tax rate on
dividends and capital gains from 15 percent to 20 percent. Heritage
Foundation says: "This works out to $27
billion of lost value for current and future retirees unnecessarily
redistributed to Congress. That works out to $434 of lost retirement savings
for each family."
In case
we the people object, Obama has also proposed nearly doubling funds to enforce U.S. tax laws next year, with an aim of more
than quadrupling funding for tax compliance to $2.1 billion within five years.
Tax compliance means IRS. You know, the agency that
wields absolute power over each and every one of us. (Correction: over everyone
who is not an elected official or heading up a government agency).
And then, to top it
off, there's this little item:
Next
up: The Obama administration will propose $60
billion in new tax increases over 10 years on wealthy estates, businesses
and others to pay for an expensive overhaul of the health-care system. After
all, the rich are only rich because they exploited the poor. And the poor,
(again, as defined by the left) have a right to health care, just as they now
have the right to housing, education, absolute equality and the right not to be
offended. Its called social justice. And its a wonderful thing, allowing our elites moral cover as
they pick our pockets bare.
The devil is in the
details, indeed! The Morgan article is a must-read for anyone who wishes
to become truly informed about the many ways Obama is changing the face of
We had better start
paying close attention or we will most definitely lose the most affluent way of
life the world has ever seen.
