HOW I SEE IT: How long before we say ‘enough’?

I can’t help but wonder just how much more American citizens are willing to take from the current administration before they cry “enough.”

Let’s do a quick recap of the last nine months in office. Other thea win the Nobel Peace Prize after being in office less then nine months, President Obama has not accomplished one thing he promised the people while campaigning. 

The Tarp package was misguided from the Bush administration, and did not work. The stimulus payments did not work despite what this administration is touting. Unemployment is almost 10% and would have been lower if nothing had been done.

Regardless of misinformation being promoted by most media outlets, the recession is a long way from over; in fact, it will be worse within two years.

We are now in the midst of one war with Afghanistan, and another one possibly kicking back up in Iraq, while this administration continues to spend dollars we do not have on things that only Congress thinks we need.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal has been waiting for more than 60 days for the president to “make a decision” on the war strategy (which the president originally suggested). While more of our troops die every day, he continues to procrastinate.

The bank bailouts did not work as taxpayers were promised — there is still little money being loaned to the public and people losing homes. The auto takeover only benefited the unions, and the Cash for Clunkers failed miserably, helping only foreign auto manufacturers. 

The proposed government-run health care bill is a continuing catastrophe, and the bill currently voted in by the Finance Committee is incomplete, has not been read by Congress, nor does anyone know what it contains, or the cost to taxpayers. This bill will have amendments added in closed-room sessions that Congress will not be allowed to read, discuss or understand. Once again, taxpayers will have trillions added to the debt of this failing economy for another “pig in the poke” that 70% of the people do not want.

Now taxpayers must question the president’s selection of czars with anti-American, anti-capitalis, and communistic sentiments that he hand-picked as an advisory group to the executive branch. Just where is he trying to take our nation?

This president and the Congress are completely ignoring the Constitution when passing bills.  The Constitution does not give authority for the president nor Congress to pass bank bailouts, take over auto dealerships, nor health care, for that matter. 

It seems as though this administration believes the taxpayer can do nothing to stop them from ignoring the will of the people.
