The Only Trouble Is
President Obama went to a busy window-manufacturing plant near here on Friday to promote his economic policies and his new team of advisers as the monthly jobs report reflected only modest employment growth. “We will not rest until we have fully recovered from this recession,” the president told workers. (NYT, 1/7/11)
RedStateVT watched the President make this address. It was boilerplate stuff that you would typically see from any president, Democrat or Republican. What struck us, however, were Obama’s comments that his administration had been focused for the past two years on job creation and helping businesses grow. While we are certainly glad that Obama is focused on these issues now, it is deceitful for him to say that they were priorities in the past.
How Indeed?
Amid the repeal debate, Democrats and the media are behaving as if they have no knowledge of Congress's habits or the history of government health-care programs over the last half-century. Entitlements are always sold as modest and "paid for," then years later everyone suddenly discovers that they are "unaffordable" without digging deeper into the pockets of the middle class. How do you think Medicare and Medicaid got to their current pass? (WSJ, 1/8/11)
Democrats want more and more government entitlements without ever explaining how to fix the broken ones we already have.
