Grumpa Joe's Place

    Hope and Change are the hallmark campaign slogans that excited the country. So were all the promises. Most of which can never be kept. Consider the promise, not to have any lobbyists in the administration. Even I loved that one. The government is loaded with big money interests trying to buy favors. That system is exactly what the voters believed would change. It has not. Instead of lobbyists who work for capitalistic interests, we have thirty something czars on the payroll. Obama hired all of them to change the country by infiltrating and revising the procedures of the bureaucracy. How is this any different from a bunch of former government employees who know how to use the Washington ropes?

    The inside lobbyists (czars) are affecting non-capitalistic type policy. So, instead of affecting what business favors a company can get, they are affecting the liberties we enjoy. They promote ideas like manmade global warming, and propose policies to tax the polluters and give the money to third world countries. What is that all about? What about the idea, that the country becomes less dependent on foreign oil? The insider lobbyists defeat any move toward drilling that affects the environment. Instead, they push for nuclear power without any regard for how to deal with waste. Never mind that the waste remains lethal for twenty thousand years. I guess we will have to wait for the Chinese to find a way to neutralize the waste.  Also being affected are gun control, freedom of speech, your paycheck, the car you drive, health care, and more. There is a minimum of thirty-two insider lobbyists working overtime to get favors from the system. This excludes all the campaign donors like Soros who like to push the president’s buttons.

     Yesterday, I read a news item about George Soros. He thinks Obama screwed up. Soros actually condones the takeover of the banking system, and he is angry with BO for missing the opportunity. He invested a lot of money to get the boy elected, and he expects a return.
