It is said that victory has a thousand fathers but that defeat is an orphan. Nowhere is the truth of that phrase more evident than in the Democratic Party today. When anything positive occurs, there is a frenzy to claim credit; but the Party “leaders” refuse to take responsibility for any of the economic turmoil they have caused.
Part of being a leader is owning up to the responsibility of your mistakes. While it is fine that liberals and conservatives have a fundamental difference of opinion on how to turn our country around, what is intolerable is the unwillingness by the left to yield to cold, hard facts that indicate that their radical, socialist agenda is not working. If they don’t believe me, I’ll be happy to show them the figures.
As I discussed earlier, the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% for August, but only because 368,000 people have been out of work so long, they are no longer factored into the calculations. While this news is troubling, what’s even worse is that the Democrats, who control the Senate and the White House, have no plans to correct our economic problems.
Okay, I’ll take that back- they have no good ideas to fix the problems. Since to them more government seems to be the panacea to fix any malady, the solutions most proposed by Democrats is to just create a bigger government and to throw money we don’t have at the problem. However, it is that radical bastardization of Keynesian economics that ballooned our national debt to a whopping $16 trillion and provided us with nothing in return but a GDP of 1.7%.
