Like many of you I was dozing off and on during President Obama’s State of the Union/Campaign speech the other night, so could be that I missed his proposed strategies for reducing our massive national debt (- which has grown by 5 trillion on his watch!)…?

I did happen to catch the class warfare “fairness” lecture. Guess agitating the malcontents is his solution to the crisis he’s created (Cloward-Piven ring a bell?).
 
At least the GOP candidates seem to get it. Particularly Rick Santorum who – incidentally, I thought did a stellar job in articulating the contrast between God-given rights and government-given rights – in last night’s debate, strongly emphasized the imperative of dealing with the looming debt crisis. First order of business – stop spending like a bunch of drunken Leftists!
 
This video from the Heritage Foundation briefly illustrates the challenges we face, especially with regard to the massive entitlement programs:
 

I’m sure our thin-skinned POTUS was watching last night’s GOP debate. Not to glean any insight into fixing the economy, just to plot against the opposition, and devise more campaign propaganda to foist upon the masses. Here in Michigan today he’s out insinuating to college students that since education costs are so high, they shouldn’t have to be responsible for their loans – and they should call their representatives and whine about “unfair” bank practices. Yeah, that’ll put us on the road to economic recovery. Let’s emulate Greece.
 
Even though the true fiscal state of the union is nearing critical mass, President Obama would apparently rather keep adding fuel to the fire, fan the flames, then jump back and wait for the meltdown.

Another great article by Mark Steyn which ties in nicely with this post: Sorry, Newt. Only the debt ceiling will reach the moon ~

There are times for dreaming big dreams, and there are times to wake up. This country will not be going to the moon, any more than will be the British or French. Because, in decline, the horizons shrivel. The only thing that’s going to be on the moon is the debt ceiling. Before we can make any more giant leaps for mankind, we have to make one small, dull, prosaic, earthbound step here at home – and stop. Stop the massive expansion of microregulatory government, and then reverse it. Obama has vowed to press on. If Romney and Gingrich can’t get serious about it, he’ll get his way.
