President Barack Hussein Obama does not control the House of Representatives and he does not control the Senate. Time and time again bills have been rushed through congress so fast that no-one has time to read them. If you ask yourself why they are in such a hurry, then the answer becomes painfully obvious. They are trying to do something that you would never agree to if they gave you the time to think about it. Look at the trouble the progressives, who now control the government, have in ramming health care legislation through.

If you are a left-wing politician, then the last thing you would ever want to do is to give the people a chance to think about what you are doing or to contribute to the process. Any rational person who thinks about government run health care would run screaming in the opposite direction.

Let us survey things that the government has run. The post office is losing so much money that they are about to eliminate Saturday service. When the Senate ran it's own restaurant, the business lost money. The government run railroad known has Amtrak loses money every year. The government has lost track of millions of dollars in Iraq. Government losses in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were so large they bankrupted the housing market and the money markets of the entire free world. Now let me get this straight, you want people who failed miserably when they ran a hot dog stand to run health care -one seventh of the economy? Are you out of your mind?

Another reason why the transparency suddenly became illusive and obscure is what they are really doing with the trillions of dollars they are printing. As can be shown by the response to the cash for clunkers program, the economy really could be spurred if the government spending was put directly in the hands of citizens. But the stimulus money was not given to the people. It was given to government agencies and to leftist community organizations. Even now the government has admitted that most of the TARP money won't even begin to be spent until 2010. The idea they sold that they were trying to immediately stimulate the economy was a complete and total lie. The progressives now in power were seeking to pay off political favors and strengthen the power of the central government.

Finally, if the people knew what the inevitable result would be of printing and borrowing trillions of dollars, the Democratic party would lose it's place in America permanently. We are due to see inflation that will rival Zimbabwe and the Wiemar Republic. If you didn't know better, you might think that the United States of America was being deliberately bankrupted to drive it's economy beneath third world status. Why it's almost as though the entire government was full of people who are taking bribes from China and India to lose the economic game on purpose. But this can't be so. Surely it's all a coincidence.
