It's all Ponzi schemes right the way down. The thick-headedness of the entitlement politicians and the unions who own them is astonishing. Obama himself is such a mass of contradictions, some say dishonesty, that we can't trust a thing he says. He has such childlike faith in the power of deficit spending to cure all ills it would be pathetic, if he weren't all suffering for his mistakes.

I keep coming back to his life choice to be a community organizer, a term than no more than one in ten Americans could relate to or explain. What it means is the opposite of democracy. It's unionism and coercion. Unless we break their power and learn the lesson that Liberalism, Progressivism, Socialism or whatever it calls itself can't be trusted to keep its promises and will inevitably destroy our rights and independence.
