Isn't This Typical
With the economy in shambles, the Democrat-led Congress has decided to spit in the face of the American people and give themselves a raise amid the rest of their government subsidies, amenities and benefits.
In a related story, guess who's declining a payraise?
This, in the midst of President Bush's announcement of the governments continued new policy of socialistic hand-outs. This time to the auto industry.
What is going on with this crap? I'd expect this from a Marxist Obama, but not from a leader who claims to be a fiscal conservative. Was the president listening just a bit too much when one industry CEO said when speaking on behalf of the Big 3, "If one goes down we all go down."
Oh really? When the government bailed out the airline industry not that long after 9/11, didn't United Airlines still file for bankruptcy and still remain in business. In fact, to this day they're filling their planes to capacity each and every day. These three companies are independent of each other and if one does go down (or if they all do, oh well, since they have been in denial about their gas-guzzling monsters for decades) the other two would simply pick up the slack and get new customers. Either that or the business would go to Volkswagen or Honda. The Presidents reasoning?
And as for the Dems in Congress, I would normally say I can't believe their gall, but c'mon, is anybody really surprised by this? Does this not prove that they cannot be trusted with the economy? Barney Frank is no doubt doing cartwheels right now.
But as for the the president's decision, he does make some valid points in his explanation for his decision, but overall this will just facilitate more "Bush is a socialist like Obama" arguments. Totally absurd of course, but I digress.
This is yet another screw up by President Bush that the left will use in their normally inane arguments against him. This time I can't defend it.
Like I said in a post last year, I'm finding harder and harder to defend the president's decisions on anything other than the War on Terror.
