My prediction on the ARRA 2009, or Obamilus 2009 as I call it, will be that it will cause the country to slip further into economic depressive profiles, but the White House and Congressional leadership will find a way to blame the Republicans paving the way for more such overreaching bills in the future. The USA is truly becoming the USSA before our eyes much more quickly than even I could have envisioned.
America, you will now get what you voted for, and I hope its what you wanted. I am not angry at those that voted for BHO and his now-Republican supported SMDC. The democratic process worked in the election of 2008, and I accept that reality. What I will not accept is the direction and manner in which the SMDC and BHO are taking and using to get their agenda pushed into place.
Why can't the BHO administration and SMDC adhere to the normal process of appropriations creation, hearings, public comment, and debate before passage of the largest spending bill in the history of the world? What are they afraid of? What is in this now soon-to-be law that would scare the public if the light of day were to shine on it? Why did they want to print it in the dead of night, limit debate to a mere 12 hours on over 1000 pages of sometime hand-written changes, non-computerized non-searchable document releases, and then chastise the opposition for opposing it? When legislation is accomplished in this manner, it makes me leery of the content and outcome.
However, I am not one for crying over the proverbial "spilt milk." BHO and his SMDC have the votes to pass anything they want, they have, and they did. Fait Accompli! Jousting at windmills is a poor use of my limited time.
Spending the most precious commodity of time wisely is what pre-occupies my time and thoughts in an environment hostile to personal achievement. Future generations will have to right this ship of state since I do not believe America can be fixed, and my time is better spent elsewhere.
I will blog occasionally as the spirit leads, but I am not going to spend more blogging time on my personal efforts blog (http://youcanbefixed.blogspot.com) chronicling my journey towards helping myself and others deal with a different country and the impact it will have on our collective futures.
See you over there.
