Only Government Bloodsuckers Made More Money Last Year
This, specifically, is in response to the news that while the rest of us are losing our jobs, suffering pay cuts or are just fearful of future job losses, government employment has shot up by about 250,000 since Obama took office and, of course, that government pay is increasingly lavish (heard on Rush today that the union bosses claims this is because of the high level of skill and education needed to run government…riiiiight…).
It will be hard for the historian 50 years from now to determine which particular government straw broke the back – and the patience – of the American people. But, no doubt about it, people are mad as heck and aren’t going to take it any more. I started writing up what I saw as a Second American Revolution about 16 months ago – when the evidence for it was still thin. By this point you’ve got to be willfully blind to not see the political tsunami brewing.
Turns out that “willfully blind” is an apt description of 90% of the elected Democrat party, and probably a good 40% of the elected GOP. The Ruling Class seems oblivious to the change in public attitude – the Democrats seem to think that if they can just smear the GOP a bit and remind everyone how much they disliked President Bush in 2008, all will be well. A stupid illusion – but I hope it holds until November 2nd; or, at least, until early October when it will really be far too late to change things.
