THIS OBAMA INSANITY MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN END…

WHAT A RABID DEMOCRAT LOOKS LIKE...

And so it would now appear that we have yet another idiotic rationale for boosting the minimum wage being put forth by yet another idiotic Democrat. This latest argument for raising the minimum wage up to $10.10 by 2016 is that while it will help "people who just want to work hard," it also will help those who want to "work less." So said Gene Sperling, a guy referred to as a White House economic adviser, to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday. So it would appear then, that what is really underway here is really an all out attempt by the Democrats to bring America much more in line with our ‘friends’ in Europe. And is that really what we want to have happen here?

This moron argued that Americans support raising the minimum wage because it will supposedly lift "struggling" families out of poverty. He claimed, "But they also know what it's like to see a friend, a neighbor, where one spouse goes back to work, who would prefer maybe not to work. Maybe they're working part-time just to supplement the family's income. And they think, if that family member is making that sacrifice -- spending less time with the child -- then they should be making a decent living or be able to work less because they're getting a decent wage." This sounds to me a great deal like what ‘Slow Joe’ Biden might refer to as being a bunch of malarkey.

And something that causes me wonder just what it might be that this supposed economic advisor is either smokin, snortin or shootin up, is the fact that this genius actually referred to the $10.10 that is now being proposed as being a "moderate increase," and he also claim that if passed it would means that people "will rely less on the government." And this boob went on to say, "These are people who just want to work hard and support their family. That's why Americans support increasing the minimum wage -- that's why the president supports it." Actually, that’s NOT the really reason Barry supports it! I think we all know what it is that motivates him.

As many of you may, or may not, recall it was the director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) who recently testified that the subsidies provided by Barry's healthcare law will most likely serve as being a "disincentive for people to work." So wouldn’t you know that now one of the supposed ‘benefits’ from raising the minimum would be that it will allow those folks who wish to "work less," to do just that. Gee, now how typically American is that? NOT! Of course, if you’re one of those who spend any amount of time listening to Keith Ellison, the dopey Democrat from Minnesota, he think’s Americans already work too much. But certainly not folks like him.

"And by providing heavily subsidized health insurance to people with very low income, and then withdrawing those subsidies as income rises, the (Affordable Care) Act creates a disincentive for people to work, relative to what would have been the case in the absence of that Act," Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee earlier this month. Elmendorf added that the subsidies "make those lower-income people better off...but they do have less of an incentive to work." So it would appear that the ‘fundamental transformation’ of America remains on track. After all, why work when you can live off the government. Welcome to Barry’s vision of America!

So I guess the question left begging for an answer is, will we ever get to the point in this country where we have a majority of Americans finally willing to rise up against this escalating level of liberal insanity? Because I’ll tell you what, I’m beginning to lose all hope that we’re ever going to be able, or even willing, to do what’s necessary for us to gain some semblance of control over the madness that continues, and pretty much completely unabated. And I can’t help but wonder what it’s going to take? How far are will be we willing to go in allowing things to continue as they are. And by the time we do finally figure things out, will it be too late to anything. Some would argue that it already is.
