Yesterday's Schedule for Dear Ruler

[Neal Boortz]

A Tweep alerted me to this. He visited the WhiteHouse.gov website and
took a look the SCOAMF’s schedule for yesterday. Here .. you can look
at this for yourself. You will note that Dear Ruler and Boy Blunder
first attended their Presidential Daily Briefing at 10:45. Then, 45
minutes later, this is what showed up on the schedule:

:11:30 AM
:
:The President and the Vice President attend a meeting with members of
:the labor community and other progressive leaders to discuss the
:actions we need to take to keep our economy growing and find a balanced
:approach to reduce our deficit.
:
:The Roosevelt Room

Closed Press

Now do you see anything odd about this? Does anything just leap off the
page at you? The purpose of the meeting was to discuss some ways to
keep our economy growing and to find a “balanced” approach to reduce our
deficit, right?

Okay … first point. Where were the business leaders? Isn’t a big
component of economic growth encouraging the expansion of the business
sector? Wouldn’t it be nice if business owners would invest more in
growth and expansion and perhaps hire more workers in the process?
You’re right, I’m no economist --- but it seems to me that any meeting –
especially at this level – would include business owners.

Next point: What about people from the financial sector? Don’t these
people also have a role to play in economic growth? Perhaps a business
would need to borrow some funds, or reorganize some debt to facilitate
an expansion. Where was the financial sector in this meeting?

But just who DID Dear Ruler meet with? Labor unions and liberals.
That’s it. No businessmen. No business finance experts. Nobody
representing the free market. Just labor unions and liberals.

Now look again at the last seven words of that meeting description. “… a
balanced approach to reduce our deficit.” Study these words for a while
and something will slowly dawn on you. The phrase addresses reducing
the deficit, not reducing spending. Obama, you see, is an all-time
champ when it comes to spending. Even with increasing tax revenues he
has managed to rack up the four greatest deficits since World War II;
over $1 Trillion each and every year. But government spending is the
Holy Grail to Obama. He flat-out stated that it is government spending
that makes this country great, and if you’re a president who believes
that moose squeeze you are not going to willingly going the allow the
very thing that makes America great – government spending – recede.

So .. the focus is not on spending but on reducing the deficit. And
just how do you do that? Of course! By raising taxes! At the end of
the meeting Richard Trumka, a leading union goon, announced that the
rich need to “start” paying their fair share of taxes. START? You mean
that group, the evil 1% that earns about 18% of all income, yet pays
almost 38% of all income taxes, needs to START paying their fair share?
And after the meeting Obama, of course, once again bleated about raising
taxes on the rich.

Today Dear Ruler will have a press conference. There is not one ounce
of doubt that he will once again preach the mantra of tax increases on
the rich. This has been the focus of his political life since he was a
Senator. Raising taxes on the rich is and has been the be-all and
end-all of Obama’s life right now.

Meanwhile .. that jobs council that Obama formed at the beginning of
this year? Hasn’t met in more than nine months.
