At what point, one wonders, will liberal voters say enough is enough of the green energy debacle? At what point will THEY admit, OPENLY, that Obama’s green energy program is nothing but a huge lie?
How much money, belonging to American taxpayers, will have to be wasted?
Enbridge Energy Partners and Silver State North went into operation last week and will now file for up to $50 million dollars in U.S. taxpayer stimulus money. Compared to Solyndra, that’s not much. Also compared to Solyndra, this company is BOOMING!!!
What do we GET for OUR $50 million?
We get 2 full-time jobs and energy that costs 3 times as much as energy from natural gas.
Allow me to connect some dots here.
If you are a liberal/socialist who has bought into this festering administration’s green policies and think they are the greatest thing since the invention of the bean sprout, dreadlocks or facial piercing…
You would run out and buy a Chevy Volt from Government Motors at a price at least twice that of a gas burning counterpart, plug it in directly to this Nevada solar debacle and pay 3 times what it would cost you to charge it up from a natural gas power source so that you could drive about 30 miles before you would have to charge it up again.
You would also have to take a great deal of pride in the fact that 2 people would be taken off the unemployment line knowing that creating those jobs cost American taxpayers $25 million dollars each.
Finally, you would have to start now, compiling a list of excuses for this company’s future bankruptcy filing because recent history shows us that they will go bust; and while you are doing that, hope that your Volt, sitting in your garage, doesn’t go up in flames faster than this solar company does or your tax money did.
Instead of asking, “When will liberal voters say enough is enough of the green energy debacle?” perhaps the more appropriate question would be… “How on earth can liberal voter continue to defend ANY of Obama’s abhorrent use of taxpayer money?”
First, what we, as conservatives, must realize is that liberal/socialists have a major obstacle in reaching such a conclusion.
Liberal/socialists do not relate government spending to their own money.
They think the money the government spends is the government’s money.
Liberal/socialists must first realize that the government has no money of their own. None. Not a single red cent of what government spends, wisely or foolishly, belongs to the government.
In fact, liberal/socialists believe quite the opposite. They believe that the money they earn actually belongs to the government and it is the government which allows them to keep some of it. Further, they believe that the government should take whatever the government wants and distribute it or redistribute it as they see fit. Whatever the government allows them to keep is a gift…from the government.
If it’s the government’s money after all, why then should they not be allowed to spend it as they wish?
To a liberal/socialist, any money they have to spend as THEY wish is their allowance…Given to them by the government and the idea that some people get a bigger allowance, simply isn’t fair. Their needs, after all, should be provided by the government and their wants, well, that’s what their allowance is for and nobody should be able to purchase bigger or better or more extravagant toys than anyone else.
Until liberal/socialists come to the conclusion that conservative have reached, that money earned belongs to the individuals who earned it and whatever money the government spends is the allowance the individuals give to the government…no ground can be gained in making them see the absolute stupidity of this current administration’s policies.
As conservatives, we continue to warn liberal/socialists that we, as a nation, are on the verge of becoming Greece. This does not register with liberal/socialists.
Liberal/socialists WANT to become Greece they just think, for some unexplainable reason, that we can become Greece and avoid the austerity issues Greece is now facing. IN Greece, their liberal socialists are very upset because their government can no longer afford to give them their allowance OR take care of their needs.
Why?
Because Greece, like all other socialist nations have or eventually will…has run out of other people’s money.
Other people’s money?
Yes, liberal/socialists…Other people’s money. They have spent all the money they could take away from the Greek people AND they’ve spent all the money they could possible borrow from other countries. In the process of taking care of their wards of the state, from cradle to grave, just as Obama has outlined with his fictitious Julia, they have run dry. Bone dry.
That means reality has descended upon them and Greek socialists, like liberal/socialists over here, really hate reality. Because of reality, Greek socialists are taking to the streets, rioting, burning and DEMANDING the government take care of them. They are rioting against any measure which would require them to take any bit of responsibility for their own situations.
Add 2 or 3 years of work before they can retire and receive their allowance? Not on their Greek socialist lives. Pay into their OWN retirement pensions? Not on their Greek socialist lives. Pay something towards their own health care? NOT ON THEIR GYRO EATING GREEK SOCIALIST LIVES!!!
Why not? Because they are entitled to being taken care of by the government.
Sarkosy saw it coming and was taking steps to change course away from certain disaster. In France last week, French socialists voted him out and replaced him with a socialist “leader” who is hell bent on turning Paris into Athens.
Over here, we are marching toward the cliff. Liberal/socialists believe there is no cliff but even if there is, the government, with the government’s money, will build an invisible bridge over the endless abyss. Should that bridge eventually come to an end, the government will surely provide a golden parachute.
Obama’s green energy program is just one piece of the socialist puzzle and reality paints a very different picture.
There is a cliff. We are marching towards it. There will be no invisible bridge nor will there be parachutes. When liberal/socialists hit the rocks at terminal velocity, they will blame those who bought their own parachutes with their own money.
And standing at the edge of that cliff, there is someone issuing the order…
“Forward.”
Austerity was the word of the year in 2010. It is destin to be the word of the decade if not longer.
