THE UNITED STATES VOTES FOR EVEN GREATER DEBT.

One of the tragedies of early 21st century politics is the sight of the Americans seeking a mythical refuge in the type of illusory attitudes being practised within the European Union. Please understand, it won't work. Borrowing ones way out of economic troubles is self-inflicting more crises, and consider, to whom will you owe this enormous debt. We can't repeat this often enough, the States already have to pay to China, in interest alone, enough to cover the cost of the Chinese military, and by re-electing Barack Obama, that figure will continue to grow. Britain was brought to its knees by the economic neophyte, Gordon Brown, who spent much of his time throwing OPM (other peoples money) at almost everything that supposedly made him look good. He was simultaneously buying votes. The farce here is, the fact that the good people of the USA have returned a President who makes Brown's shortcomings pale into insignificance.

Like all socialism, the politicians avoid the dangerous battleground of that posed by the economic plight. They promise eye catching nonsense that appeals to the young, who have never had the responsibility of making ends meet. Another good ploy is to introduce abortion into the arena, as if this is a lifestyle choice, along with the bilge about being part of the woman's body alone. The female of the species is privileged to carry children, nature designed it that way, but it brings responsibility. There are, no doubt, occasions when medical grounds call for termination; it is, however, ending the life of a living being. Such things must be repugnant to those who consider, quite rightly, the economy is what needs correcting. Leaving mountains of deferred taxes for future generations is an absolute disgrace. Strangely enough, many of the electorate that voted for this will also have to pick up the tab. Remembering who your creditor is should also have a sobering effect. Hopefully, the Republican majority within government will save the day.

SOCIALISM HAS ALWAYS LACKED LOGIC.
