A toast to tea parties
Some 300 have been scheduled. Several dozen large ones have been held, although you seldom find coverage in national newspapers. The Los Angeles Times went so far as to posture a principled decision not to give in to theater they regular give in to on the left. The Times overlooks the ideas worth covering. Try these tea party ideas on for size: - Repeal so-called "Stimulus" pet project earmarks scheduled for 2009-2010 that offer little stimulation.
- Repeal so-called "Stimulus" spending for the years 2011 and beyond because scheduling such things now is not stimulus, but rather designed to prepare the election battlefield for 2012.
- Cut out the massive drag on future GDP from the Obama 2010 budget by removing extraordinary intrusive social engineering that covers up problems rather than solves them. Kill massive "Murtha effect" special deals for special people. We've already spent too much money that we don't have.
- Allow TARP money to be returned voluntarily immediately to unshackle private companies from the heavy hand of presidents who want control of private companies.
- Allow some business and some ill-advised home ownership to fail, just the way some fires are good for the forest and nature's way of enabling new growth.
- Hold politicians accountable for their words, their actions, and their associations. They associate with some pretty stinky characters.
- Drop the idea that the government knows what is right and must be in charge. It's regularly wrong, unleashing consequences worse than the disease. The Community Reinvestment Act protected and put on steroids by Congress caused the housing crisis and regulator forced "Mark to Market" rules precipitated the capital crunch. Government undermined capitalism; capitalism didn't undermine government.
Politicians won't admit to being the underlying cause of the problems they presume to solve. Leaders don't need more power to force when they should instead convince people why they should change how they act.
While initial action by the Treasury and Federal Reserve deflected major financial collapse, that does not justify Obama and Congress, under false rhetoric, to use the incident as an opportunity to hogtie our children into a government-dominated society that sucks both liberty and economic earnings into a downward spiraling whirlpool that will destroy future wealth and hope for all, including the least among us they purport to help.
Get your fingers out of our wallets. Get your hands off our business. Get your silly ideas out of our schools. Get your lies out of our faces. Get your destructive socialism out of our future.
