On Robbing Peter To Pay Paul: 'Obama And Pelosi Want To Drill Americans Instead Of Drilling For Oil

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Arnold Ahlert over at Political Mavens obviously understands that only the most simple minded Americans could fall for Obama's and Pelosi's "Emergency Economic Plan" which is, as he passionately points out, is "based on nothing less than an unbridled sense of entitlement":

Only in a country completely ignorant of basic economics could an "Emergency Economic Plan" proposed by Barack Obama be taken seriously. A brief summary of the details? Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Barack Obama proposes taking "excess" oil company profits and giving individual Americans five hundred bucks apiece and married couples a grand. No doubt this is an attractive plan to those Americans convinced of certain "realities:" oil companies are inherently evil; an endless supply of cheap fuel is a birthright; government can solve any problem; the law of supply and demand is irrelevant; I deserve the money.

That such a plan does exactly nothing to help the country in the long run is irrelevant to the legions of self-absorbed nitwits that buy into the politics of envy and class warfare. And it is mother's milk to the enviro-nazis who yearn to see America reduced to a Third World country.

Stealing from one to give to another-and that's precisely what Sen. Obama is proposing-solves nothing. It only kicks the energy football further down the field toward the inevitable: monstrously high energy prices due to dwindling supplies. A thousand dollar rebate and the law of supply and demand ceases to exist? Only an idiot-or someone who assumes all of us are idiots-would foist such a gimmick on the public.

You can read the entire piece here ...

I think we can safely surmise that Mr. Ahlert will not be voting for Barack Obama.
