Is Barack Obama purposefully driving the U.S. to insolvency?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Given the facts, it's a reasonable question. The greatest nation in the history of the world now lies teetering on the brink of a catastrophic economic crisis, pushed to this point by a rapidly-expanding national debt and a stressed-out entitlement system, and at the center of this crisis is Barack Obama, who insists on expanding it even further, all in the name of "fairness" and "social justice."

As Jeannie DeAngelis points out at American Thinker, Barack Obama has spent the last 1,000+ days defying reason and choosing policy directions that seem nonsensical to the rational mind: a failed stimulus package; ObamaCare; growing the deficit to astronomical proportions; and cynically portraying wealth as immoral. And now, when cuts are the only fix to a budgetary balloon about to burst, a seemingly illogical President digs in and demands additional phantom dollars to spend on a system that is collapsing under the weight of unmanageable debt.

So why would a president do this to his country? Is he simply incompetent, or does he have a not-so-well-hidden agenda? DeAngelis aptly suggests its the latter. and that the president's actions are quite purposeful: It appears that he is exactly following the Cloward-Piven collective/anti-capitalist gospel that decried "individual mobility and achievement," celebrated organized labor, fostered the principle that "if each finally found himself in the same relative economic relationship to his fellows ... all were infinitely better off." Although speculative, if the Cloward-Piven strategy is indeed the basis of the president and the left's game plan, spearheaded by Saul Alinsky devotee Barack Obama, it certainly explains the President's inaction and detached attitude:

[...] Combine class warfare, demonizing the rich, getting as many people onto the welfare rolls as possible, and pushing the economic system to collapse and you have a flawless formula for Cloward-Piven 2.0 -- and a vehicle that ensures Obama remains in power.

[...] Since the 1960's when Cloward-Piven presented a socialistic guideline to usher in the type of evenhandedness Obama lauds, America's entitlement rolls have swelled from eight million to 80 million. If the nation's ability to disperse handouts were ever disrupted, it's not hard to see how chaos would erupt should an angry army of millions demand what Cloward-Piven called "the right to income."

Couple the threat of dried-up funds for food stamps, Social Security, unemployment benefits and the like with the Obama administration's vigorous campaign to turn a tiny upper class of big earners into the enemy, and you have the Cloward-Piven recipe for anarchy and complete collapse.

If the worst happened, Saul Alinsky's biggest fan, whose poll numbers continue to plummet, could use mayhem in the streets to remain firmly ensconced in the White House. Alinsky taught his students a basic principle that community organizer Barack Obama learned well: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Fiscal disintegration coupled with lawlessness would deliver the type of Cloward-Piven/Saul Alinsky trifecta that progressives have worked toward and waited decades for.

Read the whole thing here.

DeAngelis goes on to note that while radical Alinsky/Cloward-Piven disciple Obama appears to be clueless and detached, it could very well be a ploy; he may actually be focused and engaged as he purposely pursues an Alinsky-inspired course of action to force the system to "live up" to its own rules. Obama's ultimate goal of once-and-for-all discrediting the capitalist system and replacing America's foundational economic and social tenets with a broad-based socialist one headed by progressive Marxists like himself, is actually within reach.

Speculative? Of course. But how else to better explain why Barack Obama has spent the last 1,000+ days defying reason and choosing policy directions that, clearly, can only otherwise appropriately be described as totally nonsensical and with one, and only one, trajectory ... a nation living under the Cloward-Piven model?
