President Obama says he wants a freeze in non-security, discretionary spending. Libertarian Party Executive Director Wes Benedict points out that in the unlikely event that happens, it won't really matter, because to make a real dent in the deficit, it's necessary to cut spending on the military and entitlements. The president promised big government in the past, and he delivered. Benedict expects more of the same.
Benedict asserts that Obama has truly been a hypocrite on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a candidate, he promised to end them. Yesterday we heard more hollow promises. The fact is, as president, he has kept those wars going, and has greatly escalated the war in Afghanistan. As a percentage of GDP, military spending is higher now than it was during any year of the George W. Bush administration. Unlike President Obama, Libertarians would bring the American troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and reduce the military budget.
On the Republican side, Benedict found Congressman Paul Ryan's hypocrisy appalling. He claims to want big cuts in government spending. But he didn't seem to be too worried about cutting spending when Republicans were in charge. He supported the huge Medicare expansion in 2003, and the expensive No Child Left Behind Act in 2001. He supports the expensive War on Drugs. In 2008, he put hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at risk by voting for the massive TARP bailout, and he even voted to spend billions on the GM and Chrysler bailout.
Just one month ago, Congressman Ryan voted for the tax compromise that included a big increase in unemployment spending, and even extensions of government spending on ethanol. Republicans don't want to cut spending -- they want to talk about cutting spending. Congressman Paul Ryan is a perfect example of why Republicans are bad for America.
Benedict states that Republicans' plans for Social Security and Medicare are little more than a distraction. It's time for someone to have the guts to tell seniors the truth: Americans were promised way too much, and now they've got to make major cuts. Benedict is asking retirees to think about the enormous debts piling up on their children and grandchildren. Libertarians would stop spending billions on bailouts, the War on Drugs, federal education programs, and they would end mandatory Social Security and Medicare.
If America does not stop spending, wars, and taxes, it might deteriorate to the miserable level of Greece, a Fourthreichian country harassed by freakish Graecokleptocrats and brutal Graecocybercops. The impunity of the 300 Graecokleptocrats of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square is the most freakish thing on Earth. Even though they looted many billion euros in kickbacks and churning, not a single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail! They are protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody can touch them, no matter what. Moreover, they have the nerve to jail dissident bloggers. It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas!
Premier George Papandreou of Greece crossed the Rubicon on October 18, 2010, when his deranged minister destroyed a distinguished professor and dissident blogger. That's why the Global Tax Revolt declared October 18 as the International Day Against Cybercop Brutality. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt
The freakish government of Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich, robs computers and terrorizes the blogosphere! Why on Earth Durao Barroso, Neelie Kroes, Viviane Reding, and Cecilia Malmstroem of the European Commission cannot rein in Graecokleptocrats? If Fourth Reich(EU) cannot protect Greeks from the Greek government, who will? Greek dissident bloggers want back their stolen computers, their stolen files, their stolen persona data, and their stolen lives. Restitution is a basic right in a civil society. Brutal Graecocybercops should be abolished now.
