Welfare for All but Guess Who's Paying for it?

The recent housing crisis/mortgage meltdown/recession was a direct result of progressivist advocates of the theft-welfare state giving housing to people who did not deserve it because they could not pay for it. True to form, this Ponzi scheme that was begun and perpetuated by Obuma's ethical and ideological soulmates collapsed like a house of cards, and the mess ended up looking like most federal housing projects do after 8-10 years. The results are consistent with what happens to housing when it is occupied over time by people who have made little or no personal, economic, or material sacrifice to acquire or maintain it.

The bureaucrats at HUD, FHA, and countless housing authorities whose jobs were made secure as well as the publicly elected officials at the federal, state, and local level who won re-election from this rip-off of the workers took note of how effectively they shed the blame for their thievery. Now, they are at it again in Westchester County, NY.

Since too few people who qualify for affirmative welfare were sufficiently affluent to acquire housing there lawfully, the federal Robbing Hoods are forcing the local government to pay $50 million to provide housing for people who cannot afford to live there. This is almost certain to drive down property values. To pursue this theft is sufficiently disgusting, but to do it now that home values have recently plummeted so precipitously shows the callousness, deception, and greed of the O-Bots.

As progressivism's statist debacle continues to trample the Constitution, they continue to wave the document as justification for their theft of others' resources. The First Amendment exists only as a shell of its former self and primarily for affirmative welfare recipients. Official government censorship dampens the sort of free speech that it guarantees. Official government lies make a mockery of it. Yes, hypocrisy, or making contradictory statements whenever it is expedient, is a particularly low and despicable form of lying. This behavior is exemplified by Barack the Baloneymeister and his cadre of self-righteous pontificators.

America is nothing without political freedom, or liberty. Liberty is the absence of government interference in the lives of individuals; specifically, this means free from interference by bureaucrats who feel that so many of us need to be told what to think, how to feel, and how to live. Even if liberty gives us only the right to make choices that may eventually turn out to be wrong for us, we are better off to reject the future planned for us in Brave New Healthcare, Obuma's Animal Farm, and 1984; Twenty-five Years Later.

May your gods be with you.
