America's Locust Years
Christopher Chantrill * American Thinker
President Post-partisan is submitting a bait-and-switch budget to Congress this week: more taxes, more spending, and it’s only two months after the legal deadline. So that’s another year for the locusts. Scott Johnson at Powerline was already talking about the year the locusts ate at the end of 2009.
For a bit of context, Winston Churchill gave his “Locust Years” speech in November 1936, and he was talking about the mere two years that the locusts had eaten since Hitler had come to power and started rearmament.
But here in the Obama wilderness years it’s four locust years of cheap money and trillion-dollar deficits with no end in sight.
Meanwhile the president met with Republican senators and accused Americans of munching up the seed corn, according to New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes (H/T Powerline).
President Obama had Senate Republicans nodding in agreement during a recent ice-breaking dinner as he described a basic problem for the nation’s fiscal future: For each dollar that Americans pay for Medicare, they ultimately draw about $3 in benefits. What’s more, he added, most people do not understand that.
Now, I wonder how it could be that the American people don’t understand that they are not paying full freight on their Medicare benefits? I met with several good New York Times readers belonging to the Greatest Generation recently and none of them mentioned the Medicare 3 for 1 deal. Okay, one of them said that she thought Medicare worked pretty well. Maybe President Obama could exercise his considerable oratorical talents and start a national conversation about the financing of Medicare. Maybe he should send out Attorney General Holder to tell us we are all cowards.
