During
the orgy of sentimentality and nauseating phony emotions following the
Tragic Death of Buckingham Barbie (Princess Di) the Mercedes Benz
motorcar company felt obliged to explain why the Magic Chariot didnt
prevent this vacuous, completely unaccomplished but very photogenic
person's death. "Every technique of modern engineering has been
employed to make our cars as safe as it is possible to be but no
engineering can overcome the laws of physics," was the response but the
proles were inconsolable and not likely to be molified by ugly
Barbiephobic statements like this.
We might want to consider
that statement in another context as our current crop of social
engineers apply their modern techniques to our helpless nation. As with
the lovely Windsorian Cinderella our speeding national agenda is in the
hands of a group of people drunk with power and trying to stay one
length ahead of the pursuing hounds who are baying the truth about the
impending doom of every single thing that these morons have considered
true for the last seventy years. They feel that they are safe and that
the only thing this well-engineered society needs is ever more
intricate engineering.
They have conveniently replaced the
Constitution with Catch 22. Catch-22 is easier to learn than the
Constitution. It goes like this: 'We can do anything you cant stop us
from doing'. Ya got that? Power is everything, the end justifies the
means. The entire social structure born from the lies and illegal
actions of FDR, with his quasi-fascist NRA, expanded through a long
line of presidents, Republican and Democrat, and fattened by a long
line of Congresses, Republican and Democrat and realized in the form of
a bureaucracy that increasingly invades more and more of what used to
be considered private conduct, is headed for the concrete pillar of
reality.
The word 'unsustainable' is used more and more to
describe the current fiscal situation. This is after the top-drawer
geniuses in every country spent several trillion dollars pursuing
Keynesian stimulus policies without a single voice seriously
questioning whether the world could borrow its way to prosperity. The
madcap borrowing and crashing demographics are already starting a
domino collapse of geriatric Europe. Instead of the Cradle to Grave
social welfare systems so lovingly described for decades by our native
lefties we see No Cradle to Grave societies. Because confiscatory taxes
and a stagnant, spiritually empty conformity cause the totally
self-centered members of these nations to forgo procreation as too
expensive and too much trouble (No Cradles) most countries in Western
Europe are looking at the total extinction of their native populations
in another two generations. No Cradles lead one's society to the Grave.
But
Catch 22 is still driving policy. The deluded Democrats have become as
heedless of their own political survival as they have been to our
national survival. They are trying to override the Constitution in the
name of Catch 22 by nationalizing one sixth of the national economy, a
sector already reeling from excessive government intervention. That
they think they can do this very unpopular act by a parliamentary trick
that does an end-run around the clear language of the Constitution
makes you ask whether they have completely lost their grip on reality.
People
are freaked out. They've had more than a year of this and they are
getting madder. Now the Administration, the one which supposedly was
'focused like a laser-beam' on unemployment has extended unemployment
benefits and announced that this fake 10%, real 20% unemployment rate
is acceptable and likely to be permanent. You got that, you Hope and
Change voters? Permanent. You people in your 50s who have been cut
loose from shrinking industries, TOUGH! Stop sniveling about your
unimportant 'careers', take your permanently extended unemployment and
shut up. Kids emerging from the university with a worthless degree and
six-figure debt, why not start your life's journey off by sitting in
your parent's spare room dodging calls from student loan bill
collectors?
All this to support the public employee unions and
their avatars in the Democratic Party. They're all doing great, riding
the speeding luxury vehicle they have so superbly engineered. No
problems across the wide Potomac in deep Obamaland. There are ever more
subsidies, handouts, phony make-work jobs to friends and glowing press
releases. The people who are doing this are graduates of the top
schools but they dont understand what it is that causes wealth to exist
and that one of its main components is morality.
Huh? What?
Morality has a bad name these days. That's what nosy, holier-than-thou
people invoke to stick their schnozolas into other people's business.
Annoying and really what does morality have to do with wealth? Who are
you to say that I'm a bad person anyway? Its just my private life, for
Pete's Sake!
Morality is the laws of physics. Wealthy societies
are built and maintained by people who are moral. Wealth is created by
you and I working together confident that we can trust each other's
good intentions. Morality is having good intentions. When I am pursuing
my passion and working towards the future I understand that if people
motivated and competent cant take me at my word they will not work with
me. I am obliged to respect their needs and feelings if I am to earn
their respect. The competent people all know each other. A skillful
boss allows these people to do their jobs with as little interference
as possible. They wont slack off, they wont steal. Companies that
encourage the slackers and the loafers at the expense of the worker
bees will soon go into the red.
Which brings us to our current
crop of geniuses, whether corporate or governmental. They reward
incompetence. They encourage, in the name of fairness, a feeling of
entitlement that makes any other motivation self-defeating. They evade
legality and they lie about it in terms of glowing selflessness. Now
they are flouting the Law Of Unsustainability formulated by Herb Stein
(father of Ben and chief economist under Nixon) which goes like this:
'Things that are unsustainable will not be sustained.' They are living
this lie and are so deluded they dont really even know that there are
consequences for lying. Morality. Lying isnt just BAD its NOT SMART
behavior. When you lie you start to believe that reality is maleable,
that your lie is the truth. After a while you dont even think that
there is an objective truth. You become a fool. We are led by dishonest
fools. Fools who think their lies justify them enslaving everyone else
to their admittedly well-engineered social agenda, which coincidently
is very much in their own personal interests.
Some would call
this self-serving sophistry a veneer of lies to hide a massive theft.
Lies which have deluded the rubes into voting their oppressors into
office to save the drowning polar bears and the shrinking rain forest.
They think they can just preform an unconstitutional slight-of-hand
trick and magically add government health care to the Unsustainable
Structure and everything will just chug along nicely. Dominos are
crashing all around; Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland,
California, New York, Illinois, thousands of municipal governments,
crowds of teachers are being laid off, the gravity of Unsustainability
is exacting its merciless pull on the debt-ridden, ossified social
structures. Only the presence of a few undamaged states like Texas and
the printing of trillions of Obama Bucks is keeping the nation's head
slightly above water. But adding Health Care for everyone wont tip us
into national bankruptcy...its the Right Thing To Do!
And what a
nation it is, too! A society of people who expect that it is their
right to receive more benefits from society than they put in. A country
densely populated by people who dont believe in the Law of
Unsustainability because they worship the False Idol of Entitlement.
They believe in their hearts that the trough will always be full. Now
that Idol is telling them that adding tens of millions of new
recipients to the already bankrupt Medicare-Medicaid rolls and turning
the privately-run medical insurance industry over to the tender mercies
of the federal bureaucracy is going to save hundreds of billions of
dollars.
But they dont believe it any more. The truth is too
stark for anyone who hasnt had their brains warped in a Major
University to ignore. The dishonesty and incompetence of the Democrats
is too blatant. Even the totally negative, self-centered,
immoral
worry that one's entitled benefits wont get paid has shocked millions
of people into consciousness. The continuing collapse cant be ignored
outside of government and the top reaches of the corporate world. The
lies and the fake social concern will not head off the approaching
crash. The Unsustainable will not be sustained. I aint lyin'.
