CAN STENY HOYER REALLY BE THIS CLUELESS? OR DOES HE THINK WE'RE JUST THAT STUPID?

The only reason I ask is because it seems to me that old Steny and his many Democrat cohorts are busily trying to convince me that things are just hunky-dory. Because, even though the annual federal budget deficit is expected to hit $1.65 Trillion this year and the national debt is already at $14.34 trillion, our esteemed House Minority Whip Steny "Dumber than Poop" Hoyer (D-Md.) has said that he disagrees with the assessment of our present fiscal condition which has been made by House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) and any number of other Republicans. An assessment that has America as now being officially broke. “America is not broke,” Hoyer enthusiastically proclaimed at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, D.C.. “America has extraordinary resources and we can use those resources, both intellectual and financial, to get us to a place where we are again a fiscally sound nation, a fiscally balanced nation, and future generations are not at risk.” You know, you just can't make this stuff up. Does this guy really think that the American people are as stupid as are, apparently, those who make up his constituents there in Maryland?

As of May 20, 2011, the total public debt outstanding stood at $14.34 trillion, according to the Department of Treasury. Prompting House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), in a February 2011 speech at the annual National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention, to describe the U.S. fiscal state in this way: “Now surpassing $14.1 trillion, our national debt is on track to eclipse the size of our entire economy this year. In other words, we’re broke. Broke, going on bankrupt.” Boehner continued: “Just as a bankrupt business has trouble creating jobs, so does a bankrupt country. ... Yes, this debt is a mortal threat to our country. It is also a moral threat. It is immoral to bind our children to as leeching and destructive a force as debt.” “It is immoral to rob our children’s future and make them beholden to China,” he said. “No society is worthy that treats its children so shabbily." Personally I find nothing to disagree with in that statement. I think that it sums things up pretty well regarding the quagmire, to use a liberal Democrat word, in which we now find ourselves. And to try to deny that which is so obvious is to deceived the American people regarding the dire straights that we are in here.


It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that what we have here is a pretty serious fiscal and economic mess, first created and made worse by decades of idiotic liberal/progressive policies. But for someone to look me in the eye and to deny that fact goes far beyond simply being dishonest, or excusing it as being your typical politics, it's being devious and insidious to the extreme. Hoyer is a liar as is anyone else, including our "community agitator" president, who attempts to downplay the seriousness of our present situation. To pretend that things are different than we know them to be, does nothing but to allow the situation to become worse, much worse. I detest being lied to, and to be talked down to by someone who is trying to do nothing more than to sell me a bill of goods. And that's all that this dim bulb Hoyer is attempting to do here. Even a blind man can see that we simply cannot go on spending the way we are, and yet that's exactly what Barry and the Democrats are advocating. It's NUTS! What kind of lunatic can see what is taking place in this country, with all of this crazy spending and say, hey no problem, everything is just fine.
