You know, I'm getting more and more tired of being thought of as if I'm stupid. And what really ticks me off is who it is that's thinking of me in that way. More often than not its scumbag Democrats who, were it not for the growing number of Americans who would rather have things 'given' to them than to be expected to work for them, would not be in their current, and very lofty, positions. Granted, most politicians are less than trustworthy by very nature of they're being in public office, regardless of party affiliation. But it always seems to be a quality, or character flaw, that's much more pervasive amongst those who reside on the left. And I have my own theory about that, it's because if they are to ever have any hope of being able to advance their socialist/progressive agenda, dishonesty, deceit and a certain amount of corruption will always be required.
What has me bringing all of this up in the first place, is the fact that recently one of the Democrat Party's sleazier-than-most characters said something that, without a doubt, actually proves the point better than I ever could that she's has to be one of the dumbest examples of life that walks around on two legs. Del. Eleanor Norton (D-District of Columbia), actually claimed that private sector jobs are not showing much growth because the federal government is shrinking. Something as screwy as this could only originate in the twisted mind of a Democrat. What she actually said was, "What is shrinking is not the private sector – it’s hard for them to grow because the public sector, both the state sector and the federal government is shrinking and they are having to grow it all by themselves and that is why we don’t have much growth." Democrat-speak, don't you just love it?
She was discussing her cockamamie economic theory amongst what I can only assume must have been a crowd of like-minded thinkers, during last Friday’s House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee hearing on "The Impact of Sequestration on Women and Families." In a way, I think it kind of echoed the sentiment of what Barry was heard to say, not all that long ago, that the private sector was doing just fine, but it was the public sector that was in need of having more attention paid to it. This is how Democrats think, it's all about the 'government'. Obviously the demented Ms. Eleanor must assume that we're all just going to go along with her nutty idea and that we're not paying the least bit of attention to what her and her fellow socialists are really up to. Now, granted, maybe not enough of us are as informed as we should be, but quite a few of us are.
Now in an attempt to provide just a little information that, hopefully, will make clear the fact that Ms. Norton's idiotic premise is a complete and utter fallacy, it has been previously reported, by a number of sources, that according to the U.S. Treasury and the Census Bureau, inflation-adjusted federal spending per person increased by $822.90 between 2008 and 2012. In constant 2012 dollars, the federal government spent $3,176,376,470,000 in 2008 and $3,538,446,000,000 in 2012. Now I may not be as brilliant as old dingbat Eleanor, here, but to my way of thinking when it comes to describing what's been taking place, as far as the actual size of our government in concerned, the word "shrinking" never really comes to mind. Now maybe in whatever alternate universe Eleanor spends most of her time, the government may be shrinking, but certainly nowhere else.
