We were warned… In January 2008 Barack Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle:
“ “Under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Businesses would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that cost onto consumers.”
He promised that his plan would cause electricity rates to skyrocket.
He wasn’t kidding.
Now this… Obama announced his new energy plan on Saturday that will squeeze energy companies and force consumer prices to necessarily skyrocket.
Energy prices have risen 38 percent so far since 2001 thanks to Barack Obama’s progressive and anti-business agenda. — Obama wants to make sure the Middle Class is ruined before he leaves office
This is what happens when idiots rule.
We are all Kenyans now. Mud huts are next.
Kinda nostalgic for the old-style progressives.
>>Don’t forget the people that allow it.
I didn’t!
“and stupid people who believe them.”
If Hillary gets in the WH we’ll be looking back on these as the good old days.
BTTT!
People say that electing Hillary will be like giving Obonzo a third term. I disagree. It will be worse.
You misunderstand. I mean the Americans who weren’t fooled, but allow all this to happen.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, if Hillary was president you wouldn’t be reading this.
Hillary is a psychopath, human life is meaningless to her.
If she has to kill one person for power she will kill one person.
If she has to kill 1 billion for power she will kill 1 billion.
It’s all the same to her.
I think you have a good point. Raise costs, like obamacare, then offer subsidies to the poor, while the middle class pays the bill.
“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” - Vladimir Lenin
It won’t be long before we are all poor with no property, standing in a line for toilet paper that goes around the block, but the useful idiots will still be thanking the government for their ‘care’...
Don’t forget the people that allow it
>>You misunderstand. I mean the Americans who weren’t fooled, but allow all this to happen.
They are stupid too. But most people who you might say “allowed” it are really powerless to effect change. Our representatives don’t listen to us, counting on the “lesser of two evils” vote (and that makes us stupid for falling for that). We just do our jobs as wage-slaves of the corporations, we pay our bills and taxes, we elect the least of the worst, and everyone just tells us “Shut up, get back to work, mail in your checks.”
If we try to get the courts to do something, they work against us.
If one of us gets fed up and blows up a federal building or shoots a politician, the rest of us instantly brand him a monster and say, “he isn’t with us.”
So, the disenfranchised majority soldiers on, hoping for the best and expecting the worst. But, we have mortgages to pay, SUVs to buy, football games to watch, and “hey, did you hear about the new smartphone that is coming out? It’s only $800 and does 2% more than the year-old phone that I have rightnow. I gotta get one!” So we peacefully obey our masters. This is why the CW2 types are such a joke...because a citizenry that is as well-armed as we are will take no action. Ever.
They created and defended the electric cooperative movement that still flourishes in the US and has been initiated in several foreign countries including the Philippines.
He'd go even higher in the polls if he said he would rescind most, if not all of them. And the establishment would assume the fetal position - Congress also, perhaps, as they would then have to then go on record.
Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He wanted them DEAD.
Using Marx’s ideas to help the middle class is like using Hitler’s ideas to help the Jews.
And yet middle class Marxists who voted for the Socialist Obama keep voting for Marxist Democrats.
So what do you want me to say?
It took 8% to beat a world power in the late 1700s.
gets me all fired up and then, “Energy prices have risen 38 percent so far since 2001 thanks to Barack Obama’s progressive and anti-business agenda.”
Boom. since 01? I didn’t realize he’s in his fourth term. Either its bad enough to state from 09 or its no story. i won’t read further.
>>It took 8% to beat a world power in the late 1700s.
8% that had a supply chain measured in feet versus a world power with a supply chain measured in months. The British surrendered at Yorktown for logistics more than for some grand military victory by Washington.
