Well, it’s true that the poor will now suffer because of the systems of dependency that have been built up.
In the US, the programs put into place by FDR and LBJ suck up huge amounts of tax dollars, swallow about 90% of it to pay the bureaucracy and the politicians and their friends, and maybe use 10% to help the poor. If incomes drop and taxes drop, then the poor and the taxpayers will suffer first, because the last thing they will do is fire the bureaucrats who are sucking up all that money. And bureaucrats are not evil, they are just part of the system that FDR and LBJ built up and lesser politicians kept adding to.
Same with the UN. They do help feed the poor as well as rape them. But they rely on money from their members, chiefly the U.S., and that comes from the taxpayers. Again, maybe 50-60% of the money goes to UN bureaucrats, and most of the rest goes to third world dictators and their friends, but at least some of it trickles down to the poor.
Now those poor, who have been rendered depended on UN largesse, will be the first to suffer. How can the Eurocrats or the Democrats send billions to Africa, when they are facing incredible problems in their own countries?
It’s going to be a horrible mess, and a lot of innocent people will suffer. It will be bad if McCain is elected—not much he can do, really—but much, much worse under Obama, who will try to outdo FDR and LBJ and make things far worse than anything we’ve ever seen. Not just a national disaster, but a world disaster. And the deluded Euros are cheering him on.
Exactly. Because they have successfully equated the bureaucracy with the solution: reducing the plunderers directly reduces the efficacy of the program. Or so the bureaucrats would have us believe.
The other fallacy is that money alone equates to "better." In the mind of the liberal, that's always true. However, anyone who WORKS for his money knows that in a lot of cases, things that cost more don't WORK any better, they're just more expensive. Witness our public schools for an example of THAT reality!
