Just arriving. Thanks for the ping.
Earlier this week BO was stating that in his opinion this country has “gotten lazy over the last 20 years.” While everyone is reacting to that comment, the one thing that I have to wonder is.....was he saying that like it is a bad thing? I would expect that is actually what he wants of this country. He has spent years denigrating those who work hard, has created a whole new entitlement program that forces the producers to provde for the non-producers, so why is his statement a surprise?
He wants laziness as the standard. That is what he rewards, while denigrating and punishing success. Success is nothing more than the expected result from hard work!
What is not realized is the electric and gas cost along with the current price increases is going to crush any economic activity by the consumer, and next couple of quarters are going to be dismal at best, yet all these economic reports have once again saying things are getting better.
