Barack Obama has announced that he has a grand plan to save our country. His solution ... this shouldn't surprise you ... is more government. He wants to save or create 2.5 million jobs by investing billions of your tax dollars into government works projects. These projects include building roads and bridges, developing alternative energy sources and making efficient cars. This investment also includes a "modernization" of our government schools.

Well ... that's our new president for you. Anything worth doing is worth doing through government. Government: Bringing All Things to All People.

Even Chuckie Schumer called this what it is, it is "a little like having a new New Deal, but you do it before a depression occurs, not after." And how much is this new New Deal going to cost? Well this is government we are talking about. So what you can assume is that it will be expensive, inefficient and the results more likely than not unsatisfactory.

Perhaps the best news to come out of all this was the prospect that Obama may delay his promises to increase taxes on the evil, putrid, hated, disgusting, rancid, rotton-to-the-core rich. The liberals and wealth envy crowd are furious. But two Obama aides over the weekend said that Obama may consider delaying a "roll back" on the Bush tax cuts that are set to expire in 2011. Remember, the phrase "roll back" is the catchy way to say "increase taxes." Keep in mind that Obama's current website says, "Obama will ask the wealthiest 2% of families to give back a portion of the tax cuts they have received over the past eight years to ensure we are restoring fairness and returning to fiscal responsibility." I just love that phrase "give back." Oh, and "fairness." Fairness is when someone else has a claim to what you have earned. Remember ... if a wealthy American wants to keep their money, that's greed. If someone wants to take it away from them by force, that's fairness.

Just a question though ... if Obama wants to create these public works projects, and implement universal healthcare, and spend more on our government schools ... where is he planning to get all of this money for new spending?
