The previous post was about a leftist (Hugo Chavez) being detached from reality. Don’t lull yourself into believing this fantasy view of the world only happens in the 3rd World. It happens here at home all the time as well.

Lefties in this country are tying to sell the idea that there is no debt crisis. They contend that there is plenty of money. It’s just in the wrong hands. To them…that means it (the country’s wealth)  is out of their control.

Michael Moore said

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It’s just that it’s not in your hands.

When he says not in your hands…he was speaking to the unions. What he means is the government needs to take wealth from the people who create it and give it to the union workers.

Rachel Maddow (the unwatched host over at MSNBC) made the false claim:

Even though the state had started the year on track to have a budget surplus—now, there is, in fact, a $137 million budget shortfall

She doubled down on this falsehood by claiming that the shortfall was due to a tax break passed by Republicans. Everything would have been peachy if it wasn’t for those evil Republicans.

Al Gore had this to say:

Cricket…..Cricket….Cricket…..

He’s too busy counting the money that was taken from the American people and “invested” as stimulus in “green jobs”. Al Gore has now debt problem…YET.

Liberals! Listen Up! We can’t sustain the level of current level of spending. The past was funded by bubbles. Those bubbles have burst. We can’t fix it with a new bubble…which is exactly what President Obama tried with a trillion dollar stimulus boondoggle. You can’t keep the public sector growing while the private sector shrinks. Wake up. It’s time to leave dream world.

NOTE: Written as if lefties read what conservative write. That’s my little fantasy.
