Yeah..... I REEEEEEEEALLY Wish You'd At Least Check This One Out

    In my struggle to gain some understanding of the thoughts and beliefs of some people I'm reminded of the parallel that is gleaned from the above link and the thoughts of our current "President". The similarities are uncanny.


    The views put forward in "The Road We Are Traveling" are those of Stuart Chase. An American economist and MIT schooled engineer. After traveling to Russia, Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan between 1913 and 1942 he made note of the criteria in the above link as "admirable" traits of those nations.


    Anyone remember what types of governments there were in those countries during that time frame??? Do the descriptions Fascist, Communist and maybe Nazi ring a bell??? And these were "admirable" forms of government.


    With even a slight and lazy eye cast toward the facts and reality we live in now as victims of the Obama administration, one can behold "The Road We Are Traveling". And before continuing PLEASE realize this is genuine and I've created none of it except my own opinion.


    Take the first 3 points for example - 


1) Strong, centralized government.
2) Powerful Executive at the expense of Congress and the Judicial.
3) Government controlled banking, credit and securities exchange.


    Notice something familiar? The growth and attempted growth of the Federal and in particular the Executive Branch of the national government is unprecedented. And how better to gain control of and impose the will of the Executive Branch over finances than to bail out those institutions when they are in trouble for bad decisions???


4) Government control over employment.
5) Unemployment insurance, old age pensions.
6) Universal medical care, food and housing programs.


    Gives a person goose bumps to see what a socialist society we've already been with #4 and #5 being staples of government for so many years. But the most ironic one of all being #6 and the nearly unbelievable shadow cast by it onto the Obamacare plan. Yeah, I'm already feeling all Socialist now too..... (tongue in cheek). But let us continue........


7) Access to unlimited government borrowing.
8) Government managed monetary system.
9) Government control over foreign trade.
10) Government control over natural energy sources, transportation and agricultural production.


    How far are we in debt now from our unbridled borrowing and debt from borrowing??? How much spending is still occurring at record pace with no let up in site??? Our "President" doesn't see the problem with the debt, "creating money" or not managing spending. Any inability to see that would make that individual a mindless idiot. And please don't let us miss the crisis we are all feeling now and I'm sure to continue with oil and the "President" dismissing the American People out of hand in favor of "Alternative Energy" lectures and investments in failed alternative energy businesses.


11) Government regulation of labor.
12) Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service and ideological teaching consistent with those of the authorities.
13) Heavy progressive taxation and hidden taxes on the nations wealth.


    Government created jobs sound familiar??? Those have always worked well for us as a nation. NOT!!!! But then if you just happen to "bail out" the larger failing businesses and create a partial government ownership of those businesses I guess that would qualify too. Michelle Obama making nice with schools and insisting on indoctrination of our youth in various ways looks nice on the surface...... IF YOUR EYES ARE SHUT!!!! 
Oh yeah....... Gonna tax the wealthy and share the wealth from those who earned with those that haven't, and most likely NEVER plan to. Plenty of worthless people in our society to take full advantage of that. 


    Hope you've gained some insight. If not, hope you can share your thoughts. My opinion is likely not to change, but I'd so like to gain understanding of the mentality that thinks I must sacrifice what I have so that You or others may gain without contribution or value.
