Thank you debt hawks. You have sowed the wind, and we all reap the whirlwind.

September 8, 2010: (AP)“Obama said the struggling U.S. economy can’t afford to spend $700 billion to keep lower tax rates in place for the nation’s highest earners despite a call by House Minority Leader John Boehner and other GOP leaders to do just that.”

Dear Mr. President,

Either you do not understand economics, or your political desire to foment class warfare has trumped your desire to save America. You remind me of a man who does not believe water quenches fires, so you allow the house of America to burn rather than to receive the water (federal spending) it needs to quench the recession fire.

Think of what you’re saying. “The U.S. economy can’t afford . . .”??? Since when is the federal government the same as the U.S. economy? And please explain why the government can’t afford to help the economy. Is there truly a danger our government, which has the unlimited ability to create money, can go broke? Please explain to America how a monitarily sovereign nation, that creates money at the touch of a button, cannot afford to support the economy. Please explain why you are more worried about a federal deficit (which actually benefits America), than about the lives of the Americans who depend on you.

The house is burning, Mr. President. People are suffering. This is no time to play politics or to follow obsolete, debt-hawk, economic theories. Taxes – all taxes – hurt the economy. Always, always, always. Federal spending – all federal spending – helps the economy. Debt-fear is killing helpless, innocent people, who do not understand what is happening to them.

They voted for you. They trusted you. Put out the fire. Cut taxes. Increase spending. Save the economy.
