The above phrase was uttered by none other than Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emanuel before a conference in November of 2008 in regards to the financial crisis and the Democrat agenda. Typically the chief of staff in an administration controls the overall agenda and the inflow of information to the president.In a nutshell this person is the right – hand – man of the president and thought of as the 2nd most powerful person in the United States.
That said, once in a great while a pol in Washington let’s the cat out of the bag and confirms everything that we ‘peasants’ fear about our representative government. Many of us fear that big – government leaders simply look at problems and crises as a way to enrichen themselves and further entangle the free market with the tentacles of an overbearing and overeaching activist government. They simply do not want to fix a problem with our system, they want to expand their power. Think back to history in the 1930’s. FDR instituted scores of new bueracracies, all with negligible effect on unemployment and definitive hampering effects on private enterprise. Capital went on strike and the economy languished until the 1940’s when World War II broke out. My generation today now pays the price for these government systems that FDR installed, Social Security and Medicare being the worst in my opinion. As a self – employed person, my earnings are taxed 15% for SSI alone, not including my federal and state tax rates. Through perpetuity I am taxed, with no say in it, for a system that I believe I will not see a dime from. And yet it still will never be enough for our politicians. “Hope” and “Change” are just code – phrases for the same old worn – out cradle – to grave government entitlement mentality. Dogmatic liberalism is clearly a mental dysfunction that squander liberty, dignity and upward mobility. I will keep the ”You Never Want a Serious Crisis to go to Waste” theme as a running update on our Fearless Leader and the path to socialism that America is on.
