What the Left is Thinking

The piece laments Obama's loss of control, but the real juice is about the spendulus:

Obama's desire to begin a "post-partisan" era may have backfired. In his eagerness to accommodate Republicans and listen to their ideas over the past week, he has allowed the GOP to turn the haggling over the stimulus package into a decidedly stale, Republican-style debate over pork, waste and overspending. This makes very little economic sense when you are in a major recession that only gets worse day by day. Yes, there are still some very legitimate issues with a bill that's supposed to be "temporary" and "targeted"—among them, large increases in permanent entitlement spending, and a paucity of tax cuts that will prompt immediate spending. Even so, Obama has allowed Congress to grow embroiled in nitpicking over efficiency when the central debate should be about whether the package is big enough. When you are dealing with a stimulus of this size, there are going to be wasteful expenditures and boondoggles. There's no way anyone can spend $800 to $900 billion quickly without waste and boondoggles. It comes with the Keynesian territory. This is an emergency; the normal rules do not apply.

Unthinking.

UPDATE: President Obama writes in the Washington Post, trying to rally support for his deeply unpopular spendulus:

By now, it's clear to everyone that we have inherited an economic crisis as deep and dire as any since the days of the Great Depression.

Blame Bush! is the very first sentence of his spiel. "It's not my fault."

What Americans expect from Washington is action that matches the urgency they feel in their daily lives -- action that's swift, bold and wise enough for us to climb out of this crisis.

As the man said, pick two.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too...I mean what 25 billion in waste here or there. especially if we can help fund ACORN and other progressive boondoggles that will help us cheat to get re-elected.  The whole debate with the American people is a distraction.

6 Since the VAST MAJORITY of the bill is for permanent entitlement spending, and for spending which won't kick in for two years, after the recession it's supposed to 'stimulate' out of is already over, why the FUCKITY FUCKING FUCK wouldn't a principled opposition vote against it, President I-Won's faux bipartisanship notwithstanding>

Even so, Obama has allowed Congress to grow embroiled in nitpicking over efficiency when the central debate should be about whether the package is big enough.

It's big enough-- that's what is being pointed out-- it's TOO big.  That's the debate right now, and it's not going their way, so they cry.

I haven't heard anybody mention one major, major benefit of using tax cuts as stimulus instead of government spending: they don't pose a big an inflationary risk a few years down the road. If we're printing up $1 trillion new dollars (or thereabouts), that's going to drive up inflation massively two or three years from now. If we just cut taxes we aren't adding to the money supply, we're just changing who spends it. That more or less eliminates the risk of stimulus-induced inflation.

Another thing: one of the criticisms of tax-cut based stimulus is that people will just save the money or pay down debt, not go out & buy new things. How is that bad, though. If people pay down their credit cards, they shore up the credit market and lower personal debt. If they put it in savings, they make more money available for banks to loan, encouraging them to actually go out and loan the money instead of hoarding it. So how are tax cuts ineffective, then?

I'm really not following the logic here.  Obama's mistake was to court Republicans and listen to their ideas, but Republicans somehow took advantage of him by pointing out that the bill has major flaws and refusing to vote for it.  This is followed by the author admitting the bill has major flaws, ignoring Obama rejected the Republicans' ideas (as per the "I won" standard), and the Democrats juts passed the bill anyways.  So if the bill has major flaws, the Republicans pointing that out was ignored, and the Democrats just passed the bill anyways where's the problem with Republicans?   Republican arguments are swayng the public and moderate Democrats but given the author says the bill is flawed, isn't that an indictment of Obama-Pelosi-Reid's leadership and legislative skills in crafting this monstrosity and not Republicans?

Anyhow, I find it hilarious how the media is bending over backwards to blame Republicans in all this.  If Obama had the temperment, skills, and experience the media claimed he did then it would have been easy for someone with his poll numbers (2 weeks ago at least) and support to get a good bipartisan bill through Congress.  Don't blame Republicans because Obama isn't what the media said he would be.  I just hope the people are paying enough attention to see that the media is again nakedly cheerleading for Obama.

37 I think I've finally figured out Obama thanks to his clue that we need "action that's swift, bold and wise enough for us to climb out of this crisis."

As my family hails several band directors and I grew up in the world of orchestral music (before realizing how little they make and shifting to the business world), we would quickly notice and ridicule Hollywood actor representations of band, choir or orchestra conductors. They'd get up and flail their arms about forcefully, believing that's all it took with really no clue at all what conducting was about. The louder the music, the more "swift, bold and wise" they'd try to appear as if they were channeling Beethoven. The result was enough to fool the idiots (also known as the 52% Democratic electorate) but to totally make a maddening representation of conducting as total fraud.

Obama's that poseur conductor. He truly thinks he can go up on the podium, flail his arms about swiftly, feign that bold confidence and appear contemplative and wise to convince the economy to recover. Economics? Business cycles? Rational expectation theory that will deny Keynesian economic efforts? Baaaa... be bold and brave. That's how a leader acts.

We're led by the King of Fools.

My personal favorite part of the Newsweak article is the first few words.

Barack Obama began making his comeback Wednesday...

As we all know from our media betters, Obama's transition has been going swimmingly, only a few hiccups really. (Pay no attention to those tax-cheats and millionaire-lobbyists in the Dept of Change.)

So why does he need a comeback?

He's been president for about 10 minutes and he already needs to makie a "comeback"?

Just curious, when can we start bleating about the worst economy since Hoover?

Yes, there are still some very legitimate issues with a bill that's supposed to be "temporary" and "targeted"—among them, large increases in permanent entitlement spending, and a paucity of tax cuts that will prompt immediate spending.

So we need to pass it NOW because it's a short-term answer to an emergency, but it contains permanent entitlement increases and not enough tax cuts to increase consumer spending now.

It's not right, but it's here! Pass it, because it won't help and is wasteful, but IT'S HERE!

@29

One of the major benefits of having people use the money is it won't distort the economy as much.  Throwing a trillion dollars at F.O.O-P-R's allows the government to pick winners and makes being close the government more important than say satisfying consumer wants and needs.  It can also cause mass inflation in one sector (say by doubling infrastructure spending causing construction good prices to spike) that could have very problematic ripple effects throughout the economy.  Letting taxpayers spend a little each prevents both problems and of course is muc more popular (I know I'd rather spend my $6,700 allotment over then next 2 years than have O-P-R spend it).

I keep making that point any time someone I know recycles the liberal canard that "savings = bad".  The big thing I think is the banks could use those savings to restore their balance sheets and start loaning again without needing government bailouts every year.

But now Obama needs to remind the American people that unless the Republicans get on board, they will bear political responsibility for failing to act in the face of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

This is the crux of the bullsh!t and Newsweek should be ashamed of putting this drivel into print.  The fact of the matter is Obama and the Dems could pass this piece of shit bill today if they wanted to and they really believed it was necessary to get out of the "worst economic crisis since the Great Depression".  The Republicans haven't threatened a filibuster (to my knowledge) so the Dems don't need a single Republican vote.  Even if they did try for a filibuster they wouldn't sustain it.  What the Dem's and Obama are looking for is political cover because they know full well this is not going to work and they need to be able to say the bill was bi-partisan when it fails to do anything for the economy.  I personnally encourse the Republicans to allow the Senate Dems an up or down vote on this boondoggle.  This bill won't get 50 votes and they know it so now they are going to blame the Republican's.  I'll be reading bs just like this all day as it seems the Dem's obvious next talking point. 

 Instead the Republican Party—the one we thought lost the election—is doing that. And the confusion and delay this is causing could realize Obama's worst fears, turning "crisis into a catastrophe," as the president said Wednesday. 

This is also rich.  Apparently now that the Democrats are in charge they expect the minority party not only to just shut up but to also vote the way they tell them.  I really enjoy the sense of wonderment that the Republicans still around in Congress aren't just doing what they're told.  Apparently the fact that the current House Republicans actually won their elections last fall as Republicans and are expected to legislate as Republicans by their consituents is not on this assclowns radar.  Nope they are supposed to vote the way Mr. 52% tells them in order to give him and the other Dems the political cover they need to pay off all their various interest groups so that Mr. 52% is again able to rake in $750 million in 2012.  In the interests of bipartisanship and presumably the children as well.  If Mr. Hirsch was capable he would be ashamed of himself.

There's no way anyone can spend $800 to $900 billion quickly without waste and boondoggles. It comes with the Keynesian territory. This is an emergency; the normal rules do not apply.

And last the old Dem standby of acting like the "waste and boondoggles" just flew into this bill on their own.  As Mr. Hirsch well knows the "waste and boondoggles" are a feature not a bug and were deliberately inserted in the bill in order to pay off Dem special interests.  Or perhaps Mr. Hirsch believes Pelosi and Obama wrote a bill that was strictly tax cuts and competatively bid infrastructure spending and after she was done the Legistation Fairy flew in and inserted $4 billion for ACORN and $350 million for condoms and all the other "waste and boondoggles" that just happen to enrich all the Democrats best friends.  Whatever the case may be I encourage President Obama to use this argument with the American people.  I'll bet he could get the approval rating for this bill into single digits with a persuasive argument like "sure this bill is mostly 'waste and boondoggles' but this is an emergency, the normal rules don't apply and besides Chula Vista really, really, really needs a new dogpark".

Greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression?  This President has to be the least intelligent President we ever had when it comes to history and geography. 

An sustained unemployment  rate over the one we have now has occurred in the late 50's, the  mid 70's, early 80's and early 90's.   We have had mortgage rates that exceeded 20% in the 70's.  We had wage and price controls.  We have had 2 hour waits at the gas pumps.  We bailed out auto companies before.  We've had major cities go bankrupt.  The name Rust Belt did not just get coined these past few years. 

Don't get me wrong, he definitely has the potential to make this the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. 

Just a reminder Mr. President.  Illinois is closer to Kentucky than Arkansas.  The Americans did not liberate the Auschwitz concentration camp.  Iran is not a little country.

Seriously, fuck you, buddy.  The real problem is that the Obama who won the presidency is not the Obama who is governing.  Of course, we would have known that if you media fucks had done your job and actually told us what we were getting.  Instead, you covered for him, and savaged those who questioned him.   You told us we were getting a pragmatic centrist.  You knew he was a leftist redistributionist.  Now, that the bullshit is out there for the world to see in the form of this shitty spending bill, you go back to try to play the "but he won" card.  Sorry fuck-o.  This shitty bill has served a valuable purpose...  doing what you refused to do during the campaign.

action that's swift, bold and wise enough for us to climb out of this crisis.

perfect time to repost this: * I changed the first sentence from Spartans to conservatives and Athenians to Liberals.

*Conservatives are courageous but not bold.  Liberals are bold but not courageous.

Boldness is impatient. Courage is long-suffering. Boldness cannot endure hardship or delay; it is ravenous, it must feed on victory or it dies. Boldness makes its seat upon the air; it is gossamer and phantom. Courage plants its feet upon the earth and draws its strength from God’s holy fundament.

The bold man is prideful, brazen, ambitious. The brave man calm, God-fearing, steady. The bold man seeks to divide; he wants his own and will shoulder his brother aside to loot it. The brave man unites. He succors his fellow, knowing that what belongs to the commonwealth belongs to him as well. The bold man covets; he sues his neighbor in the law court, he intrigues, he dissembles. The brave man is content with his lot; he respects that portion the gods have granted and husband it, comporting himself with humility as heaven’s steward.

In troubled times the bold man flails about in effeminate anguish, seeking to draw his neighbors into his misfortune, for he has no strength of character to fall back upon other than to drag others down to his own state of wickedness.

65 Nice try Newsweek.  You are just as complicit as the liberals in congress for this current situation.  You assisited them as their mouth piece preaching doom and gloom and did not do any true journalistic investigating as to what Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangle, San Fran Nan, or Harry Reid were doing with the banking and mortgage industry.  Yes Newsweek, YOU are to blame.  You got your fucking crisis so you could get your messiah elected.   Doh!  It grew too large too fast.  Kinda snowballed didn't.  And now you want to blame it on Repblicans.

We don't need anymore spending on bullshit earmarks and we sure as hell do not need anymore goverment employees.  Cut goverments, reduce the salary of congress to 1 dollar a year, end slush funds, eliminate governement pensions and give them 401K so they can save like the rest of us unwashed masses.  Oh yeah, 6 year limit in DC with a lifetime ban on lobbying.

Couple that with a Federal Income Tax holiday for the rest of they year and you will see change.  Otherwise we are so screwed.

2. Spent / distributed $150million of Annenberg money in Chicago. Has no success to show for the $150million.

Atrios, for one, was fond of calling out conservatives who warned we needed to fight the GWOT - now who is shitting their panties in fear?

107 By now, it's clear to everyone that we have inherited an economic crisis as deep and dire as any since the days of the Great Depression.

I thought people liked Obama because he was "cool" and unflappable.

Here he comes across as a hysterical little girl.

Obama has allowed Congress to grow embroiled in nitpicking over efficiency when the central debate should be about whether the package is big enough

Obama's big slogan is that we need to stop worrying about the size of government and worry more about whether it works.

Who cares if the package is big enough?  Sadly, Congress can pass another one next week or next month if they want to.  The focus on the size of the package is especially disingenuous when you take into account that the vast majority of the spendulus money won't even be spent in 2009.

Democrats are exaggerating the crisis so they have a fake EMERGENCY in which all the normal rules go out the window so they can gorge themselves on pork.  Republicans are right to say no--and the American people are right to be deeply suspicious of it.

Today, Barack Obama is totally committed to the spendulus.  The good news is, tomorrow he might not want it at all.  Republicans just need to hold out until he changes his mind again.

Posted by: Daryl Herbert at February 05, 2009 11:48 AM (vpcJV)

108 My big fear on this is that the Dems went into this KNOWING the spending was double what they really wanted. In other words, they did the usual government thing and asked for twice as much as their best and final offer, and they've been counting on Grahamnesty and the others to "step across the aisle" all along.  Now they're  just going through the motions until a compromise is reached, a few billion shaved off, and they've got their "bipartisan" seal of approval.

Drudge has a headline - "The Fear:  Pass it Now or We May Never Recover" - which links to the Washington Post piece, "Obama warns of need for stimulus bill right away."

I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of this guy telling us all what we have to do, and using a bunch of fear-mongering to do it. THEN saying, "Hey, I won!  That means the American people want everything I want from now on."

Talk about STUPID.  Listen, I don't think the guys running him are stupid, but I do believe he himself is rather . . . simple.  Or actually, his sound mind has been taken over by delusions of grandeur, dreams of glory.  Megalomania, in short.

I think he's also getting desperate.  His plan is to socialize everything, and "not let a good crisis go to waste," even if he has to manufacture the crisis.

And when push comes to shove, I don't CARE if we go down the tubes.  That is, I'd rather go down the tubes and let capitalism recover itself, rather than turn into a socialist country. 

But that is what he wants, and he's looking flat-out stupid about it right now.

140 Jennifer "Grand stand", the governor, was just on CNBC saying "get it out, just put something through."   She said there are things in the bill which allo workers (she meant assembly line)to "be re trained and have a free college education."    I began shouting expletives at the tv as most college grads are still paying their loans off and just because these people lost their jobs they are somehow entitled to a "free college education?"  this is way too much.

141 From that article:

(retyping, as somehow it contained a hidden url)

"He rejected the argument that more tax cuts are needed in the plan and that piecemeal measures would be sufficient, arguing that Americans made their intentions clear in the election.

"'I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change,' he wrote."

I mean - is he just flat-out nuts, or what?  I think he's unhinged.

142 That is the same "phrase" he handed anerson cooper last night.  Guess neither of these two are interested in the Rasmussen poll that Larry Kudlow is shouting to the rafters about.  But, the poll has been marginalized as jared bernstein said they don't put much stock in these "flash polls".  Interesting how they touted Rasmussen when he had them way ahead in his polls.  Suddenly now Rasmussen needs to be marginalized along with the wishes of the people.

Zero sent out an email to everyone on his list last week, something like 13 million trolls. It was basically saying how great this timulus was and it was their jobs to convince family and friends of its greateness and to pressure their own Reps to support it

 Basically he was ordering his trolls to get in everyones face to bring enough pressure to get the turd passed. Same strong arm tactcis he used during campaign. This time the MSM isn't covering for his turd at this point and everyone knows what stinking garbage it is. Still, he goes right to his army to try and "force" change (at the local level) no one will accept,  while he uses fear in the media that just isn't working.

More from the Democrat Communist Party via Tom Harkin(C-Iowa)

 

Some Democrats bluntly challenged whether President-elect Barack Obama's proposed tax cuts would be a waste of money and not stimulate the ailing economy, which has been in recession for 13 months and is expected to last through 2009.

 

Now they want to remove the pitiful few tax cuts that are in the bill.

 

Oh, and BTW, have they released the fourth quarter 2008 numbers yet? The third quarter was the first negative quarter and we haven’t had the second yet.

I kinda like the final sentence in this little piece of self-congratulation: What's the point of historical lessons if you don't learn from them?

The obvious implication nested in the question being that the only relevant interpretation of history belongs to this hyper-intelligent motherfuck. Or that of his messiah.

151 "Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, <b>we may not be able to reverse."</b>

I like the "we" stuff he uses in this *cough* hope and change address.  "But it's not me, it's the voices in my head saying, 'I didn't do it!'"  He dare not mention the over $600 million in questionable donations, foreign and domestic.  How do you reverse a crisis, but to go to the root cause, and he has no intention of doing that.  Fiat has many faces and it won't be long before a new currency is introduced to help take up the slack of excuses.  I say we tap on the Rothchild's or Rockefeller's door and get back what they ripped off from the people of this country, as well as the rest of the world.  Maybe the Murdoch's are home.

"Scaring people is not leadership. Writing an editorial that if you don't pass this bad bill we're going to have disaster -- we've had enough presidents trying to scare people to make bad decisions," Graham said. "I like President Obama, but he is not leading.

A foreign group of tourists arrived at the US Capitol for a tour.  The tour guide began by explaining, "Here in America, we have two political parties:  the Stupid Party and the Evil Party.  I'm proud to be a member of the Stupid Party."

He continued, "Sometimes, the parties work together to come up with something that's both stupid AND evil.  We call this 'bipartisanship'."

170 Gabe - Also, your title: "What the left is thinking"

(1) The recent election pretty clearly supports that "the left" incorporates tens of millions of people. To suggest they all think with one mind is to mistake them for conservatives, which I doubt you intended.

As the spectacle of President Obama's penning an Op-Ed for the WaPo today shows, he is well aware that when it comes to points of view, "the left" sees that of every individual, even the president of the United States, as individual.

Should you wish to cast blame for the phenomenon of lefties thinking for themselves, then blame Nature, who so loves her humans she has ensured that not all of them act like lemmings.

(2) Flying spaghetti monsters: this was NEWSWEEK, not Mother Jones, let alone the Nation. NEWSWEEK is a 'zine extension of the running-off-in-all-directions-mostly-right-all-at-once mentality of the WaPo, both being owned by the same publisher. NEWSWEEK is the same 'zine that actually tried to label its editorial board chair a "liberal" last week - something which even lefties unified over for a good shared laugh.

Finally: you have an organic disability in approaching the question - and one far more daunting than I would should I invert it. Do you think that were I to boldly go and write "What the right thinks", the responses schphmucking up from the primal ooze here would be identical? Of course not.

(Mind you, I could go to Drudge first and reliably predict what position Ace and each and every one of his Tools here will take ... well, maybe not Dave from Texas, but otherwise.

Free college education for assembly-line workers. Huh. Did anyone bother to ask those assembly line workers if they WANTED a college education?

See, I work for an insurance company, and we are always hiring for agents. We have interviewed hundreds of people since I started here less than 2 years ago. All you need to do to be an agent is (a) pass a multiple choice test, and (b) pay $300 or so in licensing fees. It's not surprising when people balk at the fees, or at the leper-status that comes with being an insurance agent, or at commission sales (like one memorable girl who asked "is this one of those jobs where you have to work if you want to get paid?") - but the vast majority of our interviewees - especially those from blue-collar backgrounds - are freaked out just by the TEST. They do not want to study for or take a test, period.

I'm sure that SOME people working low-pay jobs (or unemployed) wish they could have gone to college (not that that guarantees a high-paying job either) but it is a cold hard fact that many people who have not gone to college do not want to go to college. Most of them just want a freaking job that pays the bills and doesn't require too much effort on their part. And the less effort for the more pay, the better.

Oh, yes, the ideological diversity of your little cult is quite legendary.

Just ask Joe Lieberman.  Or any "liberal" that doesn't believe in a constitutional right to pre-birth infanticide.  Or any "liberal" who believes that Keynes was a buffoon whose ideas -- like Marx's -- have been uniformly disastrous each and every time they've been implemented.

Oh, and reliable liberal cheerleading organ Newsweek is "centrist" because a bunch of left-wing jackoffs got a big laugh out of its editorial board being accurately self-lableled as "liberal".  Or something.

If they weren't making a PRO-boondoggle argument, and supporting it with the proven uselessness of Keynesian econ, it would be a breakthrough moment for them.  But in the present context, not so much.
