The European Union has been denouncing Obama’s efforts to lead us out of this recession, by saying that we are spending way too much… oddly, a fact not lost upon those few Republicans and conservatives that have stayed true to the faith (and not been led astray by the Bush’s conservative heresy). A few days ago the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Mirek Topolanek, which currently holds the presidency of the European Union, expressed an opinion (though not necessarily all of Europe’s view) that the U.S. is going about the recovery all wrong. Of course, the economies of these nations are not as powerful as the United States’ nor can they easily print money as recklessly as we can… but they are worrying for the same reason that the Chinese are worrying… which should make all of us worry. If “worrying” leads to a serious loss of confidence in the U.S. debt, then we can pretty much say goodbye to U.S. economic superpower status and witness the collapse of the dollar. Pretty much, not even exaggerating the slightest, the future of our nation based on democratic ideals and human rights depends on having a leader or leaders who are fiscally conservative. Let me repeat that: conservative. For all of you Republicans and Democrats out there who are confused, George W. Bush was not a fiscal conservative, and from the looks of it, neither is Barack H. Obama. We need to push our leadership to fix this long term problem or the grand experiment that is America will go up in smoke… and be replaced by Chinese Communism.
Ni hao, comrades!
