hillary is starting to make ads for obama
April 29, 2008i just saw this new hillary campaign video that she is airing in indiana:
what i find amazing is that she thinks that what she is doing is good!!
let’s start with the forclosures, yes she is suggesting bailing people who made wrong investments out of them. and in part that is an ok policy. but she was a senator in the stupid build up to the current economic mess, if she is so ready to be president, why didn’t she do something earlier? why didn’t she suggest more rigid lending laws two or three years ago? no back then she was missing in action, and now she wants to use tax payer money to bail out poor investment decisions by individuals and by financial institutions.
what is most amazing though is her stupid idea to freeze gas tax over the summer. what good does this do? nothing. all it will do is reduce the money the government has to repair the already crumblin infrastructure in this country and will make people use their cars more. let’s get this country to accept that gas prices will be high. why? because there is a limited amount of it and there are now more people who want it. so let’s swallow the bitter pill and get this country into the 21st century.
obama rightly says no to her two initiatives, because he wants to put an end to this reactionary, populist policy making and wants to bring us back to a sane model … which will be painful for all (likely include tax increases) because over the last 20 years the country has been living above its means. so in the end this ad just shows how short sighted hillary is (she will do anything just to win votes).
