SOTU Preview Part 1–“Investment”, A Weasel Word For Spending

More than likely, you will hear the words “invest” and “investment” a lot in today’s State Of The Union speech. It’s the same weasel word that Bill Clinton came up with back during his term to describe “spending” – as in government spending of the money it stole from us.

Don’t be fooled. The government never “invests” in anything. They don’t know how to invest. All they know is redistribution. Investment indicates putting your money into something expecting a return. The government does not care if it gets a return, since its not really their money that they are investing.

And a real investor expects a monetary return, whereas this government expects a societal return. Instead of actually “investing” most of the stimulus bill with small businesses, who could conceivably kickstart this economy, most of the money went to old, failing businesses which SHOULD have failed. Mostly Obama and Democrat cronies who helped propel him into office.

So when you hear him say “invest” think “spend”. It is unfettered, insane government spending which got us here in the first place. Everyone know that doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is one of the definitions of insanity, so how exactly is more spending going to solve anything? It’s not.
