Obama and the Democrats are wasting no time getting busy to make this a socialist/communist state and they push through the "stimulus" package which is really just a guise to send taxpayer money to leftist organizations. These are the paybacks for these organizations supporting the corrupt Democrats.
Analysis of the package is showing that only 12 cents of every dollar is actually going to something that might (key word there is MIGHT) stimulate the economy and the rest is going to fund left-wing groups like
ACORN so the Democrats will remain in power for the next 50 years and run the economy and the country into the ground while making themselves rich. The
Wall Street Journal is reporting details on what is proposed and it appears that Republicans will not have the support to stop such a monstrosity from going forward. Is this really the kind of "change" people wanted? Communism has already been proven to be a failure and the data shows that this kind of spending never helps people. The free market has created more wealth for more people than at any time in the history of the world. Yet, we blow it by electing a communist to the White House. Obama is the product of the very corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine and I expect there will be more corruption and funnelling of money into Obama's buddies hand over the next 8 years than what I can even imagine at this time. Obama nominated a
known tax evader to run the IRS so I am sure it will get worse before it gets better.
In a general conference talk (October 1961), Ezra Taft Benson said the following: "When socialism is understood, we will realize that many of the programs advocated, and some of those already adopted in the United States, fall clearly within the category of socialism. No true Latter-day Saint and no true American can be a socialist or a communist or support programs leading in that direction. These evil philosophies are incompatible with Mormonism, the true gospel of Jesus Christ."
That was way back in 1961 when President Benson was seeing the move towards Socialism with Kennedy and then Johnson's "Great Society" which followed. I sure if he would be appalled to see the Obamanation that is going on now.
