Big government produces big poverty

This is just the beginning unless we begin now to cut government spending, cut taxes and reduce the burden of big government on small business.

Excerpt from the article:

"The most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there," Obama said Friday at a White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, "If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle."

One prime-real-time example of the 'virtuous cycle' we're all being swept up into is

HAMP:
Govt. + Banks working together to aid in the speedy obliteration of the middle class.

A recent quote by a Treasury Dept official spinning the abysmal failure of the HAMP program:
"HAMP is a success if it assists people in transitioning with dignity to more suitable housing".

Wow ... with dignity to 'more suitable' housing... would that be like:

you can live in your car, but you can't drive your house?

It's gonna be cramped, but since my very own Big Brother declares it's 'more suitable' for me... I'm just SOOO looking forward to that dignity.

Please. Stop "helping" me. Please.

Big gov't model works so well then why is Cuba announcing a cut of 500,000 gov't jobs and expanding the private sector of the economy to take up the slack. I bet that communist Michael Moore is already trying to figure how he can spin this, like he did with their health care sytem.
