Barack Obama – The $600 Billion Man

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Yesterday, we connected a couple of dots…
“Think tanks” think about what they’re paid to think about.
Who pays them?
The people who have the resources to bend public policies in their direction.
Who are those people?
The elite. The insiders. The foxes. The Establishment. The Deep State.
They are the ones who own Today. And what they most fear is Tomorrow.
Fortunately for them, the feds are here to try to stop it from coming.
Fake News
We also looked at how military spending is a poor way to create jobs.
Win-lose deals never create good jobs. Instead, they draw people out of good jobs and put them into bad ones – jobs that add nothing to our wealth or satisfaction.
That describes almost all the jobs in the greater Washington, D.C., area… and most of the work done by every public employee above the lower ranks.
Teachers, firemen, policemen, and sanitation workers earn their money honestly and fruitfully. The suits are mostly time wasters.
Think tanks think of reasons why it all makes sense. The president claims he’s added “jobs, jobs, jobs.” The newspapers report it as though it were true.
Later, we discover that it was all “fake news.”
Here’s Bruce Riedel at the Brookings Institution:
Last month, President Trump visited Saudi Arabia and his administration announced that he had concluded a $110 billion arms deal with the kingdom. Only problem is that there is no deal. It’s fake news.
I’ve spoken to contacts in the defense business and on the Hill, and all of them say the same thing: There is no $110 billion deal.
Fake news? We hope so.
Because the “jobs” created by the weapons industry are little more than nuts on a barroom table: They encourage the clients to waste more time and money.
The real business of the arms dealers is moving more wealth and power from the people who earn it to themselves. And the real business of the government is helping them get away with it.
$600 Billion Man
But let’s connect a couple more dots.
Last week, amid the hundreds of items about the POTUS were two reports concerning the ex-POTUS.
First, it was noted that Mr. Obama had bought an $8 million house in Washington, D.C.
“Where did the former community organizer/lawyer/federal employee get the money for that kind of pad?” we wondered.
