The position was created with the sole purpose of confusing Americans.

I am rather fond of old Bozzer and have written about his good and bad sides here.
On this point he is dead right. Gordon Brown has no idea how wealth is created; he doesn’t even see what he does as spending, but calls it “investment”. As Mayor, Boris has been good at cutting back the excesses of his dreadful predecessor, the notorious Red Ken, who never met a Mad Mullah or Communist dictator he didn’t like.

I suspect Obama’s view of wealth creation is not too far from Brown’s, although it is difficult to imagine a leader being as bad as our disgraced and discraceful Prime Minister.

I fell sorry for americans who have invested such a lot in such an intellectual leper as Obama. George Bush was an intelligent man who coped brilliantly with the opprobrium heaped upon him by the idiotarian lefties. Obama ives the impresion that at the first sign of disapproval he’d fall apart. As the old npovelist dais: no breeeding and no bottom.

Here are a few thoughts about how government is making things worse.

Why Spending Stimulus Plans Fail
The money isn’t free. It is taken from the people who plan and invest in productive organizations. This destroys jobs and lowers income.

A Tested Stimulus Plan
The economic crisis is the result of a giant six year stimulus provided by housing loans. As you can tell, it worked for a while and ended in disaster. What will the current stimulus plans produce when the money runs out. Actually, the money has run out; the current stimulus is being done with borrowed or printed money.

Stimulus Does Not Cure a Recession
Jobs change when people change what they want to buy or can afford. It is possible to keep them at their money-losing jobs for a bit longer only by wasting the savings that should be financing a real recovery.
