Downsizing America: A MUST READ ! THANK YOU DEMOCRATS AND RHINO'S .

 A Letter From an “Obama Peasant” and a List of Over 300 Employers Who Have Cut Their Employees’ Hours Because of Obamacare




It’s a different dustbowl, but this time the media is telling everyone how great it all is.
Obama is downsizing America in every way imaginable. Downsizing the motor of the world (while incurring incalculable debt coupled with socialized medicine, Obamacare).
Last week I discussed Obama’s dismantling American hegemony on the world stage. Now more bad news on the home front.
I regularly receive letters like the one I was cc’ed on below to Senator Ted Cruz.
Dear Senator Cruz,
I am a new Obama Peasant (one suffering under the weight ofgovernment’s deleterious economic/liberty crushing policies). Your efforts to Preserve Our Liberty are intellectually and emotionally uplifting because of the possibilities they reveal. I want to Thank You.
For background, I’m a 50 year old man who -up until 2010- never knew poverty, hunger, fear of the future. I have owned my homes since I was 21. I lost my two full time jobs in May-2009 and since then, I have been pulverized by the weak/sick economy. If I can’t short-sell, I will be losing my home of 26.11 years . I can’t fix my 1987 Ford Escort wagon; I am riding a bike….Unbelievable. I cannot take care of my 74 year old Mother with early Alzhiemers. I have officially been in Poverty-to-Extreme Poverty since 2011.
I have 2 part-time jobs that don’t add up to a fraction of one of my previous jobs. I am trying to build a micro-business but it is difficult. I am pushing forward but I am at my weakest point in Life.
I have lost hope of being able to help save our country from the pernicious effects of the the Mystical Statist Wizards on the Potomac. They’ve been sinisterly successful in their duplicitous plot to wear people down to dependency on Them.
I wish I could go to Washington or join a group but I am to focused on basic survival. The only thing I have to offer to the winning the DEBATE for getting America on track toward its founding goals is an edited (toned) part of an old 1985 college economics paper for Professor Jay Forrester-M.I.T. that described a hypothetical future America that had reached the economic/financial/social/political limits of decades of expansion and debt financing.
Respectfully,
