Trying to Get Peaches From Apple Trees

Share
I had a dream last night in which the only part I remember was a line that I need to stop trying to get peaches from apple trees. You can try all you want to plant an apple and get the tree to bear peaches, but in our understanding and with our technology it quite frankly cannot be done. Eventually, you have to stop innovating in ways that waste and go back to ideas that wok. Unfortunately, the president refuses to do anything except try old and doomed ideas from his socialistic upbringing and education that will do nothing but bankrpt us and every successive generation.

Why is it acceptable for the bloated and overpaid government to spend itself into mountains of debt? The President excoriates GM for allowing itself to be buried under a mountain of debt for which it cannot possibly hope to pay. China meanwhile started worrying about America's ability to pay on the bonds it owes them for the TARP and other bailout funds financed by that communist regime.

When the price of oil and gas goes up, Big Oil will be punished. The irony is that the government that will punish them is the same entity that has made it difficult if not impossible for Big Oil to do anything about soaring prices. The Obama administration rescinded leases and permits, banned shale oil, and enhanced environmental regulations restricting access to wilderness areas. He wants to nationalize them too. All the while, he flies a pizza chef in, takes an entire wing of fighters and helicopters to NYC to keep a promise to his wife to take her on a date, etc.

Businesses go out of business and he decides to go spend like money grows on trees to have a good time. He can't stay in the city where he lives; he has to trapes about the nation at our expense buying hamburgers and saving 25 policemen's jobs when there's plenty to do in D.C. Yet, he escapes all responsibility and will even be credited for the drop in new unemployment claims and in people taking from unemployment. Nevermind that some people have given up and that others have been on unemployment long enough that their benefit has now lapsed.

Everyone who earns money is richer than those who earn nothing. So, eventually, be ready to be taxed, irrespective of your income, under confiscatory levels to pay for Obama's luxuriation and for the largess which your friends, families, and neighbors exact of the President. Even if he meant to rule well, which I do not believe, he means to rule. Meanwhile, he promises you peaches, and plants only apple trees. Men cannot harvest grapes of thistles. You cannot do wrong and feel right. You cannot live evilly and be blessed. That is contrary to the order of the universe.
