When I hear someone like her say something like this I have to wonder two things. Does she even know how much a trillion dollars is and does she have any idea where it comes from, or does she just think the government has unlimited amounts of money to spend on whatever they want.
To the first question, whether she knows how much money that is, honestly I don't think she has any concept of what a trillion dollars is. In real numbers this is approx $3,000 from the pockets of every man women and child in the United States. That's assuming that every man woman and child is working and can pay it. Now if we could afford to pay it we wouldn't need someone to give us the money would we, so even this is absurd for her to suggest.
It would seem the typical answer to everything for liberals is to throw OUR money at it and the ever famous, we need to educate people, as the second answer to the problem. They seem to think if you just give people facts it will change their behavior. Has AIDS gone away because of education on safe sex? To the contrary, it's made people feel safe to have sex. Does educating people about the good of telling the truth make people honest. If it did then we would not have a single liar in the nation, for we all know it is wrong to tell a lie.
If people like Maxine Waters doesn't know what a trillion is by now then she needs to go back to third grade. It is clear that she understands it's a number with 12 zeros after it, but beyond it doesn't mean anything to her as to how much work it takes to pay that back, and there is no concern that we the people would have to pay it back. She only wants to appear generous, WITH OUR MONEY!
Do we really need people with that sort of generosity running our nation.
To the second question I do not believe Maxine Waters or her ild ever consider where this money comes from, they think like many uneducated Americans that the government has as much money as it needs and if it doesn't have any more that it can just print it. It would seem that they think money just comes from thin air and from the government. In their minds the government makes the money and then gives it to us to use. It is probably for this reason that they think we owe them something and that they have every right to as much of our money as they want; after all they figure it came from them in the first place.
These two simplistic views are in evidence on a regular basis in the democrat party. They have no real concept of where real wealth comes from. They seem to think that wealth is something the government gave people and so they have ever right to take it back.
What self deluded world to democrats live in, and republicans for that matter too, or at least the elite republicans who've been in office for 20+ years?
Now we have the president talking all the time that it is time for the republicans to put the country ahead of their party... Translation: You should let us do whatever we want after all the democrats are the only ones that put country ahead of party.
Of course it is easy to be generous and caring with other people's money. I wouldn't mind a little of that generosity myself, so I propose that every congressional member must give up 75% of everything they own to help the poor. If they don't then it's clear that I care more about the poor than they do. After all this is what they're saying all the time. The media and the politicians are constantly talking about how uncompassionate it is for the government not to help people in need, storm victims, people who want abortions, people who want but don't have houses, and the list goes on. It is so easy to be compassionate and give these people all the things they want, OUR OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POCKETS.
Maxine Waters and her ilk are so out of touch with the rest of America that it's frightening.
Now of course we have Obama about to tell us how much we still need to "invest" more. This always means spend. He wants to impress on us how much the republicans don't want to bend because it makes it much harder for them to say that it is really the democrats that are not bending at all.
It is the democrats who can't offer anything more than to spend more money. They will put the country back to work by making the rest of us pay for it with taxes. They don't want businesses to do it, they want government to do it, but then aren't we the government? Isn't it our taxes that will put them back to work. I would rather have it be my investments, and I mean real investments that pay dividends putting people back to work.
Maxine Waters and Barack Obama, the socialists that they are simply don't understand this concept. All they understand is redistribution of wealth and this is what they mean to see happen.
