"There's no such thing as a free lunch"

Sound familiar? Sure it does...we've all heard the phrase many times in our lives, and I daresay that 99% of us have also used it at least once. Basically, what the phrase means is that nothing in this life is free - you have to pay for everything you get, one way or the other. And that should be no surprise to anyone....that you have to pay for the things you get, that is.

Well, I can think of a hell of a lot of people for which this little phrase is gonna be one hell of a big surprise, and those people are the ones who voted for NObama. You see, a few days ago I saw an interview with NObama on the "TODAY" show, and the interviewer asked him about his health care plan - specifically, who was going to pay for it.

And The Great Pretender's reply? "Well, the first thing everyone has to realize is that there's no such thing as a free lunch!" Couple THIS little gem with the statement made by his chief financial advisor a few weeks ago that a tax hike to pay for the health care plan "was on the table," and it becomes glaringly apparent just who is gonna pay for it.

WE ARE, and we're gonna pay for it through - hang on to your ass, America - MORE TAXES.

Now, think back to last year when the presidential campaign was in full swing...I seem to recall a speech where NObama stated that there would be NO NEW TAXES if he were elected President, and he then proceeded to name the taxes that he would NOT impose or raise. Now, here it is six months into his term, and he's all but come out and told us that he's going to either implement new taxes or raise existing taxes to pay for his health care plan.

Oh, sure, he's gonna tell us that he's not going to raise taxes for "anyone who has a combined income of less than $250,000.00 a year." But ya gotta remember, this is the same guy who told us less than a year ago that he wouldn't raise taxes at all. He lied to us then, so why shouldn't we think that he's lying to us now? Also, when the high rollers in America find out that they're going to be footing the bill for NObama's health plan to cover the poor, do you really think that they're going to just sit on their hands and let that happen? Hell, no, they won't! And I'm guessing that anyone who has enough money to have to worry about being taxed also has enough clout in political and economic circles to raise such a stink and put such pressure on the nice folks in the Congress that The Great Pretender is gonna have no choice but to raise taxes across the board, no matter what your income.

Mark my word, people, this is gonna happen....

People need to wake up and realize that they've been had by a smooth-talking, 'tell 'em what they wanna hear' charlatan, a snake oil salesman in a three piece suit. This guy told us all that his Stimulus Package - which the American people paid for with their tax money - would create jobs and cap unemployment at 8.5%. Well, the latest independent studies have shown that the great influx of "new jobs" promised by The Great Pretender haven't materialized, and nationwide unemployment is now at 10% - in some states it's closer to 11%.

But when you ask somone in the NObama camp about that, they'll be very quick to tell you that "the full effects of the Stimuls Package won't really be seen until 2010."

Well, that's not what they told us in January when the Democratic congress ramrodded the package through over the howling objections of the Republicans, is it?

The handwriting is on the wall, people - the Obama Administration is destined to be the ruination of this country, and when it's all over we're gonna be in worse shape than we were after Jimmy "Mr. Peanut" Carter's administration. And it's gonna be up to the next President to clean up the mess.

And that President, mark my words, is gonna be a REPUBLICAN.
