Consequences

One of the most unnerving parts about the Obama administration is its inability to look at the consequences of its actions. It's obvious that they don't want us to think about them either, because it really isn't that often that they are the ones that mention them, at least not the real ones.
Just a couple of examples:
First and foremost the stimulus money, there really are only a few people who are thinking about the consequences of that one. We are living in an ever more privileged, selfish society who wants something for nothing and think it's deserved. People think free money that’s amazing way to go Obama. Don’t know how he did it, but he’s giving us FREE money. But there are those nasty consequences again. What happens when you get something from nothing. Well, in case you didn't know you can't get something for nothing, it's not possible there is a price for everything and if it isn't paid immediately it will be paid eventually. Obama just keeps printing money, if there's not enough just print more right, why not, it's free. Wrong there is a great cost. Right now the value of our currency is steadily falling and no one wants our money when there is nothing to back it. So suddenly our money has no value and our entire economy is collapsed. But it looks like that's what is wanted by the current administration anyway. It's a whole lot easier to take over an insolvent country than it is an economically stable one
Cash for clunkers- First of all it didn't work in the first place because the dealers were never getting the money that they were promised by the government. But they did sell more cars, more money went out of the hands of consumers into THAT market. I say THAT market because what the Obama administration didn't think about was the fact that there are also used car dealers. When you sell more new cars what happens to used car dealers, oh wait, they sell less used cars. Hmmmm, interesting how that works isn't it. You can make choices but you HAVE to think about the consequences of your actions. If it were an isolated situation I might think that it was coincidental. That it might not happen again, but it is not the first and it certainly won't be the last.
