If only Matt's Congressman and a Great American, John Boehner; or my Congresswoman, and a Great American, Jean Schmidt, had the stones to say this to the manchild baby President we now have....
Here is the transcript. The bold parts I think are especially pertinent to the manchild incompetent President of the US:
Prime Minister, I see you’ve already mastered the essential craft of the European politician, namely the ability to say one thing in this chamber and a very different thing to your home electorate. You’ve spoken here about free trade, and amen to that. Who would have guessed, listening to you just now, that you were the author of the phrase ‘British jobs for British workers’ and that you have subsidised, where you have not nationalised outright, swathes of our economy, including the car industry and many of the banks? Perhaps you would have more moral authority in this house if your actions matched your words? Perhaps you would have more legitimacy in the councils of the world if the United Kingdom were not going into this recession in the worst condition of any G20 country?
The truth, Prime Minister, is that you have run out of our money. The country as a whole is now in negative equity. Every British child is born owing around £20,000. Servicing the interest on that debt is going to cost more than educating the child. Now, once again today you try to spread the blame around; you spoke about an international recession, international crisis. Well, it is true that we are all sailing together into the squalls. But not every vessel in the convoy is in the same dilapidated condition. Other ships used the good years to caulk their hulls and clear their rigging; in other words – to pay off debt. But you used the good years to raise borrowing yet further. As a consequence, under your captaincy, our hull is pressed deep into the water line under the accumulated weight of your debt We are now running a deficit that touches 10% of GDP, an almost unbelievable figure. More than Pakistan, more than Hungary; countries where the IMF have already been called in. Now, it’s not that you’re not apologising; like everyone else I have long accepted that you’re pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility for these things. It’s that you’re carrying on, wilfully worsening our situation, wantonly spending what little we have left. Last year - in the last twelve months – a hundred thousand private sector jobs have been lost and yet you created thirty thousand public sector jobs.
Prime Minister, you cannot carry on for ever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit. You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt. And when you repeat, in that wooden and perfunctory way, that our situation is better than others, that we’re ‘well-placed to weather the storm’, I have to tell you that you sound like a Brezhnev-era apparatchik giving the party line. You know, and we know, and you know that we know that it’s nonsense! Everyone knows that Britain is worse off than any other country as we go into these hard times. The IMF has said so; the European Commission has said so; the markets have said so – which is why our currency has devalued by thirty percent. And soon the voters too will get their chance to say so. They can see what the markets have already seen: that you are the devalued Prime Minister of a devalued government.
What a breath of fresh air! This guy needs to give the GOP leadership a swift kick in the bum! He has seen socialism, including the garbage of socialized medicine, and he advises us not to go down the Pelosi path to destruction! See what he says about socialized medicine in an interview with Sean Hannity:
Is it a good idea for the U.S. to invest in nationalized health care?
HANNAN: Now, first of all, it's important that you understand that that's a true story, and it's a typical story. It's not in the newspapers because it's unusual. We have a rationing body that's called, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence. It's known as NICE, N-I-C-E, which, coincidentally, there was an adult novel by C.S. Lewis in the 1940s where the NICE was this kind of Satanic conspiracy.
And in terms of them, align affects, you can sort of see the connection. I mean it's a terrible thing to put anyone in this situation, any bureaucrat in this situation, of having to make those life and death decisions because they are literally life and death decisions.
HANNITY: So you...
HANNAN: The worse thing is for you as the recipient of health care because you've got no control over what you get. There's no contractual relationship between you and the suppliers, so, you know, if they treat you today or next week or six weeks from now, where it's too late because your condition has already deteriorated.
HANNITY: So your advice.
HANNAN: ... there's nothing you can do about it. You are expected to queue up with a smile and be grateful for what you have. And it is — it's the last survivor of the kind of socialist post-war conspiracy. Sorry, socialist post war –- yes, I'm tired. It's midnight. Socialist post-war consensus...
HANNITY: All right, let me ask you.
HANNAN: ... in the U.K.
HANNITY: So your advice to America is to stay away from socialized health care. I think you're very clear on that. Let me ask you what.
HANNAN: If you — listen, if you get nothing else from what I'm saying this evening, please do not make that mistake. If there are any congressman watching this who think, yes, it might be a bit fair, yes, it'd be a bit sort of cozy, you know, I promise you, it is worse for doctors. It's worse for patients. It's worse for taxpayers.
Listen to a harbinger, someone who lives with the type of nonsense Pelosi and Co. want to bring to America....the line must be drawn here, and no further!
