Steve Wynn, Wynn Resorts, appeared on Fox News Sunday (10/11/09) with Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm. Chris Wallace asked Wynn if he saw any turn around in the economy. Wynn’s response and the following exchange with Granholm is revealing as it illustrated the total ineptness of Liberal Democrats and the philosophical failures of Liberalism.

Wynn said, “No, in the sense that I think that the priorities of the administration should have been more directly focused on job creation… And the most powerful weapon and the tool that the government has for that is its tax policy. If the government had used its power to restrain its tax collection they would have given everybody who runs small businesses, large businesses, a chance to hire more people and that could have been done an entirely different way. With eight or $900 billion we could have created four or five million jobs, which would have made a big difference. Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization’s history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody…The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America.

Granholm then showcased her incompetence and inherent flaws of liberalism. She whined, “It’s just so simplistic to say that! With all due respect… to say that government has never created a job or increased the standard of living… There are a lot of people who are grateful that in this country we have a minimum wage… who are grateful that they have access to Medicare and Medicaid. And I hope that we get access further to additional health care for those who are uninsured.”

Liberals just don’t get it! Reality and facts are a foreign concept. Take minimum wage. It is a job killer and is responsible for the 52% unemployment rate for unskilled teens and those entering the labor market for the first time. I doubt they are grateful. Medicare and Medicaid are going bankrupt with more than $50 trillion dollars in unfunded liability. Not a shining reference for socialized medicine. Government run health care is a proven failure.

The facts nullify Granholm’s credibility. In her two terms as governor she has demonstrated total failure in executive management. She has overseen the loss of 630,000 Michigan jobs and Michigan is expected to lose another 370,000 jobs in the next 14 months. In “simplistic” terms, the liberal democrat’s governance will have lost one million Michigan jobs and 1.4 million Michiganders now live below the poverty level.

In Detroit, governed by liberal democrats for decades, the economic condition is worse. The unemployment rate is 30%, social services agencies are struggling to provide food, clothing and shelter and 33% of its population lives below the poverty line. The democrat plan was to give Detroit residents that met certain criteria a $3,000 stimulus checks, referred to as “Obama money”, to help pay bills and rent or find temporary housing. The result was 35,000 people lined up for “Obama money” causing riots.

Not to worry, Obama and Granholm have a vision. Democrats will covert the state to an all-green technology that will create 40,000 new jobs by 2020. Then using fuzzy liberal math and grateful Michiganders she will proclaim a 960,000 job deficit a success. Using the standard liberal methods of lies, fuzzy math and misinformation, Granholm, Team Obama and democrats will claim their Marxist policies a success. Instead, Granholm revealed that she and her liberal democrat comrades are intellectually vacant and inept and the polls show more Americans are noticing.

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation… Rev. Charles Colton (19th Century)

Marxism, Communism, Socialism or Liberalism, however it is called, is a flawed philosophy practiced by the intellectually weak. It is a religion where its worshipers find importance in perception not substance. Where ever liberalism has been tried it has failed miserably. It would take volumes to chronicle all the failures. Throughout history Marxist have impoverished their people with liberalism and liberal elitist ignore the failures.Let’s look at just a few.

Lenin and Stalin implemented Marxism in the U.S.S.R. causing economic and cultural failure and ultimate collapse. Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Ho Chi Min, Pol Pot, et al, forced Socialism on their people, murdered millions while devastating their countries. Castro enforced Communism in Cuba and turned a thriving island into poverty.

FDR employed his disastrous socialist programs prolonging the Great Depresseion and sowing the seeds of failure. The liberal ponzi scheme, Social Security, is bankrupt. His housing welfare program, Fannie Mae, failed and was a cause of the current economic meltdown. LBJ’s War on Poverty failed miserably and has buried the American taxpayer with trillions of dollars of debt. His Medicare is bankrupt. In nine months Obama’s Marxism gave America a $1.4 trillion deficit.

Liberals have destroyed the once respected American education system. In forty years they have moved America from the top rank of industrial nations to the bottom quarter. U.S. students have been so dumbed-down that they can no longer compete in math, science, literature or history. That explains Obama! Liberals have taught American students to celebrate their stupidity. They rank number one in high self esteem. Obama was celebrated for his failures when he was given the Nobel Peace prize for accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Liberals exhibit failure when dealing with catastrophic events. Take Hurricane Katrina. The people just sat around and waited for their liberal democrat government to take care of them. Democrats failed, much of the city is still in shambles and they blame President Bush. Liberals ignore conservative communities in Florida and Iowa that were hit with hurricanes and floods. They did not wait for liberal democrat mismanagement and immediately responded. They have since rebuilt most of the destroyed homes and buildings.

The Obama recession has hit all fifty states. The states in the worse economic shape are run by democrats. The longer democrats have been in control the worse off the states are. California and Michigan are two shining examples of failing democrat states. Detroit is an example of a failing democrat city. While thousands of liberal minions embarrass themselves by lining up for non-existent “Obama money”, admitting they have no idea where he gets it; Michigan’s failed democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm is paraded around as some economic expert. Like all other mentally challenged liberals she is singing Obama’s praises and touting failed liberal policies like minimum wage, Social Security, Medicare and other job and economy killing policies as the answer to this recession. Delusional liberals are incapable of rational thought and instead just celebrate their failures.
