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.
