The catastrophic failure of progressive policy

[P@triot]

This isn't the federal government - but it is an example of the astounding ineptitude of government.

Recently, Seattle’s Waterfront Park decided it would be a good idea to buy a set of three wind turbines for around $107,000. The three wind turbines (who are all white, if you were wondering) will generate $1.39 worth of electricity a day, or a spectacular $42 a month. Now, that may not seem like a lot, but that’s because that’s the low estimate. At peak generation, the turbines will create about . . . wait for it . . . over 5 bucks a day! Or $168 a month in electricity! At that rate, it will only take about 53 years for the wind turbines to pay for themselves! Well, assuming no maintenance costs. Or staffing. Or anything else.

Proving yet again that progressives are completely ignorant of basic business and basic economics. They have absolutely no concept of ROI or TCO, etc. But wait. The insanity doesn't stop there. It gets better. As usual, the ignorant progressive "representative" has no idea what they are voting on...

City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch summed up the wind turbines’ energy production perfectly — along with the reason government is horrible at everything: “I did not realize they would produce so little energy. I wouldn’t have voted for it knowing it was that little.”

Nobody knows how to regress society to viking standards like progressives....

Three years later, some local law enforcement officials are blaming proposition 47 for a drastic increase in crime in California. According to KTTV-TV, arrests are down 30% since the new law, but violent crime is up an incredible 40% in Los Angeles.

What a shame that so many good citizens must suffer because of the failed left-wing policies of progressives.

It's such a damn shame that good citizens are forced to suffer because of progressives. I think the left-wing representatives who approve their district violating federal law should be held criminally liable. They should be charged with the same crime as the idiot illegal alien who stole the vehicle and raped the women and they should receive the same sentence.

In December 2016, commissioners in Multnomah County approved a measure officially making the county a “sanctuary” for illegal immigrants. At the time the resolution was passed, Loretta Smith, a commissioner in the county, said she had “no idea” what the “repercussions” of the decision would be, but that it was the “right thing” and “good” for the community.

What kind of an idiot passes legislation while openly admitting they have "no idea" what the repercussions would be? That is the type of irresponsible "representation" that we see time and time again from the left.

Here is Pocahontas the progressive setting women back decades.

Being a very progressive woman in Congress, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) routinely speaks out about the gender wage gap that Democrats and feminists allege exists in the American marketplace. However, according to a report from the Free Beacon, Warren’s gender pay gap in her office is so large that it is 10% larger than the national average.

There is nothing more regressive than progressive policy.

Left-wing insanity always ends the same... more poverty, more misery, more death.

After studying hundreds of years of history, conservatives have the solutions down to a science - while progressives continue to toil in catastrophic failure as they ignore reality in favor of ideology.

As Ronald Reagan stated - "weakness invites aggression". When Bill Clinton refused to deal with Al Qaeda and pulled out of Somalia at the first sign of a fight (like a coward), he convinced the world that America was cowardly. That emboldened the world. That coupled with failing to deal with Al Qaeda gave them the time and motivation to plan and execute 9/11. The mastermind of the attack - Khalid Sheik Mohammed - admitted that they were stunned by the response by the Bush Administration and that the Bush strategy prevented more attacks.

“Then he looked at me and said, ‘How was I supposed to know that cowboy George Bush would announce he wanted us ‘dead or alive’ and then invade Afghanistan to hunt us down?’” Mitchell writes.

“KSM explained that if the United States had treated 9/11 like a law enforcement matter, he would have had time to launch a second wave of attacks.” He was not able to do so because al-Qaeda was stunned “by the ferocity and swiftness of George W. Bush’s response.”

Had Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush been in office instead of Bill Clinton, 9/11 never happens. Weakness invites aggression. And the progressive idealistic weakness has invited unspeakable horrors against the U.S. It was done once again by Barack Obama - by making heavy cuts to our U.S. military (sending a signal to enemies) and by sending billions in ransom money to Iran.

A horrifying look into the mind of 9/11’s mastermind, in his own words

Considering that 9/11 happened nearly a year after Bush took office, that it was Obama that took out Bin Laden and Reagan sent hundreds of young soldiers off to die for no apparent reason, I would trust Democrats more than Republicans.

Look at Trump.

You can always count on idiotic left-wing communist policy to end in poverty, misery, and collapse...

The roughly 1.4 million Californians who buy health insurance through the state Covered California exchange will see their premiums increase by an average of 12.5% next year.

Covered California, created under the Affordable Care Act and in its fourth year of operation, announced the proposed 2018 prices on Tuesday. Bay Area counties will see smaller increases than the 12.5% statewide rise. Rate increases will average 6.6% in San Francisco, 4.3% in San Mateo County, 8.2% in Contra Costa County, 10.4% in Santa Clara County and 8.3% in Alameda County. Marin, Solano, Sonoma and Napa counties are all part of the same pricing region, which will see an average increase of 7.4% overall.

Counties in the northern and central state would see far greater average increases of 33.2% and 24%, respectively. Experts said Bay Area rate increases are smaller in part because Kaiser, which dominates the region, generally had lower rate increases than other insurers.

What once was a thriving, successful nation has been decimated by left-wing ideology. Nothing ends in poverty, misery, and death like left-wing policy...

This is what left-wing policy does. It takes formerly successful nations and collapses them - to the point where there currency is actually worth less than the currency of a video game.

Nothing ends in collapse like left-wing policy...

No surprise here. The left completely collapsed Detroit. Plus their party is primarily made up of criminals anyway...

What a shame that the Dumbocrat Party not only allowed an invasion of violent criminal gangs into the U.S. - but actually encouraged it.

The Trump administration is taking on the violent MS-13 gang. This is what’s in the works

The catastrophic failure of left-wing policy cannot be overstated. It doesn't just devastate economies - it devastates liberty, innovation, basic rights, and life.

Friedrich Hayek famously observed that socialist central planning puts countries on the road to serfdom.

The latest dead end on that highway to hell—already littered with the human victims of past failed attempts in places like Cuba and the old Soviet Union—is in Caracas, Venezuela.

This is the misery that progressives desperately want to bring to the shores of the United States. They came very close under Barack Insane Obama.

As The Economist magazine reported earlier this year, the damage in Venezuela is extensive. The economy has contracted dramatically—gross domestic product in 2017 will be nearly 25% smaller than when Chavez died in 2013. Hyperinflation—and the complete economic collapse it signals—seems to be just around the corner.

Inflation is predicted to exceed 1,600% this year and the value of the country’s currency—the bolivar—has plummeted. As wags on Twitter have noted, it is now worth less than the virtual gold tokens in the “World of Warcraft” video game.

Left-will policy has never worked. It never will work. It has a failure rate of 100% worldwide. It decimated the former U.S.S.R., Cuba, Detroit, Venezuela, and is about to collapse Illinois.

Had Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush been in office instead of Bill Clinton, 9/11 never happens.

You have no way of knowing that.

As you know, there is strong evidence to support that assertion. It is highly doubtful, that either Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush would have put in place the wall of silence between the 17 intelligence agencies which caused 9/11/2001. President Clinton made it impossible for any of the intelligence to communicate much less work together to connect the dots.

Is there some reason you essentially repeat the same rant over and over again? Loon.

"Liberal" policy hasn't failed. Prior to social security more than half of the elderly lived below the poverty line.

Prior to OSHA, workplaces were unsafe.

Prior to Richard Nixon's EPA, your corporate scum could dump their toxins into our air and water with impunity.

Prior to wage and hour laws working people were forced into sweatshops for what were abusive and explorative wages.

Now shut up and post after you've learned something.

Thanks.

You're talking about 50 to 100 years back in history. Back when this was the Democrat Parties philosophy. Before they became Socialists.

Other than some civil war hot spots the world is pretty peaceful . Even Israel and Palestine have been quiet .

 

[Uncensored2008]

Remember when Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of the Dumbocrats egregiously lied to the American people and said that the Affordable Healthcare Act would drastically reduce healthcare costs for the American people? The left continues to destroy America in their quest for power and control.

Record-High Health Care Spending Hits $3.2 Trillion in 2015

Health care costs have been increaing for decades . Boomers are getting older .

What's the GOP plan? Oh, do nothing .

Why have health care costs been increasing, Herr Himmler?

Medicare....

Care to mention a time in history where the world was more peaceful ? Most of the shit now is civil wars .

Is France having a civil war? Sweden? Germany? England? And the list goes on!

You mean like Nancy Pelosi read it?
