Obama’s Strategy: Reward Failure - Big GovernmentAfter three weeks, most Americans still do not understand all of the behind-closed-door deals that had to be cut on the $965 Billion dollar bailout of Greece. Its yet another complicated deal, with little transparency to let non-governmental folks understand the specifics.
But, I do understand the power of a dream that can inspire a new generation. And I know that Obama just killed that dream.
Obamas decision to expand bailouts to include Greece coincided with a Senate hearing on another decision Obama made to cut funding for a government space travel program, killing the dream of a permanent station on the Moon or a landing on Mars.
As an unintended, but cruel, joke, Obamas decision to retreat from space exploration has been pushed as an example of the Presidents fiscal discipline. No doubt, Obama was hoping that such cuts would mask the fact that he has endorsed the greatest deficits spending in the history of the United States.
But, as with many of Obamas posturings, fiscal discipline was a canard. Obamas decision to cut NASAs space travel wasnt fiscally disciplined, it was just ill-informed.
Lets take another look at these two decisions.
