My kids have a game they call "Opposite World". When in "Opposite World" everything you say actually means the opposite. When I see President Obama host a "Fiscal Responsibility" summit hard on the heels of the most wasteful spending bills ever passed in the history of our country, I begin to wonder... am I dreaming, or are we in "Opposite World" where we do the opposite of what we say?
When it comes to spending money on liberal causes ($30 million to the salt marsh mouse in California, just one example), "fiscal responsibility" goes out the window. But Obama's idea of "fiscal responsibility" appears to be raising taxes on the very people in our country who actually *create* jobs. I'm not an economist, but I don't think it takes an economist to realize that spending like crazy on one hand (on what, apparently, it doesn't matter, just spend!) while raising taxes in order to create the appearance of "fiscally responsibility" is a recipe for disaster.
