President Obama's vision was shared by our Pilgrim Fathers of the Plymouth Colony in modern-day Massachusetts. They established a communist system. They all farmed together, and whatever they produced was put in a common storehouse. A certain amount of food was rationed to each person regardless of his contribution to the work. Many Pilgrims complained that they were too weak from hunger to do their share of the work. As deeply religious as the Pilgrims were, they took to stealing from one another. Gov. William Bradford, writing his history of the colony in "Of Plymouth Plantation," said, "So as it well appeared that famine must still ensue, the next year also if not some way prevented."And history tells us they damn near died that first year.

PRESIDENTIAL NONSENSE: Obama’s economic vision.
AN IGNORED DISPARITY: credentials versus marketable skills.
[C]olleges and universities can ... turn out vast numbers of people with credentials, but with no marketable skills with which to fulfill their expectations. There is nothing magic about simply being in ivy-covered buildings for four years.Read it all.
In countries around the world, people with credentials but no marketable skills have been a major source of political turmoil, social polarization and ideologically driven violence, sometimes escalating into civil war.
THE U.S. HAS BEEN WITHOUT A BUDGET during the entire Obama administration -- and now this. Budget? We don’t need no steenkin’ budget ... we’ll just print more money.
