These are not scare tactics. They are mature approaches to real problems. Obama and the Democrats are either TRYING to destroy this nation, or so economically illiterate and reckless that the same end may as well be their aim.
We can start running ads showing that our true debt is $86 trillion, which is $277,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States. Now, the 86 trillion is payable over a number of years, so the situation is not as dire as it may seem, but it will get WORSE the longer we wait.
Why not start telling this story in the complicit media now, through paid advertising? If the Republicans won’t do it, some other advocacy group like FreedomWorks needs to put it together. Start fundraising NOW. Start issue campaigning NOW.
Give Obama what he wants. In absolute terms, as idiotic and destructive as what he is calling for is likely to be, it’s small change compared to our real problems. Even getting a small concession is not worth the years of propaganda he will get out of it. He is literally planning to blame what Republicans do now for economic conditions two years from now.
Why not just say “Look, we don’t like these policies. NO Republicans want to vote for them. But who knows? Maybe Obama is right. If so, then he will proudly claim the economy two years from now. If not, then he still HAS to claim it, as we gave him what he said he needed. There will be NOWHERE else to point the finger.”
