"He takes money from the rich and gives it to the poor! Like Robin Hood!" Maddi, my sister, said. (Names have been changed.)
"No, he doesn't. He does the opposite of that. No, not even that! He's just chucking money at people in hopes that somehow or other they might actually use it to help the economy," I said. "In otherwords, he has no clue what he's doing."
"No, he pretty much takes from the poor and the rich," said Jacklyn, a friend of mine. (Again, names have been changed.)
"Actually, if we're still comparing him to Robin Hood, then he's Prince John. Definately. You know, that evil dude? I mean, no one actually thinks he's helping at all, do they? Think about it. We're in debt. How does chucking several trillion dollars down the drain help any more than putting a fire hose in a flooded basement?" I asked. Yes, I know, I'm having me talk three times as much as anyone else, but hey, I'm the blogger!
"Nobody can be worse than Obama!" ranted Jacklyn.
"Actually, there's dictators, psychopaths, terrorists, serial killers, that one person who's the dictator of Cuba whatever he's called, etc., etc." I pointed out.
"Well, you know a lot of stuff. I don't. You have like, a huge-r mind than me (even though I'm using bad grammar)!" she replied.
"Or maybe I just think of it that way. Ever thought of that?"
"Still!"
Anyways, that pretty much sums up my opinion of Obama. (And Jackie's. And Maddi's.) But just so you don't think I'm being racist or anything, Thomas Sowell is one of my favorite authors. Basic Economics is a product of his genius and obvious talent. He also happens to be black. Whatev', though. Like I care.
