The Contradictions

of the MSNBC Left

excerpts

• The long-running “Lean Forward” marketing campaign features different MSNBC hosts waxing poetic on the glories of government and liberalism. 
• It’s one of several ads equating American greatness with big infrastructure spending on the scale of the Hoover Dam. 
• As the number of interest groups claiming sovereignty over their own little slices of policy multiplies, government’s maneuvering room shrinks.
• Look, I’m no Keynesian, but there should have been at least an economic sugar rush from the stimulus.
• Why didn’t we? Because money isn’t the problem, government is.  

Liberalism is like Wimpy in this old Popeye cartoon.  The liberals manage to get money out of us all in order to support their mooching, unproductive ways.

I'll label it as Wimpy Economics.  Wimpy's technique is to finagle a hamburger out of somebody for which he claims that he will gladly pay you back someday.

That's how our liberal government works these days.  They claim that they'll pay off the debts "someday", but you know it will never happen.  Their ideas won't work because of their inherent contradictions.  Just like Maddow extolling the virtues of a dam which would never get built thanks to the contradictions in the same political party that advocates big projects that turn out not to be "shovel ready".
