In my last post, I asked, how could anyone defend
someone who by his inactions, killed over 150,000 American’s,
now I ask another question…
during the Great depression, the worst economic episode in
American history, during the worst part of the Great depression,
the worst quarter drop in economic activity was 12.9%…
during the last quarter, the economic drop was 32%…
a recession is roughly 5% drop quarterly and that is two quarters
in a row…for some economist, a recession is a 1.5-2.0% rise in
unemployment… and during this last quarter, we had rise of over
20% in unemployment…
by every economic indicator, we had a unprecedented economic
collapse and who was president? IQ45 was… and he must
be held accountable to his incredible terrible response to
the economic collapse…
he failed in every way possible in his response to the economic
collapse…
if he is not responsible, then who is?
if the exact same economic collapse had happened under Obama,
the right wing would demand his execution… but because it was
a GOP president who failed, not a peep from the right…
we must hold our leaders accountable for actions taken and not
taken… as they must be held accountable for their actions,
but what if we don’t hold our leaders accountable?
then what?
what if Lincoln had failed in holding the union together?
would we hold him accountable? of course we would…
that is what happens to a leader who failed…
and IQ45 has failed in his economic response to the collapse
of the economy…
he cannot be held innocent for his failure to respond to this
crisis… because then we can’t hold anyone responsible for any
actions, taken or not taken… we must hold IQ45 to the exact
same standards we hold all our leaders or there is no accountability
for anyone… Joe blow kills someone… well, we can’t hold him responsible
for his actions… because, well just because…just like IQ45…
if we are held to be accountable for our actions, then he must
be held accountable for his actions or in this case, his inactions…
extenuating circumstances doesn’t excuse anyone for their actions taken
or not taken…
if a man steals because he is poor, we still hold him accountable…
regardless of the circumstances he found himself in…we must hold
people accountable for their actions or we don’t have any type of
justice in America…Justice means holding people accountable for
their actions, taken or not taken…
if you hold that people must be held accountable for their actions,
then we must hold IQ45 accountable for his actions or his inactions…
