Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I always just assumed that liberals were stupid... By extension, this means the President is stupid.. And because he, and they, are so stupid, they pass stupid policies into law.. then wonder why they don't work? Wondering why their "green" energy plans don't create jobs? Wondering why high taxes don't stimulate economic growth? Wondering why their idiotic plans lead to less of everything? Yet they promote them over and over again.. With the same result: FAILURE.

But that's not entirely true.. As it turns out, I was giving them far too much credit... Because the truth is, they are both evil and stupid.

There's a completely overlooked article in the rabidly left wing "Mother Jones" from 2010 that explains their evil, stupid thinking perfectly. I've seen people wrack their brains trying to explain the liberal's bizarre behavior and the closest they ever get is something along the lines of "Socialism!" Or "They just want to grow government!" "Attacks on the Rich = Envy!" and so on..

There may be bits of truth in those accusations, but it's not nearly that simple.. Their desire is to achieve a static economy. Literally one with zero growth. So, it's not that they believe their silly plans will take root and create wealth and prosperity.. They WANT them to work, but to them a plan that "works" arrests economic growth entirely..

So, why? That's a good question, right? It centers around resource depletion, but it really goes much farther than that... It encompasses everything liberalism preaches. Social Justice.. As many government employees as possible.. Income re-distribution (Because this is NECESSARY in a static economy) Punishing conventional energy.. Further, they see this as a world wide problem.. So, then such things as international carbon tax schemes and GLOBAL re-distribution become necessary.. Because everything is static, everywhere.. And if a few guys end up with all the money, and there's no growth, because they won't permit it.. Then you have poverty, falling living standards and eventually, upheaval.

So, while we assume they're looking at some wrong headed idea and are thinking it will bring prosperity.. They aren't! They're looking at arresting growth! Because an idea that "works" kills economic growth! They want to freeze everything, grab business capital, re-distribute assets and just pull the world economy to a full stop. Well, in first world nations anyway.. The less fortunate will be caught up and then they can STOP GROWING TOO!

This article explains it ALL! Frankly, I'm amazed they published it.. Because in so doing, they've unmasked themselves and explained liberalism's strange proclivities better than any other thing I've read in my entire life. It's a must read, and viewed through this lens, EVERYTHING liberals do makes perfect sense.

Nothing Grows Forever
Why do we keep thinking the economy will?

Unless, of course, there's a third way. Could we have a healthy economy that doesn't grow? Could we stave off ecological collapse by reining in the world economy? Could we do it without starving?
