Psychopolitics with Dr. Brian

By Dr. Brian Russell

Psychopolitics: I watched a proponent of the Obama Administration’s fiscal policy on Your World with Neil Cavuto on Monday, and I had to laugh at the mindset illustrated by his answer to Neil’s question about how we’re going to balance the federal budget. The guest said that there were only two ways to do it: 1) raise taxes, and 2) inflate the currency (i.e. print more money). Anybody else see a third option? Like maybe cut spending?!? As you can see, that thought doesn’t even go through these people’s minds. (I also had to laugh on Monday at the utter disdain on the face of H.H.S. Sec. Kathleen Sebelius when she actually had to listen to Americans at a town hall meeting who don’t support the Administration’s health care reform plan. I recognized that look from her days as governor of Kansas — she appears to think not only that “regular folks” are complete idiots, but also that she shouldn’t even have to listen, let alone explain herself, to them).
