A Deficiency of Hope
Obama, FDR, and pessimism about America.
To the Obamas, both the world in general and America in particular have only a fixed quantity of resources (natural and financial). Their politics of “hope” consists of living with less to provide an expanded “pie” for others, to avoid offending other nations by our wealth and comfort, and to make the supply last as long as possible. Accordingly, Democrats oppose expanding our energy supply by allowing oil exploration in Alaska, off the Florida coast, or in the shale fields of Wyoming, or by developing new nuclear plants. Better to adjust our wants downward rather than persist in believing that we can enjoy an ever-rising standard of living for all.
Get the story.
