What exactly is so patriotic about further bloating the federal government and rampant deficit spending that has us trillions of dollars in debt?
Via Daily Mail:
It’s campaign time again, so the President is selling his version of big government economic populism — a call for “Economic Patriotism.”
“We could do so much more if we just rallied around an economic patriotism, a sense that our job is to get things done as one nation and as one people,” he during a Tuesday speech in Washington.
The phrase “economic patriotism” evokes the 1930s emphasis on central economic planning by big-government supporters in Europe and the United States, such as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
