Charlie Crist, in an interview aired last night, admitted that he embraced Obama’s stimulus “fix” and in all good conscience could not face firing thousands of Florida teachers due to budget shortfalls.

It seems Charlie can’t break free from the economic paradigm that plagues this country, where money magically drops from the sky with no strings attached. Doesn’t Charlie understand that money coming from Washington increases our debt? Doesn’t he understand that at least one third of that money comes from China, and accepting it is tantamount to accepting foreign aid for the state? Does he realize that the teacher’s whose jobs he will “save”, as well as the children being taught, will live their entire lives under a tax structure and inflationary environment which serves merely to pay the interest on this unsustainable debt?

And finally, does Charlie realize that when he leaves Florida for Washington, there’s a Leader ready to take his place, who doesn’t want a dime of Washington’s “magic” money, and who still proposes to keep every Florida teacher employed, plus generate thousands of new jobs, revitalize the economy and create a budget surplus for Florida, just like North Dakota has today?

It appears that in Politics old habits die hard, even really bad ones. But more and more Americans, including Floridians, are beginning to understand that the old habit of depending on international banks and foreign investors to magically “monetize” our future and pile interest on our debt needs to be thrown out with the bent spoon and dirty needles.

With Charlie headed for that nefarious den of debt peddlers on Capital Hill, prudent taxpayers will TAKE ACTION to reduce and eliminate our foreign debt addiction.

As much as we’d like to rehabilitate Charlie, it looks as though he’s not quite ready to do it for himself, or for his country. He’s a good public servant, but with a habit like that, the prospects for his political future look dim.
