The Most Unsustainable Thing in the World is the Federal Deficit Spending in Washington DC

The word unsustainable has taken on so many new meanings and uses that it's hard to say what it really stands for.
Often people tell us things are unsustainable when the very proposals they promote and the projects they purport are ironically infeasible.
Let's go ahead and talk about this for a moment, and I'd like to make a comment to those left-leaning fellows who simply can't control their use of this word, and cannot complete more than three or four sentences without using it.
Perhaps, you would be so good as to stop bantering around that silly "unsustainable" term every time you are trying to make a point, it's getting ridiculous.
You see, I cannot pick up a newspaper or watch the TV news for more than 4-5 minutes without some neo-liberal-socialist claiming that whatever we are doing is "unsustainable" in order to make a point in their argument and force their agenda down our throats.
Fact is, our so-called "progressives" running the government and their policies are about the most unsustainable bunch of nonsense I've ever seen.
Let's take alternative energy for instance.
On one hand we have the Obama Administration complaining that coal, oil, and natural gas are unsustainable.
That's interesting, because they work just fine.
And we have something like 200 years worth of coal reserves in the United States, and we keep finding more and more natural gas within our borders.
Not only that but these are relatively inexpensive forms of energy, and they are easy to convert and provide lots of BTU.
Not only are they sustainable in the short term, but there also very reliable energy sources.
They are very reliable unlike wind and solar, as those forms of energy generation do not provide a similar return on investment, nor are they reliable enough to be used for our base load electricity generation.
Another point of contention is when President Obama gets up on his podium reading his Teleprompter and explains to us that capitalism is not sustainable the way we are practicing it.
It is true that the way President Obama practices capitalism is not sustainable, because it is called crony capitalism and it has to do with corporate welfare, paying off political supporters, and making all the lobbyist happy by having the government provide protectionism against competitors both foreign and domestic.
It's true that that type of capitalism is not sustainable.
It certainly isn't, so perhaps he should look in his mirror.
Further, it should be understood that socialism, which the Obama Administration enjoys practicing is definitely unsustainable (opinion) if we just look at the mounting national debt.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
