Zombie Rush the Stimulus Package...don't read it, just pass it!

Here's my favorite line from his speech:

Actually a stimulus is something that generates growth or action. Cutting taxes is the best and easiest way to do it. Instead of a small group of individuals trying to figure out how to best direct spending, let millions of people instead decide how to allocate resources. The invisible hand is a beautiful thing.

 

Seriously!

 

tentative agreement: $780 billion.

 

Well, there's an additional $49B Specter, Snowe and Collins want, so it's more than likely $839B. $839B. Jesus, I can barely type that number. Let's look at it again: $839,000,000,000.00. I can't believe this generation of politicians is going to throw that debt on my son's generation just to payoff their base.

 

Agreement for what reason? Some pork thrown to Maine and Pennsylvania so a few RINOs will vote for it and it can be called "bi-partisan"? What happened to the "no earmark" pledge by Obama in January regarding this pile of crap.

 

The word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out. - George Carlin

 

According to reports, the Republicans that are going to cross are Collins and Snowe of Maine and Specter of Pennsylvania. That's how tenuous the state of the GOP is in the Northeast. These three are begging to vote for this bill because they fear losing their seats.

 

Specter said he isn't running in 2010 unless Chris Matthews runs against him, and Snowe initially wasn't going to run in 2008 before deciding to do so. They're probably being bribed with ambassadorships or lobbying money once they're out of Congress.

 

Thanks for the correction on their re-election stati.

 

Got that right. The Great Gazoo controls all.

 

I put the Jerry Springer show and the Rush Limbaugh show in the same category. Its sad that a lot of people on the right actually listen to it religiously.

 

Have you read a word I posted about calling the GOP's bluff on a cloture vote?

 

Man, that's embarrassing. I so rarely use anything but a calculator or a computer program to do math, I've lost the ability to do simple arithmetic.

 

I wouldn't feel too bad. It's only $10 billion. That's couch money for DC these days.

 

Peter Schiff ups the ante in his criticism of the Obama plan.

Jim Rogers is the latest to sould alarm bells over this irresponsible economic plan.

Is Obama still mocking how "everybody thinks they are an economist"? I wonder, because some well-respected people in the economic world are coming out against his panic-driven agenda. I also wonder what Obama's economic level of education is as well. Is he an "economist"?
