Don't blame us demoscats..when the money isn't spent wisely...don't blame us when 3-4 million jobs aren't created...don't blame us when GDP goes down instead of up...don't blame us when this money is spent on every boondoggle leftists have ever conceived...don't blame us when unemployment rises instead of falling...don't blame us for the roaring inflation this bill will cause.

This moron must be kidding.

The CBO...Congressional Budget Office..made up of government economists SAYS..this bill will actually harm the economy in the long run...and LOWER Gross Domestic Product..the sum total of all goods and services produced in the United States. The CBO SAYS this PORKULUS Bill will cause more harm than IF NOTHING WERE DONE AT ALL. In other words, we would be better off if we do nothing whatsoever than to enact this piece of crap demoscat legislation.

But there the leftist demoscats are...including Barack Hussein O'Bomber...saying the sun will fall out of the sky, the birds will stop singing, the grass will stop growing, the wind will stop blowing...unless we throw 1.5 Trillion dollars at every leftist wet dream project ever conceived.

No wonder the demoscats want Republican fingerprints on this loser legislation. That's what all the talk about bi-partisan cooperation to produce this loser legislation is all about....and the constant braying by demoscats that Republicans are attempting to de-rail the demoscat legislation...to save America..and the world.

"That doesn't mean Congress will be responsible if the money is spent badly..."
David Obey, demoscat, WI

In other words...and predictably right on schedule, demoscats are attempting to get credit for "their good intentions" while avoiding responsibility for the harm they cause by their nonsense. As for me, I don't give these leftist brain dead morons credit for even having good intentions in the first place.

What is that old saying? I know I have it right on the tip of my tongue... Oh yeah, there it is:

"The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions"

It's been hard enough trying to keep a lid on my little problem with foul language given the news I've been reading! How naive of me to have thought that I had covered good ground!

Thank you, Rep. Obey, for nothing more and nothing less than another wonderful example of the immoral vicissitudes of politicians.

So let me get this straight?

Because the decision was made to do away with a few earmarks, Congress has no acountability as to what happens with the stimulus because Congress will have less control over it. Is this correct?

"So what? This is an emergency. We've got to simply find a way to get this done as fast as possible and as well as possible, and that's what we're doing."
- Rep. David Obey

"So what?" ????

"So what?" !!!!

Are these really the best congressional members America could send to the Congress of the United States? Those who want to do somethin...without regard to doing the best thing which could be done to fix whatever problem exists? Just doin somethin and then refusing to accept responsibility when it makes the problem worse..."don't blame us if the money is not spent wisely"...we did somethin.

Or

When it's pointed out that the somethin they're doin is utterly useless and wasteful spending of taxpayer money, they say...So What..we're doin somethin and if we don't do somethin, the Earth will bolt out of orbit and head out of the Solar System into the depths of interstellar space.

I sympathize with your attempts to keep a lid on foul language..profanity.

You can't fix something when you don't even understand how it works, and the chances of your ideas working are even less if you aren't even addressing the things that are evident.

Why has the addressing of the mortgage problem been half-a$$ed?!?!?

Why is there more of an effort to treat the economy like some sort of giant sexual organ that needs to be "stimulated"?

Try to answer these questions and it begins to seem that these current economic issues are being used as opposed to being treated.

Of course, that's all you can really expect when the people in charge of the resources to address these problems are the very same people that created the conditions for these problems to grow in the first place. And instead of even trying to figure out the best method to fix or subdue these problems (which could include the option of doing nothing until a more transparent problem occurs), the general consensus is to inject them with a growth hormone that will indubitably make matters even worse for the future...

because we have to do something.

Most, if not all, of these politicians are entrenched in their collective fear. As long as they keep thinking of the economy as a by-product of a material world, they will only worsen the problems at hand. Economies are living entities that reflect the soundness (or the lack thereof) of the relationships between markets, regulations, and populations. And by "regulations" I don't merely mean governments (although governments are almost always irrevocably involved), but the many underlying forces that tend to "regulate" (e.g. supply and demand).

The problems we are now facing are not sourced in the economy itself so you can't fix anything by trying to fix the economy. That's like saying, "My stomach hurts. Let's try to stimulate it with some bacon."

That's not to say that nothing should be done. There are many problems at hand. One of them, at least, has to do with the perversion of the ideas of fairness and equality. As with the economy, there are those with the ridiculous belief that a paragon of these ideas can be reached by constructing appropriate legislation. But what is fair in the eyes of a collective does not often relate to what is fair in the eye of God. And so, as it was in the eyes of a certain collective of a not-so-distant past, the decision was made to correct certain social inequalities by socializing the accessibility of property regardless of eligibility. A decision that led to an unwarranted growth and its eventual collapse. This mistake hasn't yet been addressed, let alone admitted!
