Democrats are turning up the volume on the stimulus while the GOP has finally put their foot down. Obama is using TV, again, to pander to us. Can you even imagine that there are now talks about another stimulus package of borrowing and spending in DC. I don’t know if I am blind, deaf and dumb but wasn't it borrowing and spending money across every part of economy that got us here in the first place?
The current stimulus package has already shown the typical mismanagement and ineffectiveness of the government to run this kind of operation. Pilfering the money already for pet projects should have every American marching in the streets and a real sign of what else is coming. Worse we are allowing them to do it. Why? Because they don’t care about, listen to or even acknowledge our ideas, sentiment and outrage. How does it feel to be impotent and marginalized in America.
It should be more than apparent that McCain is correct in his dialogue that this money is being used for political gain and pet projects. It is also apparent that the program only, 4 months into it, is not working as planned and the unemployment and economic downturn continues to get worse. Only %6.8 has been invested in the turn around which is appalling from my perspective. If you are going to do it – do it quickly and massively.
As the pandering continues and the promise that the money will be invested (after borrowing I may say) in the second half of the year and next year is bad policy. The money should have been shelter from the politicians and put under the reigns of our best business executives to make sure it all – I mean 100% – went into a massive and radical economic boost. But in DC it is another piggy bank to raid and now they want even more. We can all see the paw prints on the cookie jar and writing all over that wall.
You see the IQ in DC – especially the Economic IQ – is sub par. Economic savvy by career politicians and academics would be the last thing I would ever retain to run my business or manage money. Economic IQ to just borrow and spend is their only solution? And worse they want to do it again! What is wrong with these people – our representatives. I just can’t believe this happening. I really am sick to my stomach.
We must stop the borrowing and spending. The world needs a signal that we can get our fiscal crap together and fast. But the very people that have bankrupted our nation are all foxes in the White House and Congress eating away at us – the stupid chickens that let them in to begin with.
