Follow the moneySmells too much like pork to be a
stimulus package
Oh yes, desperate crisis. Must pass bailout NOW
to save American jobs.
You know the refrain. You hear it all the time. Except, that isn't what's happening, is it? The Wall Street Journal estimated that only about 12% of in the House plan can be called stimulus. US News and World Report was slightly more generous in their description, they put it at less than 25% stimulus. That's an awful lot of cash that's not going to stimulus, wouldn't you say? But it gets better. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the stimulus hurts the economy in the long run, and most of it doesn't kick in until 2010 and 2011. So what's the rush? It's certainly not to save jobs or houses or anything that the President is promising in his speeches as he stands in front of several American flags. It's not a stimulus, it's a spending bill. It's social engineering. It's introducing the American form of feudalism. See who gets the money. See what becomes part of the budget next year. No wonder everyone wants a piece of it, it's cash flow without risk. Until the government collapses. One thing that Obama has proved so far. You can't believe what he says when it comes to government spending. Don't listen to what he says. Follow the cash. See who benefits. Then ask yourself if you feel like risking your liberty. The free market rebellion is coming, folks. And the Washington elite is not a part of it. Posted: Wed - February 11, 2009 at 02:55 PM
