A fairy tale comes to mind: "The Emperor's New Clothes" Everyone declares Obama brilliant for fear of seeming obtuse. No one can cite a single brilliant thought of any substance -- for platitudes and generalities do not qualify.

You don't need a genius to sign a bill he hasn't read, even if it is worth almost $1 trillion dollars of the yet to be born grandchildrens' money.

It's okay, my kids will already be paying for a war they would have known better than to start, so what's a little stimulus cherry on top, right?

It's the government. They're spending money when the economy is in the tank to try to help. Color me shocked.

OK, so let the Congress tell the truth then:

We have no idea if it will work at all.
We also know we can't ever pay it back since we didn't have any money to pay back the lesser sum we had before this year.
If we can't pay it back the dollar will fail.
To put together this bill we asked every idiot Democrat congressman what he or she wants, we didn't call it an earmark, but we just added it up and produced over a thousand pages no one read.
We got three idiot Republicans in the Senate to go along, so now we can call it bipartisan.
Oh, and even though all we did was add up everyone's pipe dream into one bill, we can feign moral superiority and our condescension toward the average American citizen is well justified.

That about sums it up. There are lots of things the government does that are questions marks at the start...we don't know if they'll work. War. Science programs. Anything. You name it. But we try because someone elected thinks it will work and thinks it's the best idea. That's sort of how these things work. You got me Iraq. I got you this bill.

We'll see how it plays out.

Obama really has his work cut out for himself as he tries to lift the country out of the 'Great Bush-Cheney Depression'........

everyone does realize that our govt doesn't make a dime, doesn't turn a profit, and is fully funded by us, the taxpayer-right? more, higher paying jobs are what pays govt, pays all their programs they push thru. and every time they add spending, where does the money come from to pay for it? us.
so, we have huge deficits that are driving down our dollar, and driving away investors-which has effects on growing our jobs here. so, what does our govt do to solve this problem? more spending, which creates a bigger deficit, whiche means less people wanting to invest in this country. after all, every time we borrow for our budget, someone is buying our bonds and such-we're asking countries to invest, while piling more mistakes on ones already made.
and now more spending passed after this 'stimulus' package he signed last tuesday...debt on top of the debt that's already made things difficult. tell me folks...if you want to have more money at the end of the month-do you get another credit card? ask for a raise? or do you cut your discretionary spending?
