Stimulus

The word out of Washington and Chicago is “Stimulus.” We must print more money and spend more on stimulus! Where will the country go if we don’t stimulate the economy right now? Budgets don’t matter…the only thing that matters, “Stimulation!” Bush wants it but doesn’t want to go far enough to do much about it. Obama wants it, and wants so much of it that it will increase the national debt with speed that far exceeds his accusations of Bush’s “Failed Policies.” 500 Billion…and this may only be start. My favorite line so far out of the Obama camp has been, we need to invest in roads and bridges and clean jobs.

Last time I checked, we had a major interstate system along with roads that would take you just about anywhere you need to go in this country. Bridges need some repair, but I don’t see that creating 2.5 million jobs. As a matter of fact, all through the campaign, he told us that he would create 2.5 million NEW jobs. Now we are hearing just 2.5 million jobs. They are banking on people also coming back off of layoff. And what exactly is a “Clean” job? Does this mean that bulldozers and earth movers will clear the way for wind mills and solar technology? Sounds like there will be a lot of dirty jobs before we create the clean ones. I’m all for clean technology, don’t get me wrong, but it does sound a little hypocritical. How many people will it take to maintain a wind farm or solar farm? Once constructed and spinning, how many people will work at that windmill? Will that windmill provide enough work to keep people busy and even provide for their retirement? Sure, clean technology will bring with it jobs….but once constructed, will it sustain millions of jobs??? My thought process could be wrong and frankly, I hope I am. In the mean time, let’s not bad mouth all those current, “unclean” jobs. If it’s a job and it pays, I think that’s a great thing no matter what it is right now.

Back to this “Stimulus” concept…Just like the anointed one himself said all through his campaign, this economic problem needs to be solved from the bottom up. Yet, he wants to solve it from the Government down. Face it, we are all humans. We are capable of self stimulation. Hell, I’ll be the majority of citizens have been stimulating themselves and their loved ones for years regardless of economic conditions. What the government needs to do is allow more freedom of self stimulation. Take away some of those protections they hold us back from major stimulation, remove the gloves that reduce the thrill of success and enable us to enjoy an era of explosive stimulation.

Lower taxes for everybody and cut the fucking spending! Balance a budget so debt doesn’t shoot to the moon! What did you think I was talking about?

Well, it just goes to show you, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid know nothing about real “Stimulation”

SIRI .15 hey….it’s up a cent!

As for your request to Obama supporters...
"Can an Obama supporter site any time in history where policy of his nature was successful? Can the Obama supporters use logic and common sense to come to a conclusion that his plans for taxes are going to be an overwhelming success...worth of their cost?"
Not a single one stepped up to the plate to respond.
What's your take on that?

Just because it has not been successfully done in the past... does not mean that it is not possible. If anyone is capable of success, it is B.O. It is time for you to get behind, and support your new president.

Or, I guess you can still wish that we had elected a man who planned to continue the policies that have put us where we are today...

Together. Yes We Can.
