Stimulus NOT Stimulating

Even though the Messiah can't bring himself to admit it, he was dead wrong on the economy and now it's starting to show.
Instead of admitting that they made a mistake the new spin out of the Obama Administration is "we didn't misread anything, we had incomplete information." That almost sounds like "I tried marijuana, but I didn't inhale." Sure Mr President, we believe you.
Apparently the Vice President is the only one in the Administration that has the guts to admit that they screwed up. He actually came out and said "everyone guessed wrong...we misread the economy." I'm sure Obama will have a "talk" with him when he gets back to The White House for that one.
However, the cracks in this house of cards are starting to show and the foundation is starting to tremble.
Unemployment is nearing 10%.
Jobs are continuing to be lost (about a half million a month)
The stock market is in neutral.
Foreclosures continue at record levels.
The residential housing market is dead and now the commercial real estate market is slumping as well.
So when exactly is the "stimulus" supposed to start working?
Apparently, it's not going to. By their own admission, the Obama Administration is now saying that the first stimulus was NOT ENOUGH. We need more they say. We need another stimulus.
Another stimulus? Why?
If it's not working then why would you try the same thing AGAIN? Not only that but WHO is going to lend us the money this time around? We can't pay for the last stimulus?
I know it might sound like an episode of the Twilight Zone folks but this is where we are in this country today.
In the meantime, Europe is embracing conservatism and cutting taxes.
Folks, I wish this was a joke. I really do. Some nightmare that we will all wake up from at some point. Unfortunately, it's far too real and the idiots that we have running our government don't have any idea what they are doing.
It's my belief that they are employing the "spaghetti" method in Congress these days. If they throw something up against the wall and it sticks, it's good!
While the Obama Administration and our Congress of Fools debates another stimulus and borrowing more money to mortgage our children's future, it would appear that the American People are finally starting to wake up.
In the Washington Post today: Barely half of Americans are now confident that President Obama's $787 billion stimulus measure will boost the economy, and the rapid rise in optimism about the state of the nation that followed the 2008 election has abated, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Overall, 52 percent now say the stimulus package has succeeded or will succeed in restoring the economy, compared with 59 percent two months ago. The falloff in confidence has been sharpest in the hard-hit Midwest, where fewer than half now see the government spending as succeeding.
The falloff since April cuts across partisan lines. Confidence in the package's effectiveness has dropped from 81 percent to 73 percent among Democrats and from 32 percent to 26 percent among Republicans. Among independents, it has dropped from 56 percent to 50 percent. What was once a clearly positive assessment of the program among independents (56 to 39 percent) is now an almost even split (50 to 47 percent).
There are other polls that have similar findings but since this is the one that the media often touts I thought I would use it as well.
With this kind of return on our investment from the stimulus bill, I'll bet you can't wait until they start "fixing" healthcare.
Signpost up ahead reads.....well you know.

It's payback time!

There is still time to stop it but since the House already passed the huge "Obama Bailout Bill" along party lines, I have no doubt that the Senate will do the same. It was inevitable really. I knew that once Obama got in he would make sure that the Dems were able to exact revenge upon the GOP for all of their past frustrations and he is off to a good start. This $800 billion mess is nothing more than payback to the special interests that helped to put Obama in The White House.

He made sure that the "Mexico City Policy" which authorizes the government to use tax payer dollars to provide "birth control" services on a global basis was the VERY FIRST thing he signed. This was payback to the Pro-Choice, NARAL and Pro-Abortion crowd that helped him to get elected.

Among the funds within this bill is millions that is going to be given to the NEA for "arts and cultural" education and events. Thank you NEA, Hollywood, Broadway, etc for helping me to get elected as President. Here is your payback.

The list goes on and on and on. This thing is nothing but a big, fat, porky, pig that Obama is using to payback his supporters so that he can ensure they will continue to support him. The really disturbing fact is that MOST, 80% of the funds allocated will not be available for use until after 2010!! So how exactly is this going to be a "stimulus" plan if we are in a recession now? It's NOT! That's the dirty little secret. What is does do though is allow the Dems and Obama to position themselves well for re-election in the future. About the time that the funds start to really have any effect, which I doubt they will do regardless, Obama and his buddies will be getting ready to run for another term.

See, the real secret is this: all of this is being done for one reason and one reason only: power! The Dems and Obama want to make sure they have it and can keep it long enough to enact some of their largest social programs. Once they can get the people to start depending on the government for say FREE healthcare and college tuition, the people will grow comfortable, complacent and DEPENDENT which will allow them to do anything.

This "stimulus" bill is a huge mistake that our children will be paying for for generations to come. After all, we are about to "give away" $800 billion that WE DON'T HAVE! But hey, they say, just print some more money! Who cares if the inflation rate is in the double digits for years to come? Just keep giving the people what they want and they will learn to depend on us!!! That way they will never want to be without our assistance again...ever.

Slavery comes in many forms. Some by force and some without. We The People are allowing Obama and the Dems to willing enslave us and most people don't recognize it. Once the shackles are tightened around our wrists and ankles those who hold the keys will have complete control.
