Stimulating The Stimulus

According to Joe Biden and Barack Obama, their stimulus plan "now" needs some serious stimulating (See Full Story). Obama calls it politely: "ramping up" the stimulus activity. Maybe somebody should tell Mr. Obama that, in the cold weather areas, the construction season is almost half over! Big projects in the northern parts of America can't be started because there's not enough time left in the construction season to start and finish them. But, how would some "constitutional lawyer", now President, even understand or know that?

Does anyone remember how important it was to "immediately" pass this $787 billion stimulus pig? No one could waste any time to actually read the damn thing! Now, with almost 4 months past the passage of this Obama plan, only 4 percent of the moneys have flowed into the economy and the economy is still wallowing in higher and higher unemployment, lack of credit and purchasing power, and increasing foreclosures. Most of that money went to cover spending for police, fire, and teachers and to bolster welfare programs like unemployment insurance. Hardly, anything has been actually spent to create any jobs or really stimulate this economy. If you recall, Obama told us that we must pass the stimulus plan "or" we will see unemployment rates above 8%. Well, with the current unemployment rate at 9.4%, I'd say that "big lie" is in their court.

That same kind of urgency and false promises are on the lips of Obama when he is "now" urging the immediate passage of the currently "unplanned" health care reform. This is just crazy! There are now three or four plans floating around and he is urging their immediate passage. This is as nonsensical as his stimulus. It as if Obama is saying: "just pass any plan; even if it's a bad one." Maybe, based on the absolutely shoddy performance of his stimulus package, we should back off for a change, and intelligently think the health care issue through before spending nearly another trillion dollars. Does anyone get the impression that this President's goal is to just spend money so this country completely collapses in it's own debt and has to be totally rebuilt as some kind of socialist (non-capitalist) country? I think, maybe, that's the real plan. If you don't think so, take a good, hard look at the people and organizations (like ACORN) that Obama aligned himself with before getting into office.
