Shrieking at the Mirror
This angry huff of pixels isn't a commentary about the economy or a scolding of Americans as much as it is a plea for faith in a dying religion.
And I'm just real sure they will tell us where all those jobs promised are.
With the use of all that money to boondoggle, bribe, punish enemies and reward friends, I'm convinced this administration and their lackeys believe in "trickle-down" economics - anything that happens to fall off the plate served to the rich by the donkeys is fair game for the rest of us, but nearly everything in all the bills is intended for the administration's rich friends to begin with.

The 288 Billion in so called tax relief amounts to only about $20 per month per employee and if you are fortuante enough to be in a 2 income household, your going to have pay back at least one person's relief.

Posted by: gDavid at January 25, 2010 04:21 PMThe refunds were structured so they did the least amount of economic good. Better to have made the Bush tax cuts permanent and add to them.
As for the government union funding (oops), kicking that can of useless slop down the road did a lot of good, didn't it? It isn't the firehouses that are breaking the bank. And a lot of teachers SHOULD be fired. It also is all of the extra intrusive and micromanaging government that needs to be fired.
