Field Marshal Dope

Ya know, I was just thinking, again. The stimulus package from Capitol Hill promises us Americans that its implementation will resusitate the economy and thrust us back into that happy happy place we all yearn for. The construction of a rail-line from Disneyland in Anaheim, Ca to Las Vegas, NV will somehow magically transform not only Californias economy, but the nations as well. But that’s not all, spending $650.000,000 on analog to digital conversion boxes will miraculously spring us into financial nirvana.

Must I go on? I could list all the bacon-fat included in Omnibus, but I’d just end up really pissed, become a trucker and kill a prostitute or something. I’m just kidding, truckers are our nations hardest workers, even when they’re high on meth…kidding again, seriously.

So it’s like this, trying to convince our “Dear Leader” and his “Merry Band of Miscreants” that in order to stimulate the economy one must really look at cutting taxes, is apparently a pretty hard sell. I’m not just talking your taxes and my taxes, but business too; large and small alike. If you look at the statistics, it’s the BLOODY PUBLIC that spends the money at Walmart and Old Navy etc. It’s also those companies that PROVIDE JOBS TO THOSE THAT BUY THEIR CRAP!

Now how hard is that to understand? Is this stimulus package just a way of insuring some of these raving lunatics get re-elected? It’s perplexing, not to mention constipating.

But hey, at least those who are safeguarding our freedom received a pay raise, 2.9% as required by law…no more, no less. Of course, just the week before they approved an 18% increase in pay for Foreign Service Officers, I wonder how many of those dodge IED’s and 7.62mm love bites?

Injecting us and the economy with pig-fat that provides no growth at all,  is like “Tending A Tibetan Beefgarden”, it makes no sense.

And there it goes….
