Stop the Comrade before he spends again!

The Comrade is on TV right now trying to convince We, the People that we desperately need to spend probably a couple trillion more dollars for infrastructure. But wait! Wasn't the last trillion-dollar stimulus for infrastructure? You'd think we could have paved every square inch of the USA by now, except for all those funds that are probably hopelessly stuck inside bureaucrats' and union bosses' and contractors' pockets..

Oh, and this program "will pay for itself." No doubt just like socialist medicine is paying for itself.

And it will provide jobs for people now -- and then in six months, they'll be back on the couch again, watching "The Price is Right" and collecting unemployment. Again. And the USA will be even deeper in debt. Again.

Oh, and there will be an electricity supergrid. I happen to be writing something like a horror novel right now that involves the concept of the supergrid. Not a good idea for several reasons, mainly because anyone who would build such a thing is a lunatic, and you don't want to give a lunatic centralized control of your electrical power supply.

And a 31-state high-speed railway. What is it? The politicians go to Europe and get to zip around the countryside on some kind of monorail -- or they watch the jolly peasants doing so from the windows of  chauffer-driven limos -- then they come back to the US and want to spend billions of dollars to build one here. As Mom would say, just because the Europeans went and jumped in the lake doesn't mean you have to. Tell you what -- When AmTrack fills up with cross-country railroad travelers, then A PRIVATE COMPANY might want to look into high-speed rail. Until then, probably just another boondoggle -- that is, a total waste of "someone else's money." I mean, is AmTrack making any money or just another drain on the treasury?

I don't know. I kinda felt sorry for the Comrade. Is this really the best thing he can come up in the way of solving the jobs issue? Does he really believe that American citizens at this point in time, and with something like $14 TRILLION dollars of public debt... Does the Comrade think the nation is ready to commit to this kind of b.s? After all, the USA just flushed over a trillion dollars down the toilet on the last stimulus + the "Omnibus Pork" bill that passed quickly afterwards. And $16 billion more trying to buy off the states. And I'm not even counting TARP.

As good old Ronald Reagan would say:  Are you better off now than you were two years ago?

In addition, we're about to get whomped with the highest tax increase in American history, thanks to the incompetence of Pazzo Pelosi. How is it that the Comrade objects to what would amount to a loss of $700 billion in revenues over 10 years -- which is what the dems say extending the tax cuts to everyone would cost -- yet he happily embraces a program that will surely destroy what's left of the Republic before his term is up?

Is the Comrade so blind and so misguided that he really, sincerely believes that this proposal will get anyone to vote for him and his cronies? Or maybe he's just looking for a way out. Out of office, that is.

I started out angry writing this. Now I'm just sad. What a frigging mess, and with the Comrade in the White House, it won't get any better. He doesn't know a damn thing about economics. He's never run a business or met a payroll. He has no idea at all what he's doing. Or if he does, he's just plainly evil.

We really, really, really need a Republican congress to stop the Comrade before he spends again.

Save the Republic.
