Face it, "stimulus" doesn't work -- no free lunch

Well, the Comrade is apparently totally out of ideas.

What is it? Almost three years ago now, I wrote in this blog that if the $787 BILLION (that's almost a TRILLION) followed by an $410 BILLION Omnibus bill (that makes it MORE THAN A TRILLION) went through, there would be jobs for a short while -- as long as the money lasted -- and then we'd be stuck with nothing but debt. No recovery.

The Comrade and idiots like Paul Krugman said, No, the stimulus is going to resuscitate the economy and will bring a new day of economic paradise.

What actually happened here?

As the Comrade gears up for his big speech Thursday night, having secured the permission of congress to use congress as a classy background and a prop, word leaks about what he's going to propose. Not surprisingly, he's going to propose another stimulus.

God save us all from this ignoramus. Clearly, anyone who wants another stimulus is trying their damedest to destroy the nation. How much evidence do you need? Look at what the last stimulus did.

Are you better off now than you were three years ago?

Told a story once how under Nixon's stupid policies of price freezes, when the freeze came off, the price of bacon went from 89 cents a pound to $1.89. Last time I was at the store looking at bacon, it was $6.99 a pound.

Is that a good thing? Can anyone but a government employee survive with this shit? It's called "quantitative easing." Otherwise known as "fire up the printing presses and create a bunch of currency that's worth absolutely nothing." Like Germany between the wars.

How many times does the human race have to conduct these kinds of failed and destructive policies before it figures out they do more harm than good? Reality won't let us operate that way. All these policies do is consume and trash the resources of the nation and of individuals -- 'cause ultimately we have to pay for it all. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Carter had the double whammy of inflation and unemployment. The Comrade has inflation, unemployment, and a monstrous debt that he created and from which we may never recover.

The Comrade is presenting his proposal as the one and only solution. And he's dead serious, because he's demonstrated he knows nothing about capitalist economics, having been schooled in marxist fantasyland stuff. So more debt and failure being the only solution he offers, a wiser and better educated congress will likely refuse it. We can only hope.

Then the Comrade can campaign, "See, congress is standing in the way again."

Meanwhile Brain-dead Harry Reid (D-for-dumb Nevada), will not allow any serious and useful economic proposals to be heard on the floor of the Senate. So exactly who is blocking progress?

And the Comrade says the Republicans are blocking movement for political reasons. Actually, if Congress passes this bullshit, they'd be acting with such an abandonment of all principle and concern for the USA, they'd come close to equaling the hatred and contempt the Comrade has for this nation.

THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE NOTHING YET THAT ISN'T PURELY AND ENTIRELY POLITICAL. HE'S DEMONSTRATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE USA, AS LONG HE BULLIES THROUGH HIS COMMUNIST POLICIES. HE'S SOME KIND OF TOOL, NO DOUBT FOR THAT GREAT HEGELIAN PENDUMLUM HE BELIEVES IN. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS. HE KNOWS NOTHING ELSE AND IS NOT EQUIPPED TO RECOGNIZE OR DEAL WITH REALITY, EVEN WHEN IT JUMPS UP AND BITES HIM IN THE ASS.

These policies don't work, Comrade. And hopefully, you won't be working for too much longer either.

Save the Republic.
