There is really nothing that can be said to that action... if you have even an ounce of common sense!!
We have just passed a trillion-dollar Stimulus Bill in the House of Representatives that 'nobody' is sure will work and most people are doubtful or flat think it can't work and will bankrupt our children and grandchildren. Yet no Congressman or Senator has read it or understands it. The Bill grew overnight from an 800 plus page bill to almost an 1100 page bill and nobody knows what has been added in those 300 pages or what was removed. And the entire process in the House of Representatives was hurried along instead of slowed for consideration and review by the leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi, so she can go on her European Vacation and protect the pork, both added for herself and friends like Harry Reid. It should be noted that the Bill was passed in the House without a single Republican voting for it.
Everyday we find out more and more about how there is no record of how the first half of the TARP money, the previous bailout bill, that has already been dispersed was spent and how what is trackable of that TARP money was used to bail out banks that should have been allowed to fail. Not a penny of that money has trickled down to Main Street and the new partnerships have just given the National Government more and more power, putting us on the road to socialism. And if any of you think this is the right road, perhaps you should review the "state" of Great Britain after Tony Blair.
Now the Stimulus Bill, re-named by most as the 'Spending Bill', is in the Senate, where it is expected to pass with the votes of only three Republican Senators, whose motives and incentives are questionable. The Obama administration is supplying a special plane to a Democratic Senator dealing with personal problems in order to guarantee their desperately needed 60 votes, hardly a bipartisan bill or even an Obama or Democratic victory.
Last week Obama promised there would be no earmarks in the Spending Bill, now we hear there are many that will not create any new jobs, plus there are many many pet projects, like the Fantasyland Express, packed into this massive un-reviewed bill that has been repackaged several times, including behind doors by the light of last night's mid-night oil, leaving no time for a review. In this computer age bills are normally provided to the members of the House and Senate as a computer file that can be easily searched, but not this time. They got it at the last minute, old school... 1100 printed pages. Any flags there?? And is anyone yelling "waste of paper" "tree killers" or what happened to "go-green"? Certainly not your usual Dems!
The Republican Plan... both John McCain's and Mitt Romney's would cost half of this present bill and would create double the jobs... and much more quickly, yet the Democrats would only have it their way. If this Bill turns out to be the fiasco that it promises to be, it will destroy the United States as we know it. Even if it were a success, in three weeks after Obama's Inauguration, we have become a socialistic Country. And although there will be no joy is saying "I told you so..." the responsibility for the outcome of this mis-guided and hurried through plan will fall completely on the Democratic Party and President Obama.
Somewhere in the chanting and search for hope and change, we have lost our common sense, our values and our principles. Let us hope we don't lose all our rights before we come back to our senses.
