“Stimulus” you can’t afford
The Foundry shows you in graphic form just how unaffordable the Generational Theft Act of 2009 really is:
Average spending for all family groups in the United States is similar to that of families with children. On average, families annually spend:
* $2,330 on apparel and services,
* $3,595 on health care,
* $4,322 on food at home, and
* $11,657 annually on shelter.If all families were asked to equally shoulder the burden of the $825 billion “stimulus” package, it would be like asking them to take on an amount of debt equivalent to what they spend on food, clothing, and health care — or most of what they spend on shelter — for an entire year.

That’s the CHANGE they want.
And it’s NOT change most Americans can believe in.
This is really an anti-stimulus package. Economic insanity, on the level of Hoover/Roosevelt. An item by item analysis, in summary:

What they are trying to achieve is
The November elections just put the Presidency and complete control of Congress in the hands of Socialists/Communists.
Every state secret of this country is now in the hands of people who are friendly with Communists and Jihadists.
Yuri Bezmenov, 1983:
Every post you’ve ever made.
The very fact that you hold the views you do means that you are either an idiot or a selfish $%$^. If you’re just an idiot, learn – we will teach you. If you’re not and just evil, then I am working to defeat you. The fact that you are miserable is a wonderful thing. I come here to be uplifted by your spite and misery, knowing that we are winning.
And, sport, go back and look at economic success levels under republican administrations vs. Democratic ones.
Ah, yes, violating the Constitution and stealing from the American people to only benefit the leeches of society must be so invigorating to you libs. So, you get a kick out of making those who oppose The One miserable really speaks volumes of your true character, now doesn’t it? What kind of human being gets off on reveling in political rhetoric at the expense of national economic health?
As to those economic success levels, where exactly is all that money that funds both social security and medicare/medicaid? Didn’t Clinton “borrow” some of that money to make his federal surplus happen? What happened to all that money that has gone into our “lovely” public school systm? Ah, I guess we really need sophisticated coffee machines in certain school districts, right?
Oh, sport… look in the mirror…. your face and irony are synonymous. Nah, Dems don’t pay off their political sub-groups like ACORN. Dems are the most ethical ever.
Here’s a thought…. when you start understanding that there really is no significant difference between the political parties and that the Dems are tearing down the economy with too much debt and overspending that was also encouraged by the Repubs then perhaps you’ll get a clue.
Have fun while it lasts. When China and the Gulf States start recouping the money they’re owed by us, we’ll no longer be a sovereign nation. Only slaves to the New World Order. Something it would appear you’re in favor of.
