Great News! More Economic Stimulus on the Way
**Written by Doug Powers
If you’re selling US economy stock short, now is the time to get aggressive:
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–President Barack Obama on Monday said his economic team is working to identify new measures to stimulate U.S. growth as part of a “full-scale attack” to strengthen the lackluster economy.
Obama, speaking in the White House Rose Garden, said his economic team is “hard at work in identifying additional measures that could make a difference in both promoting growth and hiring in the short term, and increasing our economy’s competitiveness in the long term.”
It’s right here in the metaphors chapter of Obamanomics 101: “If throwing an anvil to a drowning man doesn’t save him, throw him another one.”
The most unsettling thing about this story is discovering that Team Obama is going to stage a “full scale attack” on the economy, because that means what we’ve seen so far is only a half-assed effort.
Gird your coins.

Sounds to me like the tax hikes are coming.

I’m hoping and working for a huge change in the balance of power come November.
I’ve been stimulated to the point of being numb! No more for me please! Thank you very much.
Like Ron Paul says, open the vault, let’s see what’s in the vault!
Where’s my check? I’ve sent them my mailing address several times. I’ll be more than happy to take a check and stimulate the economy. I’m good at spending.
“let’s see what’s in the vault!”
Geraldo.
Stimulate — that means Big Government spends until the socialists run out of your money to give away.
Buy now, our Imam should just go out and smack some little white balls around. He sure isn’t having any good come from the spending. I stopped by the Walmart this AM, hadn’t been there for a while, asked the checkout clerk how she liked her Obama economy … the store was like a skating rink …
Useful idiots never learn.
I bet the vault is going to be just like the Al Capone one that Geraldo opened!
Excellent!!
A version of dangerous, evil idiots’ throwing even more gasoline onto a house fire that they started in the first place.
When I witness the total idiocy coming from the Obama administration, I think the best way to headline all of its activity is by stating ‘You can’t make this stuff up’.
“I’ve been stimulated to the point of being numb! No more for me please! Thank you very much.”
LOL!!
I feel the same way. I have developed chaffing as a result. Obama should spread some lubrication throughout the U.S. economy before the next round of stimulation to lessen the ‘dry rub’ effect.
Make no mistake…this is not mere idiocy.
This is dangerous, America-hating minions doing the bidding of dangerous, evil, America-hating string-pullers.
I’m stealing that.
And that too.
I need a JOB, not HANDOUTS!
I need a JOB, not HANDOUTS!
So if the empirical evidence shows that Keynesian economics doesn’t work as advertised, why do they keep doing it?
Here’s an idea: Resign!
Because that would mean they were wrong. They signed on to the Keynesian/Marxist style of economics and Liberals are never wrong.
Dems’ plan during good economic times:
Raise taxes, deficit spending.
Dems’ plan during bad economic times:
Raise taxes, deficit spending.
Makes perfect sense.

Just tweaked it a bit, Doug.
Does this mean the Bush tax cuts will expire??
Yeah, we got this house fire going so well let’s pour on a little more gasoline! We’ll be outta this problem in no time!
This sounds like the ad campaign from the Uranus Corporation.
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)–President Barack Obama on Monday said his economic team is working to identify new measures to
stimulateaccelerate U.S. government growth as part of a “full-scale attack” tostrengthenaccelerate their goal of destroying thelacklusterUS economy.That’s better. Truth in advertising.
All right! Tax cuts, spending cuts and reduced regulation here we come!
What?
Oh. nevermind.
awww TooMuchTime–one of my favorite movies!
spaceycakes, if you listen to the video in the link, you’ll hear the woman sing a verse and then go into a type of siren song as a background for the announcer.
About 15 years ago, I was driving home from work and heard a commercial on the radio where a woman started singing, and then went into a high pitch type of siren song as the announcer told us the virtues of the company. It was for ARCO. As soon as I heard the high pitch “aaaahhh” in the background and the announcer speaking, but saying nothing, I immediately screamed, “The Uranus Corporation lives!”

And in the runup to the 2012 election–when the socialist / marxist / statist party (aka “democrats”) realize that Comrade Obama (PBUH) is doomed to lose–they will bring in their secret plan for victory.

Get ready to see our most brilliant SOS evah–Hillary Clinton–as the DemocRAT who will save us as POTUS.

Then Bill Clinton will be the answer to a trivia question: Name the only man to serve as president and first lady.
The definition of insanity is………
Double down on stupid. Bet the house on failure.

My grandkids appreciate all the stimulus being spent on SEIU and the teachers union. It’s going to follow them to their grave, and if they could talk, they would tell the administration “GREAT JOB BROWNIE”.

Actually, in the case of Obama, there never WAS a thrill, as far as I was concerned. I just could never figure out what it was that caused Chris Matthews to get that “tingle up his leg”.
Go here, cheapseat, and read this blog post. You’ll like the fatal error dialog box and the TurboShare software.
