Listen Folks I don't know about you, but have you seen any shovels with folks attached working on stimulus. I havent seen any shovels, let alone steam shovels, cranes, scoops (Soylent Green), tractors etc. Either it's my ADD, I have lost my sight or I see nothing but folks losing jobs, higher taxes especially property taxes, foreclosures, folks moving out, businesses closing and beaurocrats running around talking about how their going to change things.
Well maybe I am the most cynical of bears but I just don't see it. All of the money spent and still to be spent. There's enough debt left for your kids, grandkids great grandkids, into the next generation that even my newly born neice won't be able to payoff. How is it that with all the money printed, borrowed and taxed stuff remains undone. Roads bridges and schools are in disrepair. All "We The People" ask for is a little fiscal responsibility. Why can't you run a government more efficiently? What happened to wisely-spending the money you have on stuff we actually need. This is what happens when government thinks they can take over businesses and run them. Congress can't run a hotdog stand let alone positively effect our Economy and I am not reffering to stock prices either. Have you seen Social Security and Medicare lately. Have you been to the DMV recently. Just think of the calamity of National Health Care.
Here's what I am talking about business pure and simple-where folks with a product or services trade or sell to other folks wanting or needing that product or service-where folks with imagination, inovation, skill and common sense create businesses, which create wealth, and jobs.
Am I asking to much that reason, frugality and wisdom prevail? Listen folks, when of all places, China, Sweden and France the bastions of Dictatorial-Capitalism, and Democratic-Socialism tell us we are heading into socialism and we are spending too much well then don't we think our Government Should maybe set down and listen a spell.
What Say You Folks Stimulus or Crappola?
