The problem with the Barak Stimulus Plan

Okay, now I'm gonna start with the “Festivus Airing of Grievances”, albeit a little late. Sorry, I was busy celebrating Jesus’ birth.

The Barack Stimulus bill. The B.S. bill. I’ll say.

I’m not going to go into a lengthy detailed explanation of Keynesian economics. This is the “double-secret Cliff’s notes version (brought to you by the Delta Tau Chi class of ’62).

Long story short, this bill is supposed to make the economy rebound. The fastest way to grow the economy is to create and fulfill demand for domestic output. In other words; make crap and sell it!

All this bill will do is pump more money into the hands of special interest groups and pet social projects that will end up crippling our economy. How will this cripple us?

Google/Wiki the following items:
Fiat money
Hyper-Inflation
Currency devaluation

When our treasury tries to print a lot of devalued “Benjamins” to repay these loans, it will kill the dollar. The dead dollar will be cast out as the world’s reserve currency. Our country will die.

Since this is only constructive criticism if I offer advice…

…How about this:

Cancel all of the stupid bailouts and the “BS plan” and take the money, ALL 2.189 TRILLION dollars in debt we’ve racked up over the last 8 months and split it up.

Every US household will get a check for $20,000.00. Now let them spend it however they need to. All of that money will go right back into our economy creating demand for goods we create.

Create a significant tax exemption for any company that has its number of full time employees increase quarterly. Lower the minimum wage to $5.00.

Suspend all Federal income, sales, and capital gains taxes for 9 months. The States can do as they wish.

Grant tax-free status for 24 months to any company that cancels it’s outsourced and foreign labor contracts and reopens its domestic facilities. Manufacturing companies would get gigantic, permanent tax breaks.

That should do it. If Congress wanted to implement a flat/fair tax…that’d be fine too.

See what happens when you elect a lawyer? Should've elected Mitt!

Welcome to another waste of ones and zeros!

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. I'm opinionated, computer literate, and baseball season is over (gorays) . There is actually one good reason for blogging.

It makes the voices go away for a while. It’s a lot like when you get that stupid song stuck in your head after the guy next to you at the stop light was impressing everyone with his quadraphonic Blaupunkt.

Now you’re at work and every time your boss says “Show me how you do it.” You think “…Go-head; put ya back in-to it. Do ya thing like dey ain’t nutin to it…”

You just have to sing it and get it stuck in someone else’s head. Then you are free!

Kinda the same effect here. Since I can’t sleep because my trigger finger is itching, I’ll tell you why and let yours itch for a while. Then I can sleep.

I’m not going to begin airing my grievances tonight. I’m way too tired. I will try to keep my posts under 350 words, which sounds wordy but I assure you is extremely brief. Those of you who know me will agree.

Lastly, I hope that you’ll find in my words some reassurances:

You are not alone.

Someone else does feel exactly the same way you do.

You are understood.

Yes, someone out there has the gonads to say (type) that which you are thinking.

Yes, Reese’s cups were the manna from Heaven that sustained the Jews during the exodus.

So, come back soon. I’ll post every Thursday as it is a slow news day and after The Office, what else is there to watch.

See you soon.

P.S. If you've heard that song before, you'll be singing/humming/whistling it in less than two hours. Ah, the power!
