And Now, Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Spending Orgy

"The time has come," President Barack Obama told us in his inaugural address, "to set aside childish things." He borrowed the line from Corinthians. With the Beltway bread-and-circus show over, President Obama will now get to work on borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from you, your children and your grandchildren for a doomed fiscal stimulus.

As President Obama basked in the inaugural glow, a dark cloud of reality moved in over the Democrats' $825 billion plan to rescue the economy. The Congressional Budget Office crunched the numbers and concluded that a huge bulk of the federal spending orgy wouldn't actually kick in until the recession is waning -- if not already over.

yeah that’s why Americans elected a tyro and Chuckles the VP instead of a former POW and a governor who actually had to make decisions and balance a budget.

Two most noticeable things were done in Zimbabwe. One was the inflation. The other was that domineering busybodies were commissioned to depose and evict their neighbors. But it’s not always a racial thing and has also been done between income classes and ideologies.

. It is time, as President Obama lectured us, to put away childish things -- starting with this epic fail.

They won't listen MM.

Hogs at the ever replenishing trough, that will eat till their demise.
