GOODBYE, AMERICA! IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED
February 11, 2009
It's bad enough when illiterate jurors issue damages awards in the billions of dollars because they don't grasp the difference between a million and a billion. Now it turns out the Democrats don't know the difference between a million and a trillion.
Why not make the "stimulus bill" a kazillion dollars?
All Americans who work for a living, or who plan to work for a living sometime in the next century, are about to be stuck with a trillion-dollar bill to fund yet more oppressive government bureaucracies. Or as I call it, a trillion dollars and change.
The stimulus bill isn't as bad as we had expected -- it's much worse. Instead of merely creating useless, make-work jobs digging ditches -- or "shovel-ready," in the Democrats' felicitous phrase -- the "stimulus" bill will create an endless army of government bureaucrats aggressively intervening in our lives. Instead of digging ditches, American taxpayers will be digging our own graves.
There are hundreds of examples in the 800-page "stimulus" bill, but here are just two.
First, the welfare bureaucrats are coming back.
For half a century, the welfare establishment had the bright idea to pay women to have children out of wedlock. Following the iron laws of economics -- subsidize something, you get more of it; tax it, you get less of it -- the number of children being born out of wedlock skyrocketed.
The 1996 Welfare Reform bill marked the first time any government entitlement had ever been rolled back. Despite liberal howling and foot-stomping, not subsidizing illegitimacy led, like night into day, to less illegitimacy.
Welfare recipients got jobs, as the hard-core unemployables were coaxed away from their TV sets and into the workforce. For the first time in decades, the ever-increasing illegitimacy rate stopped spiraling upward.
As proof that that welfare reform was a smashing success, a few years later, Bill Clinton started claiming full credit for the bill.
Well, that's over. The stimulus bill goes a long way toward repealing the work requirement of the 1996 Republican Welfare Reform bill and rewards states that increase their welfare caseloads by paying unwed mothers to sit home doing nothing.

Between the secretive socialists, the bumbling bureaucrats, the repugnant rinos and the militant mohammedans it might be GOODBYE AMERICA.
A song to send us on our way...

Giggling...Ron Dog doesn’t look banned.
If we replaced all elected officials tomorrow with moribund alcoholics, they clearly couldn’t do much worse, and might do better.
Forget about ever rolling back this time. This is just one of the vote buying that the Communists are putting in place. Buying vote removes the socialists label and combined with health plans, places them as Communists because they will never be removed form power. And the slaves of this Government will tax us to death to pay for this coup.
We even get to pay for the shovels. Made by union labor, of course.
RonDog who?

Hello Brad’s Gramma.
Hello, Cindy....I hope your day is going well!
How much per word?
I expected the socialists to do what they’re doing.
What is shocking is that Americans aren’t doing anything about it.
You would think it’s just another day in America.
We should be rioting in the streets!
Is that OK to say, or will I now be visited by the gov’t goons?
WE SHOULD BE MAKING HAVOC IN THE STREETS!
They are making sure our children will be slaves to their agenda.
THE FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD BE RIOTING NOW.
THOMAS JEFFERSON WOULD BE CALLING FOR BLOOD!
What the heck is wrong with Americans?
Dunno, but if anyone has access to the pdf document, if it comes out, can look at the properties of the file and get the total count....easy math...point is that the chickenshits will not allow the entire negotiated bill to be widely published...somebody gonna have to work to get it....
Same to you Brad’s Gramma.
It’s ok.
A little sun today.
“Instead of your treatment being determined by your doctor, it will be settled on by some narcoleptic half-wit in Washington who couldn't get a job in the private sector. “
They’re lazy sheep.
It struck me today when I heard the number of pages in this new bill. Over 8 hundred pages. Nice how that worked out isn’t it? Let’s see 8 hundred pages, 800 Billion Dollars - hmmmmmm, a BILLION DOLLARS A PAGE!”
Pelosi handed the bill out in the House and demanded that they vote on it in a matter of hours!!!
NO ONE had any chance to read this bill.
Where is there a website that gives us the highlights???
Please private message me if you have one. Thx.
Don’t have one yet, but I’d hazard to guess they are going to keep a tight rein on this one now that it will pass formally. I’d expect that it will be hard to come by in fully readable form......
The essay had some great points and as usual some great zingers, but over all the tone was a bit sore loser-ish. I was going to post it on my facebook page but I decided my commie "friends" might be able to mock the tone so I decided not to post it.
Speaking of facebook, I have been on there for about a month now and I encourage everyone to open an account. It is very easy to post all sorts of links so you can get conservative ideas in the social network. I love Freerepublic but we are preaching to the choir here. I really think we need to pollinate folks who don't pay attention to politics.
LOL. A keeper.
