“Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told the New York Times [NYT] right after the election.

I am beginning to think that the "bounty" from the ship of state (stimulus package) is nothing more than stolen goods from the taxpayers and their children. Some states are refusing to take the conditional stolen money. It is a bunch of thugs boldly taking money from the hardworking taxpayers, rewarding those who do nothing, and then punishing the taxpayers with higher taxes. "Joe the Plumber" has become a slave.

Mortgage defaults are rising because the people can smell government aid on its way, just like the 2 million illegals in 1988 became 20 million illegal immigrants in 2008.
