Harsanyi: Can you smell what Obama is cooking?
Denver Post ^ | 08 sept 2010 | David Harsanyi

You may recall Barack Obama claiming that the original stimulus plan didn't need any more tax cuts or "piecemeal" measures. To suggest so was to engage in "politics as usual." And, trust me, you don't want to be caught going there.

And today? You know what, America — you look like you're ready for some piecemeal measures and a fake tax cut!

No doubt it came as a shock to many of you that weatherizing windows couldn't get a $14 trillion economy cooking again. But if an $800 billion infusion of government and union bailouts failed to spur any decent economic growth, then how is a new "piecemeal" $50 billion stimulus going to work out?

Media reports tell me this is more complex. The president has devised an exhilarating new plan that will not only "jump-start" job creation but also fund and rebuild the "crumbling" infrastructure of the United States in brand new ways.

The economy would be in better shape right now if Obama had done absolutely nothing - his bills have only made things worse.

Obama is doing just what he planned with the economy. His goals are in sight. Everyone will either be employed by the government; dependent on the government or a lamp shade.

If by crumbling infrastructure the bamster is referring to his campaign contributors, Acorn, unions and the left in general then yes, it will be quite the windfall.

I want him to keep proposing Jobs (Stimulus) Bills. More spending, more spending, more spending. The country is waking to the fact he wants to completely destroy our nation via bankruptcy. Only then can he implement his true agenda......Socialism. Not the American way. Too bad too many good but naive Americans didn’t see through him before November 2008.

If you want the snappy headline you’ve gotta get it right!

But, but, but, I heard them say that the SWAT team is coming to my neighborhood, to install all those wonderful windows, so that I could no longer breathe inside my own home.

Didn’t that fix everything that was wrong with America?
