More phony long-term "cuts", and short-term "stimulus" gimmicks that did nothing to help the economy the last time they were tried.

If Jeb Hensarling votes for more porkulus, he can forget to come home to Texas because in Rick’s immortal words, “We would treat him real ugly.” However, one wonders what the two MI congressmen on the committee will do. If Boehner screws this one up with these appointments, he should be toast.

Obama steals a few trillion more, of which a few billion more goes missing, and a few more millions end up shrinkwrapped in Wrangel’s freezer.

And the beat goes on.

The White House is looking for ways to boost the sluggish economy ...

How about a massive increase in the food stamp program. Today, just a mere 45,000,000 Americans are on it. Each $1 going to them, after the multiplier, yields $1.84 in GDP. Lets put all 350,000,000 Americans on it. While were at it, no need to stop there. Lets encourage all the youts and flash mobs to multiple and destroy, to increase replacement manufacturing and boost the cleanup industries.

The 200 year old Uncle Sam is in a Coma due to massive systemic bacterial infectons and Obama is precribing more viagra.....

What is needed is the infected tissue needs to be cut out and pump the system full of full spectrum anti-biotics.

Not more “sensual stimulus”.....

It’s easy!

Like the recent deal you simply cut $2 trillion over 10 years but spend $4 trillion immediately!

Shazam!
