Stop Thief!!! Hands off our money!

Sure you and I just pumped $850B of our hard earned tax dollars (or now T-Bonds) to finance this massive corporate welfare bill two weeks ago...

But that's not enough for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi... She wants more! (sung to Billy Idol tune...)

"That One" wants $150 Billion more on yet another "economic stimulus plan" This from Newsweek:

"(The) Detailed Plan Will Wait, Democrats have been talking for months about the need to move a second economic stimulus or recovery bill. On Sept. 26, shortly before adjourning, the House passed a $60.8 billion package (HR 7110) that contained funding for many of the items Democrats say they want in a new package. President Bush threatened to veto the bill and Senate Republicans objected to moving a similar bill (S 3604).

But with the economy at the top of voters' concerns, Democrats are looking to keep their proposals front and center. Earlier this month, Pelosi mentioned $150 billion as the potential size of a new stimulus bill, but House Democrats now say they want to hold hearings before making any decisions on the size and scope of such a measure.

When asked why hearings are needed since the priorities for a stimulus package have not changed greatly since Democrats began advocating them months ago, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md. said, "Just to make sure we have the right levels and the right focus in what will work best in helping the economy to recover."

Pelosi said House Democrats have been working closely with Obama, the Illinois senator, on what should be included in the legislation, arguing that he is hearing Americans' concerns while campaigning across the country."

So some recurring themes here and certainly signs of the economic doomsday machine that lurks in the form of a Democratic President and Democratic Majority in House and Senate. Clearly, Barry Obama and Nancy Pelosi haven't met a piece of pork they can't swallow and there have been some huge Boston Butts coming down from capital Hill lately...

But now another loosely crafted bill that will give the middle-class and down another $600 bucks to head over to Wal-Mart to buy more Chinese DVD players and top off the tank of their Saudi-fueled, Mexican-Built Minivans... Is this the way to economic stability in the USA? I think not, Citizens...

This one is simple, but the Folks who would sit on the hill are determined to steer us away from the simple economic solution to our country's restoration: 1) Restore credibility in the US Dollar vis-a-vis a paydown of national debt and budget overruns, and 2) wholesale cuts in Federal Government spending, which now exceeds tax revenues, and 3) Decrease in Income and Corporate Taxes...

I continue to be amazed that people of any income level can support a presidential candidate whose platform includes increased Federal spending, Increased taxation for Corporations and Individuals, and no real plan to cut Congressional Spending. Leave it to a Harvard Attorney to try and legislate his way out of this mess... In this picture Barry thinks of a plan to redistribute Federal Tax Dollars to his PAC friends in Acorn, Fannie and Freddie, et al... Sure he said he would take care of the little guy, but did the little guys all send in their $2300 to boost his candidacy to collect over 2.5X the amount McCain has collected? No that money came from a variety of corporate sources: I-Banks, Hedge Funds, Retail Banks, etc.

When I think of where we are now as a voting constituency, I think of the metaphor of being trapped in a burning building and having the choice of jumping off the top or making a break for it down the burning staircase... Jumping off the top = certain death and the stairway leaves severe burns but a chance for survival...

Obama is the leap off the top... Quick, requires little thought or effort, and almost has a certain fun, giddy feeling attached to it... Nonetheless you are dead... Game Over!

McCain, represents the singed escape possibility... Some tough times, some sacrifice, but the bolstering possibility of beating sure Death...

I weep for the future if this pseudo-intellectual takes office...

Best,

Mike
