Happy Birthday, Dear Stimulus

Happy Birthday, Dear Stimulus. Remembering the day when 780 billion bucks got together and, at the behest of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other DC “smart people”, decided to jump down a rathole. Pay tribute to their “accomplishment” by buying an overpriced cake and throwing it in the garbage.

  • The stimulus worked very well for many needy Americans, Conservatwerps.
    For instance, as government employee, I needy a new Lexus to undertake the important work of government.
    I needy a new house.
    I needy a new computer.
    I needy a new iPhone.
    So, the only failing with the stimulus was that it wasn't enough.
    More stimulus!!!
    (That's what she said.)

    • And thank you for pointing out to the rest of us, with such aplomb and such froufrou, that which is so patently obvious to the very least of us!

  • Only 780 billion? That's nothing, at least the government didn't give away any free cellphones, God knows there would have been an uproar then.

        • I don't believe in giving any entity a bailout. Period. If they cannot survive in the marketplace, they deserve to fail. I also don't believe in government giving anything to anyone. SS is (was) an insurance plan. Put it back to that, payout to only those who have paid in for the required 40 quarters and then only as regards the amount paid in. I paid in for over 30 years before becoming disabled and I receive less than the Bosnian immigrant next door who paid in nothing. There is something severely f*cked up about that! There is so much Marxist infiltration of our government and government regulated schools and higher education institutions, all hell-bent on the imposition of a Marxist state.

        • Trollin, trollin, trollin, john just keeps on trollin, troll on.

          With all kinds of blather, in any kind of weather, john just keeps trollin on and on....

          Sung to the rawhide theme...

  • I'll bet if you were devious enough to throw together a bogus solar-power company you wouldn't be calling it a rat hole!
