Stimulated

Wooo Hooo!!! I sure feel stimulated now!

In the end, the spend crazy liberals ended up passing a stimulus package that is about 10% higher than the last package the Bush and the Republicans passed not 6 months ago. But the Dems are the crazy spendy ones. (I actually heard a republican use the line of logic: 2 wrongs don't make a right. He basically said: Sure, us republicans have been spending money like it is going out of style for the last 8 years, but that doesn't mean the Democrats can do the same!) (No reference. I was watching CSPAN and forgot to note who was talking at the time...)

I noticed one bit of spin used to soften expectations a bit. Its strange how adding just two words can really change the substance of a sentence. Mr. Obama: the plan will "save or create more than 3.5 million jobs". [ea] (bbc)
So. He's no longer telling us his plan will create new jobs. Now he's just saying that as long as 3.5 million people keep their jobs, he's done his. Sweet technicalities...

Spending $787 BILLION now to avoid the discomfort our children will experience when the bill comes due...

THIS is whyipaytaxes.
