Expecting some money from the nation's capitol, are you? You know what they say about counting your chickens before they hatch? Bet on it--or better still, take a trip out to Las Vegas and throw some money around. You'd most likely be just as lucky if not more so.
This is what the stimulus bill contains:
We've looked it over, and even we can't quite believe it. There's $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years; $2 billion for child-care subsidies; $50 million for that great engine of job creation, the National Endowment for the Arts; $400 million for global-warming research and another $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects. There's even $650 million on top of the billions already doled out to pay for digital TV conversion coupons
Heaven help us!
The rest of the good news is here, if you can take it:

I am frightened about the consequences of spending $2 trillion more dollars with no improvement in the economy.
ReplyDeleteAt least Obama sent word to Pelosi to leave condoms out of the stimulation package. See “Stimulus mania” @ http://www.gulfeast.com/index.php/OAN_Political_Blog/P1/ if you doubt that.
ReplyDeleteThrough all of my years I had thought that condoms and stimulation sorta’ went together...or at least that was a safer path to tread. :-)
