• “Stimulus Plan”

  I have not felt much like blogging lately with how busy and tired I have been and all that, but I just had to complain somewhere about how stupid Obama’s “Stimulus Plan” is.

  

  But first, I would like to say how much I can’t stand all the fuss over Obama.  The amount of hero worship over this man absolutely galls me.  He’s just a man, not a very good one or a very smart one, but even if he were, he does not deserve to be worshiped.  I never have understood sycophants very well, one has to be a special kind of pathetic to be a sycophant, but the Obama crowd is a step beyond being mere sycophants.  They are idolators, worhipping a politician who has done nothing more than vote for every tax hike and planned parenting legislation.  Ah but he’s also black, and that makes him a hero.  Yes, they really did lead a likeness of Obama into Des Moines Iowa on a donkey while waiving palm branches and all that.  I have been asked on multiple occasions whether or not Obama is the Anti-Christ, and I must say he does have some very essential Anti-Christ-like qualities.  Hordes people like him for no reason and without thinking, and people worship him.  The only characteristic he lacks that the anti-Christ must have, is that he’s a blithering dolt and it has always been my view that the Anti-Christ must be intelligent.  At any rate, the liberal media has certainly been far less than objective.  All those articles “Obama takes his first step into the whitehouse”(or whatever) remind me of an overly exhuberant young mother doting over her first child.  I suppose it is too late for them to write about Obama’s first dump in the whitehouse.

  Moving on, I came here to rant about how stupid his so called “stimulus plan” is.  First of all, if there was any lesson to be learned from the failures of the Bush administration, it should have been that too much government is a bad thing, and that we need less government not more.  So either the election was rigged, or not enough people learned the lesson.  Based on what I have read about the stimulus package so far, I have to conclude that either Obama is deliberately trying to destroy the country or he understands less about economics than my dog.  Most of the “tax-cuts” are not actually tax cuts, but checks given to people who don’t pay taxes.  How can you call something a tax-cut if people aren’t paying taxes in the first place?  Obama really has the LM in his pocket for sure for them to gussy it up that way.  But there is more to it than that, he’s also wants to pour more money into welfare and foodstamps, establish more beaurocracies, and increase the amount and duration of unemployment checks (more regulation of the private sector).  I fail to see how any of this will result in economic recovery.  Paying people for being out of work only makes it easier for them to stay out of work.  It will probably encourage people who are stuck in the cycle of poverty to have more children but it will certainly not end or reduce the unemployment rate.  The purpose of pumping more money into the economy is to stimulate spending, but whether it does any good or not depends on where the money goes.  Giving money to people who are irresponsible with money in the first place is probably only going to stimulate the booze and porn industries (for a little while longer) but only so long as it takes inflation to catch up with the increased spending.  If he were really serious about stimulating the economy, then he would work on reducing taxes to the people who have real spending power.  The government of India does not tax the country too much, and they have few social programs (other than programs aimed at reducing the birthrate).  The result is that the economic environment in India is highly conducive to new businesses and industries, and money goes a lot further over there than it does here.  Soaking the rich with tax hikes does not make for a stronger economy, it merely encourages them to invest their money in places where the government cannot get it, like overseas.  Aside from that, it also punishes people for hard work and having initiative.  This laughable “stimulus package” is at best a short sighted attempt to garner more votes for the Democratic party, including a 2nd term for the Moron in Chief.  But I think that it is also an attempt at social engineering, with the goal of creating a permanent underclass of people dependent on the government.  At any rate, I have written a song for all the Obama supporters that they can sing when they get together.  Now, this song is not entirely original mind you, but neither was the triumphal entry on the donkey.  Ready?  Here it goes:

  Obama loves me this I know, for the Media tells me so,
  all your money to him belongs, because you are weak but government is strong…
