The Stimulus Bill: Eight Years of Waste

After decades of watching their extravagant, far-Left programs languish in never-never land, Democrats are now realizing their once-forlorn hopes for a return to the good old days. Massive giveaways for their pet socialist schemes – and payoffs to labor unions and other financial supporters – will now be the order of the day.

This time they are outdoing their New Deal, Fair Deal, Great Society overspending extravaganzas, cobbling together an $825 billion package they laughingly call a stimulus program, allegedly designed to put unemployed Americans back to work and get the economy back on track.

My question is if when Obama sees all of the gaudy stuff in the bill, will he rear up on his hind legs and veto the thing? If he doesn’t, he will be acknowledging that the real power lies in the hands of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, a couple of whackos, and for the next four years he’ll be doing their bidding.

Amusing commentary. Of course he won't veto the bill. And, of course, he and Pelosi and Reid are of the same mind. They are all doing the same "bidding."

Why don't we call the stimulas package what it is? How about "The Rotten Deal"?

The Stick-It-To-The-Taxpayerlus Bill—fraud, waste & abuse especially since the monies won’t be distributed to two years just in time for mid-term elections.

And this is exactly what republicans should be shouting from the roof tops, at full voice. Naturally we shall receive only silence and the predictable pat on the back from Juan McCain.

Exactly!
