Interesting that a President who just said he doesn’t understand Economics is given space in the Washington Post to give his self-described IGNORANT OPINION about the bill.
A real President would have had one of his professional economic advisors write the op-ed.
And the number one thing no President of the United States of America should EVER say.....EVER!
“Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.”
This is what I sent to Senate and House Republican Leadership and my CongressCritters:
I have a huge problem, sir. The Current President ‘warned that the financial crisis will turn into “a catastrophe” if the [Stimulus] bill isn’t passed quickly.’ WHY? What’s his reasoning? What “catastrophe?” It needs to be elucidated so that Congress and the Voters know exactly what he’s talking about. I disagree with his statement.
I don’t think The Current President even knows what he’s suggesting. There won’t be a “financial catastrophe” if Congress slows down and studies each line of the so called, Stimulus Bill. The Bill by any other name is a huge Porkulus Bill. And I hear that some Republicans have tried to get their Pork added to the original Bill. And I hear that Sen Bi-Partisan McCain has been recruited by The Current President to try to “twist a few Republican arms” to go along with this hurried-up Bill.
You are old enough to know that there is a reason behind every “hurry up and do this” Legislation. And that reason usually benefits the author of the Bill or the person demanding that everyone else “hurry up.” Let’s look at this more closely. Who benefits from the “hurry up?” Why is there so much Pork in this Stimulus Bill. It goes way beyond most Pork-filled Bills. AND because the Pork is so predominant and noticeable, I contend that the Pork has been included in an effort to disguise the real purpose of the Bill.
Look a little deeper into this Bill. Read it all. Read every line. Cross out the Pork and then look at what’s left. Who benefits the most? Is there lobbying involved and will they benefit from the Bill? There’s something going on here that makes me very suspicious. I hope my letter has helped make you suspicious of the motives behind this “Stimulus Bill” too.
