Duh. It’s called the Broken Window Fallacy.
“I don’t care if it does cause these problems, because its ideologically correct thing to do.”...King Zero has spoken.
This entire 3 weeks of 100% Dim control of Washington is turning into the 25 hour per day fiasco we knew it would.
Dude, what are you worried about?
I am certain that Senate Republicans will eventually see the wisdom of a shrunken economy, and vote in favor of the stimulus bill (maybe with a “tweak” or two, but making sure to leave the funding for ACORN intact). It will all be done in the spirit of bipartisanship, and it will show to one and all how the Republicans have “grown in office”. Plus, a dead economy will help us meet The One’s greenhouse gas reduction targets earlier than promised.
Laudatory headlines from the NY Times/Washington Post AND a ready-made solution to global warming? Hey, what’s not to like?
100% of all bills and laws passed by all levels of government are harmful over the long haul. Obviously. All new laws are to “fix” problems caused by the previous laws.
Who cares if it stinks. We need something NOW. Thus saith Obama
I tell you they are geniuses in Washington, blithering, slobbering on their shirt geniuses.
And Geither, someone quick tell me why Obama shouldn't ask that genius to resign, effective immediately.
You hire a street walker with the wafer thin resume, what did you think you would get? The seasoned executive leader or the minstrel man? Don't complain to me when the minstrel man shows up with his hat and cane.
M.O.C.

The “Financial Leaders” of Our Time?
But 500 Billion Americans are losing their jobs every day..
Correction. Every month..
Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still. —Calvin Coolidge
We need to tie the stimulus with Social Security. As in, if this stimulus passes, you can forget about it.
We need more of the Office Desk and less of the Show Window in politics. Let men in office substitute the midnight oil for the limelight. — President Calvin Coolidge
It’ll be fun to hear him say the CBO doesn’t know what it’s talking about, as I seem to recall him using it as backup for his positions on the campaign trail. But I’m sure he has a good excuse, or the MSM will cook one up for him.
We Are Screwed
I guess there will be some federal layoffs. At least in certain departments.
But the Messiah knows better!!! Can’t you tell from the way the sun glints off his pectorals??? He’s Hollywood!! He’s Salvation!!
