Word was leaking out about all the crap what is in this monstrosity and support was tanking. That’s why the rush. Couldn’t have the sheeple having a look at all the waste.
“President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, let slip a valuable clue when he said that a crisis should not go to waste, that a crisis is an opportunity to do things that you could not do otherwise.
Think about the utter cynicism of that. During a crisis, a panicked public will let you get away with things you couldn’t get away with otherwise.
A corollary of that is that you had better act quickly while the crisis is at hand, without Congressional hearings or public debates about what you are doing. Above all, you must act before the economy begins to recover on its own.”
BUMP
Thomas Sowell really calls it as it is in this article. The American voters have put themselves into thrall to a ‘Beyond the Looking Glass’ government based on Leftist delusions.
"Not even the most Alice-in-Wonderland actions will arouse the suspicions of those who have what William James once called "the will to believe."
Or the "Go Ask Alice" actions.
The Obamoron and the Dems may be baskiing in the afterglow of a huge sexual act on the American people, but I wonder how they will react by mid-late summer when most of America realizes that the economy is still in the tank and that Porkzilla hasn’t changed a thing.
Unemployed Americans will probably still be unemployed and their numbers will still be growing as more businesses are forced to cut back and lay off.
This isn’t over by a long shot. IMO, the Obamanites will turn a deaf ear when the Dems blame everything on the ‘Pubbies because they’ll look at the makeup of the Congress and the WH and see them filled with Democrats. The Obamoron over-promised and will under-deliver. The idiot class that believes that Obama will pay their mortgage, buy their gas and give them a government issued credit card worth $3,000 or $6,000 expect him to deliver and, when he doesn’t, it won’t be pretty.
The Faithful are pathetic, and unfortunately, too numerous.
It’s clear how people are such sheep when one looks at all the big cities (black-Dem) and how they keep putting in the same garbage - with the “D” behind it - for decades, and nothing has improved. They are “faithful”, and don’t seem to realize nothing has changed while they complain yet vote Dem.
Outrageous, despicable, incompetent action by the senate and congress to push this horrendous spending bill w/o even reading it and rushing it through so hastily. If this isn’t a pitchfork moment against the vermin in DC then what is?
bump for later - night all
Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
We remember FDR and know more about his failed policies today than economists, pols, and the people knew in the 1930s. We will NOT allow B.O. to repeat them (ditto for the lessons of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and every other marxist/socialist).
I won't try to describe what a Cargo Cult is, but follow the link for an explanation. What a hoot! Right up until you realize that it is a plausible explanation for the behavior of our government -- and governments the world over.
Markets did fail- if you mean that it failed to guarantee that businesses would make a profit regardless of the good or service they offer or the practices that they do.
three weeks later and more evidence accumulating that he ‘s as incompetent as predicted, no, more so.
