You know that motor that just won’t run because the carb is all gummed up?
You know how you can get it to run for a little bit by spraying starting fluid in the horn?
And you can keep it running by spritzing some more in it as it starts to die?
Well, the can has run out.
That’s probably the best analogy of the year.
I’ve watched hours and hours of the business channel over the past four years. They’ve all commented that this experiment of the Fed....for a short period...probably was wise. But the idea of it being a full eight-year policy to limp the Obama administration up to the end....just is plain stupid. We’ve burned a huge number of bridges and there’s nothing to show for it.
Meanwhile, the forty-odd things that could have been done to prime the US economy and just let it run on it’s own? None of those forty things have been allowed. I think if you could corner the president and ask him six simple economic questions...he’d demonstrate that he knows almost nothing and is just a lap-dog for someone’s policy....just not his.
“Spraying starting fluid in the horn”
Good laugh to start my day.
After five years people are finally starting to understand you can’t fill a pool by dipping water out of the deep end and pouring it in the shallow end.
Did that a few times in my youth
