The World According to Carl

From my personal experience and from every anecdotal evidence I have heard and read, no one has ever spent themselves into prosperity. So why do Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the other liberal Dem congresscritters think the federal goverment can spend the country into prosperity? If anyone spent like the government plans on spending per this stimulus bill (incidentally none of those who voted for it actually READ it) they would be in debt for life. So why should we expect any different result if the government does it? It didn’t work under FDR and it won’t work under BHO. This cockamamie scheme just goes against standard common sense. Furthermore, Obama stated clearly that the stimulus bill doesn’t have any earmarks but that turned out to be a lie because it’s LOADED with earmarks hence the nickname “PORKULUS.” The other major problem I have with it is that it was unecessarily hurried through with no committee hearings, no debate, no discussion and most importantly no careful scrutiny of its contents. I seem to recall advice being pounded into America’s conscience that one should ALWAYS read any contract carefully BEFORE signing any legal document. Although it’s arguable whether congress is populated with intelligent people, one would THINK that congresscritters would want to at least read through such a major bill affecting the country which has the potential of doing irreparable harm to the country. Well, the libs in congress who are all in the back pocket of the Pelosi/Obama machine all just took Obama’s word for it (remember folks, Obama assured us there were no earmarks {e.g. — pork} in this bill — but there’s a lot) and passed it because Obama frightened the libs and much of the gullible in the country into believing it was imperitive to pass it immediately without finding out what was in it and what it would do to the country. How freakin’ irresponsible! I see more long-term harm coming from this than help.
