Remember, what comes out of the "stimulus bill" becomes the new baseline for spending

I doubt it’ll do any good but e-mail the three RINO nitwits below and tell them to vote NO! on the reparations bill today:

If I thought, as the oh so slow Joe Biden apparently does, that there was a 70% chance of the stimulus working, I’d be for it. Hell if I thought there was a 30% or even 10% chance of it working I’d be a whole lot less P O’d than I am this morning. Sadly I give the reparations bill about a .000009% chance of working. The only reason it’s not zero is that as an optimist, I know there’s always a chance. What evidence is there that congress can get anything - let alone a trillion dollar spending package – right?

If I thought there was a 10% chance that 10% of the money would be well spent, I’d be less P O’d this morning than I am. We’re about to spend the last $350 billion of a $700 billion bank bailout and got what for that money? We got no discernible change in the economy. $70+ billion just disappeared without a trace. Ooops, these things happen.

If I thought for a second that Demorats wouldn’t use the public money in this idiocy to payoff their special interest groups and for social engineering, I’d be a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. Bobby Reich and famous Democrat tax cheat Chuck Rangel have already said that congress needs to make sure white men don’t get in on the deal.

If I thought that there were 10 people who voted for this monstrosity that actually read the bill I’d be a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. Nobody has read the entire bill. Bits and pieces of the bill have been constructed by various wings of the Democrat party and then thrown together in 778 pages of idiocy that the Dear Leader says MUST be passed immediately.

If I didn’t think that we’ll be finding out all sorts of socialist BS hidden in this idiocy for months and months to come, I’d be a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. Bloomberg is reporting that the idiot bill being considered contains language for something called the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. Click the link. It’s stunning the reach of this newly minted agency. Socialized health care is in the stimulus! No wonder it has to be passed before anyone can read it.

If I thought there was one chance in 827 billion that any of the idiocy contained in this bill could be rolled back at a later date, I’d be a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. Like FDR’s Raw Deal, what comes out of this idiocy will be become the new baseline for entitlements for the next 100 years.

If I thought that this idiocy would be last irresponsible massive spending bill of the Dear Leader’s administration, I’d be a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. Idiots are going to have come up with spending for the banks to take care of the housing market which remains on its butt. Idiots are going to have come up with more money for the socialized healthcare we all supposedly want. FDR’s Ponzi Taj Mahal of cards called Social Security is about to collapse on itself. Idiots are going to have come up with the 10s of billions of dollars for the everyday idiocy that they engage in…well everyday

If I thought for one second that the jug eared Curious George look-a-like Dear Leader wasn’t a miserable lying sack of excrement last night when he claimed that there was no pork in the bill, I’d a whole lot less P O’d this morning than I am. This is a partial list of the projects contained in the bill that the Dear Leader must have over looked because…HE DIDN’T READ THE BILL EITHER.
