Quick! Give me all of your money - I'll explain later

Haste makes waste – or so we’ve been told since we were old enough to wipe our own butts. Seems the only time haste doesn’t make waste is when Democrats want 900 billion dollars of YOUR money. When that’s the case, hell we gotta do it now the entire solar system depends on giving Democrats control of that money before Washington’s Birthday – now known to public school slackers as President’s Day.

In any crisis - or perceived crisis - the first option is to do nothing. In the book The Red and the Black set in 16th or 17th century France (Required reading for some college class) I recall one part that makes the point. A woman is walking and talking with a man in a courtyard. A wall surrounds the yard. While the wall only rises a few feet on the courtyard side, it falls steeply away on the opposite side.

As the man and woman continue to walk, the woman notices her young son walking atop the wall, arms out stretched for balance. The woman is aghast with fear for her son’s safety. Her first instinct is to shout out at the young boy. Her mind does one of those lightening quick calculations and concludes that a sudden shout might startle the boy causing the very outcome she hopes to avoid. So she does nothing. She doesn’t even break stride, another move she calculates might distract the young boy. She waits until the boy successfully concludes his jaunt then points out the danger of the activity just completed.

Let’s face it, the likelihood of the collection of preening (g)assbags called congress doing nothing when they have an opportunity to generate a crisis and print worthless money to dole out to their campaign supporters in the guise of solving or mitigating the crisis they have generated is exactly nil.

So the next rule ought to be the golden rule of medicine – first do no harm. Dumping 900 billion dollars into the economy without regard for fraud, waste, abuse and hyper inflation seems a bit rash to guy who doesn’t much about the economy except keeping his own checkbook balanced.

Why the rush for 900 billion most of which cannot be allocated until 2010? The bill is over 600 pages of entitlements that not one representative, senator or the Dear Leader have even bothered to read. There have been no committee meetings or a single hearing on what’s in the bill. Why? Why not a 200 billion dollar package of IMMEDIATE carefully considered stimulus? If another 200 billion is needed later, it could be prepared and carefully considered while the first 200 billion is being spent.

What the (g)assbags in congress are doing with this insane 900 billion dollar Democrat Party payoff bill that no one has read or even knows what it contains is akin to a Dr. ordering a leg amputated because the patient has a blister on his foot. The leg may eventually have to come off, but that is a stupid first move.
