“One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the
evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.”
Thomas Reed, 1886.
Not content with just mortgaging our own future and that of our kids, our government in it’s great wisdom eternal stupidity has managed to put the grandkids in the (sinking) ship, too.
Please explain to me just how stupid you have to be to sign something you haven’t even read? God knows what is in the “stimulus” bill, because our lawmakers (and I use the term loosely) certainly don’t.
At this point, information on just what is in this bill POS is unavailable. There are 485 amendments, most of which information is not available on, either.
However, I find these to be of interest:
S.Amdt.107 Fail
Prohibiting direct or indirect use of funds to fund the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).
(Can’t let Present BO’s favorite organization down, now can we?)
S.Amdt.140 Fail
To provide greater accountability of taxpayers’ dollars by curtailing congressional earmarking and requiring disclosure of lobbying by recipients of Federal funds.
(What, accountability, why the next thing you know, those peasants will want to have a say in what we do…)
.2S.Amdt38 EPIC FAIL To ensure that the $1 trillion spending bill is not used to expand the scope of the Federal Government by adding new spending programs.
By now, I don’t know whether to laugh or puke.
