Stop the Madness

I have been reading and reading and reading all these stories on the web about thie "stimulus" package. It's up to $819B and climbing. Some have said it's headed up into the several trillion dollars. Some say it's not a stiumlus package. Some say it is.

It seems to promote bigger government. Read that more government intervention and control in our lives. Spending more and more money this country doesn't have.

Politicians like Democrat Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, attempted in vain to make the case that somehow providing over $100M for things like condoms would help turn the economy around. Saying, well, more condoms means less babies and somehow that would help the small businessman in Boise, Idaho meet his bills.

At this point, it's gotten so crazy that I think the best thing to do is nothing. Everyone, should stop, take a breath and let a month or two go by so people can relax. The Chosen One keeps making people panicky by saying we have no time to lose and all he's trying to do is shove this whole thing down our throats. He's keeping everyone in a frenzy so we'll buy into this ill-conceived plan.

I say, STOP. Let things settle down. Let the economy find its way.

On another note, can anyone tell me what happened to that first $700B. Does anyone know who has that money and what they are doing with it? While no one in Washington is talking about that they want more and more money on top of that. That's over $1 TRILLION, so far and there are those who say that's not the end. Where will it all end? This is a huge train wreck about to happen to this country and no one seems to want to stop it.

The power hungry Democrats have hit the ground running and they are trying to run this country into the ground with all this frivolous spending in the name of helping the economy which it won't.

Wouldn't it be better if they just took a bunch of this money, say $5000 for every legitimate tax payer of this great land and send it to us? Now, that would stimulate the economy and that would be far less than the $819 Billion they are proposing thus far.

Washington, STOP. You are sending American in the wrong direction. That's not the change we had hoped for.

God bless you and may God have mercy on America.
