Obama & the Dems will declare victory, that they saved America, patting themselves on the back and denouncing again & again Bush & the evil Neocons & their 8 years of failed policies blah blah blah...They'll actually believe they saved the day, and it will become political lore and a case study in universities all over this once great nation...(Rosey awakes in a cold sweat to the raucous ringing of his alarm clock, relieved that it was all just a bad dream...)Roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831258809546539352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-13150257991342267662009-02-12T11:27:00.000-08:002009-02-12T11:27:00.000-08:00Another possibility is the stimulus plan is simply...Another possibility is the stimulus plan is simply for political show as a way to appease Democratic constituencies then when it actually comes time to actaully implement the programs some excuse will be made for either canceling some of the spendin out right or by watering it down. In any event, this is not good.<BR/><BR/>Much of the spenind will eventually either need to be canceled or significantly reduced. It is difficult to envision a scenario where foreign debt holders would simply sit back and allow this massive spending bill to go forward un heeded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-34112036580902994822009-02-12T07:49:00.000-08:002009-02-12T07:49:00.000-08:00"Now Obama and the Democrats OWN it."This is true...."Now Obama and the Democrats OWN it."<BR/><BR/>This is true. Blame Bush will work for about six months to possibly a year. After that this debacle will belong to Obama and the Democrats. <BR/><BR/>For the sake of the country I hope and pray the economy improves. Unfortunately there is absolutely way this so called stimulus plan can possibly work. In fact, it is absolutely guaranteed to make things worse. Only an evil person or a complete idiot would come up with such a plan. <BR/><BR/>Given that the so called stimulus plan is guarnateed to fail and the Democrats own it, in a reasonalby fair election the Democrats would be handing control of the House and Senate to the Republicans. It makes me wonder just what are they thinking. <BR/><BR/>Normally I'm not given to conspiracy theories. First of all I do not think the Democrats are idiots. This means they may not plan to hold elections in 2010. They may be planning to use some "crisis" to cancel them. <BR/><BR/>Finally, if the economy does improve, it will not be because of the so called stimulus plan. It will be in spite of the stimulus plan. This so called stimulus plan is the exact opposite of a stimulus plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
