Stealthy Legislation

There’s talk of a ‘stealth stimulus’ being passed in the near future as well as another home equity bailout.

I wanted to take a moment and ask for a personal bailout for myself. I’m simply too big to fail. I mean it, as the co-author on this blog I am a large man, and you would not like me falling on or around you. Things could break–people could get hurt.  Babies could cry.

Reading articles mentioning the possibility of a second stimulus and or a second housing bill reminds me of a game I often played as a child.

It would usually be in a magazine, or on a worksheet. There would be a picture of numerous items, and you had to pick out the one that didn’t belong. If you scan through most of the opinion pieces now, the news blurbs, and the interviews, you’ll find that most are stating that the stimulus hasn’t worked and the housing bailout helped no one. There are numerous articles explaining how these ideas were broken or unnecessary, and then you see the article mentioning round 2?  One of these is not like the other.

More government spending=more taxes.
