Taxed 2 Debt!

Radioactive Rabbit Poop….

…is not a metaphor for the Stimulus Package, it’s a part of it.

“If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job,” HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said.

A new AP report linked above states that many jobs that were given raises were counted as saved jobs in the White House Report this month

.

The raises may have been needed or promised earlier, I don’t care about that so much as I care about someone getting a raise and it counting to Obama’s Big Stat Fantasy Job Saving League.

There should be an outcry here, but I’m not sure where it’ll come through.  Fox News is blacklisted a la 50′s Red Scare–apparently fiscal conservativism is the new Witch.  So, if AP reports on this, where is the accountability?  This is not something that should be allowed to drop through the daily news cycle.

We’ll keep our eyes open.

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.
