More about the "stimulus"

The tone that the national conversation about the stimulus bill has taken is very dangerous. The Democrats have decided that the Republicans that do not support this treasure trove of wasteful spending just do not want to be bipartisan. "Republicans do not want to create jobs," they say as they grandstand for the media lapdogs. I cannot find the story now, but one of our moonbat congresswomen even said that Republicans were committing a "hostile act" by not supporting it. If you do not support almost a trillion dollars in wasteful spending, I guess you just do not want to create jobs and you are being hostile. It is as simple as that. They do not want to defend the bill on its merits, of which it has very few, they just try to shame people into supporting it using soundbites, knowing Americans are not going to read into the issue any more than that. They will not look into it to see why people do not support it, the thing that will stick out in their minds is someone on the evening news saying that the Republicans do not want to work with the president and they do not want to create jobs.

According to Obama, the reason Republicans do not support it is because they are listening to Rush Limbaugh. Granted, Limbaugh has been against this thing since the beginning, but he is not the reason that fiscal conservatives are against this thing. It will not stimulate the economy. Conservatives know this. The Democrats also know this and that is why they will not debate the actual bill. The bill may stimulate the economy in the short term, putting people to work for a couple months, but in the long term, all of that spending is going to come back to haunt us.

They are just trying to ram this thing through quickly because they know that as people start reading what it is loaded down with (just a few things here) they are much less likely to support it. If people would actually read the wasteful provisions in this thing, there would be a huge demand to know exactly what this bill is going to stimulate besides Democrat politicians chances of being re-elected by saying they secured a billion dollars for their district in their re-election commercials. There needs to be a wake up call soon, before they do any more damage.
