We're about to call bullshit on the stimulus thing

We still like Obama. A lot. We still want him to succeed. Desperately. We still don't understand the economy. At all. But we are are starting to get really worried about the way we're attacking this huge economic problem. Does it make sense, right now, to include a bunch of money for social programs in the stimulus package? Do we really want to keep chastising people for making and spending lots of money...when we REALLY need people to make and spend lots of money? This recession is feeding on itself. Let's just hope that nobody unionizes the new labor jobs and energy sector jobs that we are supposedly going to create.

Personally, we've really got to stop throwing away so much money on women and booze. We want to do our part to help stimulate things, but...? This is getting depressing. Opening Day can't get here fast enough. This might be the first time that we're more bullish on the Royals than on the fate of capitalism. And we're only half-way bullish on the Royals.

Just make sure to keep your Obama bumper sticker on.
