I’ve been told that because of the state of economy, the government has to do SOMETHING!!!!
Well, apparently, that something is the largest pork bill in history. This thing is made of pig stacked on top of pig, sheathed in bacon, bristling with radioactive pork chops, and cemented together with mortar made of Spam and aerosol cheese. Altogether it is a hulking behemoth of porcine evil capable of simultaneously kicking the living shit out of Godzilla, King Kong, and Gamera the Space Turtle without breaking a sweat.
This is the biggest single spending bill in history. Congress debated it for less than an hour.
I don’t know about you guys, but when I think about what will create jobs, I immediately think of $150,000,000 for bee insurance. I think about billions of dollars going to the frauds at ACORN. I think of 20 billion for foodstamps, billions for arts and entertainment, billions for abortion and contraceptives, billions going to already rich major universities, billions more to go to Pell Grant so that those major universities can just jack up tuition again, billions for every retarded moronic idiotic stinking stupid thing you can think of, and why the hell not? It’s only OUR money.
It isn’t a stimulus plan, it is just a giant list of stuff the Democrats have wanted forever and payoffs to the various douche bags who colluded to get Obama elected. So it is a tiny bit worse than the idiotic Republican plan that consisted of giving money to stupid companies so that the managers could still get their billions in bonuses. Our government is insane.
We’re heading down a very bad road here and I’m not sure where it is going to end up.

When I advise people to buy a $500 face value ( maximum amount that the coin shop doesn’t have to report ) bag of junk silver US coins, I am not being a crank.
That worn out 1962 US quarter will still buy a loaf of bread once this mess hits bottom.
“This thing is made of pig stacked on top of pig, sheathed in bacon, bristling with radioactive pork chops, and cemented together with mortar made of Spam and aerosol cheese.”
Quit saying things like this, it makes me hungry. Oh well, tonight shall be a dinner of grilled pork chops, mashed potatos with bacon, garlic, and cheddar, andgreen beans (cooked with a nice piece of salt pork). I might just have to give the chocolat ccovered bacon a try for dessert. ;>
“and why the hell not? It’s only OUR money.”
Technically it’s not. It’s your great-grandkid’s money and if the teacher’s union has anything to say about it they’ll be loyal commies anyway. So screw them!
Anyone who reports this bill as being “stimulus,” despite the title of the thing, should be put in stocks on the Washington Mall. When most thing of stimulus, they’re thinking of projects that provide jobs or loan guarantees so businesses can provide jobs. I don’t know one person who thinks millions of dollars for the National Endowment for the Arts is stimulus. Money to ACORN is not stimulus.
You called it right- this is pork and nothing but, all of it clearing Congress because the people are screaming for “stimulus,” and not one of them has the moral courage to stand up and call it what it well and truly is- a giveaway to the most leftist groups this nation has to offer.
The irony is that the latest polls show that the populace is [i]against[/i] this package, just as they were against the first.
If We the People aren’t screaming for stimulus, who is?
The only appropriate response to this is to drag the bastards out and hang them. They are deliberately destroying any chance of solvency for this country.

Far as I can tell, the road we’re on is paved with good intentions…
