Exercise in Frustration!

I just read This:

After a special meeting of the democratic Steering and Policy Committee ...Mark Zandi, a key economic advisor to congressional Democrats has said, "I think another stimulus package is a reasonable assumption because of the way things are going."

What does he mean "because of the way things are going" anyway! From bad to worse it seems to me, so what is his reasoning here?

And: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), standing with members of her leadership team by Zandi's side, said she agreed another stimulus bill is being considered.

Read the article here.

It's time to do whatever we can to stop this government run amok!

I'm going to email this article to everyone in my address book, and I hope you will too. We have to start somewhere, and united in indgnation is as good a place as any.

Who knew?

You're never too old to learn!
I am in my seventy-first year and I just learned some new definitions!

Silly me, I thought that Government monies devoted to infrastructure meant money and jobs reinforcing highways, bridges, dams, levies, water ways, and public transit.

I thought the stimulus bill was to pay Americans to work while improving basic conditions in America.

Now I have learned that infrastructure also can mean..water parks and Frisbee parks, miniature golf courses and polar bear enclosures.

I have learned that it means $240,000,000 to shore up the sagging film industry.
(Just maybe Hollywood should start producing movies with real plots, lively dialogue, and fewer moral lessons for those of us too dumb to see it their way. After all, they are the entertainment. Let them actually entertain and viewers will come back.)

I have learned that infrastructure can mean free abortions for women around the world.

How about a snow making and maintenance facility?

Or $375,000,000 for a Las Vegas Convention Center?

For a look at requests from United States cities and towns you can go to
Stimulus Watch where you can see how much for what projects Mayors across the country are requesting, and if you have knowledge of a project in your area, vote yes or no on it.

There were no requests from my town, but quite a few from other towns and cities in Arizona.
