Five year plans and new deals, dressed in golden chains, and I wonder,

They can do the math, it's the truth they have problems with. This new
Pork bill is only designed to secure power. If they really wanted to
stimulate the economy they would give the money to the people, or let
them keep it. A commentator noted last night that they could take all
the same money they are using to pay back the campaign donators, and
give $17,000 to every American, that would definately stimulate the
economy, but it wouldn't buy them power. Just like handing the Tarp
money to the banks and auto unions, didn't do anything for the people,
but it sure secured a lot of votes...
