Are You Touched By The Stimulus?

America is awakening to the fact the Keynesian Economic plan, used by this administration, to stimulate the economy, isn't working. You can only imagine the shocked look on my face as this enlightenment drove itself home. After all, Japan tried the very same model, which led to the now famous, "Lost Decade."

Only those closest to the president still believe in this plan, like Joe Biden, Even Christina Romer, the mastermind of this plan, and his chief economic advisor, is abandoning ship to return to teaching. How do you enlighten our youth about economics after this debacle? Do as I say, not as I've done? What I tell you in the classroom, doesn't apply in real life? Call me silly, but I'd have a difficult time signing on to a class taught by her.

Meanwhile this administration is out telling us about all the lives this stimulus has touched. Finally the truth! This stimulus will affect generations, as it's going to take that long to pay it off. If anyone is portraying this as a positive, they themselves must be a tad "touched."

Americans know the truth, since this downturn has affected them they've been saving like never before, and paying down their credit card debt. If John Q Public knows this is the right path, why are the elected officials so out of touch? The answer is simple, it's not their money. They are making third party economic decisions, not first party like the voters. Washington simply does not honor the stewardship we've entrusted to them with our tax money. Honestly, most of them think our tax dollars are owed to them. Only 66 more days till we can correct their thinking!

God Bless!
Capt. Bill
