Only 23% of Stimulus Will Be Spent This Year

 The idea that President Obama’s stimulus bill has anything to do with stimulating the economy is a fallacy. Dear Leader told us that we had to take quick action or America would face a catastrophe. He claimed that is we didn’t act quickly America would never recover from the economic woes that would befall her. (He forgot that America once came out of a depression.) This was the reason that the stimulus bill had to be passed right away.

 But this bill has only a little to do with stimulating the economy, as is proved by the fact that over 75% of the bill will not even be spent for years. Only 23% of Obama’s stimulus bill will be spent this fiscal year.

 If this is truly a stimulus bill, and if Obama was telling us the truth about the impending disaster why then is less than a quarter of this bill scheduled to be spent this year? It seems that immediate required action would also require the stimulus money to be spent fairly quickly. Doesn’t it?

 The answer is simple, and I have repeated it over and over again so I apologize for repeating it one more time. Because this is not a stimulus bill. Yes there are some portions of this bill designed to create work (at least short term work, not permanent long term work) but the vast majority of this bill is nothing but Democrat pet projects and Democrat entitlements. The majority of this bill is being used to implement far left agenda items that, as Rahm Emanuel is fond of saying, can be done in times of crisis where normally they could not be done. Never let a crisis go to waste.

 This bill could be the biggest scam ever pulled off on the American people. To use the mortgage meltdown and recession as an excuse to scare the American people into supporting a fallacy of a stimulus bill to radicalize America is disgusting, disturbing, and reprehensible.

 I can only hope that the American people wake up before the election of 2010 and realize what they, and Obama, have done. It may be too late by then to undo the fundamental changes that Obama has brought upon the country but at least if we take back either the house or senate we can limit his damage.

 We have to, we have no choice.
