We would have to say that at this time, it would seem the stimulus plan’s system of directing large amounts of federal tax dollars to the biggest campaign contributors of the majority party of Congress and the Obama administration, rather than toward productive Americans, doesn’t appear to be working very well. One might conclude that the wasteful spending is producing results little different than pouring the money down the drain.

And then I go on to briefly summarize Barack Obama’s history of wasteful spending and exceptionally poor judgment in fiscal matters….

Not that it will make any difference.

The Obomabots will never hear about the dismal failure.

What I don’t get is this consensus over 2012 being the year where things begin to improve. Why is it 2012? Why not 2013 or 2016? …(Also, for credibility, did these same individuals see the current economic downturn ahead of time before it became rather obvious?)

A better question is: how many of them can predict what new trillion-dollar confiscation of private funds will Obama announce TOMORROW.

As for the long-term crystal ball gazing: It’s like predicting the weather; if you try to guess more than a week in advance, they just go by the historical average. You’re better off with a Magic Eight Ball.

Liberal theologists have conclusively decreed that the five and a half quadrillion tons of gases in the earth’s atmosphere are going to be thrown permanently out of whack by an additional 0.000000001% carbon dioxide.

Oh, but a doubling of permanent non-discretionary federal spending in the first three months of this year, plus additional allocations equal to (so far) ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of last year’s GDP?

Don’t worry, that’ll just cause a little blip.

Of course Porkulus was not irrelevant.
It was the vehicle by which 100’s of billions of dollars were passed from the taxpayer to various Democratic constituencies. Both as a reward for past loyalties and as seed money to make sure that they are even more effective at distorting the political landscape in the future.

…AND destroying the credibility of the U.S. dollar in the world’s markets. Porkulus also caused China to cancel our credit card.

What I don’t get is this consensus over 2012 being the year where things begin to improve. Why is it 2012? Why not 2013 or 2016? What sort of reasoning is behind many so-called analysts predicting 2012 is the end of bad economic times and the beginning of prosperity?

Aw, that’s an easy one! Big Brother Barry, up for re-election, gets to take credit for the improvement! In the meantime, people are supposed to forget three years of recession, or blame it on Bush.

Was Porkulus irrelevant?

Ya think? Maybe not to OBAMACORN.
