Finally a good comparison

I’m frankly sick of the he said, she said arguments about who ran up the deficit, Barry or Bush. I thought it was Barry. Now I know it:

“Once this latest round of stimulus (in the form of expanded unemployment benefits) has gone out the door, we will have spent more trying to stimulate the economy than we spent on the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war — combined. To what end? Ten percent unemployment? A tottering recovery?”

Stimulus, my Aunt Fanny. Come on, November. Time to vote these Demwit bums and their pork wallow out to pasture. Or wherever hack, urban politicians go these days. Chicago, probably.

Deficit silence

Pathetic, really, the old media silence as Barry & The Dems (sounds like a 50s rock group) spend like drunken sailors (except that sailors spend their own money). No wonder the tea party protests keep growing. It’s not like the "stimulus" spending was actually targeted at some recognized social problem. It’s just plenty of pork, flung here, there and everywhere. So much of it, at so many targets, no one has yet gotten a handle on all of it. And the previous blatherers at Bush are saying nothing.
