The Porkulus Pig and It's Different Shades of Lipstick

They can paint this pig any color and flavor they want and it adds up to the same thing, little hidden government agencies that will sprout from these provisions with the seed money here and then will grow exponentially in years to come as they become refunded after the supposed two year limit that's nothing more than a smokescreen that will expire itself making these all permanent "gubmint" agencies. Watch it grow like a big Chia Pet.

Today Obama got on the radio and one would swear we lived in Uganda or Nairobi as he and the other dem turncoats talk down the economy as they've been doing for years, then magically in two months Utopia will emerge with the MsM doing "stimulus reports" from all over the country showing us how many people are back to work fixing the America that "Bush neglected for a decade", I can picture it all now. It's all made for TV drama and they'll make this thing the prettiest and smartest boldest thing ever done, blah blah blago.

This old tired address has been repeated by him all week; today... now, must do or else, has to happen today, can;t live without it, America will crumble without his rescue plan, oh and the biggest line of crap America doesn't want a Democratic Solutio, or a Republican Solution....Except their getting a DEMOCRATIC SOLUTION whether we want it or not apparently.



Oh I see, it MUST BE DONE TODAY, HAS TO BE DONE TODAY, according to the chicken little democrats with Obama at the forefront of the fear mongering machine. The Great Oz has spoketh.

That's the most bothersome thing about this so called "immediate plan of action" tht doesn't even start in the first 16 months, only 20 % of this thing is ready to go or the newest catch phrase being "shovel ready". Better get the shovels out alright to shovel all the BS we'll be hearing.

Here's the financial timeline breakdown from CNS news:

The stimulus bill that passed the House, said the total cost of the bill (including both spending and tax cuts) was $815.8 billion. Of this $815.8 billion, according to CBO, $169.5 billion would go out in fiscal 2009, and $356 billion would go out in fiscal 2010. In other words, $525.5 billion of the $815.8 billion would be spent by the end of September 2010. That is 64.4 percent of the $815.8 billion total--not 75 percent. The other $290.3 billion will go out over the subsequent 9 fiscal years, according to CBO.
