The latest load of fertilizer coming from the smartest guy in the room is called “CASH FOR CAULKERS”.
Under this dizzy plan, one could receive up to a $12 thousand dollar tax rebate for caulking and weatherizing their home, but that is just one of the screwy ideas our BOY has come up with.
He wants to expand an already bankrupt program (Medicare) and all folks age 55 – 64, along with the over 65 crowd who are already on the program. While we are on that subject it would appear that Medicare premiums are going to go up from $96.00 and change monthly to $120.00 and change, but at the same time we get no COLA. (Cost of living allowance) but they get theirs.
The Medicare boat is sinking and these people in Washington want to load more passengers on the boat. Does anyone in Washington know what the hell they are doing?
Obviously no one bothered to take accounting 101, or if they did they promptly forgot it as soon as finals were over, or the possibility exists that they are all fading into Alzheimer’s syndrome, or they are drinking Nancy Pelosi’s Kool-Aid.
Obama has not used the word stimulus (I think that would be a poison pill), instead he uses words like my plan or my proposal, but no matter how you word it is still a grab-bag of ideas that have been tried and have failed in the past.
How about a “new” tax credit for small business hiring, which looks a lot like Jimmy Carter’s jobs tax credit, which failed in less than a year.
Do you remember all of those supposed shovel ready jobs that the “Anointed One” used to sell stimulus 11? A very large part of that money was used for Medicaid, Welfare, Community Block Grants and the now infamous Cash For Clunkers program.
But, this time B. Hussein O. assures us the money will be used for infrastructure projects, you know, bridges, roads etc.
If you believe this load of bull you have been drinking the same Kool-Aid that Pelosi has been drinking.
Where oh where will all the money come from to pay for all of this wonderful pie in the sky?
There will be huge tax increases coming our way in 2011 if not sooner as the Bush tax cuts expire, as well as a lot more federal borrowing (from China perhaps), they own our country now.
Another proposal coming from the smartest guy in the room is to use money that has been repaid by banks to the $700 billion TARP fund passed by congress a year ago.
The Democrats assured us at that time, that any returned money would be used to pay down the debt. I seem to remember a candidate saying that every penny would go “directly back to the American people”. OH REALLY? Show us the money!!!
Can it be any more obvious that that whole crowd in Washington speaks with a forked tongue starting with B. Hussein O.
