Stimulus 2.0

The madness never ends in DC.

The political class is now chattering about the need for a second stimulus. If we count the Bush stimulus from last year, this will be the third mass blowing of money in a desperate Keynesian move to counteract the laws of economics and produce wealth from nothing. Meanwhile, the deficit balloons, and the national debt grows by leaps and bounds.

When I hear people talk of hyperinflation and 20% unemployment, I tend to take those predictions with a grain of salt. Not anymore. I think those people are correct. This madness known as Obamanomics can only lead to higher taxes, higher unemployment, and higher inflation. The US economy has gone beyond being in the shitter and is headed straight for the septic tank.

I have to wonder what the fools who voted for Obama must be thinking now. At some point, it will become apparent to everyone that Barack Hussein Obama is a profoundly stupid individual, and anyone who voted for him or believed his lies is a shit-for-brains deluded fucknut.

Fixing this mess is relatively straightforward. Cut spending. Cut taxes. Abandon cap-and-trade. Audit the Fed. Ease up on regs. There is a lot DC can do, but they won't do it. They are like Krugman with his unfalsifiable thinking where failure only means we need to increase the madness.

The madness will stop. It will happen in 2010 when the American public becomes dissatisfied and votes in a massive Republican wave to Congress to act as a check on the Obama fools. This may explain the urgency on Obama's part to ram his policies through Congress. His window for tomfuckery is closing. For my part, it can't close soon enough.

The blame is starting to rest on Obama now. His approval ratings are starting to slide. This is not Bush's shitpile now. It is Obama's. He is going to own it, and he is going to pay. This is why they call it Stimulus 2.0 when it really is 3.0. People have forgotten Bush. This is all Obama now.

Now is the time for Republicans to rally and fight, but they are mostly like a wounded animal. Ron Paul is the only guy who hasn't shot himself in the foot, and the movement he started is gathering steam. It gets no MSM recognition, but it will.

As for Mark Sanford, that tepid rally of foes should bolster his spirits quite a bit. As I said, people aren't going to care. Resignation should be off the table. Sanford does a good job with his veto, and we need it esp. when Stimulus 2.0 comes.
