Two Trillion Tons

I have an idea. I'm going to go out and buy a brand new Lamborghini, a beach house and hire a personal cook. Initial outlay will be roughly 5 million, upkeep 500k/year.

The reason behind this is that it will get me out of debt and create prosperity for me. Oh wait, I don't have the money but that doesn't matter because a lot of "brilliant economists" agree that this works.

Of course, the above is silly. We know that to get ourselves out of debt we have to reduce spending, get debt under control, and create a product.

But this is exactly what Obama is doing. His so called stimulus bill has done nothing to stimulate the economy and only put us further into debt. Of couse, privately he's grinning with glee because what his administration is really all about is bringing the American people in complete bondage to government. All he needs is a financial crisis to do it.

Notice something. The things that Obama says will bring health back to our economy are government improvement programs. They are not goods and services and ultimately the citizens end up working for the government. As with most of what Obama has been doing, its brilliant and diabolical.

Someone sent me this song which illustrates what I'm talking about. I'm not sure whether to cry or laugh.
