The message seems to be that since we are in a crisis, and everyone agrees "something must be done," any spending, no matter the purpose, the amount, or how obscure or even unnecessary, is to be sheepishly accepted because we are told to.

Obama said it for all on his side: "Any spending is stimulus." I don't think so!

The humongous deficits that will be enshrined in the Obama/Democrat budgets (from nearly $2 trillion per year down to around $600 billion and then increasing back to nearly $1 trillion in 10 years, according to Congressional Budget Office) will dwarf anything that has come before. People of every political stripe, except for liberals, are outraged and angry. If you're not, you should be. [Emph mine -- UG]

If you feel magnanimous and think the government deserves additional largess, no one is stopping you, on this Monday after tax day, from writing a check for however many thousands of excess dollars you have to Uncle Sam's Treasury Department.

Since the only inarguable source of economic productivity is through the private, free enterprise market, why you would think your money is better spent by Washington or Sacramento is truly beyond me to comprehend.
And some here insist I'm mad. I ain't mad -- just literate.
