What the Hell is going on

We have a ton of stuff going on in Washington, D.C. Most of this "goings on" is not what the American people want. We have our representatives, let me repeat that, our REPRESENTATIVES, doing what they damn well please, not doing what the people they represent want them to do.

We have a bill in Congress that is loaded with pork spending that have nothing to do with stimulating the economy. I mean, do they really want to stimulate the economy or do they want to take advantage of the economic down turn and seize nearly unlimited power.

The Liberals have chosen to not do what is best for the country but to take the power grab. I can say thank you to the Republicans in the House of Representatives that voted against this stupid, non-stimulus bill. They actually got back to their conservative roots. At least on this one issue.

But shame on the three Republicans in the Senate who voted for this. You can bet they will have a hard time getting themselves re-elected. Which is not so good for the Republican party or Conservatives. Or is it? Could this be the opening that the Republicans and true Conservatives have been looking for? I think it is. Think about it.

The Liberals were warned about taking this past election out of context and over reaching. They seem to think they won the election because people want socialism. Well all polls that are taken on this stimulus bill would suggest the opposite. Not to mention all the phone calls and emails each representative has been getting against this so-called stimulus bill.

Americans rightly so, do not want this bill to become law. It is full of things that are socialistic and have nothing to do with creating jobs.

By the way, how the hell does the government create a job? It can not create a job unless it is a government job. The private sector creates the jobs that get and keep our economy moving. If there is a road project, then sure it employs the private sector but that project goes away when it is done.

Then what does that private employer have to do? They have to find another project to keep those workers employed. So if there are no private sector projects then that worker gets the pink slip.

Hell, we can see that F.D.R. had a policy that failed and it failed big time. The Great Depression was bad in and of itself. However, studies have found that those policies extended the financial turmoil by at least 7 years. So that means the Depression of the 1930's was probably 7 years longer than it needed to be. The government policies did nothing to help the economy.

In fact those policies, which are similar to what they want to do now, extended the Depression. This stimulus bill will only serve to extend and maybe even deepen our economic problems.

Ronald Regan said, and rightly so, "all to often, government is not the answer. Government is the problem." This cannot be more so true today when one get a look at the stimulus package. It is so large that not even the people who were voting on this thing know what is in it. Yet they are voting on it and approving it.

Including this socialized medical part of the bill which every Democrat that is interviewed on this says it is what the American people want and that it only helps usher our American Medical Records system out of the dark ages. Even when they are faced with the language in the bill that tells exactly what will happen, those same Democrats tell us that is not what the bill says.

I mean how stupid do these people think we are? Well, they obviously think we are very, very stupid because we keep voting these people back into office each and every election season.

So once this "ginormous" bill hits the streets as law, will that finally break the average Americans back enough for them to do an about face with the elections and send all of those idiots packing? Probably not. But maybe the American people will throw another temper tantrum like they did this past election and vote at least some people into office with Liberty, Freedom and common sense on their tongue. One can only pray and hope.
