    Stimulus Plan Failing - Time Magazine

    Time Magazine who ran more than a dozen covers with Obamas, is now stating that the Stimulus Plan is Failing on its' own measure.

    Is the honeymoon over? or are they trying to CYA?

    CYA. The one thing I've noticed about the libs, is that they will have undying faith in principles and ideals, even if they fail.

    They must acknowledge that the "stimulus" is not doing what it was supposed to do. Most normal folks would think, "let's switch to plan B". But not liberals. They are so convinced that they are right, that Obama and Co. will not change plans, but just keep throwing more into the pot.

    Instead of examining other options, we're talking about ANOTHER stimulus along the same lines! "We just haven't done enough." This administration will "miscalculate," but they'll never admit that they are wrong, and when popular opinion swings against another stimulus, the libs will take their typical elitist stand and say that the entire country is too dumb to know what's good for themselves.

    Mark my words: Mid-term elections are going to be heinously in favor of the republicans.

    If TIME says the porkulus is failing, that is concrete proof that it already failed.

    And about another porkulus, there is clear evidence that the economy would be better off now if none of the stupid stimulus packages had been enacted. It is nothing but Obama and his cronies wanting another power grab.

    Some of us who are not Keynesians saw this coming from a mile away. Of course what do we know with all our "theories" and such.

    Is anyone really surprised at this turn of events?


    Oh, and speaking of the Cash for Clunkers program:

    Did anyone (actually contributing to society) really need to wait until Time Magazine said this to know such a socialist scheme was wrong?

    "...and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them." - Prime Minister Thatcher Feb. 5, 1976

    There was a democrat congressman from California (cant remember his name) on CNBC talking about Geithner's recent testimony before the congressional committee on the economy, whatever it's called, and this DEMOCRAT stated, (paraphrasing), "you can't believe what anyone in this administration says (referring to Geithner), you have to read the fine print in the bills yourself."

    Can't believe what anyone in this admin says? Hmmmm......, imagine that.
