Sheesh<BR/><BR/>And you are extremely correct on the misplaced consumption.<BR/><BR/>The everyday citizen buys way more junk than they have to have.<BR/><BR/>I suppose they are just mirroring the government.<BR/><BR/>It's a vicious cycle.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thoughtfulness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-8781993758276198902009-02-28T22:18:00.000-08:002009-02-28T22:18:00.000-08:00Anon 9:31, I happen to think the stimulus plan, wh...Anon 9:31, I happen to think the stimulus plan, whoever writes it, is the hair-of-the-dog approach destined to fail. Misplaced consumption behavior is at the root of our problems. The sad thing is that McCain would have done no better toward changing people's thinking.James C.

The hole and the bs.<BR/><BR/>He knows how to twist the crap out of the truth. No earmarks in the stimulus bill. Pure bunk.<BR/>Yes I know there are no strictly congressional earmarks by that name but there is wasteful spending that can easily be called earmarks in it as discussed in this NPR article.<BR/><BR/>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99919378 <BR/><BR/>Just depends on your point of view. Of course Obama's will be they are not earmarks even though they meet the definition of the same.<BR/>200 million dollars to reseed the mall?<BR/>Come ON!<BR/><BR/>Not everyone has been groomed by the Chitown elite like Obama for speech making and you can see it's influence.<BR/><BR/>I guess he learned how to stir up the folks from the likes of Rev.
