Stimulate Me Again

As the unemployment rate climbs into double digits, and the Vice President says that the Obama Administration may have "misread" the economic situation, there are a few economists calling for a second stimulous package. The first one, $800 billion, did not quite do the trick.

How worried should I be?

If a second stimulous is needed, the Republicans are going to have a huge party, they will slam the Administration as hard as they possibly can, they will close their greedy fists tightly around the tax payer dollars, while Americans, those citizens who pay the taxes, struggle to survive. The Republicans will talk and talk, while Americans wonder where they are going to get the money for groceries, for mortgage payments, for shoes for the kids.

I am a woman in my late forties, and I am all for more stimulous. In fact, if the books I have read lately have any truth to them, I can be stimulated many more times. I say, pile on the stimulous, guys, we can spend it as fast as you can print it.

FEATURED QUOTE

"In fact, on a whole range of issues, the contemporary Republican Party is a party of medieval romanticism. Its disquisitions on when the human person begins are theological in character and rooted in assumptions even a lot of medievals would have questioned. Its faith that bankers would never steal from us and so do not need to be regulated is a form of mysticism that medievals would have applied to saints. And its fascination with arbitrary arrest and imprisonment and with torture more recalls the star chambers of yore than the deliberations at Philadelphia over 200 years ago."
