Talk of Second Stimulus Plan Shows True Colors

With Supreme Court Justice hearings coming to a conclusion, the big talk coming out DC now is about a second stimulus package.  What makes no sense is that we have barely spent 10% of the first package, making any talk of another simply illogical.   But, it’s illogical only if your true goal is economic stimulus, rather than simply a ploy to expand government.   I’ll let the readers do the math there.

And if you think it makes sense to replace even more of the private sector with bigger government, first think of the Katrina response, ill-conceived bank bailouts, and the fact that you are further empowering and relying on those that let the sub-prime mortgage mess (quite frankly the core of our current economic dilemma) happen to begin with.
