Benjamin Franklin could offer some words of wisdom to the current elected officials throughout the land. Particularly the liberal instigators of the stimulus package.
If you would know the value of money, go try to borrow some; for he that goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.
The Patriot Post points out the reality of the stimulus package so vehemently and urgently forced upon America.
The $787 billion “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” otherwise known as the stimulus package, was signed into law by President Barack Obama in February. Since then, the economy has lost two million jobs, and unemployment has risen to 9.4 percent, — well beyond the administration’s top-end prediction of 8 percent if Congress would only spend the money. In Obama’s parallel universe, his so-called stimulus has thus far “saved or created” 150,000 jobs, and The One now promises to “save or create” another 600,000 jobs in the next 100 days. After that, he’ll part the Red Sea and turn water into wine.
In fact, while 49,000 jobs lost in a month was deemed disastrous when George W. Bush was in the White House, 345,000 jobs lost in a month is reason for hope with Obama.
