When a pilot bails out of his plane, he does so with a reasonable expectation that his chute will open and that his life will be saved. The current Stimulus bailout plan now in Conference Committee comes with no such expectation that the chute will open and the economy will be saved. Democrats will pull the ripcord only to discover, there is no chute.

How can I say that when the stimulus bill carries a price tag in excess of 800 billion dollars? Easy! Look at it this way: weve been told that our economic dilemma started with the housing crisis. That is, people defaulting on mortgages that had ballooned way beyond their ability to pay and therefore lost their homes due to foreclosure. They didnt lose their jobs –they just lost their homes.

Keep in mind, two thirds of this countrys economic engine is driven by (here it comes) consumer spending. As long as people continued spending, we were fine. Somewhere along the way, the consumer became wary and began cutting spending, and salting money away. When that happened, the economic engine began to sputter. The more it sputtered, the less they spent.

When people quit buying, retailers couldnt make a profit. The result? Layoffsand eventually store closures, a vicious cycle feeding upon itself. Just remember, (Ill say it again) 2/3rds of this countrys economic engine is driven by consumer spending. So, how do we get consumers to start spending again?

Democrats say unfreeze the credit markets. But, who is going to apply for credit when they dont have a job? What bank is going to lend to an applicant who has no job? What bank is going to lend to an applicant who may have a job today, but no job tomorrow? So, the stimulus bailout plan offers billions to banks to unclog the credit markets. Will it work? No! Why? 1st Community Bank president Mark Lund says Its difficult in this environment to find loans that we can underwrite.

The solution is putting people back to work but the stimulus bailout plan doesnt do that. Its a far cry from Franklin Roosevelts stimulus plan that actually put people back to work during the depression. And yes, I was around then, and I do remember. The current Democrat stimulus bailout bill is so larded up with pork and social engineering, even calling it a bailout is a farce.

Unless and until the Democrats realize people with jobs will spend, buying cars, houses, boats and RVs, go out to dinner, take vacations, etc, there will be no bailout that saves the economy. Theyll pull the ripcord, but no chute will appear.

This stinker of a bill is being purposely hidden from the eyes of the public…why?

The bill being forced through congress by a few key democrat players has been written behind closed doors and in secret meetings with the president. The BIG question is why? Why the secrecy if it is such a good bill. And why the big hurry to pass the bill. Not a single legislator, including those who wrote it, could

Stimulus Bill Abolishes Welfare Reform and Adds New Welfare Spending, by Robert Rector and Kathrine Bradley

** A major public policy success, welfare reform in the mid-1990s led to a dramatic reduction in welfare dependency and child poverty. This successful reform, however is now in jeopardy: Little-noted provisions in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate stimulus bills actually abolish this historic reform. In addition, the stimulus bills will add nearly $800 billion in new means-tested welfare spending over the next decade. This new spending amounts to around $22,500 for every poor person in the U.S. The cost of the new welfare spending amounts, on average, to over $10,000 for each family paying income tax. *** The House and Senate stimulus bills will overturn the fiscal foundation of welfare reform and restore an AFDC-style funding system. For the first time since 1996, the federal government would begin paying states bonuses to increase their welfare caseloads. Indeed, the new welfare system created by the stimulus bills is actually worse than the old AFDC program because it rewards the states more heavily to increase their caseloads. Under the stimulus bills, the federal government will pay 80 percent of cost for each new family that a state enrolls in welfare; this matching rate is far higher than it was under AFDC. *** Writing in Slate, liberal commentator Mickey Kaus criticizes the stimulus bill welfare provisions as a “liberal conspiracy to expand the welfare rolls.” **

Today marks the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the much revered and admired president who committed his presidency to the preservation of our nation and to freedom for all of her citizens. As we celebrate and remember this good man it is fitting that we also contemplate the events going on in Washington DC today. To that end I invite you to read the following article by Kevin O’Brien:

The real price of the stimulus will be individual liberty, by Kevin O’Brien

** If all goes as scheduled — and barring an exquisitely timed meteor strike on Washington, D.C., it will — on a holiday formerly dedicated exclusively to the president who saved the union in hopes of “a new birth of freedom,” the president we have today will sign freedom’s death warrant. **

New (old) legal practices will aid and abet enemies of America.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s outrageous oversight – Washington Times

** President Obama clearly didn’t do his homework before ordering the suspension of military tribunals to try terrorist suspects. We have learned that even his own legal counsel admitted that Mr. Obama erred in discussing details about terrorism with families of victims last week, and that the administration was ignorant of a key point that terrorists exploit to their advantage. In his rush to fulfill a campaign promise to his more fervid anti-war supporters, the president’s legal oversights risk the disclosure of some highly classified information to terrorists. **

Do you want to see how your bailout money is being spent? We have it right here, State by State, project by project….just click this link and read how your tax money is being spent.

For example, Lewiston, Maine received $57,000 for a Civil Rights Community Relations Liaison Officer to be a liaison between minorities and local police. And Brockton, MA, will receive $976,000 to install a gun detection system public buildings. However, it won’t include personnel to operate it. There was no showing they needed it either.

Hmmmm, ….so this is what democrats call an economic stimuli?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Wall Street bank executives squirmed under a public scolding in the U.S. Congress on Wednesday over how they used $176 billion in bailout money without noticeably improving the battered economy.

“America doesn’t trust you anymore,” Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano told eight bank chief executives during six hours of congressional questioning on the troubled bank bailout plan.

Because of the concentrated efforts of millions of Republicans all over America, Susan Collins (Maine) was reelected to the Senate, surviving a challenge once thought to be serious. She won, in large part, because she was able to drown her Democratic adversary in a sea of campaign spending made possible by donations from Republicans throughout the nation. As a result of their efforts, the GOP preserved its 40th vote in the Senate.
