Stimulus Act! Signed, sealed, delivered...and UNREAD!

Ron Paul puts it well. It all makes sense what he says, but human nature doesn't always see sense. In fact, collectively human nature is far more prepared to sup with the devil than stay the course of prudence and preparedness. After all, if someone shoves a trillion dollars in your face, would you say "NO!"?

So all the gravy trains have been topped up with cash. I had great hopes for Barack Obama and still do in many ways. But this so-called American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will go down in history as the millstone that future generations will carry about with them. All new babies will get a card welcoming them to the debt-ridden world. Most people think this is wonderful. After all, they are not paying for it. But there isn't an accountant alive who thinks that two and two makes ten. So how they are going to audit the Federal Government's books without scaring us all witless, I do not know.

Ron Paul says, about the passing of the Bill. "There were five copies available to the House and I think five to the Senate, and that wasn’t available ’til the House opened at noon time. So essentially it was not available to us and who can stay up all night and read a thousand pages? So obviously it was done like business as usual. Things have been going on like this for a long time, but this one was a little bit worse, it was bigger than usual so it was not a very good day for America."

It really makes you wonder what goes on in the minds of an average Congressman. Surely they must realise that this sort of cavalier approach to finance is what got us here in the first place?
