A Brush with Immortality

I was all set to publish a post yesterday about the stimulus package. Alas, it is now in the cyber recycling bin. It was super-tastic, and by far the greatest piece of inspiration to have ever graced OwlGore's internet. The post categorically outlined in great detail and depth the exact ways and means to solve the economic crisis. It beautifully conveyed the basic principles of free-market capitalism and the importance of keeping government small and unintrusive. It was so simple to understand, my eight year old could have immediately incorporated and sold a zillion widgets, so I know that dumbasses like Barney Marble-Mouth, Scary Reid, and Nancy Perpetually Surpriselosi could get it. But then I got word that the Senate voted in favor of the package, making all of my research, citations, and prose void.

Final voting takes place in the next two days in hopes that the bill will be on PBHO's desk by Monday, President's Day. You know that Congress will do whatever it takes to get this done by tomorrow, because there is no way they will give up their vacation next week. So now we can look forward to all of the wonderful things that this package will bring: Items like honeybee insurance, ending welfare reform, weatherizing low-income homes, digital TV coupons, and funding to groups like ACORN. You know, all of the things that anyone automatically thinks of when it comes to preventing a depression.

So thank you Senators Specter, Snowe, and Collins, for jumping ship, burying your hands into my pocket for the rest of my life, and ruining my opportunity to save the nation. Being in my mid-thirties, I know that I won't see a dime from Social Security, so why not go ahead and steal another 15% of my income so that I can't save anything and possibly become dependent on government later in life. Then take somewhere around 50% of my kids' income when they reach my age to pay for the debt we are about to incur. I expect this type of behavior from the wealth-envious, class warring, agenda-pushing Left. They stand proud with that giant 'D' next to their name. These three Senators (and I'm sure there are more) need to be exposed for the sniveling, kowtowing, out-of-touch RINO's that they are.
