Thursday, Feb 12th - Zero: Stimulus (Part Deux Deux)

Well, this week there were lots of layoffs around the country, but the worst is yet to come. It seems as though America as we know it is about to be fired as of tomorrow. Because it seems as though the out of control Spending Bill (or Socialism 101 Bill) will be passed by the traitors in Washington DC.

Obama recently sneered at us 'chattering class' who seemed to think we are economists, but anyone who has taken high school economics knows: subsidize something and you will get more of it, tax it and you will get less of it... So what are we subsidizing? Unwed welfare mothers, people with STD's, and Liberal pet projects. You know where I'm going with this...

So, now I want to point out two of the most chilling bills I have ever read that are being snuck through:


First: The 1996 Welfare Reform bill marked the first time any government entitlement had ever been rolled back. Despite liberal howling and foot-stomping, not subsidizing illegitimacy led, brace yourselves, to less illegitimacy.

Welfare recipients got jobs, as the hard-core unemployables were coaxed away from their TV sets and into the workforce. For the first time in decades, the ever-increasing illegitimacy rate stopped spiraling upward.

As proof that that welfare reform was a smashing success, a few years later, Bill Clinton started claiming full credit for the bill.

Well, that's over. The stimulus bill goes a long way toward repealing the work requirement of the 1996 Republican Welfare Reform bill and rewards states that increase their welfare caseloads by paying unwed mothers to sit home doing nothing.

Second: bureaucrats at Health and Human Services will now electronically collect every citizen's complete medical records and determine appropriate medical care.

No, I am not joking. Read it and weep.

HHS bureaucrats will soon be empowered to overrule your doctor. Doctors who don't comply with the government's treatment protocols will be fined. That's right: Instead of your treatment being determined by your doctor, it will be settled on by some power-hungry half-wit loser in Washington who couldn't get a job in the private sector.

And a brand-new set of bureaucrats in the newly created office of "National Coordinator of Health Information Technology" will be empowered to cut off treatments that merely prolong life. Sorry, Mom and Dad, Big Brother said it's time to quit being selfish and die already!

At every other workplace in the nation -- even Walmart! -- workers are being laid off. But no one at any of the bloated government bureaucracies ever need fear receiving a pink slip. All 64,750 employees at the department of Health and Human Services are apparently absolutely crucial to the smooth functioning of the department.

With the stimulus bill, liberals plan to move unfirable government workers into every activity in America, where they will superintend all aspects of our lives.

Robert Kennedy famously said: "There are those who look at things the way they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and ask, 'Why not?'"

Obama's version seems to be: "There are those who look at things and ask, "Why on earth should the government be paying for that?" I dream of things that never were funded by the government and ask, "Why not?"

I weep for our once great country. :(

Peace, Love, and GOD,
