Personal Stimulus:
2008, Bush: $1,800.00 ($1.8 thousand)
2009, Obama: $250.00 ($0.3 thousand)
- Difference: Obama gives me $1,550.00 ($1.6 thousand) less … one seventh …
Corporate Stimulus (Aprox):
Bush: $1,630,000,000,000.00 ($1.6 trillion)
Obama: $3,160,000,000,000.00 ($3.2 trillion)
- Difference: Obama deficit spending, just on stimulus: double Bush’s.
Allegations:
- 2008: Bush Jr was quite clear he was refunding peoples' taxes; his detractors claim the tax refund amount was too paltry to have bothered with. What is “one-seventh of paltry” ?
- 2009: Obama cannot account for where stimulus monies went; his detractors claim at least a significant amount of it went to his 2008 Campaign political supporters; we do know that Obama has closed down GM & Chrysler dealerships that have been profitable, if they failed to adequately support Obama in 2008.
Conclusions:
1. Thank you, Barney Frank (D, Mass 4th Dist) and co-travellers, for creating the foreseeable mortgage bubble & foreseen burst bubble, in the first place.
2. Thank you, Barney Frank & co-travellers, for setting the economic fire and then telling us you can put it out. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me?"
3. Hoodwinked with doublespeak? Enough, already?
