Simple Man Politics

I think that former Governor and host of the new Fox News show Huckabee Mike Huckabee is right, that should be the name of our new economic stimulus plan. Since both houses of congress and the White House have failed to give the bill a name, I think this one is as good as any and better than most. I find this title to be especially descriptive and quite accurate as to the contents of the new stimulus package.

For starters this isn’t even Obama’s bill. The Obama version of the bill called for 45% to 50% tax cuts and 50% to 55% percent spending. The C.R.A.P. bill that passed has a 25% tax cuts to 75% spending ratio and is the brainchild of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid the ranking members and leaders of the Democratic Party that controls both houses of congress.

On the tax cuts side of C.R.A.P. the federal payroll tax cuts are aimed at people and couples who make less than 150k approximately. What this will basically amount to is about 13 dollars extra in your paycheck the first year and about 8 dollars in your paycheck the next year.

WOW is that economically stimulating to you or what. This must really want you to thank those politicians who voted for C.R.A.P. thereby giving us all such a wonderful financial windfall. Remember one thing though don’t spend it all in one place spread the wealth around a little.

On the spending side of the stimulus bill there is more C.R.A.P. than ever to stimulate job creation. It is spending programs like STD prevention for example. While I know that STD”s are acquired by a different kind of stimulation I am sure they wouldn’t put that in C.R.A.P. if it didn’t create jobs.

Then there are other spending programs designed to promote job growth like rebuilding infrastructure or bringing it into the 21st century by making it greener, although most of the work won’t start before 2010 I am sure we can wait for 2010 to see such awesome job creation. After all aren’t our elected officials looking out for our best interests?

I do know of one segment of the work force that will experience rapid job growth virtually overnight though. Those lucky people will be the beltway bandits and the lobbyists they employ to try to find ways to get their hands on your C.R.A.P. After all who better than the politicians and the businessmen who make up the beltway can handle your C.R.A.P. better than you the American tax payer.

That is all I have to say for today, but I will be back again soon with more revelations regarding our C.R.A.P. I’m sure. Have a great day and enjoy the video I put on here you will really find it amusing, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

P.S. To all of you who wanted to know, my Valentines Day was filled with a whole lotta love, and I hope yours was to.
