Cute title and the new buzzword from the Right……it is being used by McCain, Boehner, Cantor and a wealth of right wing talkers on the airwaves…..
The hundreds of billions of dollars Washington is borrowing to finance this pork-barrel monstrosity will come from our children and grandchildren. This is not “stimulus” – it’s generational theft.
McCain said that the Senate version of the package (which, even after some pruning by Republicans and Democrats, currently stands at $827 billion) would lead to a $1.2 trillion budget deficit, which he said marks only the beginning of a greater downward spiral. “We are going to amass the largest debt in the history of this country and we are going to ask our kids and grandkids to pay for it,” he said.
I find it amazing that they, the right, would be using it since they have, for the last 8 years, saddled our children with trillions in debt for their damn stupid military exercises….but that somehow is different….you will hear….but that is bulls*it!
Anything that stretches the deficit can be called generational theft…..the Dems do NOT have a market cornered on the situation…..all this hyperbole is just that……a game…a sick political game…a game that NO one can win….
The sickening part is the false concern for future generations……if these sanctimonious blow hards really cared about future generations then they would have NO problem saving the environment, strengthen education, fixing health care……but NO!……they had rather spend their time and waste our money playing games……while those insignificant little people (US) try to go about their lives and make a life for their families……
You are forgetting something. If it involves killing non-Christians and enriching the wealthy, it does not count. Why do you think there was not too much protest by them when Mr. Change announced his Afghan strategy? Sure, there was a few but not nearly as much as if it had been for other programs.
Good one and I have used the term “brown skin” many times….since WW2 all the armed conflicts have been against brown skinned people….coincidence? Do not believe in them…..
Of course it’s false concern – politicians don’t do any other sort. That said – it’s also true.
There is of course one way out though – once the world starts to recover, we need a huge run of raging inflation for a year or so – then the debts will only be worth about ten percent of what the value is right now.
The money men would like that much though, because their fortunes would be devalued.
Oh well… 😈
Geez, Quin…you are a mind reader or “great minds think a like”………every year I do a prediction of the coming year and one of my predictions will be the return of inflation by the 3rd quarter……cool
