The Spendulus, In a Nutshell

From Senator Lamar Alexander, via Post Politics:

This bill will give American workers $8 a week in their paychecks in exchange for passing along a $1 trillion debt to our grandchildren. The entire New Deal in today’s dollars cost only half of what this bill costs.

The wife and I are eagerly anticipating what we’ll do with that extra $8 a week, each…me, personally, I figure we go heavy into canned goods, and spend the tax return on the shotguns. Meanwhile, we drain out the 401k and buy gold.

Its going to be a very long four years, and we’re going to emerge out of it a great deal poorer than we are today – but, hopefully, we’ll be wiser in a lot of ways and especially in that way which makes people positively retch at the mere thought of another liberal, Democratic Administration.
