Simple Minds Think Alike, Too

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~ Albert Einstein

The reason I haven't posted lately is because the majority of news stories lately have been about Obama's stimulus package. I haven't found much else worthy of comment.

And I am not, nor have I ever been, an expert on economics.

I have been trying to make sense of this whole thing, and I have to admit, I can't. I have been trying to view this stimulus package through the eyes of Obama's supporters to ascertain exactly why they support it, when it looks like sheer madness to me. I am reminded of a saying on a key chain I once saw:

"I am trying to see things from your perspective, but I can't get my head that far up my ass."

I fail to see how it could ever work, even in a fantasy world.

Here is something I've learned in my fifty-seven years of struggling to make a living:

If you don't have any money, you can't solve the problem by spending more.

Of course, I never had the advantage of being able to legally print up more money when the existing funds run out.

Still, even with that advantage, I fail to see how even the most simple minded could think this plan will work.

Well, Obama is nothing if not simple minded, apparently.
