President Obama Signs Stimulus Bill

February 18th, 2009 by Fiar · 13 Comments ·

I used to be skeptical about the whole bloated, big government, welfare state, don’t ever let people learn from their failures model of government. I had this idea that if you reward incompetence, then you will get more incompetence. Then Barack Obama became President. Thus proving my hypothesis.

So, on that basis, I was opposed to the economic stimulus package, but then I read that the stimulus bill was awesome. Not just wicked cool awesome, but like super duper, Obama coin collection awesome.

Now, I’m totally stoked. Best of all, I’ll finally get my unicorn.

And what do the rest of us get. I was hoping it would get so bad eventually you’d have to put alaska up on the market… I had big plans for that bit of land.

No one thinks the bill is awesome. But some (not me) think the trade offs are just the only way business gets done in Washington, so they are accepting of it.

If I were the President, I would have told congress to clean up the mess, and create multiple bills
- Energy Independence Bill
- Economic Help for individuals, or Feel Good, Bill.
- Economic Stimulus Bill
- Oink (or pay back my supporters) Bill

Then I would have said to make the bill easier to understand, and require that anyone voting on it, read it (all of it).

I like the provision for subsidizing Cobra health insurance. (I don’t need it yet, but I think it could be a reality soon enough).
That could go into the “feel good” bill.

I thought we had the “feel good Bill” in the ’90s.

C’mon, honestly. What the hell good is a unicorn anyway? I mean really. Is it gonna help me get laid, or something? I just don’t get the whole unicorn thing.

RT-I thought that was,’it feels good to Bill’?

Eillen- How about ‘the clean up the corruption in government that will stimulate clean up in corporate America because they won’t have that active or tacit backing any longer and get the hell out of our lives, and the free market system, so we can all get back to work bill’? OK, maybe the title needs to be a little shorter.

Eric- I’d be 10 times more likely to lay you if you had a unicorn.

(Kidding!!)

Go ahead and make fun… but I’ve got BIG plans for my $8/wk!

In unrelated news – Socks, the Clinton’s 18 y/o cat died yesterday. I’m sure Bill will be stuffing it, as that’s what he really enjoys.
