BIPARTISAN OPPOSITION TO STIMULUS PLAN!

Sorry, Scott.

We’re hearing much (probably too much) these days about how FDR didn’t really end the Depression, and that it was World War II that finally did. Doesn’t matter. The people perceived that FDR was “doing something” and went along.

When the package passes, the markets will rise, people will sing “Happy Days Are Here Again,” wine will flow, car adverts will reappear on your TV screen, and we shall dance.

And the deficit will be worse.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter–tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning—-So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Unbelievable.

Every day I log on to Michelle Malkin’s blog to see the new line items. ATV trails. Resodding the Mall in D.C. STD prevention. Just makes me sick.

In my opinion, let the markets take care of themselves. This is not a cold expression. In fact, if the banks and money markets were left to deal with the mess they made, they would have done so most efficiently.

If you have a business and your clients/customers can’t pay, you work with your client/customer so as not to lose it all. BANKS WOULD HAVE BAILED OUT CONSUMERS BY LOWERING INTEREST RATES AND PROFIT MARGINS THEMSELVES.

The same can be said for credit. Banks cannot exist without lending money- that is how they make money. Sooner or later banks have to lend money. Now, because of the initial bailout funds, it becomes clear that bonuses. perks and payouts took precedence over the banks clients and customers. That unsophisticated credit union is beginning to look a whole lot better, isn’t it?

Funding the bailout only excuses the bad investment decisions made by pension funds and investment funds. If the pension and investment funds want to retain their investors, they could lower their fees and/or profit margins.

You get the idea.

When all is said and done, the best investment and stimulus package we can put together is to build and repair/rebuild our national, state, county and local infrastructures. Instead of leaving our kids more debt, let’s leave them greater opportunities and the infrastructure backbone to make their efforts easier.

President Roosevelt felt that he had to “do something” about the Depression, and we stayed in the Depression until we had a stimulus package passed by Hideki Tojo and Adolf Hitler. I’m guessing that’s not really the way we ought to do things this time.
