Buying friends

[pasithea]

Oh now this is just fucking sad. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18956496&ft=1&f=1001

It's like Bush is admitting he's a complete failure. He's trying to buy friends.

Or is he trying to bribe voters for November because otherwise his party doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell.

OOOOH and an extra 300 per child for breeders. Isn't that nice. Of course, it's a mere $152,000,000,000 in taxes, but WHO CARES! With interest, he's only going to steal $1,000 per person to give you $600 and most of that will be carried by people like me who'll pay closer to $2,000. But if you're working part time at Wal-Mart with no healthcare and you have a half dozen screaming larvae, you'll probably only end up paying back $500 of it or so. WHAT A GREAT GUY.

Oh. An also, here's a person message from the president:

BTW, poor people and fags. FUCK YOU. If you earn less than $3000/yr or you're a 'single' person who make more than 75K/year, you get dick. I make more than 75K/year but my partner made nothing last year. We've been together for 10 years but fuck that. We'll get dick. THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT.

So in addition to paying a couple thousand or so in extra taxes for the privilege of letting Bush try to buy friends, he won't even try to bribe me. Isn't that extra special.

Most of my neighbors who're good little breeders will be getting about $3,000 per family. I predict half of them will use it to buy big screen TVs so they can scream even louder at football games. (While I'm on the subject of heterosexuals, did I mention the jackass sitting in his living room last Sunday blowing an airhorn for the fucking super bowl?)

According to an article provided by my stock broker, this stimulus package, which represents 1% of the GDP, will only provide a boost of about 0.3% to the GDP.

That means for every $1000 being dropped on taxpayers, only $333 will actually be spent. The rest will go into savings or paying off existing debts.

And anyone who passed Econ 101 should know this. Direct government spending provides more dollar worth per dollar spent... But money spent to private parties gives less value per dollar spent.

Where do people think 'profit' comes from, anyhow?
