Baby, Baby You’re So Predictable
January 24th, 2008 at 10:56 am by Preston Taylor HolmesIf it weren’t so easy to predict, I’d say that I had extra sensationary perceptions. President Junior and his Kongressional Kronies are close to deal to hand free money out to the unwashed masses.
Families with children would receive an additional $300 per child, subject to an overall cap of perhaps $1,200, according to a senior House aide who outlined the deal on condition of anonymity in advance of formal adoption of the whole package. Rebates would go to people earning below a certain income cap, likely individuals earning $75,000 or less and couples with incomes of $150,000 or less.
People would have to have earned at least $3,000 in 2007 to receive the rebates, the officials said.
Fantastic. The free market begins to correct itself as the irresponsible lending bubble bursts and the Feds start playing a shell game to interfere with a painful – yet necessary – correction. In addition, they’re going to give away money in exchange for votes and call it a “stimulus package”.
This is what our Federal government has come to. It’s gone so far beyond its original design that all hope is very close to being lost. It’s an absolute embarrassment and both parties are equally to blame.
I was prepared to give Junior a break and say that he was the 2nd or 3rd worst president in modern history, but he’s moving ever closer to a tie with Dhimmi Carter. It’s going to be a photo finish.
UPDATE: Confirmed. Let the handouts begin.

Baby I’m-a gonna school ya….some old Bread lyrics. I’m just a 70’s girl after all…
“Bet by now I’ve made a hundred thou
But I ain’t saved a dime,
The IRS came out the best
They got my money every time,
But here I am on my hands and knees
Scrubbin’ in my dungarees
I got burned but I finally learned
This is what the governmeant…”
Carried those around in my since I was 5. Sing them while I do the TurboTax.

Unfortunately, this is what the American people have come to expect (especially the younger crowd). If you ask any of them what they think the most pressing issues for the President are, you will almost always get a reply including “healthcare”, “education”, etc. Basically a list of things of which none are mentioned in the Constitution.
We have bred a generation that believes all glory and power is bestowed by the Federal government.

Somebody should make a database of all his lies. If only we could tap that vast Soros warchest, we could retire thousandaires.

Just had a late breaking question. (blonde)
“we could retire thousandaires”
Is that before tax, or after?
