It was Lawrence Reed, President of the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, New York and also former President of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland , Michigan who wrote, "The pork-laden national disgrace being sold as a "stimulus bill" may say more about the country that swallows it than it does those who passed it. If Americans can be suckered into shackling themselves and future generations with trillions of dollars in new debt, shame on us."

Yes, and if America can be sold into allowing the hard leftists of our land to pushing down its throat a series of unread bills which will bankrupt its future for generations to come then one might say that through our dysfunctional educational system there has been success in the socialists indoctrination process whereby our people have no concept as to the difference between the free enterprise system, socialism and communism. We are in the throes of a cultural dissonance never before seen in this country. The indoctrination has come full circle.

Democrats may take offense at this assertion, but to do so they will have to counter the remarks of James Steele, Communist Party USA Legislative Director in the eighties who said, "In the absence of a mass-based third party, it is possible and necessary for the people's movement to make use of the Democratic Party in the struggle for reforms." Let's face it....... the Democrat Party was, is and has become the party of Lenin.

And now with the stimulus package we find a paradox in terms. To continue expenditures at a minimum rate of one third more than projected income and being called a stimulant to the economy is probably one of the most disastrous fiscal strategies ever devised by man. That is just the tip of the iceberg and should not be surprising. The so-called stimulus bill, without even being read, was passed in the House and the Senate in a manner suggestive of tyranny. A hodge podge of Socialist pork is expected to stimulate the economy as gasoline thrown on a fire is expected to extinguish the flames. These are our elected officials who wish to completely control our property, our money, our labor and our lives

The aim is not to pull out of the deficit. The aim is to continue on a tried and true road to economic failure since in so doing it will require more and more taxation which will of certainty wipe out the money from most and eventually destroy the middle class. This, of course, leads to more dependency on government. A government which now implies that it has a right to an unlimited claim on the wealth of all people.

The same as with the red herring thrown to our gullible and ill-informed news media as the Health Care Reform Bill. The total framework has nothing to do with medical insurance for all as it has to do with more governmental power over the lives of people. Their lack of caring for human life was adequately depicted when it was evident that part of the package included death panels. Yes, you sit down with government incompetent lackeys and discuss how and when you wish to die.
