"Stimulus package."

This idea that government is the answer, as Obama believes, is deeply rooted in the mindset. I always laugh to the point of straining my orbs when the government talks as if it's an agile business.

Hey, if they think more regulation, nationalization, bail outs and other assortments of econo-mancy is needed all the power to them. Just don't pass it off as "change."
Stimulus package. Funny guys.

Me: I need a piece of paper.
Them: Ok. No problem.
Me: Great please fax it to me or send an attachment by email.
Them: That won't be possible.
Me: Why not?
Them: Sorry.
Me: Fine. I'll just come and pick it up.
Them: Haha. Funny guy. We'll mail it.

ReplyDeleteBut how to do so when the wrong message has become the rule? Government intervention has become an article of faith now. Especially with the alleged failure of capitalism.
People are more informed but are they critically assessing it?
