Congress: Where It's Fine Not To Learn From Mistakes

The first stimulus package isn't working as advertised. Wow! What a surprise!

The unemployment rate is now higher than President Obama said it would be if we had done NOTHING! Huh? Everyone involved in this shennanigan is now admitting "it hasn't done what we thought it would". The key people responsible for it are saying that's because "we didn't really understand what was going on in the economy". Oh yeah, that makes me feel better about it!

The self-proclaimed experts guaranteed us that we HAD TO do something immediately. In fact, it was so urgent that they chose not to take time to read the bill! Assumed it would work because you-know-who created it. Didn't have the necessary expertise or knowledge to construct a bill that would actually work and didn't have time to try to understand and discuss what it would do once it was written? Doesn't that represent incompetence and irresponsibility on a mind-boggling scale? Hello?

But that's not the best part! Now they say that just means they need to do it again! Huh? Where is the logic in that? First they admit incompetence at understanding the problem, then they say they want to do it again. This result shouldn't be a surprise because every time government has tried to fix an ailing economy in the past via an increase in taxing, spending and debt it didn't work. Every time it has tried stimulating the economy by decreasing taxing, spending and debt it has worked. Let's see, what should LOGIC and COMMON SENSE tell us about this? Hmmmm. Is this Bizzaro World or what?
