Stop the world and let me off! Insanity they say is repeating the same process over and over hoping for a different result. Ignorance is repeating the same process over and over knowing nothing will ever change. Congress votes to continue spending millions of dollars to build and erect signs to place on our highways to alert taxpayers the they robbed you of $787 billion dollars in what that deem a “stimulus” package to save our economy. How’s that working out by the way?
I simply don’t get it! I really don’t and I’ve tried. This summer I drove to Maine – my usual 2 month hiatus in the woods of Maine. In August I made the return trip. During these trips and some shorter ones I took while in Maine, is where I first witnessed these insane signs plastered along highways letting me know my stimulus money is at work. Like I didn’t know this.
I keep asking myself, are we this stupid? When I see this, it tells me the entire stimulus effort is a farce. It’s a political farce. Only a moron, and evidently there are at least 52 in the U.S. Senate, would piss off a few million dollars in an attempt to somehow elevate their own status by building and erecting signs for this purpose.
Doug Powers, writing on Michelle Malkin’s blog, has a great suggestion.
If we insist on paying money for signs bragging about where money is being wasted, how about a few million to put up some “Buffoon at Work” signs outside some Senate offices? If there’s a more necessary make-work program, I have yet to see it.
I’m waiting to see who the first idiot is who says that hiring a company to make the signs and put them up is part of the stimulus plan. Come on! Bring it on!
