pelosi attempts to extract $100b+ from own anus

madam speaker, are you FUCKING RETARDED?

"It's clear there is a need for a second stimulus," Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters at a news conference.

"The president has for a long time been in denial on the state of the economy," she said.

Bush, backed by fellow Republicans in Congress, has indicated he wants to wait and see how the first stimulus package works before looking at another one.

"I don't think that we have that amount of time," Pelosi said. "There are indications that this downturn is steeper than it was when we created the first stimulus package."


yeah, pelosi, it is. but let me explain something to you about money, and namely our financial situation: WE DON'T FUCKING HAVE ANY.

look nancy, i know you're a politician, and you have to pander to your voters in order to save face for the fact that you're completely toothless and neutered against the logically sound and popularly supported bush administration, but we are NINE TRILLION DOLLARS in debt.

that's (as of around noon pacific today) $30,772.80 for every man, woman, and child who is a citizen of the united states.

now let me explain something to you, madam speaker. let's say we all get another $600 stimulus check, like you're suggesting. last i heard, we haven't had a budget surplus since the clinton administration, so here's our two options:

1) get the fed to print more money with their magic money machine. sadly, the kinks still have to be worked out, as making more money somehow makes each individual dollar worth less.
2) borrow it from the chinese...thus making our per capita national debt...
drum roll please...
$31,372.80!

you want me to forgive you for being an idiot? impeach bush and cheney and try them for war crimes.

seriously, that's all i ask.

The idea that I can afford to pay the gub'mnt an extra 1200 bucks in tax money next year is as short-sighted as it is ridiculous.

Your anger, while valid, leaves out this one very important note:

We're not borrowing this money. The government is handing out UNFUCKINGSOLICITED TAX LOANS to all their citizens.

So as to "where we're going to get the money," Nancy already has a plan. She plans to fuck every citizen of the country right out of it next April.

In her defense, by then her political career will be so dead in the water, it won't be her mess to clean up.

that's incorrect.

"False reports have circulated that the stimulus checks are an advance on your tax rebate and were going to cut into your tax rebate. That's not the whole story. Yes, it's an advance, but it's an advance on an additional credit Congress passed for your 2008 earned income. It's too late to do that for 2007, seeing as it's already over. "So the government is making me borrow from myself?!?!?" No. Congress is giving your 2009 self a $600 credit, and is sending that $600 back in time by one year."

Well, what if I am not working next year? How are they going to get my money back?

the analyst said...

they're not. if you are eligible for MORE next year, they'll give you more. if you're eligible for less, there's no change.
