#1 If he gave my brother and I $50B we could start a company that would employ 20,000+

Thats probably way more than the 'fiscal stimulus' will ever be able to claim.

But I guess that would be missing the point altogether.

The only CIA agent to ever defect to Cuba was Phillip Agee

He was in charge of the South American Desk. Under, I think, Johnson he was asked to do an analysis of the difference between the Democrat and the Republican party. His conclusion was that ...they were both made controlled by rich elites that were exploiting most of the people. The difference was that the Democratic Elites felt guilty about being exploiters so they were constantly inventing ways to transfer money to the current group they were feeling most guilty about. The Republican elites didn't feel that guilt. Other than that he saw no difference. Then he defected to that Worker's Paradise of CUBA were EVERYTHING IS SHABBY AND AWFUL! While there he wrote his tome "Inside the CIA".

The point of this response being.... just like TV content being vacuous so to are the political parties. And being vacuous they can't help to help themselves to the taxpayers money as they fiddle about like Uncle Ernie....
and if your a democrat you assuage your guilt and improve your chances with the Next Deprived community by giving My money to Your Favorite Guilty party.
In this case it will be on works projects that put illegal Mexican's to work (the so called "jobs American's nie Whites won't do".)

#7 "Hopium"

Decays into Bureaucratium. Hopium's half life is about 9 to 24 months. Bureaucratium's half life has yet to be determined.

#9 "Blunders a not the merest of chance. They are the result of suppressed desires and conflicts. They are ripples on the surface of life, produced by unsuspected springs. And these may be very deep - as deep as the soul itself."

Ummm, besoeker. It may be prophetic, but the Interstates 65 and 85 just each got an additional two lanes through Montgomery Alabama, both were just widened, and they're almost finished (Both await a new finish coat of Asphalt) and that, plus painting is all that's left to do.
Both also got New "Jersey Bariers" through the city as well.
