Kill The Bill: SNL and Some Wise Words
The effort to kill the bill is still underway, despite a compromise by 3 Northeast Liberals GOP Senators which is keeping the filibuster off the table in the Senate, for now. Susan Collins, one of the two turncoat Republican Senators from Maine, has been shilling for the bill, while at the same time saying she might vote against a high-spending version of it. Is $700 billion not too high? Does it have to go up to a trillion? As “Nancy Pelosi” said on Saturday Night Live, they’d take a trillion if they could:
While Fake Nancy overstates how bad things were under the Republican Congress (which nearly bent over backwards to push through amnesty and to reject President Bush’s social security plan), she accurately states her current mentality, “we won, get over it!”. To show how important this issue is, I’m going to turn to the wise words of a man who I think is a kook on some other issues, Texas Rep. Ron Paul. The fiscal hawk ripped Collins, Snowe, and Specter a new one while framing the issue perfectly:
“We have to blame both parties and presidents of the last several decades to have generated this huge government.”
Paul said that he agrees that the economy needs to be stimulated but that he doesn’t think the federal government should be doing it.
“Sure, we want more spending,” Paul said. “We need a lot more spending in the economy, but it has to be done by market forces, by individuals, by businesses making proper decisions.”
How clever … you know how to use the strike through. Good thing you crossed it out - considering calling them Liberals would be entirely inaccurate.
Save face.
