Stimulus Collusion

“The House and Senate bills each include about $200 million in additional funding for inspectors general. But some observers say that may be insufficient given the demands.” When the government attempts to “stimulate” the economy by spending, inherently the amount spent has a built in feature to skim lots of that money right of the top. The $200 million is to be spent on people watching the people that dole this money out. The people that dole that money out will also need to be paid, so right away a large amount is being spent just on the action of spending.

Then there is another issue. If the people that do the doling out can’t be trusted how can the inspectors be trust since they are being hired by the same people that hired those to be watched? Remember those that do the hiring are representatives of the recipients of the money. ACORN is to get a lot of money. ACORN is a friend of the government, can we all say collusion? The more the government controls the more controls are necessary. Government involvement always includes government control leading to wasteful use of resources. What ever percentage of this bill may stimulate the economy, a large portion will be used up by the government.

We may not be able to stop this bill but we must stop the politicians that are pushing this country towards an unsustainable system doomed to failure. We can work to remove those with socialist agendas and replace them with those in touch with reality and promoting capitalist democracy.
