The Anchoress on the $13 a week stimulus windfall:
I just have one thing to ask:
What does Michelle Obama suggest we do – how we will stimulate the economy with our $13?
As I recall, when there was a $600.00 stimulus check rolling down the pike a while back, Mrs. Obama rather sneered at it:
“You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month..
Barack’s approach is that the short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good. And it may even feel good that first month when you get that check. And then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”
Hmmmm…forget earrings…I’m not sure I understand how $13.00 a week, reduced to $8.00 a week in January, will do much for “paying down every bill every month.” $54 per month (or $32), when offset by the increased taxes that will come from ending the infamous Bush Tax Cuts – which stimulated us out of a recession and brought 7 years of unimpeded growth before this time-suspect strangeness occurred and the additional tax increases that will accompany our ramped-up spending, plus the million little laws, fees and fines that will eat into our incomes…help me out, I’m not really seeing the stimulus, here.
Read the whole excellent thing, right here.
I am convinced Rush reads this post. Or did you listen to Rush?
Because this was on Rush today almost word for word.
Somebody oughtta tell Michelle Obummer that with $13, you can get a cheap pair of earrings every week at the Opa-Locka/hialeah Flea Market (Opa-Locka, Hialeah is the place to go…).
$52.00 dollars a month minus taxes. Whoopee!!!!
