Boehner comment on stimulus package |
|
"The sooner we get this relief in the hands of the American people, the sooner they can begin to do their job of being good consumers," Boehner said.

2. "do their job of being good consumers" |
|
I've frequently believed that the GOP loved America primarily because of its consumer market. It doesn't care about the people, the land, the children, the future - just the pocketbook.

We are of value to the precise extent that we consume. No more, no less. Our freedom is the freedom to buy (and even this is being curtailed with "license agreements" and restrictive terms & conditions.) All choice, whether social, economic, or political has been reduced to "Coke or Pepsi?"
As a modern Descartes might say, "I buy therefore I am."

It makes you just want to slap the shit out of him doesn't it? They don't even see us as people anymore.
Feel Like A Number
I take my card and I stand in line To make a buck I work overtime Dear sir letters keep coming in the mail I work my back till its racked with pain The boss cant even recall my name I show up late and Im docked It never fails I feel like just another Spoke in a great big wheel Like a tiny blade of grass In a great big field To workers Im just another drone To ma bell Im just another phone Im just another statistic on a sheet To teachers Im just another child To irs Im just another file Im just another consensus on the street Gonna cruise out of this city Head down to the sea Gonna shout out at the ocean Hey its me And I feel like a number Feel like a number Feel like a stranger A stranger in this land I feel like a number Im not a number Im not a number Dammit Im a man I said Im a man

14. You said "Boehner" and "stimulus" in the same headline. |
|
Good Show!
Would this be manual relief, Boehner? How much should we expect to spend?

15. The Boner "package" is limp - no amount of stimulus will help |
|

"...The sooner we get this relief in the hands of the American people..."
To Boner, it may be a source of relief. But I don't think the American people want that in their hands.

Our household will not be "consuming" anything. It'll go straight into the bank as a cd.
