The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Wed, 28 Jan 2009 02:00:39 +0000

Going into bankrauptcy is the best thing that can happen to the auto industry. they can break the union contracts, get rid of the huge bonuses for the management and make the car companies more competive.
Further, many of the projects that are in the bill won’t jump start the economy until 2010 or 2011. Why not do something immediate like tax cuts stimulus checks, if you are going to blow that money.
And how does family planning fit into this. This is just Democrat party pork. And yes, the Gop was almost as bad.

I heard a nobel prize winning economist address this the other day. He said, in effect, so what? The economy is in the tank for another two to three years. The fact that some of these plans only come to fruition then is no bad thing.
So what’s your plan? Let the banks fail, let the automakers go belly up, watch unemployment reach double digits, and rest easy in the knowledge that the market fill fix all?
