6 SEP 2010, Labor Day

• Groundhog Day...reliving the same thing again and again and again and....
• Infrastructure spending to "repair our crumbling roads and bridges", as pitched in Obama's Stimulus in 2009, was less than 20% of the entire package.  While most of the spending was transfer payments to states and unemployment insurance.
• Heck!  We haven't even finished spending the first humongous stimulus yet.
• Now, the administration is back pitching infrastructure as the savior...interestingly within 2 months of the mid-term elections.  Hmmmm...OK...OK, I'm the constant skeptic.  This is obviously another attempt to throw something against the wall to see if it sticks.  They'll keep doing this until they can actually claim credit for something...it seems.  Remember the "Summer of Recovery" theme?  Didn't seem to work...so, throw something else up there until it works!
• I'm tired of forever indebting our kids to save our ass.  Time to take one for the team, take the tough medicine, and actually give our kids a chance.
• But I'm a fool, apparently.
