Theme Song for Obama’s Democrats
“Money, Money, Money, Can You Use Any Money Today?”

by

It has now seems likely that Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives will break their promise to “delay any vote until the final conference agreement had been posted online for 48 hours.“  Even one House Democratic leader suggested that his Senate counterparts “don’t know everything that’s in the bill.“   And one the boondoggle’s few Republican backers believes it needed more time for hearings.

So, as a Democratic Congress is about to vote on a multi-hundred billion dollar package before most Representatives and Senators are even familiar with its contents, not to mention the American people who will be paying for it, let me provide a clip of Ethel Merman singing what should become the theme song for Obama’s Washington (which I previously provided here).

The song begins at the 2-minute mark:

Just like the Queen in Alice in Wonderland who had only one way of “had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small,” so do Democrats have only way of facing difficulties, great and small. That queen favored decapitation, Democrats increased government spending.

  1. Boy, she sure looks good.

    Imagine the general not wanting to borrow money because it has to be paid back. How quaint.

    I wonder how long it will be before America defaults all the way down the black hole…China is sure to show up soon.

  2. Oh, come on–surely we can be more gay than that:

    “Money, money, money, must be funny
    in a rich man’s world
    money, money, money, always sunny
    in a rich man’s world

    I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
    ain’t it sad
    and still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
    that’s too bad
    in my dreams I have a plan, if I got me a wealthy man
    I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball”

    That’s the stimulus plan in a nutshell, isn’t it?

    Or, for the truly gay:

    “Money makes the world go ’round, the world go ’round, the world go ’round
    money makes the world go ’round
    that clinking, clanking sound
    it makes the world go ’round”

  5. What strikes me about the “Stimulus” is this: The cause of this recession was that people went on a spending binge, and ran up unsustainable amounts of debt to support it. Obama’s proposed solution is… running up unsustainable debt to support a spending binge.

    He’s not fixing the problem, he’s digging a deeper hole.

  7. I think the song for the StealFromUs Package should be “A Spoonful Of Sugar” because this bill is like Mary Poppins’s handbag–every day there is a list of new, shocking items discovered within. I don’t get it. Who actually wrote this thing? It’s as if for the entire Bush Presidency, Nancy Pelosi had a clip board on the outside of her office door (like a signup sheet for a potluck) and the liberals just spent 8 years putting random things on the list–$14 billion for public service announcements showing polar bears sitting on icebergs looking depressed; $88 million for research into how to make Cheetos even cheesier!; $1 billion for a series of art installations in national parks re-creating scenes from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon series; $100 million for just ONE MORE Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie; $14 billion to fund research to determine whether plants have feelings; $22 billion to fund a national sex toy museum; and on and on and on!

    Would someone, somewhere, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this f-ing bill?!

  8. I wish those House and Senate BlueDogs or Democrats who in general, who have deep reservations about this bill, would have the courage to say, “not so fast”. Libertarians, Independents, Conservative and other Fiscally-Conservative Democrats (in general, Americans) would celebrate their courage. They wouldn’t have to worry about their fellow Democrats because the support they’d receive in standing in their truth would be exponentially greater.

  10. He’s not fixing the problem, he’s digging a deeper hole.

    I dread the extra pain that puts us in, but the silver lining is, Obama is re-branding the Democrats as the absolute face of reckless spending and Giant Government. Or, as Newsweek admitted just this week, “We [i.e., they] Are All Socialists Now.”

    The cause of this recession was that people went on a spending binge, and ran up unsustainable amounts of debt to support it. [Democrats’] solution is… running up unsustainable debt to support a spending binge.

    They’re addicts. The addict says, “You’re right, I can’t pay my rent and have to get into rehab. But I need to do some stuff first, and one more, really great fix will make me feel good enough to get stuff done. So come on, dude, one more fix.” Nothing changes until the Chinese landlord finally kicks him out.

  13. #5: “He’s not fixing the problem, he’s digging a deeper hole.”

    When the liberals talk about the “shovel ready” jobs that were going to be created, I had no idea they were talking about Congress and the Presidency.

  17. “$100 million for just ONE MORE Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie; $14 billion to fund research to determine whether plants have feelings; $22 billion to fund a national sex toy museum; and on and on and on!”

    does making movies create jobs? not just for those rich directors and actors, but how about for the cameramen, the make-up artists, set desginers, etc.? how about the movie theaters that will carry the movie? then, if the movie is a big hit and attracts lots of viewers, people will spend money on not only the ticket, but on gas to drive there, popcorn, candy, soda, and all those other overpriced concessions. who knows, people might even go out to dinner before the movie. are you seeing the point? STIMULATIVE SPENDING

    somehow i imagine there is more to the research about plants than what you’re claiming, but last time i checked, doing research requires a researcher, which is a job. and sometimes, just sometimes, scientific research leads to a huge breakthrough.

    a national sex museum? haven’t heard about this one, but i imagine the people contracted to build the museum, the people profiting from selling the raw materials, etc. would agree that that is stimulative.

    in other words, you guys are picking out things that sound ridiculous (and maybe they are ridiculous-sounding), but just about everything in the bill is, whether you like it or not, stimulus. just because you don’t like the sound of it, that doesn’t mean it’s not stimulative spending or that it’s “pork.” if we were building a museum dedicated to ann coulter, that would still be stimulative even if disgusting to a liberal. get it? you can make a moral or philosophical argument that government spending is wrong if you want, but you cannot make a valid economic argument. just about every responsible economist — liberal or conservative — agrees that the return from spending is greater than the return from tax cuts. tax cuts can be very stimulative if done correctly, but the problem is that in a recession, people don’t spend the extra money. they save it or they pay off debt. orrr they go on a trip to italy or something. generally we get back about 40 cent for every dollar spent on tax cuts, whereas we get back about $1.40 from direct spending, thanks to the multiplier effect. there is all kinds of empirical research on this. please do your research.

    now does that mean this thing will be a sweeping success? no, unfortunately no one can know for sure what’s going to happen. the majority of top economists agree, however, that doing nothing would probably lead to a decade-long recession, and the senate republican alternative of all tax cuts would be a disaster.

  19. #17 – “Only a complete boob would think $200K per job and an additional $6,000 of debt for every American was a great deal.”

    See #16 above for the illustration.
