This interesting bit of news from the Washington Post:

GOP Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma is holding up a food saftey bill because he’s afraid it will add to the deficit.

All the more reason to have home gardens and raise your own chickens….

GOP senator says he will hold up food safety bill

WASHINGTON — A Republican senator is threatening to hold up food safety legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration more power to prevent outbreaks, saying Democrats must find a way to pay for it.

Sure, this is a food "safety" bill just like the "stimulus" was a "jobs bill".

The charade is over.

The stimulus bill was exactly that. Designed to stimulate economic activity. A jobs bill is a micro bill. A stimulus is a macro bill.

Maybe you SHOULD have gone to public school. Those tutors taught you dick.

And it was a miserable failure. The only thing it "stimulated" were the salivary glans of power hungry politicians and government bureaucrats.

Maybe failure was a word you failed to learn.

Ask your buddy Nebby...he has a fine and dandy chart which proves that the stim worked.

What the F does that mean? Oh, I know. It means you can no longer defend this nonsense but you are too proud to admit that you were wrong.

Growth has turned positive...we are no longer bleeding jobs...all incipient evidence puts to a) we've at worst troughed or b) turned slightly upward and that c) both the stim and the bailouts worked.

So, why not tell me - with you vast store of internationally attained knowledge - what you believe should ahve been done in Jan and Feb of last year and what the results today would have been.

In other words, buck up. Let's hear YOUR plan as of 1/09.

we are no longer bleeding jobs

465,000 new jobless claims last week is not bleeding jobs?

As I've been saying, the three month long "recovery" was over in July.

Next year will be much worse unless 3 things happen: A.) the GOP gains control of Congress, B.) the GOP has actually learned their lesson and embarks on a program of spending cuts and tax simplification, and C.) Obama goes along to save his Presidency.

Otherwise, we're screwed.
