HERE COMES

President Bush's "stimulus" package:  "the stipend of at least $300 would be paid to all workers receiving a paycheck, even those who did not earn enough to pay taxes last year."

Time to speed up the software running this:

The Gross National Debt:

Looks like we're fated to relive the 1970s.  Don't be surprised is by the end of the year George Bush isn't wearing flare pants and a "Whip Inflation Now" button.  The only explanation I can come up for all this is that Bush went through the 70s drunk (semi-confessed) or stoned on cocaine (rumored) and he thinks he's doing this for the first time.

The reason drug use during the 1970s should be a disqualifier for President is because the 1970s was the great period of economic education for the American people,  the golden moment in time when people learned that price controls don't work, Keynesian economics doesn't work, welfare doesn't work -- and the only thing that does work is the American economy when the shackles are taken off, as they were in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the transportation and energy sectors.  The only current candidates we have good reason to believe didn't use drugs during the 1970s are Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and  John McCain.
