It's the government. They're spending money when the economy is in the tank to try to help. Color me shocked.

OK, so let the Congress tell the truth then:

We have no idea if it will work at all.
We also know we can't ever pay it back since we didn't have any money to pay back the lesser sum we had before this year.
If we can't pay it back the dollar will fail.
To put together this bill we asked every idiot Democrat congressman what he or she wants, we didn't call it an earmark, but we just added it up and produced over a thousand pages no one read.
We got three idiot Republicans in the Senate to go along, so now we can call it bipartisan.
Oh, and even though all we did was add up everyone's pipe dream into one bill, we can feign moral superiority and our condescension toward the average American citizen is well justified.

That about sums it up. There are lots of things the government does that are questions marks at the start...we don't know if they'll work. War. Science programs. Anything. You name it. But we try because someone elected thinks it will work and thinks it's the best idea. That's sort of how these things work. You got me Iraq. I got you this bill.

We'll see how it plays out.
