STIMULUS FATIGUE

By Charlie Sykes

The problem with socialists, Margaret Thatcher once famously observed, is that sooner or later, they run out of other people's money.

Americans seem to be understanding that now. Rasmussen finds the public with a bad case of stimulus, debt, deficit, porkulus fatigue.

 [A] new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 22% of Americans favor providing federal bailout funds to states with serious financial problems. Fifty-eight percent (58%) oppose giving bailout money to financially troubled states.

On top of that, 56% of Americans oppose the passage of another economic stimulus package this year. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional Democrats are hoping to spend more to combat unemployment, just 33% favor another stimulus plan.

    Sorry socialists (and by that I also mean to include the many Democrats who are having trouble admitting they are socialists), money is out. Tax payers have had enough. Socialists are standing in the way of providing any future to our children, let alone a positive future. The enemy is not insurance companies or the rich, the enemy of jobs and the American way of life are the taxers.

    You would think the taxpayers of this country are fed up and will throw the Dems out in the next elections. However, I predict the Dems will keep power in 2010 and 2012 because the people who are on the receiving end of the spending will outnumber those who are at the paying end. Also, the Dems have an ace up their sleeve: Amensty for illegals. 30 to 40 million new Democrat voters with the stroke of a pen, that is if they're not voting illegally already.

    My sentiments exactly. Too many people living at the taxpayer trough and the dems know it.

    Why don't the rich states help the poor states? That would be called OSM (Other States Money).
