Sometimes I wonder if we truly are living in Bizarro World. You know, the world where right is wrong, bad is good, and an economic stimulus is a massive spending spree. For crying out loud!

Stimulus bill may add highway, transit funds

WASHINGTON (AP) - Top Democrats plan to add a big increase in highway and mass transit funding to President Barack Obama's economic recovery program Tuesday, even as others in the president's party hope to rein in the plan's almost $1 trillion cost to taxpayers.

The bailout being considered is very similar to the "solution" suggested in this parody. We're living in Bizarro World folks.

It astounds me that Congressman Kind gets away with making such statements.  If he didn't like the bill then why did he vote for it?  When he says that doing nothing is not an option what is that supposed to mean?  Republicans offered an excellent alternative that was heavy on giving taxpayers their own money back.  This would have had an almost immediate boost on the economy but, unfortunately, President Obama and the Democrats in Congress wouldn't compromise.

President Obama states that only government can fix the economy. Wrong. Government will screw it up even worse.

It looks like the Democrats will insist on these new government entanglements that will only weaken our economy in the long term.

It is disappointing that my congressman, Ron Kind (D-La Crosse), refuses to listen to the common sense approach of letting American taxpayers keep the money that they earn so they can have the power to strengthen the economy through natural economic behavior.

This government approach did not work for F.D.R. and it will not work for President Obama.
