Our government, first under the auspices of George W. Bush and now Barack H. Obama, began a shopping spree in the trillions to bail out failed business models. They are using wealth that has yet to be created (we are going in debt) and taxpayer money (hard-earned dollars confiscated from us).
After Sept. 11, 2001, this country was in shock. People were afraid to fly; no one was sure what lay ahead. During this time, Bush told us to go shopping and live life as normal. For this, he was mocked.
Now, we find ourselves in an economic crisis, and what is our government doing? Essentially, it is going shopping, purchasing roads, bridges, failed banks, suffering automakers and whatever else trillions of dollars can buy.
Bush says go shopping, and he is ridiculed. Obama basically says go shopping, and he is hailed as a genius.
Doesn't make sense or cents. Go figure.
If you do want to shop, this song from BNL might put you in the mood.
