I heard the morning's news reports; They're saying the Stimulus Package Bill is a "Done Deal". What they mean is that the Senators, and the Congressmen have made the bad medicine more palatable, and now it's ready to become a reality. Everyone will be satisfied: The politicians will get more money for their pet projects, and the bankers will get more funds to add to their coffers; Everyone will be satisfied, except the taxpayers who will have to foot the Bill. This will in effect drain the nation's resources beyond its defunct state. This will be possibly be the beginning of the end for the United States of America. Yet, the Maddoff swindle is derided as greed and malice, something that should not be tolerated. However, what the government is doing in collusion with the banks is considered a necessary evil. Are we to believe this convoluted riddle?
The Bill is just what they call it; A bill is what we're being handed, such as a bill of goods, or an additional bill you're responsible for. They get Bills, as in Dollars; Meanwhile, you get billed as in debt!
Maddoff's malevolent scheme was fraud. But, the Stimulus Package Bill is bad medicine to prevent a catastrophe, a cataclysm even. Wait, haven't we heard this same language used recently? So, change means more of the same? Don't you just hate these semantic, rhetorical ploys? I sure do! Especially, when they say one person's misappropriation of someone else's funds is a Ponzi Scheme, and another they call a Done Deal.
Remember, they all begin with Bill.
House and Senate Bill (+++++)
Billions of Dollars ($$$$$)
You get the Bill (-----)
P.S. The bill supposedly will allocate $46 Billion for the states; According to the latest reports just one state, California, is said to have a $43 Billion budget deficit!
