Pelosi wants another government handout--this time it will go directly into the pockets of regular citizens instead of into the bad paper collected by big financial organizations. To which I say, “Thanks! Keep that free money comin’.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday during a trip to Denver that an economic stimulus plan of $150 billion is needed now because of the faltering economy and she may call the House into session after the election to pass it.

Pelosi told reporters that the stock market meltdown, which has caused an estimated $2 trillion loss from pension funds, was a factor in her recommendation for a second stimulus bill. The first relief plan sent out $600-$1,200 tax rebate checks to most individuals and couples this year.

Dig this: why am I making out so good in this equation (and in that earlier $600 handout)? Easy. Not only is that money not likely to come out of my taxes--my tax money will be busy paying for other bits of the deficit until the day I die. Those handouts are coming out of our children’s pockets. Or, to be more specific, your children’s pockets.

Every time the government sends me a handout in a year where we’re running a deficit, that’s money stolen from your kids.

Cool, huh?

All I can say is, “Thanks faceless, nameless masses for your contribution to my continued XBox and good booze addictions.”

(And, yes, I know; it’s called hyperbole.)
