Biden Never Thought Stimulus Would Work This Well

During a conference call with 55 governors, territorial officials or their designees, Vice President Joe Biden enthusiastically effused about Obama's stimulus plan: “In my wildest dreams, I never thought it would work this well.”

Really?

They promised this would prevent unemployment from reaching 8% and we are now pushing double digits. They vowed that it would not require another tax hike but we now know that was a lie. They claimed that the package would avoid special interest and pork spending, but the congressional pet projects in this spending orgy look like a sleazy Webkinz convention. They said it would not create deficit spending but the current projections calculate deficit spending over the next 10 years that is close to equalling the total deficit spending that was created over the past 200 years.

If Biden never thought the stimulus package "would work this well," I wonder what exactly they were planning for this country.

    And we can play CAN YOU TOP THIS? when we consider that Evan Bayh said,today, that something we COULD do in Afghanistan is "pay the Taliban to do what we want them to do, like the Brits did for years!"

    Wait. Sure worked for the Brits like magic and changed that country all around, huh? Hey, let's AMERICAN DO IT (WHAT?)

    the left's around for comic relief.
