Congress: NO STIMULUS!!!
10 February 2009
“Federal intervention rests on the presumption that officials know how to manage the economy and will use this knowledge effectively. This presumption always had a shaky foundation, and we have recently witnessed even more compelling evidence that the government simply does not know what it’s doing. The big bailout bill enacted last October; the Federal Reserve’s massive, frantic lending for many different purposes; and now the huge stimulus package all look like wild flailing – doing something mainly for the sake of being seen to be doing something – and, of course, enriching politically connected interests in the process.”

That’s right folks, he voted against THE PATRIOT ACT! This man is my new hero.
An awesome idea from Dr. Paul

But it will sadly fail because there are too many fiscally irresponsible representatives in our Democratic-controlled Congress (not that the Repubs would do much better…)
