Death By A Trillion Cuts

Not wanting to let a good crisis go to waste, congressional democrats are considering another stimulus package designed to stimulate the other stimulus package.

At meeting of the ironically-named Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, democrats heard from a variety of economists and policy wonks who convinced them that the surefire way to prosperity is to take the country deeper into debt.

“We have to keep the door open,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “the word of the day is confidence. Confidence in our markets, confidence in lending, confidence in our financial institutions.”

No Nan. The word of the day is “Weimar Republic”.
