Rough Times

Start drinking now, we're gambling away your futures

Attention please, the global economy is tanking, and we're sacrificing the welfare of future generations to save our own.

Wrong approach.

Tough decisions need to be made. We must sacrifice now in order to save the future. This means heavy investment in infrastructure, particularly wireless broadband, green energy, renewable energy, and research and development and various fronts of science and technology.

Two weeks of debates on the economic stimulus package and still we're arguing on what to spend on. Democrats want to waste money to fund their pet social programs while republicans have nothing to offer but whining and more tax cuts. Here's the list of cuts that brought about the current compromise. Some of them makes you smack your forehead and ask why the fu*k was that on there in the first place. Others make you smack your forehead and ask why the fu*k would you cut that. Nothing has changed in Washington.
