Rumor has it that production is being slowed way down too.

Hmmmm - maybe I should buy that Z-22 that I've been looking at now

If they're smart, telling their congresscritters to say yes to whatever
stimulus spending Obama proposes.

Are you REALLY so damned stupid that you'd say yes to "whatever"
without knowing fully what that was? How can you be so dumb to ASSume
that everything Obama proposes will be the right thing?

I now know three liberals who automatically assume any spending Obama does
will be OK. Sounds strange, but Harry is not the first.

Actually, I think it has nothing to do with Obama. It's just the idea that
more government spending will equal more government control (over
something), which means a bigger government, which means a bigger AFGE,
which means more votes.
