Those of you who continue to choke on the numbers (as do we all), who have beeen wanting to put on the brakes here, you’ve got to undertand what the economic stimulous plan is about. Simply:

People have stopped buying my widgets because they’ve been laid off, or fear they soon will be. No widget sales, no money for me. But I have two sons who need money for college and the roof is leaking and threatens to get worse. I have only enough money for either the materials to repair the roof, or to pay for my sons’ education. The solution:

I hire my sons to help me fix the roof and maybe a few other chores that I’ve neglected; then give them the money for school. Their teachers and all the workers at their school can now afford my widgets. My sons graduate as a lawyer and a business man and put me into the best nursing home in Florida -Friday night pizza and young nurses.

That’s Obama’s plan, and it’s a good one. It’s scary, but the infrastructure of country has been for too long neglected. The roof is really leaking. The Republicans and their corporate masters have raped the country for far too long, decimating the middle class, which has always been the backbone of America’s strength.

This is our one and last chance to make things right and to return us to the greatness I knew as a boy. We must return this country from the nearly third-world status it now holds in most areas by which civilization is judged and once again to become the becon to all mankind can achieve.
