Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says,
"I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?"

The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed.

At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.

They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed.

The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.

The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.

The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"

The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.

However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"

The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."

I wonder what Obama's definition of a "pet project" and an "earmark" are?
He stated emphatically that this bill contained none of those.

I guess we are back to the day so of "it depends upon what your definition of is is"…

so, you think this $800,000,000,000 stimulus is going to help you out when its passed do you??
i mean that is what the MSM and Nobama is telling you isn't it??
so that has to be the case….

WRONG!

800 Billion Reasons To Be Worried

it is shameful and downright unlawful for the government of this great nation to pander off Socialism in the name of "recovery"…
If you don't wake up and realize what is going on this country soon, you nor I will have the opportunity to do anything besides move somewhere else if we want to live with the idea we can become prosperous simply by working hard and "doing the right thing" as our grandparents and past generations have…
this isn't about Democratic or Republican anymore…
this is about the very fabric of our existence as a nation for more than 232+ years….
all of that will be gone in a matter of months should this current administration continue with its current efforts…

Now that he finally has his own shown on an un-biased network, Glenn Beck is having some fun at the expense of the American people. For those buying into the "Attitude of Change" by your "Messiah" Obama, you really should wake up and realize what the Liberals are truly doing to this country.
