Who's on First?

You just have to laugh when you remember the comedy skit "Who's on First" with Abbott and Costello (1945), when the exchange "Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third" goes on and on and on. . . .

It's not so funny in 2009, when you hear conflicting statements from President Obama and Vice President Biden concerning the $787 Billion Dollar Stimulus Package (your tax dollars) that had to be passed immediately in February 2009, or we would all be standing in food lines, the crops would dry up, and the sun would no longer shine. . . .

President Obama, 11/24/08: ". . . .we need a big stimulus package that will jolt the economy back into shape. . . . "

President Obama, 2/09: "the federal government is the only entity left with the resources to jolt our economy back to life."

Vice President Biden, New York Times, 7/26/09: "The act was intended to provide steady support for our economy over an extended period - not a jolt that would last only a few months."

In the five months since the stimulus bill passed, only 10% of the money has been spent to stimulate the economy? "The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing" in Washington, DC. . . .

To "jolt", or "not to jolt": the "economy". . . . now that is the question
