Daily Kos: Oh, And A Pony, Too. With A Jet Pack
God, I can’t stop laughing:
Here’s an economic proposal that I think makes a lot of sense. We’re talking about spending $700 billion to prop up a market for something that no longer has a market, thanks to it being abused and bungled out of existence as coordinated effort by all the top firms in America. [...]
That’s an ineffective plan, and we all know it. I propose instead that Henry Paulson give that 700 billion dollars to me. In return, I’ll stimulate the economy myself. I’ll stimulate the hell out of it — whatever you want. I’ll spend it like it was water, and I was some sort of… water-spending guy.
The first thing I’d do? Build new solar and wind infrastructure, and make untold billions of dollars providing power to the nation. The walls of my corporate headquarters would be covered with solid gold, and the business park would be laid out so that from space, it would look like Calvin peeing on barrels of oil.
