"Everyone Guessed Wrong."


Vice President, Joe Biden recently appeared on Meet The Press and he was questioned regarding the end all be all, life saving stimulus plan that was supposed to save the day for America. The VP appeared to be rather forthright and honest when he said ,"everyone guessed wrong." His comments were in regard to the failure or lack of success that was created by the stimulus plan.

The only problem that I have with the Vice Presidents comments is that I do not believe for one minute that anyone "guessed" wrong. The powers that be in Washington D.C. were no where near stupid enough to actually think that the stimulus plan would save the day. In fact, anyone with a little bit of common sense would realize that spending money does not end debt, but rather creates more of it!

The Vice President then backed away from the administrations previous "guess" that suggested that the stimulus package would create 3.5 million jobs. For the first time in his life, Vice President Biden took a conservative approach and suggested that the stimulus would only create 600,000 jobs. Unfortunately, this type of conservatism isn't what we need!
