Only inside the beltway are people capable of believing that spending increases and more borrowing will solve an economic meltdown caused by excessive spending and excessive leverage.
This is a mindset shared with drunks who believes more alcohol will set everything right and inquisition torturers who believes that tightening the rack an additional notch or two will bring forth a truthful confession.
Our government has come to resemble a one trick pony: spending money is all that it knows how to do; therefore it mindlessly throws good money after bad . . . down every rat hole it sees as an opportunity or a problem. Furthermore, it's always a crisis . . . and there never is any time to spare. The spending and borrowing has to be approved RIGHT NOW . . . before anybody has a chance to think about the insanity of what is being proposed.
