In response to the not-very-good-news-at-all that the nation’s unemployment rate is now at 6.1%, we learn that Barack Obama wants a $50 billion stimulus package to be passed by Congress.

Yeah, because that last stimulus package really did wonders for the economy.

Chalk this up to your “reality-based” Zen moment of the day. Only without the reality and most certainly without the Zen.

That is if they really want to stimulate the economy and job creation.

The level of economic illiteracy in this country is stunning.

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

Alvin Toffler

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.”

John Locke
