Two metaphors:

1) Funny thing is, using a bucket to pour water from the deep end of the lake to the shallow end does not make the lake any deeper.

2) Diluting wine (labour-earned money) with water (printed money) makes the mixture worth less...what a surprise!

 

I bet if Obama had an understanding of economics, or physics, or just common sense, he would be feeling pretty stupid for his Keynseanomics now.

I love how they say Obama was a " Community Organizer ".

Sound like a euphemism for Communist Dictator

And let me guess. The news media - some of whom criticized Bush's economic stimulus - will fawn over this.

Then again, I do remember a hilarious comparison between the economics plans of the presidential nominees.
"His plan doesn't inject enough money".
"His plan injects too much money"
"His plan is juuuuust right"

Kind of reminded me of the Three Bears story. Also scared me to know that there are people in the world who think they are omniscient.
Drag not your strength from government, but from the voices they abuse.
