Calling all Skeptics, Again

Reminder: get your objections to Christianity, Jesus, and the Bible to me. In the next week or so, I’ll devote a few posts to the top answers.

Do not post your objections here.  Rather, go to the original post (at the link above) and post them there in the comments section.

Post this in all your social media places: facebook, reddit, stumbleupon, digg, etc…let’s see how many people we can get to chime in.

Sooo, This is Change we can Believe In?

The president did a primetime news conference yesterday on the stimulus bill.

Change=pork.

Or at least that’s what its beginning to look like.eatmorechicken

We’ve tog an urgent need for pork, you see.  The economy will keep going down without it.

I dunno, whatever happened to “eat mor chikin”?  Even though cows are pushing the bird, I don’t think pigs would mind either.

Supposedly, they’ve cut the stimulus down a bit.  It’s no longer a $1 trillion juggernaut; it’s an $800 billion juggernaut.  (hat tip for the link: 4 Simpsons)

I’m no expert.  Perhaps that amount is reasonable, but that’s still a whopping amount to my untrained eye.  I mean, c’mon, saying that’s reasonable is kinda like an NFL tackle complimenting himself on losing two pounds.

Any of you economics profs wanna comment out there?

My econ knowledge doesn’t go past the “old school” principles.  You know, ones like these:

*You can’t cure debt by getting more in debt

*You can’t spend money you don’t have

*If you give money to fools, they will do foolish things with it

Even though I’m not an econ guy, my hunch is that those general principles still apply, though.  What do you folks think?
