Hell of a wish list TP ... Have you noticed how your new leader seems to thrive on talking up the economic crises, as if it isn't bad enough. <BR/><BR/>I had originally written the following about our PM but it applies equally to Obama. <BR/><BR/><I>Personally, I think he is enjoying the crises, much like the Greek mythic figure Oedipus who fulfills the oracle’s prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, by striving to avoid the prophecy. Obama, true to form in talking down economies while talking up a crises, will inadvertently bring about a worse than would otherwise be economic crises, in this instance, the prediction that could otherwise be false but is made true by Obama’s words and deeds.</I>Ottavio (Otto) Marasco https://www.blogger.com/profile/07813984603766878752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25204748.post-39757361772659284422009-02-04T07:54:00.000-08:002009-02-04T07:54:00.000-08:00I'm not certain releasing notes of meetings immedi...I'm not certain releasing notes of meetings immediately or later is a principle.

The most frustrating part of this new stimulus has been the lack of access to this proposal.<BR/>Hey, I would have been happy with a condensed version of bullet points - anything to be able to see exactly what is going where.<BR/>And, if no one else can see this, just where are people getting information about what is in it? I keep seeing all these wild expenditures but no proof they exist. If someone knows where to find this sort of documentation I would love to know where to find it.<BR/>Don't forget, the last administration was no better - I didn't see any plan there when they dumped all that cash on Wall Street.<BR/>This administration is no better, or worse, either.
