Not very happy with the Islamish ruling party, apparently…

1) Announce immediately that he will be lifting the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
2) Announce that he will veto any and all discretionary spending cuts enacted by the US Congress.
3) Call Ben Bernanke and tell him to get moving on QEIII, preferably in the form of sending a large check to every American who is not employed by the financial services, energy and health care industries.
4) Take all remaining TARP funds and start a jobs program to hire 3 million Americans at $30K/year.

2) Emulate the Eurozone: Spend weeks and months discussing how we can destroy the economy further.

Clearly, we have no idea, Western policy currently is: Gaddafi bad, everyone else less bad, let’s make a deal!
And so another pointless and stupid war continues…
