Twilight Zone January 25, 2012

From Instapundit:

Only in the twilight zone that is Washington could a President who has bailed out and stimulated our economy to death stand in the Capitol and declare there should be ‘no bailouts, no handouts, and no cop-outs’. Can anyone spell GM or TARP or Solyndra?

The President said we deserve a government that plays by the same rules as millions of hard-working Americans. Perhaps that should begin with the government not borrowing and printing 43 cents of every dollar it spends – something hard-working Americans can’t and don’t do.

At Mish’s site: “Obama Proposes Mortgage Bailouts, Handouts, Copouts Exactly One Paragraph After Stating “Top to Bottom: No Bailouts, No Handouts, and No Copouts”; How the Taxpayer Ripoff Works”

“Let’s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day” will be royally screwed by Obama’s proposition in the form of higher taxes down the road.
