<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think it's time we applied the same advertising standards to Washington's
legislative products that the feds apply to breakfast foods. The Food and Drug
Administration rapped General Mills this week for making misleading claims about
the benefits of Cheerios. The food manufacturer says the whole-grain O's are
"clinically proven to lower cholesterol." The FDA demanded packaging changes to
ensure truth in labeling. </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Well, how about the bogus marketing of the fiscal "stimulus"? President
Obama and the Democrats promoted the trillion-dollar package as job creation
salvation. The White House claims 150,000 jobs have been "created or saved." But
since February, the nation has lost more than 1.3 million jobs. The current 8.9
percent unemployment rate in the wake of the stimulus passage is worse than the
8.8 percent unemployment Obama's economists darkly predicted if Congress didn't
immediately adopt their recovery plan. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The "stimulus" was supposed to provide aid to the country's neediest areas.
It's not. The Associated Press reported after reviewing 5,500 planned
transportation projects that "states are planning to spend 50 percent more per
person in areas with the lowest unemployment than in communities with the
highest." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obama promised that Americans would be able to track "every dime" of the
"stimulus" at one handy clearinghouse website. They won't. The Recovery.gov site
data won't be fully available until next spring -- halfway through the program.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Washington told us the "stimulus" projects were "shovel-ready" and would
provide immediate relief. They're not. The New York Times notes that the program
"has paid out less than 6 percent of the money, largely in the form of social
service payments to states." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Democratic leaders baldly claimed that "there are no earmarks" in the bill.
But untold tens of millions of dollars are headed to pet projects such as
skateboard parks, tennis and basketball court renovation, the National Zoo, the
$11 million Bridge to Microsoft, and Pennsylvania King of Pork Rep. John
Murtha's ghost airport to nowhere. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>More falsely labeled products in the Capitol Hill pantry: How about the
"Toxic Assets Relief Program"? The trillion-dollar-plus banking bailout morphed
from a toxic assets purchase plan to a capital injection plan, back to a toxic
assets purchase plan, to a life insurance company bailout, to an auto supplier
bailout, and may now be used to bail out the state of California. Supporters of
that maneuver argue that TARP should be extended to every cash-strapped state
and local government to guarantee their debts against default. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How about "Social Security"? There's nothing secure about it. While Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid scoffed during the Bush years that "the so-called
Social Security crisis exists in only one place -- the minds of the
Republicans," the insolvency problem festered. Now, the Obama administration
reports that both Social (In)security and Medicare are hurtling toward
bankruptcy far sooner than previously estimated. The "trust funds" exist only in
the minds of the deluded. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And just this week, Congress collaborated with the White House to conjure
up a misleading description of Obama's $108 billion bailout of the International
Monetary Fund. They're advertising the expenditure as a "line of credit" with
the "hope to get the money back," according to the Wall Street Journal. "So the
White House argued that the budgetary impact should be calculated at zero."
That's right. Capitol Hill is officially claiming that $108 billion = zero.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If Beltway spending plans were breakfast cereals, they'd be yanked from
grocery stores in a heartbeat. Their promises and premises are as full of holes
as a box of persecuted Cheerios. <BR></DIV>
