They in turn will use it to buy expensive foreign cars, Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz will pay their employees, and they in turn might buy American manufactured... ah... software, maybe? and this in turn will benefit taxpayers. Sure, fractionally, but trickle down sounds like such a nice theory... the sad thing is that there's very little to undo the damage already done.

Duh. What did you think this asshole Obamalini was going to do? Now Karl is one to talk – he helped set the table for nationalized pizza (h/t Craig Cantoni), for which we will soon need national food insurance, because food will be too expensive for everyone (h/t me).
