Five Points

Another Thing Wrong With The Stimulus Vote

With so many bad economic ideas and such glowing setups for fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer funds, this may be just one puff in a whirlwind. However, here's a direct Biblical warning of one of the major features of this bill's passage:

He who answers a matter before he hears it
It is a folly and shame to him.

-- Proverbs 18:13

Question: How many members of Congress could honestly say they had read the bill? Or even, that their staff had been able to read the bill and brief the member on its contents?

For further consideration:

Prov 14:29 - He who is implusive exalts folly

Prov 21:5 - The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

Prov 29:20 - Do you see a man hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
