The facts are out there about Obama's "stimulus plan". Obama's economic plan is a stimulus in the same way alcohol is. The economy may lose its inhibitions for a moment, but the long run effects will be to depress the economy. What's really amazing about this is that the Democratic Party in the United States disdains the Creationists for their non-scientific theories, and then the Democrats support this "stimulus" plan which is no better in terms of economics than Creationism is in terms of biology. Once, you believe something fundamentally silly like Creationism or Stimulus, you mind is open to whatever silliness Ballmer thinks to tell you about "security" or "intellectual property". It's too bad that the ability to do critical thinking isn't a requirement for political office. It’s important to realize just how ignorant are the Congressmen who are listening to Ballmer.
