Buffalo, geese and the "stimulus" bill

I am not sure if any of you have heard the comparison story about buffalo and geese in business, and how all the buffalo will follow the "lead buffalo" even if the lead buffalo leads them to their death. Whereas geese operate in a different manner. Geese fly in "V" formations, still traveling in groups like the buffalo, but if the lead goose falls ill and drops from the sky, plunging to its death, the rest of the geese do not follow the "leader" into the ground, another goose takes the lead spot in the "V" and on they fly.

You should ask yourself if you are a buffalo, following our "leader" in thinking the proposed "stimulus" bill is really the right way to lead our economy through the rough patch we are experiencing. You see, President Obama is now resorting to FEAR tactics in his effort to get his spending bill passed. The bill is not a stimulus bill, well the part about tax cuts will have a stimulating effect on the economy, that is for certain. But all of the pork project spending in the bill will in no way stimulate anything but the growth of government.

Every day I speak with people frustrated with the amount they pay in taxes, the size and scope and intrusiveness of government. Yet, people still believe we can somehow spend over a TRILLION dollars that we do not have, burden our children with debt they will NEVER be able to pay off, and still preserve the standard or living and way of life that makes America the greatest country in the history on humankind.

The ONLY way to stimulate economic recovery, job growth, reinvestment....is to reduce taxes AND reduce the size of government and government spending. In a time when our "leader" should be actually leading us toward recovery, he is wanting us to be buffalo and get us to follow him down the road toward socialism........

The choice is very clear. Be a buffalo, follow Obama and drag our great country into socialism. And in case you have forgotten, the SOCIALIST economies of Europe are in far worse shape than the US. Socialism does not and has not EVER worked.

Or, be a goose and let Obama drive himself and his party into the ground. Allow America to stay true to our heritage and our greatness. Sacrifice some today so that our parents can be proud and our children can have a future ripe with realization of their own American dreams.......

So, are you a buffalo, or are you a goose?
