Hillary Clinton’s replacement in the Senate Kirsten Gillibrand has been one of the largest disappointments for New York in the last year. She came to Washington sold by our incompetent Governor David Paterson as a gun toting moderate. Almost immediately upon her entrance, she moved to the extreme left. Each day the Senator finds a new tiny corner of laughable opinion to play in. [For those who may claim otherwise, here is ME being hopeful about Gillibrand and even extending some praise for Paterson before he exploded into extreme nuttiness and mismanagement.]

The latest is the forwarding of the possibility that Congress might need to pass a second stimulus. Now wait for just a moment, are you confused too?

One week, the stimulus worked wonders and the economy is on the road to recovery. The next week the stimulus is not enough and a second massive injection might be needed. Then the next week unemployment is looking great. Then the next day unemployment might get worse. Then the next week deficits are amazingly important and we are promising the Chinese we will cut them. Then the next day we want to spend more money on silly car schemes, health care, cap and trade and a second stimulus.

Is anyone else confused? I think that is the objective.

Anyway Gillibrand says this:

“My view is if we don’t have the recovery that we’re looking for in the next year and a half, [another stimulus] is something I would certainly look at, and you probably want it to be on a significant magnitude if you need it,” she said.

So the point of the first stimulus was specifically to create jobs and inject the economy into recovery. So if it did not work, wouldn’t you figure the last thing to do would be to repeat the same mistake twice? Nope, not if you are a liberal. Every liberal answer involves spending more money. A lot more money! Money to create programs. If those programs fail, well the solution is to spend more money! The problem MUST be that the program did not have enough money. Not that it wasn’t needed. Not that it wasn’t run properly. Not that it needs to be fixed. Nope, just more money.

Gillibrand has cemented in her short Senate stay where she stands. To the far left and far away from the well being of American taxpayers.
