Is Obama's Stimulus Plan Really A Slavery Reparations Plan?

Post by Bill Call »

Influential Democrat, Robert Reich, may have let the cat out of the bag with his recent comments. Apparently stimulus money shouldn't being going to white males or professionals:

While Obama has stated he is opposed to reparations his opposition might be more to the title than to the plan:

If the "best reparations plan" is trillions in new government spending allocated by race isn't that reparations by everything but name?

Six trillion dollars in new debt over a three year period allocated by race and class sound like reparations to me. This is going to be so cool.

This is awesome. A Huffington Post post prior to Obama's presidency and a blog entry. Awesome. I think this is clearly a done deal.

President Eisenhower was the most liberal U.S. President. He presided over the highest progressive income taxes, capital gains taxes, and corporate income tax rates. it is ok. nearly all of the staples of life were more affordable back then. housing, train tickets, education. unemployment was lower when you consider how few wives worked outside the home full time. that seems to be the best policy. conservatives want america to be like the 1950s.
