ABC News: Stimulus Bill's Moving Goalposts

ABC News' Rick Klein has a good post related to Obama's moving goalposts on the "stimulus" bill - first it was supposed to take weeks to months. Now, it's really going to start kicking in.

But then again, it was just four months ago that they told us that unemployment would top out at 9% without the stimulus bill and 8% with the stimulus bill.

And how does anyone think they have the slightest bit of credibility with regards to any new program they want to socialize?

According to Rasmussen, 3/4 of Americans trust their own judgment on economic matters rather than Congress. If that's the case, why do we keep turning over more of our money to them?
