Smile Sometime yestiddy........

.......while I was indoors* and listening to talk radio, someone cited an interview with an (Asian) Indian. The gentleman said that, aside from just waiting for the free-market system to right itself, which might take a few years (though I doubt that, the USA could go for a real "stimulus" by letting thousands of Asiatic families (from India and China primarily) immigrate. They would buy up all the foreclosed houses, failing small businesses, start their own businesses, work 18 hours a day, PAY THEIR TAXES, and yank America back onto the tracks leading to prosperity! I was thunderstruck. I remember the scene from Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" where the Asian family moves in, opens a store, etc. etc., much to the outrage of their urban neighbors.......

In any case, I thought that was a fascinating proposal. Made, no doubt, rhetorically, but surely right on the button, re varying work-habits.


* Yes, she does let me in from time to time! Ar-ar-ar
**I think this fraudulent "Stimulus" Obamanation will essentially SLOW DOWN the normal, cyclical rebounding of the economy. Anyway, Sayonara freedom......

Carrion,
