Britain's PM Brown told by Bank of England: No more stimulus spending...then gets redressed in Parliament as being, "...pathologically unable to accept responsibility...".
Mervyn King warns Gordon Brown to stop spending
The Times
March 25, 2009
The Governor of the Bank of England laid bare tensions between Gordon Brown and the Treasury yesterday by warning that Britain could not afford a second economic stimulus in the Budget.
Mervyn King threw caution to the wind as he sided with Alistair Darling and the CBI against Downing Street in raising strong doubts over any prospect of another round of “significant fiscal expansion” next month.
Mr King spoke as the Prime Minister, beginning an international tour to co-ordinate measures for next week’s G20 gathering in London, called on leaders to do “whatever it takes to create growth and the jobs we need”.
President Obama, Mr Brown’s main stimulus ally, writes in the same vein in The Times today, saying that America is ready to lead the world out of recession, while calling for swift and robust action to stimulate growth “until growth is restored”.
George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor, said that Mr Brown was now “isolated at home and abroad”. He claimed that Mr King was vindicating the Conservatives’ stance and that Mr Brown’s plans for the G20 and the Budget were “in tatters”.
...and the fallout...from MEP Southeast England representative Daniel Hannahan...it's a beaut...
(this one's 3:28 long, D1B, Appa, Cap and dback...I know that's a long time to stay focused, so you may want to move on to Cap's "Gay Fish" thread...Soundbite version: Stimulus spending doesn't work and only bankrupts country and buries future generations with debt.)

Didn't work in CA...
Isn't working in the UK...
Yet Obama wants to bury the U.S. with $10 trillion in debt to carry out his pony league, back porch schemes...

That's just what our Congress needs: the equivalent of Britain's "Question Time."
Problem is, nobody in Congress has the wit, the drollery and the will to do it.
Alan Simpson has retired. "Blarney" Frank lost his sense of humor. Everett Dirksen is dead. Al Franken isn't funny.

Alan Simpson was a jewel! Take a look at Michigan's Thaddeus McCotter-R...he has become a regular on Fox's "Red-Eye" and appears to speak off the cuff...may have some mental notes...but does a ton of improvisation...funny guy, good insight of America, and keen wit...if you Google his name on YouTube, there's a ton of vid on him...
