Economic Catastrophe?

"We know that even if we do everything we should, this crisis was years in the making, and it will take more than weeks or months to turn things around.

But make no mistake:

A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future. Millions more jobs will be lost. More businesses will be shuttered. More dreams will be deferred."

President Obama is now warning us all that if Congress fails to pass his stimulus package, the country will experience an "economic catastrophe." My question is how in the hell are we supposed to believe that when the stimulus bill is chocked full of tens of billions in pork spending that will have zero impact on the economy? Also, he has said that we are currently experiencing the worst economy since the Great Depression and then later said that the economy is the worst one in the last three decades. Why does this guy want us all to suffer?

It's only a matter of time before the children begin to suffer.
