If at first you don't succeed, go global.
Here’s the deal.
Ignore that pork-filled spending bill about to become law.
It's about to become something else.
A model.
For the rest of the world.
I kid you not.
The White House wants to take stimulus global.
Which is sort of like taking all the waste, all the pork, all the swine smell studies...and putting 'em all on steroids, slap a sticker on it, and say, "World, this swine's for you!!!"
Because -- brace yourselves, my friends.
This isn't just a bad flick.
It's a preview of coming attractions.
And since all this stimulating and rescuing has done wonders here, it only makes sense that we take it worldwide and see it do wonders everywhere.
President Obama will be pushing this global pick-me-up when he chats with them next month at the G-20 meeting.
And what an example he can brag about.
It'd be like bringing an awful off-Broadway show to Broadway, with the producers saying, "We know with a bigger audience, we might do better."
Or a car company taking its worst-selling model here and foisting it on unsuspecting customers across the globe, convinced they can't do worse.
Oh, wait, we've already done that one.
My point is, if you're sending a trial balloon, make sure the balloon can fly.
Otherwise, you've just got hot air.
And worse -- demanding every fool on Earth pay for it with his cold cash.
