I was thinking about our current economic situation yesterday and the proposed plans for solving the issue when an analogy of the situation’s absurdity came to mind.

Do you remember the old Winnie the Pooh cartoon where he ate too much honey at Rabbit’s house and got stuck trying to leave? Well, our economy is Winnie the Pooh and it is stuck in a bad way. But rather than going on a diet and losing a few components of the economy that are causing problems, we are force-feeding the poor guy in the hopes that he will somehow unstick himself.

I know that putting the economy on a diet is a painful choice, but propping up failing industries is only going to hurt us worse in the long run. Sorry for the political post. I just had this thought yesterday and thought it was worth sharing.
