Most observors know now that Congress is pretty nifty at coming up with clever acronyms for legislation, e.g. the PATRIOT Act, etc.
Believe it or not, it used to be my job years ago to come up with those titles to legislation my bosses were drafting.
Here are my nominations for titles for the Obama Budget or future “stimulus” or bank rescue plans:
Federal Action to Relieve Taxpayers (of their money) (FART) Act.
Save Taxpayers from Uniformly Performing Incoherent Decisions (STUPID) Act.
Taxpayers Helping Everyone for a Future Together (THEFT) Act.
Rescuing Our Banks to Better Enjoy Deliverance (ROBBED) Act.
Guarantee Our Destiny (GOD) Act.
Securing Lives And Validating Economic Relief Yes! (SLAVERY) Act
Letting Obama Save the Economy (LOSE) Act
People Opting for Opportunity and Relief (POOR) Act
Delivering Economic Action for Today’s Health (DEATH) Act
Deterring Incoherent Choices Today, Acting for Tomorrow’s Opportunities and Relief (DICTATOR) Act
