House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, commenting on the economic "stimulus" package that Congress and President Bush are apparently close to signing into law:
"I can't say that I'm totally pleased with the package, but I do know that it will help stimulate the economy. But if it does not, then there will be more to come."
Translation: "I know that doing A will make B happen. But if doing A doesn't make B happen, then we'll do more of A."
This is why politicians should not screw around with the economy. Not only do they not understand the most basic economic principles, they apparently have no concept of formal logic.
