Same Ol', Same Ol'

I realize we were told there would be change. Change was coming! But the reality is, the headlines all sound the same this week that they did last month, and the month before that, and the month before that. Of course campaign promises always do have an exclusionary alternative clause built into them, but I'm amazed at the speed in which we are getting to hear so much re-explained. In a couple of months, someone will look through this stimulus bill, just like the last one, and the Patriot Act before that and realize, Whoa!!! We've got a ton of laws on the books now, that nobody mentioned were there. Please . . .
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Holy Scripture
