Perhaps sensing a void following a raft of bad economic news, Dilbert enters the scene with some needed comic relief. The ongoing ‘Dilbert works in collections’ series is great but, today’s takes the cake.

Does anyone really believe that sitting around and arguing over this [via AP] is the most helpful use of time at the moment? Is threatening to ‘tattle’ on how your congressman votes what we need? Seriously people this is pissing me off.

I’m not too jazzed about the government continuing to increase the deficit but if that’s not the solution, I want to hear some other options and RIGHT FREAKING NOW! Just giving people a few hundred bucks or even a couple thousand isn’t going to solve this for the millions that are losing their jobs, or for the crumbling infrastructure, or for becoming less dependent on oil from the middle east. We need to invest in America, and we need to do it soon.

Sort it out and stop the kindergarten name calling. Let’s get this done!
