Where is the government suppose to get all this money?

FROM YOU AND ME!! From EVERY AMERICAN WITH A JOB!! That’s where! The general American public seems to think it magically appears from out of nowhere!

Get ready for your taxes to go up another 30%. I’m not kidding. Are you willing to give 50%-65% of YOUR INCOME to the government for it to be doled out to people who don’t work or to CRAPPY programs????? I’m not! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

Texans can complain all they want, but it was there man Bush and their politics that got us into this mess. The country should be mad as hell at the state of Texas.

Not sure what you are reading but this is what the stimulus package looks like, although it is changing:

About a $800 bn plan. The bulk of the package or about $550 bn goes to be used to build new schools and highways, invest in energy and health-care projects and provide unemployment and health benefits for out-of-work Americans. There are about another $300 billion of tax cuts, representing about 40% of the overall total.

Here is the link to the complete break down of the stimulus package (although is changing). Take a look and educate yourself. Where exactly is all this great amount of pork?

http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/PressSummary01-15-09.pdf

Do you consider tax cuts pork? Do you consider spending on healthcare, schools, roads, bridges, etc. etc. etc. pork?

The programs that people have been complaining about represents only 1% of the stimulus package and most of that is now out.

So what is your solution? To do nothing. Let unemployment go to 10-12% and company bankrupcies to sky-rocket or to kick-start the economy to at least get things rolling in the right direction again?

I guess you are smarter than all the economists or your hatred for Obama is the only thing you believe in and that trumps everything else and all you want to do is play politics? Very sad!

I’m one of those Dems who will never go back. It’s candidate only from now on. In fact, I wish there was a third party, a new American Party.

Right now I’m cheering for the GOP. But honestly, I don’t like either one. Particularly the fringe-bats on both sides.

Sadly true, Alexis. And eventually, even the majority of Obamatrons will know what a rotten bill of goods we’ve been sold.

And then, they can pat themselves on the back. If they’re blessed, they won’t choke to death. But you won’t catch me lighting any candles for them.

Oh, happy days!

isn’t the appointment of Senator Gregg simply about getting another DEM senator (replacing Gregg a REP) because his replacement will be appointed by a DEM Governor.

I think you are right Peggy Sue. The Obots have been especially ugly lately. It’s the fallout of the Kool Aid wearing off. Hell, a crack high lasts longer than the Obama high did.

cynic…how can you comment on something, and bash people, when you didn’t do your homework? Oh my god. The GOP has blasted all over the place the specific numbers, changes, etc. the the bill they propose. It might be better for you if you would stop spending your days pissing on the GOP and do some research.

cynic, THEY TOLD THE SPECIFICS. you and others didn’t bother to listen or think critically.

Peggy Sue — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:45:10 +0000

Well, if “past is prelude,” this past two weeks says it all, doesn’t it???

Are you picking up a bit of anxiety in the Obamatrons?? Even they know this bill sucks. But they just can’t quite admit it.

Poor babies! We need to contact FEMA for the upcoming emergency, a serious political fallout.

Get shelters and straight-jackets ready. It won’t be pretty.

So why aren’t they telling people the specifics of this amazing alternative?

They’ve had as much time to get a formal proposal together as the democrats have. More, you’d think, since they haven’t been busy managing a presidential transition.

Wow, the Obamatrons are “really” getting nervous. No fingernails left, I bet. Great response, Donna Brazile.

Stop the lovefest, indeed!

Why does anyone here post to this UK person? Every single post from it is insulting, rude, obnoxious and disgusting. Let the troll roam the board alone. Maybe it will leave soon.

Ukee Dem:

Well I give you credit, you held out longer than most of those racist accusing Obots.

You still trying to get a green card. How about a job? How’s those double jointed fingers feeling?

Just can’t stand that some people are actually vigilant in watching what the actions of their President? Is he your President too? Or, do you just want to adopt him?

Keep of the lovefest, it becomes you!
