[jhunted7667]

[leebee39]

[ancestralyuba]

Take a good look America. This woman is a perfect example of the people who are squandering your treasury.

Fish barriers "sounds like a dam."

Completely clueless.

[CraigKramer]

This is the democrat party in a nut shell

[AirborneIdentity]

AIG building needs to be demolished. what a waste of our money

[508307]

This Bimbo is going to eat her words. Notice Hussein OBs job rateing plumetting.

[NotMyself09]

well, as we all know, Democrats think they are helping contribute to society by authoring bills for which the wealthy class is paying

[mariekemph]

This woman is an idiot.

The Americans United Change should be dissolved.

[biggtone75]

Joe402...are your thinking skills on par with this hag on Cavuto?? Probably so which isn't saying much.

[stneme]

If this was a Bush supported bill, this woman would have found 106 herrings, and all of them would be unacceptable to her.

[stracinsrt4]

Wow, she is a moron.

[jayrod59]

The way I see it is as long as they are going to spend all of this money, which I wish they would not, some things will get done that really need to get done i.e. a new updated electric grid, green cars and buses and things that will help the country in a positive manner. The last stimulus package we don't even know where any of it went. So at least maybe this one will have something to show for it anyway.

[SapientiaEtFortuna]

That is the most stupid woman I have ever heard in my life! She is probably the average American dip shit that voted Democrat or Republican

[Joe402]

Education and infrastructure is wasteful spending for Republicans while military spending is not.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Republicans.

[jnava121]

funding the teachers unions is not education reform, infrastructure projects that won't get started until 2011 is not going to stimulate the economy right now. I thought the messiah said this was the worst economy ever? We should act now!

Ladies and gentlemen, a person who cannot think for themselves, Joe402

[Joe402]

I don't vote Republican therefore I obviously have thinking skills.

[EndCredulity]

And you'll notice that whenever more money gets pumped into our wrong-headed education system, the money goes NOT to teachers, but to administrators (whose job it is to adminstrate OTHER adminstrators).

When cuts are made, teachers go, but adminstrators stay. The glorys of the public sector...

[EndCredulity]

"Education and infrastructure is wasteful spending for Republicans while military spending is not."

The founding fathers were wise enough to know that military spending is one of the few areas were the federal government is required. States cannot defend themselves.

[freesk8]

The taxation and inflation that will result from this bad legislation will destroy more jobs in other areas than it will create in the targeted sectors of the economy.

Wow, this woman looks like a thug, with her head thrown back threateningly.

The mobsters, oops, Teamsters should have picked another spokesperson!

Corporate welfare is wrong.

This is no stimulus bill.

It is a power grab, and a payoff to connected political contributors.

It will lengthen the recession.

[Fockersnextdoor]

600 million for trojan condoms to send to other countries? why don't the media put a face to who ever sent this big FU to laid off Americans?

[bbnemesis123]

Nancy Pelosi is the bright one that put STD education and condoms in this bill. Watch any video on Nancy Pelosi. You will be amazed at how stupid and unrealistic that woman is on her comments. San Frencisco voted Nancy Pelosi to congress.

[humaner]

Actually Honeybees is a huge industry key for all agribiz.Fish Industry barriers is again a huge business for the fishing industry.Maybe Republican shill in Fauxs news should do his homework.Republicans should all be sent on a plane to clean up Iraq they can chant praise the lord over there.

[RepresentativeEAB]

A 17 billion worth industry.

[drunkenbob2]

that girl looks like she's on drugs...

[Fockersnextdoor]

notice how her logic just went on auto-pilot and she did not even know what was in the package?These are the same people that demanded banks loan money to dead beats and thieves. one of them just had 8 babies to add to the 6 that she already had.this is why we are all going down.

[508307]

Dont forget. we were promised Change. can you see it coming? The Messiah will walk after 4 years a very wealthy Thief & to Hell with the working People. By the time he gets done the working people will be looking for food while the fat cats & welfare Dorks will be laughing at us.

[maximouni]

Notice her red short! Bad news

REVOLT !!!

[JayAreDubya]

More topless bars would crate jobs too. Where's the money for more topless bars? I WANT MORE TOPLESS BARS! Where's the hope? Where's the change.

[dtaijo174]

*sigh* so sad :(

Looters...

[wdcsucks1]

sucking my dick is also a job one can make a career of...

[wdcsucks1]

is she on drugs or what?!?!?

[DesterWallaboo]

She's a moron

[Deeber65]

Hey Keepright72... you're using a typical Liberal tactic known as "distraction". The question you posed has absolutely NOTHING to do with the obvious FACT that Pelosi, Obama, and the gang , are stealing OUR TAYPAYER MONEY and using it on stupid, wasteful things. WE NEED JOBS not honey bee insurance. Wake up dude!

[booksmark12]

Dumb!

[razorx71]

Each of these items are for people in the senate as payoffs. Why else do you think they are there? They are trying to pass a 400 billion dollar bill, and to get everyone on board they need to tack on another 800 billion in payoffs to get it through. Thats where the 1.2 trillion dollar number comes from. News organizations need to start naming names in the senate that these payoffs are for.

[keepright72]

FOX approach at journalism:

step 1: decide which side of the issue to stand (call the RNC if in doubt)

step 2: find the weakest guests available to represent the other side

step 3: debate the topic on the most superficial level possible, and win (everyone's a winner at FNC, don't you know?). makes the other side look asinine, and in turn, their argument.

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

No accountability, just give Obama a blank check!

You want jobs? Deport 11.9 million illegal aliens living in the United States. That will cover the 4 million lost jobs.

It isn't just a stimulus package for the USA but one for all of South America and Mexico as well!

[andrewh23]

Deporting 12 million people would probably cost at least half the price of the stimulus plan and it would take years. You should know that a lot of the vegetables you buy from the store are picked by illegal immigrants in the United States as a result of a severe labor shortage in domestic agriculture or a product of cheap labor in the third world. You want the immigrants to leave? Stop eating fruits and vegetables. A more reasonable guest worker plan would be far more logical, or stop eating

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

No need to Deport. Just close corporations, farms, and businesses found to be hiring non documented workers. People don't flock to countries that won't hire them. Using the argument that Hispanics need to work for less than citizens is enabling others to take advantage of their plight.

[keepright72]

Eyy Ese,

Gringo George W. Bush is who started this bailout-fest, don't forget. Economists on both sides have agreed that something must be done-- and it must be big. Spending is the only way, and sure, when it is $900 billion big (many such as Krugman say it should be bigger, with less tax cuts) you will be able to find portions that seem obscure or unnecessary.

I think it is pretty telling that the three major voices for conservatives- Rush, Hannity, Beck- have not even graduated from college

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

(Rolling eyes!) Why is it that Neo-Libs always think College is the end all? So people who haven't gone aren't smart?

Iran and Chavez helped spin this economy on it's head by bullying gas prices up to $4 a gallon. Everything fell apart starting there, yet Neo-Libs won't allow domestic drilling.

[birdyb24]

JohnStossel has an article (which piggy backs on another that appears in US News I think) about how college is a big scam now. How people who shouldn't be there, are, and are indebting themselves deluded into thinking they're special. Check it out.

[keepright72]

Stossel's point in the article is that colleges are recruiting students who are at the bottom of their class in high school, struggling to graduate. This, he says, results in many students who aren't prepared to keep up with college courses, who will eventually drop out and still be in debt.

"They think of themselves as failures," Stossel said. That's pretty far off from the point you were trying to make, which you pulled out of thin air.

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

If I had a dollar for every time a Government official said, "Let's ask an expert"... LOL!

College is important but some Higher Educated people are highly over rated and lack any common sense. I will pit an American Farmer against many of this uppity college grads any day for good advise.

[keepright72]

And you will do so on matters of domestic policy, foreign policy, economics, history, military etc?

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

Not necessarily. My point is that what some consider "common" are not always dumb country bumpkins. I have seen some pretty stupid things stated by "Experts". And granted, I have heard some dumb comments from some common people as well.

[birdyb24]

Putting aside the fact that your one quote is not representative of the entire article, nor the second article to which I refered, how what I said all that different? It's the same point, predatory practices aimed at people who don't belong there employed by colleges to these people's detriment. "They think of themselves as failures" is the result of the practice of "delud[ing them] into thinking they're special."

[keepright72]

Didn't say its the end all, but I do think listening to a bunch of uneducated disc jockeys about the economy, politics, history is ridiculous.

[seagalfan]

You cannot make the other side look asinine, unless they are actually asinine.

[keepright72]

Your name is seagalfan.

[MAXAONICH]

Phase1: ?!?

Phase2:?!?

Phase3: Profit

[narrator1982]

Creating jobs? To a distant observer it would appear that this bill was crafted for precisely the opposite effect. It won't make but a few jobs, and those jobs won't be worth anything to us now or then, artificially created as they will be. Make work jobs are dumb enough as a concept anyway, and this bill doesn't even pretend its trying to make those! What a farce. I'd even prefer make-work jobs or pure cash handouts to the unemployed over throwing 891 Billion into a bottomless pit.

[jd24717]

New Republican Strategy: Just Have This Person Continue to Explain the Stimulus

[LayZ23]

I'm just rolling on the floor laughing at this airheaded moron trying to defend unmitigated theft of taxpayer money. They want us to eat this up but can't defend one single piece of pork.

You know you can put mustard on a crap sandwhich, it's still a crap sandwitch.

[Monty1994]

ok let's say those four things are red herrings. They add up to 595 MILLION DOLLARS. Even if those are the only 4, and we know they aren't, that means we are flushing away over half a billion dollars we don't actually have on shit that benefits maybe a few thousand people tops. Fish Barriers?? Although I do like how the retard tries to turn that into dams and levees. That was a nice try on her part, but no believable to anyone who didn't spend their teen years huffing paint and glue.

[spwb2k]

That gal ought to be starring in the next Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie.

Creepy.

[shrikedecil]

"Fish barrier? Sounds like a dam. Lots of dams need repair..."

Holy. Crap.

[gingerpartington]

Robert Reich, when asked about the $150 million for the honey bees, said, "Let's bee crystal clear here. This will go to training low-skill worker bees. Nothing for WASPs!"

[Monty1994]

zing!

[HowTheWorldWorks]

I'm so sick of these Obama drones. The whole country is full of them.

[AlbanesePatrick]

Wow, a brain dead moron trying to justify craploads of pork because she thinks it will create jobs. What are we spending to create those 3 million jobs? Let's see... 900 billion divided by 3 million equals 300,000 per job.

Instead of a job, I'd like my 300,000 dollars please..

[narrator1982]

Sorry! Welcome to your new socialist reality. The government knows better than you anyway. Right??

[tshalverson]

Those are some happy god damn honeybees.
