[johnnyboypdq]

We do not need a TAX CUT!

What is needed is less Government spending!

THe stimulis plan should be called the STEALING FROM AMERICA PLAN!

STOP GOVERNMENT SPENDING and EXPANSION!

STOP WITH NEW TAXES!

STOP THE TAX CUTS, IT'S LIES!

STOP GOVERNMENT GROWTH, CUT OUT SOCIAL PROGRAMS, ELIMINATE POLITICAL HAND OUTS! STOP THE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, TURN AWAY ILLEGALS IN THE HOSPITALS, HOUSING, GIVING TAXPAYER BENEFITS TO NON-AMERICANS! VOTE NO TO GOVERNMENT GROWTH, and FIRE LAZY POLITICANS!

[ghostreconn]

First of all congress should give the stimulus package like last year and not in our income. If you want a quick relief. People can save this money and even spend on bills

[badbarada]

@ghostreconn

I wish you were ILLEGAL for the rest of your life. FUCKHEAD. Are you NATIVE INDIAN??? SO shut the fuck up and ask you parents how they got here...

RESPECT all nations. You better thank GOD that you are LUCKY to be legal in US. WE are all equal.

[3m3ricanSk8r]

I totally agree with horta85.

When the Democrats find out that Obama can't "save" us from this, they are just going to blame President Bush for all of this because Democrats "never" do anything wrong they are "always" right...

[3m3ricanSk8r]

You know what I find funny? If this was a REPUBLICAN President, Democrats would be spazzing out about Stimulus Package. You would be totally against it in every which way...

[vodhrtiwaz]

This idiot actually believes that because I am living in this tax bracket and going to college, I want rich peoples money. How stupid can the 'media elected messiah' be? I am going to college so I can create MY OWN WEALTH.!!! Let the rich dudes keep theirs, and I will keep mine, you can bet you ass on that!!! The good news is, in 4 years, fascist liberal democracks wont be able to get elected dog catcher!

[timmunst]

Funny how things started to go really wrong after the Dems started controlling congress.. Think about it.. Obama will bring this country to ruin with the help of Reid, and Pelosi. This spending plan will cripple the economy not bring stimulus.. We need less government not more.. Historically we have never been able tax our way to prosperity. He talks a good game, but his words and his actions do not match.

[horta85]

it's funny because I'm sure after Obama send the economy to the garbage Obama Droids will still blame Bush for this!

[splitspeeds]

take a hike asswipe!

[fuggsakes]

Well Well Well Said Said Said Said!!!!!!!

Were fucked

[1kcharrison]

Its a ludicris bill.

[mathiastheok]

Perhaps it's time to switch to the party of smaller government, liberty and personal freedom. Libertarianism is what this country was founded on.

[fedorvonbock16]

look this fraud obama

[lighwave]

There are 100 pages devoted to health care. Rationing systems are being snuck in the back door with this bill. It would be tilted against the elderly and disabled. What happened to TRANSPAERENCY?

It is unconstitutional to give so much power to the government on such personal matters. She said that rationing systems are being snuck in the back door with this bill. It would be tilted against the elderly and disabled.

[GTnumber1]

GEORGE W. BUSH was the best president. He was the man that could fix this economy. It's a pity he had to leave office because he had the brains and wits to figure out this problem. I miss him.

[Twizzledoc187]

Please tell me that you are joking! Please tell me that your brain is slightly larger than a thimble. PLEASE tell me that this isn't sincere. I'm somewhat worried about your mental well-being if you are sincere.

[GTnumber1]

LOL...Relax bro..Can't you identify raw sarcasm when you see it?...Try to follow my mad sarcastic method and eventually the rednecks that put that "smart smart " president in office for 8 years(2000-08) will realize what a "great " decision they made.

[lighwave]

Republican Senators are questioning whether President Barack Obamas stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy. Tragically, no one from EITHER party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion. These provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.

[vicegrip88]

this is obama world best top song 4 the economical crisis

[BenRaifilms]

JUST SEND THE MONEY ALREADY!!!

[jtravis282]

Screw this. Let the free market take over. The govt is trying to stop exactly what needs to be done, massive deleveraging. All this money for stimulus/ bailouts is not free, there is a cost, sooner or later we have to pay the piper. Let the banks that took these risks pay, if they can't, let them go under. Let the people that took out subprimes with little money down go under, let them rent if they can't afford their homes. The gov't is stepping in and rewarding them and it's hurting us all.

[ItsJeffreyShow]

im laughing @ the comments

[am84grn]

Yeah, itsjeffreyshow... crackheads tend to do that.

[cindy6wm]

I wish we could just cut the gov't. out of it and keep all the money we earn. It's not fair we have to work our buts off and pay for everyone else's mistakes.

[cindy6wm]

Pelosi is so self serving and negative. I would prefer Donald Trump for President at this point, at least he know's how to run a business successfully and could probably get the U.S. out of this financial mess.

[avrilsdream]

Self serving is putting it nicely. Most people think Pelosi is clinically schizophrenic (opinions of other schizophrenics not withstanding).

[ecwaufisxtreme]

This stimulus is an ominous sign that Obambi will be a 1 TERM EPIC FAIL and will lose to Sarah Palin in 2012. This country does not need a stimulus and more government spending to help the global economy. No, the world needs Palinomics. Palinomics will save the world economy, greater than Reaganomics and Clintonomics. Palinomics is blessed with the divine power of GOD HERSELF for Palin is GOD's CHOSEN ONE, GOD INCARNATE and the LIVING EMBODIMENT OF GOD HERSELF!

[chessaddict1]

Your mom should have swallowed you, moron.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

You are the one that should be swallowed WHOLE!

[avrilsdream]

You're the opposite of Obama... you have great views, but don't express them very convincingly. Let's leave politics and fire and brimstone separate. you'll get a much more positive response in general and people may listen.

[caverron]

Did any of these people study what lead up to and what happened after the gov got involved with the economy around the depression? These clowns are just scary

[DarkestNight2084]

I heard he has a separate plan to stimulate poor black communities. It is to tax the hell out of Tylenol, because its white and it works.

There is no change with Obama in the white house....just another nigger in public housing.

[FlamingHmo]

Obama is a Nigger

[padude64]

Did your Bush stimulate the economy cocksucker? no! Your bush was a cocky cocksucker who did shit so shove that up your ass bitch!

[shiinasama]

You can't really blame those republicans because I too think the package is too big anyways. What if it fails? Although I don't expect Obama to fail us in this but I'm just trying to weigh the plan risk because if it fails...were all in a big inflation. If it fails *sniff* i'll be spending my prime years in a depression

[Beeirish1965]

It will fail! When you stimulate the govts pockets this will not create jobs & lower debt, & allow the govt more control over our banks, health care and so on. Wake up people because our govt leaders (Obama & Congress) are stealing us blind and if we don't stop this there will be NO AMERICA for your children or/and grandchildren. This will continue until the NEW WORLD ORDER IS COMPLETE. Youre so GREEN that you don't realize that we are in for a world of hurt. All thanks to Obama & Congress

[republicanpolitican]

I think the only way we can get the economy going is to give everyony lones!

[NewChristianSoldiers]

Bush used SCARE TACTICS then WASTED $350 BILLION of your money giving it to FAILED BANKS and rebates but NOTHING HAPPENED!

Now Obama uses SCARE TACTICS and wants to WASTE $850 BILLION MORE giving $5.2B to ACORN, $50M for Art, $126M for afterschool snacks?? WTF?

Why not give money to people directly instead? Each Family would receive over $20K wouldn't THAT be a BETTER?

Too bad YOU"LL NEVER see this money but your GRANDKIDS GET TO PAY FOR IT!

SPENDING $850B is FUCKING RETARDED!ju

[ecwaufisxtreme]

This is WHY we need Palinomics for Palinomics will save the WHOLE WORLD from a global depression. Palinomics is blessed by the DIVINE POWER OF GOD HERSELF! Let's CUT govt spending down to $0, let the BAD BANKS and AUTO companies FAIL! NO STIMULUS, NO BAILOUTS, let the economy recover by itself W/O Government Aid.

[retired77070]

Retired77070's Stimulus Bill:

1 trillion ---- 1 Million for every non-muslim American. It's time for the taxpayers who foot the bill to get rich, not just the lawmakers. Screw the honeybees and the fish, we want our millions.

200 Million ---- To finish the Mexican US border fence

300 Million ---- To depart illegals and their children

The American people could sure stimulate the economy with this type of money.

[CircusMaximus09]

Good one...love it

[cindy6wm]

Obama had good intentions, but WHY in the WORLD did he let the dems run wild with this thing? The democrats should have handled this much better. They're screwing us all w/ this anyway, because hardworking Amercians are the ones paying for this crap!

[CircusMaximus09]

He's being led around by Pelosi

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Palin is SUPERIOR to Pelosi and when Palin PWNS Obambi and becomes POTUS in 2012, she will put Pelosi in HER PLACE because Palin has a SUPERIOR PACKAGE!

[padude64]

All you republipigs are doing is patisanship especially MCcain the bastard who lost the election!

[Beeirish1965]

There is nothing in this package that will stimulate the economy.The public sector (govt )doesn't create jobs.The private sector creates jobs.The gov't is stopping the creation of jobs by taxing us to hell! By giving tax cuts;such as income tax cuts in half or more, estate tax to zero,corporate tax to zero for 3-5 yrs, & last but not least stop gov't pork spending forever! Place more effort on production& the rest will create a boom in our economy that we haven't seen since Roland Reagan.

[italianwiseass]

what we have is a liberal president and an out of control senate.... I'm glad the republicans voted no and I wish those 3 traitors didn't vote

[padude64]

MCCAin is a cocky bastard!

[padude64]

See how cocky these republiturds are not lookin out for jobs and trying to block the stimulus! I say arrogance is working for them!

[padude64]

See how cocky John McCain is? He s pissed because he lost the election! the republicans are so ignorant to hurt the American people and to look only to thir rich supporters! Screw you republicans!

[khapsha]

you want people have jobs then stop importing goods and stop sending jobs over seas ...............

[ldksparda]

Shut up about your lies. Your kind is responsible for this mess in the first place. REPUBLICAN!

[locustnhoney]

Every couple days Obama is now saying if we don't hurry up there will be a "catastrophe" or not passing the bill is "inexusable"because he knows the longer people look at the bill the more it will be under scrutiny and he knows it is full of frivolous spending and will do nothing that will help the economy. Only 30% of people are in favor of this bill and criticism is rising, most favor a tax cut only plan.

[beermetalhell]

The plan is a must!!!  however, Obama wants to spend it on stupid things that won't do anything for the economy.. They need to fix the housing problem and fix it NOW!!!!!!!!

[retired77070]

Will you favor the bill? Will you favor paying off Obama's debts? Obama is trying to scare the Senate and the American people into passing the stimulus bill because he is the one who is running scared. If the stimulus bill doesn't pass it will be catastrophe for Obama because he won't be able to pay off crooks like Acorn and the other crooks he owes favors to. Only a dumb ass would not be able to tell that Obama is running scared.

[mmysama]

Why the hell would he want to pay off acorn?

[skyline445]

stop the STEALFROMUS plan

[RockawayRiotSquad]

GOP - "No spending! Spending is bad! Lets let the American people starve! Depression? WHO CARES?"

GOP = GREED OVER PEOPLE

[mmysama]

The stimulus bill will create jobs, lots of jobs, millions of jobs. America is no less productive now than it was 10 years ago, the problem is that the economy is growing stagnant jobs are disappearing. if we where to lower taxes, people will still have money to spend, that will create more jobs, but what guarantee is there that a tax cut will create as many jobs as this bill? How much will a tax cut help to fix our infrastructure and finance research into cheap renewable energy?

[fupasack2]

well the only thing that i have seen change so far is the name of the policies. "bailout plan"(bush) to "stimulus package"(obama).

do any of you obama zombies want to explain this to me? i thought we were going to see some change. this is, by definition, the EXACT same thing that was happening with our last administration.

why do you people even bother voting? better yet, why do you morons even bother living if your just in everybodies way?

[lookout88]

The Obama zombies can't explain anything. Obama just let go the USS Cole terrorist. What is wrong with this guy?

[braindeadhick]

For ever dollar injected into the economy it creates 7 dollars via the ripple effect . this is a basic tenet of macro economics . the problem is the economic illeteracy of the public which the slime ball republicans are banking on . it's not home economics . read Keynes

[lookout88]

Funny, a slime ball trial lawyer calling anyone a slime ball. We don't have a chance to make it out of this.

[morbo262]

braindead: for every one dollar, seven....

Alright,... Is it real dollar or a bubble dollar?

The bubble POPPED, why are legislators trying to blow ANOTHER one???

I'll agree, most people do not understand economics ( I'll include myself in the group, and leave my EGO out of it ) Even so that does not mean that those people, the public, can't SMELL a pile of smouldering shit.... If congress caves to Obama's pressure then what we will have is TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION....

[gsummerford]

The stimulous package needs to get rid of the frivolous money being given. We, as Americans, do not need a measly usd500.00. Most of us would use it to pay bills. What can you buy for 500 bucks now? Nothing. obama and the dems are being Stupid. Let us have a chance to voice our opinion. This country was founded on bi-partisanship. We need both sides to make a right stimulus program.

[padude64]

FUCK McCAIN

[sslusshy]

Thuck you old man, I'll kick your azz.

[tapacocha2012]

more money to wall street yahoooo....

[TuskAmerica]

2 weeks in office and already an utter failure!

[RockawayRiotSquad]

he's only a failure by your bitter, partisan account....all these conservatives mouths are watering at the fact that our President could fail just to get a bit of partisan satisfaction....pathetic.

[phillip42]

@classicallady : Hypocrites? You sound like the biggest one here. "He's our president now, deal with it." Funny how Bush was our president yet The crticism never stopped. Its Ok to criticize bush but not Obama? Cmon now, lets try and be a little fair now.

[classicallady]

Also his IQ is above 125."betcha" you are all genious, right. STAND UP AND HELP YOUR COUNTRY. RIGHT NOW HE IS THE PRESIDENT whether u like it or not. And never mind the FANTASTIC AND EFFICIENT admins. has nothing to do with that, right???HYPOCRITES!

[CircusMaximus09]

PLs provide your source about his IQ. Only the facts

[lookout88]

Right, follow "Dear Leader" no matter what!! Pass the "porkulous Maximumus" stimulus bill. Madame, you are an Obama Zombie, and can't think for yourself.

[StopThemNow08]

If Obama and Democrats think this plan is so GREAT, why don't I see them turning over ALL there wealth FIRST to jump start this stimulus package with funds?

Why should I, the working man who is JUST geting by, have to pay for this crap..

And if you are one of those people who think this plan will work, well great, then I guess you will have no problem selling off every thing you own too help the AMERICAN people, right??

[Infoman34]

The problem with the economy is the stupidity of the average American, not the government. How any idiot can cry about how poor they are and still drive a foreign car and buy foreign made products is absurd. If you own a foreign car, made here or overseas, you're an idiot. You've personally cost at least 10 Americans to lose their jobs and guess what, you'll eventually lose yours or see your wages scaled way down. Everytime a foreign car is purchased, it's like a thousand bad shopping sprees.

[PoppinAmDoll]

here's the problem schwarznazi...i mean schwarznasen...you never bothered to research our now president, Pres Obama, especially when it was so crutial to do so (pre-election). You look like a big dumb professional hater right now. He is qualified for the job because he has been involved in politics since he was a kid; every job on his 10 miles long bio, credentials, and resume is related to politics. He had more creds than opponents hillary/mccain combined. You should read sometimes, it's fun..

[ClassicFIHD]

He was a community leader, a job for which he didnt even know what they did. He has no executive experience at all. He vote present 130 times and vote wrong six times. None of his Law School or previous education had anything to do with politics. Get back on your meds

[Beeirish1965]

What was Obamas major accomplishment as a Senator? What major piece of legislation did he write?

[padude64]

What did MCCAin do besides a war hero?

[Beeirish1965]

McCain is not the President! Some of McCains legislation has been ok and some of his legislation was wrong for our country.

[classicallady]

poppin.very well said.I just watch a bunch of ignorants/morons, they are all critics. I ask NOW: which one of you einsteins, have the Pres. background as in life as well as in shcoolarship? did you all attend and have a superior Curricula better than his???Very easy..bunch of illiterate, stupid idiots. All the ripublicons want is to screw up and delay the plan so we can continue going to hell - the same hell bush and his corp cohots originated. bushit //cheney drove us here. go get some books

[Schwarznasen]

Impeach Obama now, before he lays waste the entrire nation. He is totally unqualified for the job. God help us all if his nakedly Marxist policies are allowed to take root. Check out my earlier posts prior to the election. You can't say you weren't warned.

[Tianshou88]

hes part of the bankers party of america, like the other candidates who ran. its futile to talk about how obama sucks because they all suck and dont care about you (except maybe ron paul or nader). his policies are not marxist either. its called corporate socialism. if obama was a marxist i would have voted for him but hes not. hes a crook. just like everyone else

[readyjojoy]

I love Obama's plan.

Signed

Fidel Castro

[rw5791]

we all know barry will be a one term wonder.The idea is to keep him from fucking up the country so badly that the next president cannot get america back on track.

[cmptvp]

any one who believes Obama is a straight shooter is completely naive. Not only is he out for his own political gain but he is a socialist and a Muslim sympathiser. This guy has the track record of a very shady guy. None of it is speculative, it was just over looked. The relationships are all factual and intimate. The ideology of the men he has worked with and aligned with is very well known. We are fucked. No transparency, no withdrawal and absolutely no bipartisanship. Total fake!

[joshborne]

THis Bill is the biggest HOAX in U.S. history! Tell me how infrastructure jobs are going to get the 10,000 laid off by Boeing, 5,000 starbucks, tens of thousands by the auto industry? How many accountants, IT, bankers, etc. are going to dig diches for cable?!?! You want Stimulus. The TOP 25% of income earners pay 86% of all income tax. SUSPEND all INCOME TAX for the Bottom 75% of income earners for 6-12 months! This $500 stimulus means nothing when I pay that every week in TAXES!! FIRE THEM ALL

[jlettuce07]

FairTax.

That's a stimulus.

[Tianshou88]

the problem is when you make a job like digging a hole and then refilling it, you have to pay that person for doing a job that doesnt matter and doesnt help the economy, making it harder for people who are working in things like health services etc. income tax should be removed completely. its an unlawful tax and goes right to the federal reserve debt. the "stimulus" will cost every american over 6,000 dollars (that includes children). so..yes, it tops the previous criminal bailout

[Beeirish1965]

I would take what you have expressed one step further; those government officials that have committed TREASON against the Constitution of the United States of America and its citizens they should be executed! And of those government officials that are deceased and they have written something or something has been written about them should be tossed in the fire and burned.

[jmjfanss]

Just another example that the two party system sucks and nobama is just a part of that system.

[darkangelextra]

WE NEED mortgage rates 3.0%

[Vicryl007]

If there will be a Stimulus package it should only be paid to the taxpayers.. deadbeats, welfare and freeloaders need not apply

[pokeyphil]

fear not with polosi and harry and the help of barney frank how can we go wrong after all they got the smarts that we all lack just click your heels and all will be done do not try to change their ways for they KNOW what is in OUR best intrest any tax increases will be only because they made mistakes and didn't pay theirs it's un-american to punish a mistake by a politian unless it is bush don't waterboard me cuz i want to snort some more coke pass the coolaid please

[texas224]

Obama just tries too much and too hard...

[inkydinkydooky]

When Obama said two weeks ago: "Only The Government can get us out of this recession", We as Americans should have been horrified. This is what America has come to. The government is not in place to "End Recessions", it needs to be taken care of by the private sector. Socialism here we come!

[johnm295]

The "stimulus package" is an absolute joke. This president and this congress is going to destroy this country for us, our children and our grand children. What a travesty.

[OlGreyWolf58]

Let the banks fail. Re establish a monetary system that has something backing it

On good faith is very weak folks.

[ZoomBFX]

I think the republicans are SOMEWHAT starting to act like conservatives again.

[ninanwk69]

they better or we will have to establish another party

[kyojames19]

your right 30% of BS to help the country

[jcdevelopment]

This economy thing is getting old... why cant we drop paperless money and give every one in America a million credits (Dollars), then we will all be happy!

[utubefavorsdems]

Obama isn't going to make it.

[killergames187]

Stimulus Plan my ass!!Please tell me wear the TARP money is and way it did not work?This is all PORK and that is way Obama is pushing to move it fast!!!
