What the Stimulus Bill May Do for You

We are the home of the brave and the land of the free. What Americans have on their hands right now is the beginning of another civil war of sorts. Our governemnt...in the European model...has begun to tax and oppress its citizens to the extreme.American's will be cleaning house in Washington by the end of this year. That is not your concern...

However: If we fail in that regard. the whole world will eventually suffer the consequences.

[flimflabber]

Shouldn't the government be handling more important problems instead of creating like they did with this bill. Or is it just cover up for all of the horrible things your doing?

[brian8793]

Fuck Obama Fuck Obama FUUUUUUUCK Obama!

[MRtoker2007]

tax breaks dont do anything for people that dont have jobs..i dont have unemployment or food stamps so i guess this package does nothing but Shit on me

[caltvater]

This report left out a major detail about the expanded CORBRA benefit. Sure the government will pay 65%, but there is a NEW hidden tax on employer based health insurance to pay for it. So you get an extra $13 per week, but your health insurance might increase by $40. Just read the bill.

[drodope]

this is going to help so much i seen this old guy that worked at mc donalds and hes all bragging hes going to make 284 instead of 275,,hes going to buy a new car and put his kids in college,,,LOL,,,,yea right money dont work history tells us that but were to fucking stupid to change,,,YES WE CANT

[ranged2hard]

its actually 8x52. Good try in adding the random 13 dollars in there. But its not 13 dollars. its 8. $400 wont help people as much as it would. These tax breaks are just going to give people money they wont use to put into the economy. Most of these people will pay off debts or save it. Really, having tax breaks is what is going to ruin the economy. The point of the bail out is to get Banks to loan and get employers to hire again.

[Pingletons]

I'm going off the part of the video where it said 13 dollars a week in 2009, and 8 dollars week in 2010. Really though, I agree with you, tax breaks aren't going to do anything. Especially because most of my family makes over what the "middle class" bracket includes anyway. HOLY SHIT, that woman talking at :21 used to be my History teacher from 4 years ago. God, I hated that woman. You'd have detention if you didn't bring crayons.

[eekdog2005]

Bye Bye Dollar.....hello great depression!

[toneo2001]

Hey but we are getting a $13 dollar a week tax cut, so generous!!! Wait until the hidden tax hits (inflation) when all the goods we buy skyrocket!!! Not juts big screen tv's but milk and bread, etc, etc, etc..... The same ignorant people that fel for "hope and change" will be cheering this President for "doing something to fix bush's mess" and cursing the food growers, the oil barons, the shop owners,etc for raising their prices so much. These will not have a clue it was their messiah....

[jedwhelchel]

Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

[EquivocallyAbsurd]

Sounds to me like the working stiff is getting stiffed!

[rockingout1018]

a lot of us on youtube post comments that make us look like freakin economic specialists when the truth is we dont know jack squat of wat it will do.

Juss look at the comments below!

[ranged2hard]

one of the huge problems is the tax breaks... about 300 billion is because of that.. The tax cut is just gonna save each adult only 8 dollars a week.. thats nothing..

Why are tax cuts in there? Ask republicans -.-

[Pingletons]

Why are we grabbing a trillion dollars from the future? Ask Democrats. Kids today are going to have to pay for it. It seems that this "stimulus" is more about getting votes than fixing our broken economy, which by the way was caused by liberal idiots. Might a Stimulus be necessary? Yes, that is true, but where the money is being spent, and how it's being spent, I fail to see how it's going to prime the pump of the American economy.

[ranged2hard]

This wasnt caused by Liberals. This was caused by letting conservatives have their free market. This free market is what cause this economy crisis. Letting banks give loans to people who would have trouble paying them off in the future.

I agree with the fact that the bill has money being spent on unnecessary things. Its one of the reasons why there were MORE democrats who did NOT vote for the bill than Republicans who DID.

[ranged2hard]

part 2:

Were not supposed to be making the same failed policies of the past. What were those failed policies? Tax cuts, tax cuts, and did I mention tax cuts? We have 300 BILLION just for tax cuts thanks to conservatives. What would these tax cuts do? Well, how does $8 a week sound? Great thinking conservatives, Really.

[Pingletons]

13x52 = 676 + 8x52 = 416. 416 + 676 = 1092. So a thousand bucks is a waste to you? Your second paragraph just proved that way more Democrats voted for the bill to pass than Republicans did. Actually when you look at it, it tells you nothing. Lets say 2 republicans voted for the bill, and 3 democrats against it. That would mean way more republicans were against it. Could you tell me the actual numbers? Keynesian fallacy I think, won't work no matter how you look at it in these circumstances.

[jvforever72]

for the same reason people who have no kids in school pay a school tax , because the dummies before them spent more than they earned and are saddling the bill with the next generation .

that and because the administrators " misallocate " funds from the county , so they have to hike the school tax , in the guise of saving the children , in order to perpetuate their scam . poor schoolchildren , they don't know , they will be on the hook when they own a house LOL . JV

[RMTPROPERTIES]

As a proud member of the A.V.E.U. (American Varmint Extermination Union) I'm ecstatic to see that that my fellow brethren will be receiving $30,000,000 in funding to eradicate the Salt Marsh Mouse in Pelosi's Back Yard! (You laymen have no idea how much damage this mouse can do) Ridding our country of this pest is top priority in my book. I'll be doing my part by wisely spending my extra $13 per week on mouse traps!

Go Obama

Go Pelosi

Go Away Salt Marsh Mouse

[dustynbones]

It breaks down to approx., $100.00 for every man, woman and child living in America, egualling to a total of approx., $100.00 x 300,000,000 = $30 Billion Dollars or basically $28 Billion Dollars.

The remaining $750 Billion will go to Democrat controlled coffers for Businesses, Companies, Corporations and Institutions. The catch these Businesses, Companies, Corporations and Institutions have to kiss the rings of the leaders of the DNC or the DLC.

[dustynbones]

My Bag ... I should have said "Autocratic Controlled" in stead of "Democrat Controlled".

[flamesofnoobs]

Wow. $13 a week. I'm sure that will help us a lot! ( if you didn't realize this is sarcasm, 13$ ain't going to do shit, for people who are in hundreds on dollars in debt).

[jaapmr]

wow, after reading all these comments I now know why America is in such a bad state of affairs...people seem to be having trouble reasoning and formulating properly...Good luck America....

[kenyoung1981]

Wow! $13 dollars a week? Man I hope I don't spend it all at once.

[jefforama5]

dude thats over 600 dollars a year its another stimulus check. idiot.

[dustynbones]

Jefforama5,

Where is this $600.00 a year coming from when America is totally broke? Who's getting $600.00 a year?

It's coming from the "Futures Market" of the future generations born in America is where this money is coming from, because it doesn't exist.

[kyotova]

Want to stimulate the economy? Give everyone a slice of the money.

[Pingletons]

Giving everyone a slice of money won't work. We've already tried that, and almost everyone used it to pay off debts, or pay bills. No economy stimulation comes from that.

[kyotova]

Yes because taking on an FDR style infrastructure initiative is much better than letting the people spend their own money. I have no debts and that money would be used to buy luxuries, like a huge TV and a car. Already that helps two sectors of the economy.

[Pingletons]

First off all, I think that the stimulus bill is not going to work. Second off all, like I said, If we give everyone a 500 dollar check, THEY WILL USE IT TO PAY OFF DEBTS. Not one or two years ago, we tried this, people received their money, and where'd it go? Straight in the bank, or right out to pay a debt.

[kyotova]

They can give everyone twenty thousand dollars out of that money. What person would go and put that straight in the bank?

[Pingletons]

900,000,000,000 / 300,000,000 = 3000 dollars. Who wouldn't be receiving that money? I know that not all 300 million people would get it, but in order to receive that much ($20,000), only 1 out of every 7 people in the USA could recieve money.

[kyotova]

First of take all the minors out of the equation and take out everyone who is not the head of a household. Oh, but that would be subtracting which seems too hard for you.

[Pingletons]

Ok, If I take out minors, we are still left with 225,000,000 people we lost a whopping 25 Percent of people. In fact, lets make this easy. the average household in America is 2.5 people 300,000,000/2.5 = 120,000,000 households. That leaves us with only 1 in 2.7 house holds receiving money. In order for every household to get an even share, they could only receive about $7500 , not $20,000.

[Carnage546]

Oh boy...$13 extra a week will really help people who's debt exceeds hundreds of dollars beyond their normal paychecks.

Fuck stimulating the economy, if all the pork was really taken out of this thing, like studying freaking bears or building schools where nobody goes to school, then maybe we'd get over $13 extra a week.

It isn't going to help us, it'll only help lazy punks who can't work for money, which will encourage people not to get a job, which will make the situation worse.

Wake up!

[040895]

It's rewarding the lazy for placing a vote.

[040895]

So basically i'm getting $13.00 more in my check a week to..... help stimulate the economy? Wow, what will i buy first?Hmm... did the AP forget to tell us what all the illegals living in our country not paying taxes will get? Doubt it! I want to trade my $13.00 in for whatever Peggy, Julio or Henrietta are getting! A house, a new job, and never having to worry about putting gas in my car, or paying my mortgage. Can i get a koolaid over here? Make it a double!

[sopwithbadger]

This is the part where Obama said he would give money to people who would go out and spend it.

Pay attention

[stelmogunnut]

Ghettonomics on crack.

My poor country.

[DevBlazed]

Increased spending + reduced taxes = more debt

am i the only math whiz here??

the idea is to prolong our debt till we are more productive. Not going to work this time. we are too unemployed, too much in debt.

[waytoobored222]

We should lower spending and taxes.

[dustynbones]

It's not directly benefiting the "Common Man & Woman" or what is considered by the Founding Father's as "We The People". It indirectly works out to approx., $100.00 for every man, woman and child living in the USA.

They basically want Americans to continue to buy a Home or a Car ... At a time when the Common Man & Woman can not afford to buy a home. The money will be approved for Democrats to Pillage and Raid for Sweetheart Deals into failed Businesses, Companies, Corporations and Institutions.

[RG769]

I am a democrat and I can tell you that people who came up with this kind of plan should be fired immediately. This is the worst kind of give away ever imagined.

What the heck is it going to solve the housing crisis, create jobs or any other inspirational idea of any kind? Even a moron can do better then this wasteful first full dole out crap.

[rjanis123]

so, for us empty nesters, barely making it pay check to paycheck .. no help, only devalue our currency so as to speed up the over all decline of the American Dollar. Raise the dole any further, and I just may cause myself to be laid off... gee, um.. thanks??

[CPOSharkey01]

I can't wait to get my new Camaro built by Amtrak! :-). I will look good but ever so often run into a ditch!

[CPOSharkey01]

I like the DemocRATs comment on this bill it will create or save 4 million. How in the hell are they ever going to prove that they saved a job. This all socialist bullshit.

[xlioilx]

Cobra stinks no one ever gets it unless they are fucking retarded

[Beatnick79]

Notice what the headline say's, What the STIMULUS BILL MAY DO FOR YOU!

[ogapadoga]

$787 billion... one brand new railway system for new york will cost like only 7 billion.... hehehe

[arequipa1]

face it, obama doesn't have the faintest clue what the effects of this will be. or if he does, he just doesn't care. how the hell will we pay for this?!

[teemuruskeepaa]

You're just assuming that Obama "made" it and Obama "doesn't know", because you have been denied the scene where the A-team use their professional training to make an actual program.

[arequipa1]

ummm....no.

[battierpeeler]

how come idiots like you have sprung out everywhere? where was the fiscal responsibility when bush shat over everything for 8 years? it's not going to fix itself. a) there shouldn't be tax cuts. b) there should be more taxes. c) more government jobs. d) no bailouts

[ZoomBFX]

Hey everything was going great for bushs first term. Jobs were created, economy was strong. But then the democratic congress came in and Bush Decided he wanted to work with them. Thats were he f'd up.

Look what good that did. Government job huh? Youve never worked hard in your life have you?

[xlioilx]

what?

[coolvideoman]

Here's the problem - we spent to much money. Here's the Democrats solution - spend more money. Man what frickin geniuses you voted in.

[arequipa1]

that's funny. what a worthless argument. you don't know me at all, you have no idea what i was saying when bush was president. f you.

[aznguymetal]

Yeah, Bush spent about 5-7 trillion on a fu*king war in Iraq, so who more idiot ? Bush or Obama?

[waytoobored222]

That's also over a period of 7 years. He's been in office for less than a month.

[arequipa1]

i love how the implicaiton is that i'm praising bush. where did i say anything about bush, you tool? you leftists need to get over it. he is not in office anymore.

[erikarabin8924]

Its a depressant.
