  • Most economic package my ass.

  • "The stimulus only stimulated Chris Matthews' leg." ---Congress of Racial Equality National Spokesman Niger Innis to Sean Hannity, Aug. 18, 2011

  • We need to reach every factory that has been dumping cement bags of Hydrochloride Acid, Blue -40, and every other chemicals that are responsible for all the human cancers, strokes and tumors in our bodies.

  • 1st part? Transparency? The plan on both sides should be simple-reduce spending-not increase it. Progressive Repub's and Dem's are leading this country down the tube-we're at the mercy of China, Russia, the Ins. co. , banks...they own our debt, they own us. We need a President to take action-Obama hasn't provided fixes-just more of the same at a faster rate!  Unemployment is @ 9.7%, higher than when he took office. CREATE real jobs, not government jobs!!

  • he said, "to create jobs" 0:21

    okayyyy. that was feb 2009. its dec. 2009 and we have like 5 million more people out of work.

    so whats the deal mr. prez?

  • fuck allah

  • Our economy is already burnt out on all the previous government stimulus: the many Bush tax cuts, subsidies, and the absurdly low 1% interest rates set by the Fed. None of this will change the fact that a banking system is still insolvent, infested with Zombie banks that only stay in business because we just changed a rule to let them value their junk real estate backed assets at nearly their pre-crash value, when they're worth FAR less now. We need to take our drugs away, not take more.

  • lol epic fail... "the beginning of the end" is right. 5% spike in unemployment and a weakened dollar. sweet, obama. thanks!

  • There is NO job creation that lasts more than a few days in this; period. READ WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING. Liberals have no sense of the private sector; they don't understand what makes an economy go.......never have, never will. A horrendous policy that will be unraveled starting with the elections of 2010.

  • ObamaObamaObamaObama

  • 787 billion dollars will now go to the rich.

  • So how many of our congressman READ the bill? Does it not worry you at all that this was put through so fast that nobody had time to read it?

  • Gee Thanks Obama!

    Thanks for the nice little debt bill you just signed, you basically just changed the meaning of debt in the future.

  • Well, he had to spend some money to get us out of this. If he took a Laissez-faire approach, who knows we would probably still be in a recession or worse10 years from now.

  • Odumbo is a stupid fucking commie pig.

  • did you know that barack obama signed the stimulus package on the same desk that bill clinton got his package stimulated???

  • Wait, did this little boy just say that Republicans stood behind this abortion of a SPENDing plan?

    This motherfuckers got a lot of nerve.

  • Create jobs?lol

    Thats a FUCKING JOKE

  • Obama is purposely destroying the dollar.

    Obama Bin' Lyin, Impeach Now!

    He is fool of it!

  • The Dept Of Defense briefed the president this morning and told OBAMA

    that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq . To everyone's surprise, all

    the color drained from Obama's face.

    Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly

    shaken, almost in tears.

    Finally, he composed himself and asked, 'Just how many

    is a brazilian?'

    This is especially enlightening since he obviously has no understanding of billion or trillion either. (i just couldn't resist....hehehe !!)

  • This was a George Bush joke.

    Nice try.

  • This is just cruel. America already has 53 trillion in debt and Obama does this when it's proven by history that it dosen't work?!? What would happen if China and Mexico and Canada want their money back? It would destroy the dollar!

    God damn America for making this man president!

  • And the last change we need is socialism.

    Rest assured, however, my fellow conservatives, every Reagen needs his Jimmy Carter.

  • i would like to thank everybody who voted for this nigger you just fucked everyone thank you

  • Comon people, he IS the president, he was in Congress for a couple months. That makes him infinately more than qualified to do the job. He Biden, Pelosi and Reid (not to mention Michele) are going to fix it all, and in the first hundred days. He is almost there. He can see the whites of our eyes. Hope, Change, Yes We Can!

  • I read the stimulus bill, and only got halfway through the first section before it started to smell like old fish. It sets out a plan for expansion of broadband internet, but when you get into it and read the details, it allows the Fed gov't to condemn land for confiscation by the Fed gov't. The law used to justify the broadband provision is from 1936, and doesn't even mention the internet, it is a law regarding POWERLINES, not communications. Who ever wrote this POS is a moron.

  • ^These are the dipshit liberals that deserve to have the right to vote taken away from them. First of all, find a dictionary. Read it. Then, work on your sentence syntax--and maybe some grammar. Maybe then you can attempt to actually educate yourself a little on what you voted for-- redistribution of wealth, expanding government, and higher taxes.

    So much for the land of oppurtunity, we have now become the land of entitlement.

  • Look up hypocrite in the dictionary and you will see the picture of our president...One thing is for sure, the media and the myopic disciples of this fraud (one and the same) will cover for this guy as long as they possibly can, until things get sooo bad that Americans, at least those with a brain, will wake up and make this loser a one-termer...These "stimulus" packages are like throwing gas on a fire to try to put out the flames. I say "these" because YOU KNOW there are more coming!

  • What a lying sack of crap, He promised no earmarks or special projects" That SOB just signed into law, 9000 earmarks,

    On March 11 09. Another promise broken. I wish I never voted for this lying sack of crap

  • If he would have vetoed the bill, he would just have to wait longer for a finished product (considering how slow congress is.) He is just going to have to compromise

  • To what, The United State of Socialism. It is not just the last tens years it has been much long than that. Obama will bust the bank and kill the economy by raising taxes instead of cutting. Of the $787 bill. 93% is spending & 7% is stimulus. Some stimulus package! The so called tax cut is a tax credit & you will pay taxes on that money next year. The largest spending & tax bill in America history.

    The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Thomas Jefferson

  • u prolly don't have two parents who work really hard and are succesful, they are achievers and we have to pay for scum like you who do nothing for a living

  • Your parents have nothing to do with it.

    Obama is a socialist, and would be much more likely to let people sit on there ass....

    Spending more money on this problem is retarded, we need to let it correct itself. We keep printing money and making it worth less!

    It's not even backed by gold and we owe 17 TRILLION. Where do you think we're getting this money???? PRINTING IT out of thin air.

    Wake up man.

  • ur a loser...its the constitution...i guess u wanna pay more taxes for a 787 billion dolla stimulus??? o thats right... u want the government to rule...u think socialism is the answer

  • I guess Obama doesn't understand where this money is coming from. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. My mom has 2,000 withdrawn from her paycheck while illegal aliens don't pay taxes because they get paid under the table. FUCK YOU OBAMA!

  • too right man...

  • Sry btw, didnt' realize you weren't defending socialism.

  • Me???? I am??? I think obama is a sack of shit president who is bleeding socialism...red my channel...obama is a socialist and I am a conservative...

  • Yea I figured that out a little late lol

    Sorry bro.

  • its cool...as long as you see this loser's lies and socialistic tactics..you are forgiven...amen lol

  • Now this loser is trying to change amendments...what the hell does this man think he's doing? He's all high and mighty because he's black? No, I am not a racist, and I don't intend to be...but this guy fooled everybody with this change...This change is changing our constitution!!! This man is sick... 125 million in this bill is going to honey bee insurance? They all die anyways..another 25 million is going to ATV parks...This man sure knows how to waste money... There are 3 people you guys..

  • of course now.. people see this cloud of lies...one by one people are admitting what a fool they were...falling for the "black president" thing

  • this guy has already screwed up this country and he hasnt been in office in 2 months my kids are in debt over stupid shit like global warmin research and other stupid shit will pepople realize he is a huge mistake

  • Anyone wonder why the stock market falls EVERYDAY? This guy is actually promising to destoy the ecomomy and businesses

  • what the fuck is this bill? I think this is the worst idea ever and don't get me wrong, I'm a liberal, but there's no denying that this is a horrible waste of billions of dollars that we dont have. excuse my political innacuracies, as the next numbers aren't correct I'm just expressing my frustration. $200 million for filipino WWII vets? $90 million for sex ed? $40 billion for studies of global warming? huge investments in Amtrak? wtf obama... I'm disappointed in you...

  • dont these things save money in the long haul. you have to invest in things that will lower the deficit. speaking of sex ed. how much do we spend for std's.

    are these only earmarks to those who mainly want more money to go to THEIR Coorporations or business.

    no one else knows any long term solution.

    we were wasting money anyway for the last 8 years why not wast it into things that will have long term effects.

    let me know of any more earmarks. they said it was 9000

  • as far as sex ed goes, they're spending $335,000,000 on it...

    Kids keep your genitalia away from those of the opposite sex until you are married! and If you just can't wait use a dam condom!

    There, that little tidbit was free, definitely didn't cost over 300 million dollars.

  • wait, I didn't finish my thought... the CDC, which is the organization that the money is going to, is using that money for prostitute and tranny beauty pageants... sounds like a stimulus bill to me.

  • if that s the case then the money that is sent a more suitable place can be misplaced as well by those who are over it.

    there has to be oversight and accountability

  • Speaking of the last eight years; it took Bush all eight of those years to grow a one trillion dollar deficit...it took Obama only a month to triple that figure.

    You want to know how to fix capitalism...simple, with capital.

    How does capital work? Commerce.

    How do we get commerce to work? Lower expenditures across the mercantile spectrum by cutting taxes across the social classes evenly and raise wages.

    People spending money equals commerce...Capital...Capitalis­m.

  • Finally, SOMEONE WHO MAKES SENSE! Way to go revolutionist313!

  • I think that you deserve a lot of credit making this statement brennan247! You see that spending money on ridiculous projects and social programs is not stimulus. Why don't more people see this?

  • People want change but remain complacent and content with having people making all the decisions for them. They would rather not know how it works, they just want results but are too lethargic to implement action themselves; that's why it was so easy for people to become brainwashed with this campaign for Presidency. It's how ancient dictatorships begin to reign power; unfortunately, people are still falling for it.

    Whatever happened to "We the People"?

  • "We the people" revolutionist313 went out the door with this Jack-ass becoming president. My stocks are almost gone. This is sickening. No summer vacation, I may have to get a part time job. Thanks alot Obama you FOOL!!

  • thank you...this guy is bleeding socialism and a die hard liberal...something needs to be done

  • Ooooo Change! Change! Yes we can! Yes we can!

    Stupid liberals....where are they now?

  • I'll tell you where they are Mattsf2003, they are working on making you government dependant. They want to destroy the free market system so they can promote their worthless agenda! When are people going to realize these liberals care about one thing, POWER!!

  • My people perish for a lack of knowledge

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

  • mr. president obama

  • obama,obama,obama  we got faith in you , god bless

  • Republicans, please stop opposing the bailout for the American people.

  • When obama actually proposes a bailout... all he has porposed is spending for liberal groups. Thansk the the Republicans over $100 BILLION was cut out. Obama calls anything that goes against him partisanship. How dare we question him.

  • what are some of the earmarks

  • What you mean Davmoran1 is "The spending bill that will saddle our children and grandchildren for years". It is being opposed because it is a bad bill. It has very little job creation and billions for social programs. Where's the change?

  • I think the Republicans already did that for the Democrats over the last eight years, "dooky."

    It is being opposed simply because spending money on the nation is considered "liberal" nowadays by neo-cons.

  • You forget Davmoran1, congress controls the economy much more that this or any other president. Spending money when you don't have it is wrong for the government and anyone else. YOU CAN'T SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF A RECESSION!

  • Oh I see.

    You are one of the whackjobs who believe in the grand right wing fairy tale of how "The New Deal" failed right?

    I guess you've also never heard of the Federal Reserve Board appointed by the President?

    Please read a book.

  • No Davmoron, You are the idiot that thinks spending money you don't have brings you success. You worship Obama thinking you are going to be saved. Your liberty is disapearing and you have no idea why?

  • You make me think of a Ronald Reagan quote.

    "Facts are stupid things."

    The New Deal involved spending.

    A lot of spending.

    During the Great Depression.

    If I happen to disagree with your flawed logic, I worship Obama?

    I'm not worried about my liberties.

    But you may want to worry about your own sanity.

  • Idiot. You are not going to convince me of anything Davmoron. You don't care about your liberties because you are a communist.

  • Oh and one thing.

    McCarthyism failed.

  • Wait until you get a load of four years of this idiot Davmoron! "McCarthyism failed"? I guess you think Socialism is the answer? Everywhere Socialism has been tried, IT HAS FAILED! Do you have rocks in your head?

  • One other thing Davmoron, It wasn't FDR that got us out of the depression, it was world war ll. FDR started all this government spending garbage, look where it got us? That's right! BIGGER GOVERNMENT! Isn't that great?? This kind of activity is called socialism. It has failed everywhere in the world it has been tried. Why try it here? I'll bet you don't spend more than you have, do you?

  • The change is that under THIS administration spending on things like schools is cut out and handing out more food stamps is in.

  • When Obama says "The beginning of the end", he's right. The end of Democracy, self responsibility and capitalism! This guy is the biggest PHONY EVER to become president. How did this happen?

  • Since I see that you are hopeless, I'll say one thing.

    You're an idiot.

  • Oh its not just Republicans! Its your fellow Democrats too!

    Thanks for destroying the Dollar Obama, thanks alot.

  • Really.

    I wonder what happened to the surplus under President Bush?

  • Ok? So I never said anything about Bush, he was terrible too.

  • Point blame in the right direction, rather than blaming the next guy at the helm.

  • It doesn't matter who's to "blame" what matters is whats happening now, and what Obama just did is give us bunch more debt.

  • I hate to tell you this, but you're "blaming" right now.

    Unlike most here, I'd rather have Obama do something than nothing.

  • I would rather see Obama do nothing than continue doing things that cost taxpayers billions and produce no positive results. He seems to think he has the solution to every problem and rushes into changing everything that he thinks is broken. He is an arrogant egomaniac. He thinks he is the only living person who can right all wrongs. Myself, I don't think he is that brilliant, he is just a slick talking con man who was elected for no other reason than he is not George W. Bush.

  • Right, as you say this, I bet you do not realize how worse the economy would be if this bill were not signed into law. Conservatives claim that liberals waste taxpayer money, and yet that would be calling the kettle black. Republicans in general only "believe" in what you saying, simply because most of what the President has done, is fix the mistakes of your party.

    Besides, all the Republican governors seem content in taking the stimulus money.

  • So smart guy, what would have happened if this bogus, bailout giveaway had not been passed? You brought it up so I will wait patiently for an answer. I doubt that you have a clue what would have happened. Yes, the economy is broken, I just don't think Obama is the one who can fix it. He is just giving away money. That seems to be his solution to every problem and it hasn't worked. Of course I will await your reply as to how this has helped.

  • You seem to be narrow-minded, so I'll respond in kind. When the recession began, the Bush Administration ignored it, and Republicans seemed to think that tax cuts for the rich would solve every problem. The Stimulus package covered the holes that the conservatives into the economy, and forced the worst of this recession to pass.

    Why is it that Republicans are so infuriated with funding domestic needs, but are so willing to increase an over-inflated defense budget?

  • Why did you not answer my question? When liberals don't have an answer to a tough question they always resort to blaming Bush and republicans for all of our countries problems. OK. They are at fault. Now maybe you would care to elaborate on your statement. How much worse would the economy be if the economic stimulus package had not been passed? " Covered the holes"? What in the hell does that mean? "Domestic needs"? As in banks and the UAW? "Defense budget"? Are you forgetting Afghanistan?

  • I did answer your question, yet you refuse to listen to me. Conservatives tend to have a short-term memory, so I do not blame you.

    "Covering the holes" would mean the spots of the economy that are weakest.

    Do I really have to teach you Economics 101?

    And what "domestic" means?

  • Save your economics lesson for Obama and Barney Frank. They need it more than I do. I am asking you to be more specific in your definitions, what "holes" were covered, what "domestic needs" were funded? I am only looking for answers as to how my tax dollars are being spent but no one really seems to know, not even you. I know one thing for sure, none of it was given back to me, not one red cent. So mister economic genius, where has the money gone?

  • The money goes into state spending, i.e. state pensions, health care, education, defense, protection(police and fire departments), transportation, general government, "other spending" that defines anything not under any other branch, and interest for public debt.

    Really, if you want to know at all of this, go look at your state government's spending charts.

  • We live in the state of Washington which has something like a $6 billion deficit. Oh, by the way, we have a democratically controlled legislature and a democratic governor who was recently elected to her second term. Teachers are being laid off, I am a care provider (health care) and my hours have been cut. Unemployment is rising, people are loosing their homes to mortgage defaults. So where is this stimulus money that is supposed to fix all of this? I am seeing things getting worse not better.

  • As far as I know, most of the stimulus money has yet to be spent by the state governments, and it is taking time. I would talk with your public officials about all of this.

    Again look at Washington's spending charts, and see for yourself where the stimulus money is going.

    Until we actually see the results of the Stimulus package in the long term, I wouldn't declare it a success or failure.

  • Well, if we don't know if the stimulus package has been a success or failure why would we want to try a second one as is being proposed. Obama's rhetoric and fancy speeches are wonderful but all I know is that none of this stimulus money is finding it's way into our household. That is the reality we are living with. I understood that the stimulus was supposed to benefit working families in some way. We are waiting!

  • The "second stimulus" is currently being talked down by the administration, as they watch the money drip into the states.

    Again, you can't expect everything to suddenly happen right away.

  • Yeah, well my change in income happened right away and I haven't heard anything that indicates it will be reversed. The first cuts they made here were in education and health care.We are being told by Obama that we need to make sacrifices but I don't see our wealthy government officials taking a cut in pay like I have had to do. I bet when the time comes, they will vote to give themselves a pay raise like they always do. So how long is this "dripping" supposed to take?

  • haha wait...so increasing taxes is the solution?

  • go ahead ... just put a chip in my brain.

  • Not to mention all the money the stimulus bill is money that they took from us already. Now their giving it back. Wow! brilliant plan. (sarcasm) Why not cut our taxes and let us keep it in the first place? Answer: because they need their cut first!

  • Bush sends soldiers into a war he doesn't intend to win in Iraq, now Obama is sending troops into Afghanistan to fight a war that cant be won - after I might add running on a n anti-war platform. He's a liar like Bush. Bush spends billions of dollars on a stimulus bill that doesnt accomplish anything, now Obama's doing the same. WAKE UP!

  • We desperately need a third party in this country. You think the Dems are better than Repubs? They are the same thing with very slight differences in social policies.

  • The right-winged neo con gop's need to either man up, sit down and either work in bi-partisan ship to the fix this country, or shut up, give up their seats of power, and get out of DC and STAY AWAY from Wall St.

    The current crisis is the results of their pandering and whoring to corporate America and the war on the middle class and poor. Those treasonous bastards by far are the an even bigger enemy of the American people than any terrorist could EVER hope to be.

  • it was the democrats who blocked regulations for the mortgage market... go look it up, democrats and the bankers are very close

  • Yes and with this bill they are doing the same mistake that what put us into this crisis

  • Im so tired of these whining as conservatives! Its your fault we are in this mayhem!

  • lol.

  • Way to go Obama..................you stupid Mother Fucker. You have no idea what you've done. This is the beginning of the end all right. The end of Democracy and the beginning of Socialism!!!!!!!!

  • Well if wasn't for the conservatives we wouldn't be in this fine mess would we!

  • yes we would. ALL the politicians did this. not just one group.

  • This wont save the economy this makes it worst for the whole WORLD!

  • BUY GOLD !!!!!

  • i think president obama needs some recommendations and support to get the economy back on track.this is just the begining..thank you mr.president and God bless

  • "Fuck the Republicans??" It was the Asshole Dems, that wrote this ridiculous Spending,Spending Bill..Obingo..pelosi, reid, cox, dodd, shumer, F'ing Frank..this "bill' was passed thru by a straight across the board, 1 party...(Demojerks)..only 3 traitor Rep. went along with the Dem.gang, in the Senate. None of them read this 1,107 pg.,5 lb. document that is going to put this Country in a Great Depression,far worse than the 1929 one.

  • yes indeed" fuck the republicans"! and ill say it again and again! so what? republicans dont wont to do anything to hepl out this country? republicans are the most wasteful spendinders in america! they doubled the national debt and yet they say "democrats" are wasteful BLAH! vote democrate!

  • last time I checked, the Democrats control congress and thus they control the purse strings. Any thing that's wrong financially, is wrong because of the Democrats.

  • (Give me a break) Right! Who could argue with that? Because Democrats are the Jedi and the Republicans are the Dark Side. I'm Yoda, I thought I told ya.

  • i say vote democrat because they are the least of the two evils of both parties =/ i disagree with many of the democrats views but I look at the past presidents. when a republican is usually in office the economy is usually messed up and when a democrat is in office =/

  • Thats exactly the trap both parties want us to fall into. "Well this party is the lesser of two evils so I pick them" If someone offered to let you chop off your arm or your leg, would you start deciding which one you could live better without? Your a slave to a two party system that mocks you behind your back. VOTE INDEPENDENT!!!!

  • i love the INDEPENDENT!!!! :) I agree with everything they want to do :) it just sucks that they will never get elected =/ i dont like both parties at all!

  • Oh yeah?? Let me ask you a question or two..Who got us into this mess in the first place? Who's idea was it to go into Iraq because of WMD's first?..

  • its the f**8ing republicans!!! vote democrat!!

  • look at what the republicans have done lol look around u! so you would rather spend more money on a war that we shouldnt be in instead of helping our country out? you are a moron!

  • britishare69......it's obviously that are a follower of "The Chosen One" if u believe the crap that he is telling this Country..read most of these intelligent comments here,and maybe,you'll learn something!! stop being an IDIOT listening to the B.S. this fool is spewing out.. Jackass!!! once again,ASSHOLE DEMS, including U!!

  • AGREE....when will these zombies wake the fcuk up!

  • Hey Guys the Stimulus Really works the Dow was up 3% on 2/18/09......Yeah Right This stimulus isn't going to do anything but make matters worse

  • Four more and out the door.

  • It called "socialize losses and privatize profits", corporate welfare. Yes, Obama has brought us change we can believe in. He has changed from Barack Obama into George W. Bush. Puppets change but the puppet masters remain the same.

  • The only thing that can get this economy back on track is to abolish the IRS and enact the fairtax policy. The neocons and the liberals have failed us. We need to try something new while we can.

  • stimuluss is coming yesssss long life to obama

  • The only stimulus you're getting is that of an invisible hand that just stole $6000 plus Interest out of your pocket, thats assuming you actually generally work for a living. Otherwise enjoy your food stamps.

    You haven't read the bill have you?

    I'll refresh your memory its called H.R. 1

    and S1 from the "111th congress".

    Shit at least Bush mailed you a check. I lose $13 a week in change just in my couch..

  • and less life for you, I would assume.

  • Obama is one sick man!

  • totally agree!

  • Yea well I do, she is actually watching me type this right now. What do you want? A copy of our marriage license?

    Don't be jealous, just because you have never been with a girl before. Its ok, i'm sure you can hire one someday. Use the stimulus check.

  • oh, ok. Is she inflatable. Sorry, those don't count.

  • You would know all about inflatable women wouldn't you? I'm not really surprised you brought it up. lulz.

  • ok ok ok. that one made me laugh. Can we just wrap it up? I'm in a wonderful relationship with the woman I want to spend my life with. I'm sure you are too and I'm happy for you... Let's just leave it that way. How's that? Peace. It was nice arguing with someone I've never met. lol!

  • You are a good sport sir, cheers!

  • you too! Your pretty funny.

  • Fuck Obama

  • Puerto Rico not Included into the Stimulus bill?Puerto Rico is getting nothing out of the Stimulus bill, but Barack Obama promised Puerto Ricans "Change" and many Puerto Ricans still haven't been able to see any real change. Puerto Rico is currently in a recession and in need of some of that stimulus. Puerto Ricans demands that Barack Obama Moretake into account the Puerto Rican people living on the Island. We wanted Change and we didn't get a DIME!

  • Call Congress and Demand Puerto Rico be part of the Stimulus!

  • i hope that puerto rico will be an independent country soon

  • Now Barack Obama and the democRAT party own the economy of this country. No more Bush to blame. This economy was caused by the democRATs now they think they think they can fix it with PORKULUS. This is going to be good. These criminals are going to rob the working man blind.

  • The president of change just gave his fat cat corporate buddies a trillion dollar bonus and he gave us the bill.

    Oh well he gives a good speech though.

  • What does this mean for America?

  • the sky is falling, the sky is falling. NOT! can't you republican and libertarian pessimists stop singing that stale old song. we will survive. and we will be a different country. and a better one for it.

  • The New Deal didn't work in the 1930's and it won't work now. FDR's own Treasury secretary, Henry Morganthau said in May 1939: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong ... somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises." May God help us all.

  • Game over suckers! We are done for! Good luck everyone, the next few years will be VERY interesting. Its back to our basic instinct...to survive, and many have lost that. Best of luck to those who don't know how to survive - Your fucked

  • HAHA and it keeps going down! Blaming Bush isn't going to find you a new job!!! YES WE CAN!!!!

  • Trade is base on a product you dont have apples for bannans ext. not for thngs you do have. Free trade is a race to the bottom thinkng slave labor no environmental standards turn a blind i unsafe product thinkers These are the same people who buy blood diamonds.child forced labor products to save a dollar .. Hypocrites are what they are. Fair trade is trading with countries that have similar human rights and standards and wages. When you BUY AMERICAN we know most of these demands are met

  • Maybe a homeless person wont get any funding out of this bill but at least he will be able to see a Broadway show.

  • Americans make the best products in the world And are watched and policed by all American citizens to make sure products are made safely as can be Or they are fined or sued. Companys that leave USA in make products elsewhere is for low standers ,slave wages,ect Other countries have much more closed markets. In japan only 5% of there cars are foreign made because of there gov. and there more patroitic. Many Americans used to be, lets be again. Go on line to USA MADE. Fair decent jobs USA MADE.

  • Ever heard of a black mans wad?

    one large bill wrapped around a stack of 1 dollar bills.. That's what we have now.. B. Hussein has nigga rigged our economy..

  • Why did the anti christ use 10 pens to sign his signature to the stimulus bill?

    Ever heard of the 10 horns of the beast.. I wonder who the recipients of those pens will be?

  • Hey but we are getting a $16 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....

  • what a fucking idiot!!! where is the money going to come from???? We cannot borrow it! The only way is to print it....and that will cause the dollar to devalue and inflation will be born. Pay off you bills and get your savings as high as you can now because its coming. Prepare yourself. You think Jimmy Carter was bad....this idiot is 10 times worse...

  • Yep....you're right on

    "Welcome Back, Carter"

  • from rich folks who either don't or won't pay their fair share of taxes. the bush vultures(i mean chickens) are coming home to roost.

  • lowbottomranch:

    You're obviously the one misinformed

    Dems proposed the LARGEST budget in history & threatened to hold up funding for the troops if Bush vetoed

    Bills have to go thru committee & gain 60% support. On S190 that would've given more oversight to Fannie/Freddie, all Repubs supported & needed only ONE Dem to gain 60% support. The Dems were more concerned over their sweetheart deals & all voted against

    Your party is so corrupt -- it's sickening

  • lowbottomranch:

    Who has controlled Congress for the past two years?

    By the way, taxes for the wealthy actually INCREASED under Bush

    You're obviously brainwashed

  • but ytdsmom, who controlled the white house?

  • obamadidit: Try educating yourself --- you are a prime example of what's wrong in this country.

    Do you not understand the power of Congress? They control the purse strings...

    The rich not pay their "fair share"?? LMAO!!

    Is nearly 1/2 of someones income not good enough? What IS fair then in your opinion?

    Many have had student loans, made sacrifices, worked hard, etc.

    Go watch: "Taxes explained with Beer Pink Floyd"

  • ytdsmom, you should pay more than 50 % in taxes. I'm thinking more like 75 %. With all that money your making,you can afford it and I'll be able to get my teeth straightened compliments of the gov't with your money, lol

  • He just signed away the future of next generation. I thought Obama was going to end ear marks. Also have complete transparency. Looks to me like the lord and savior is a big eared liar. The dumbed down government educated media myrmidons voted in this bunch of criminals. Its the beginning of the end of this country.

  • mics it will be a better country than what it was

  • Are you crazy ? Trillions of $ in debt makes a better country ? More government control in our lives .More people on welfare. HOW GENIUS???

  • well, it might make us FINALLY sacrifice some ideas and lifestyles and illusions under bush. like owning more than 1 house. like buying a house merely to fix it up and sell it at a profit. like driving around in gas guzzling cars. living in mc mansions.expensive "vanity fair" junk

  • obamadidit:

    You are so damn dumb

    Lifestyles changed drastically under Bush? LOL!!

    What about the "dot com" era under Clinton when people became quite wealthy?

    And now.......you think it's wrong to own a vacation home or invest in real estate? Thank God there are people who can buy up real estate......there are plenty of people out there who need to rent

    And yes.....I love my Tahoe! My family's safety is important to me

    Do you know what "Freedom" means dumb bell?

  • Sacrifice? You mean go back to horse and buggy while the Hollywood learjet liberals live high on a hog? I don't see what is wrong with owning more than one house. The problem was the banks were loaning money to unqualified borrowers. People that had no way of paying their monthly payment. The reason they did that because the democRATs community reinvestment act. They were under pressure from the fed to make these bogus loans. The government caused this melt down not the free
