William Greider is another clueless Keynesian. This not only won't work, but it will make things much worse. See Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, and other Austrian economists.

Government will direct things intelligently? Please...give me a break. What an idiot.

Obama's a different kind of govt. let the first black US president do his job and fix what bush did.

[bluesuit5]

OBAMA DID NOT FIX SHIT! PERIOD...The banks used those billions to do what? NOTHING.. they are collecting interest off the billions given to them. The economy is way worse then what they are saying, we are in serious trouble and there is no way out right now. One has to ask, is the economy better now then what it was prior to that HUGE CASH COW GIVE AWAY?

The economy would been better stimulated by that nearly 900 billion dollars if it were given to all U.S citizens to do with as they please

real,

Osama (I mean Obama) are both into USA destruction. One works outside USA the other inside.

You still don't get it, even after all the broken promises and lies. Where is the transparency?

What about the 5 days for the public to see and approve?

What about the horrible debt he is acquiring?

In less than 2 months, Obama has done more damage to USA than has been done in over 200 years.

yea i totally agree with government not running things efficiently. The role of government should be to protect people from irresponsible practices that many companies have, such as what recently happened with the housing bubble. But i only have one exception and i think that would be the military, or security services as they call them.

[abbienetvision]

Just looking at private enterprise (FedExpress) vs. the US Mail we can see that the gov't does a poor job of good businesses. Can't we learn from existing gov't programs to see that the gov't has no idea on running successful businesses?

[flamarko]

Next Step...

Amnesty Bill nonsense

Censorship nonsense

Gun Control / Confiscation nonsense

TOTAL CONTROL of the PEOPLE!

[putittogether]

The ignorance of it all is astounding. Its like my country is in a trance. Why is my country so stupid? Why do they trust the government?

Why would they agree to give over half their labor to the State, and think their enslavement to the State will benefit them, their family, and community.

The insanity of it all, just blows me away.

the Fed Reserve going to want it's money back one day
