I agree. We were fighting terrorist long before Bush. Al-queda doesn't care about time. They've been fightng for 1000 years, they'll fight another 1000. Even if we have a soldier for every square mile in Afghanistan, they'll just lie low and wait until we can't afford to stay there, and then rise up again once we leave. Afghanistan is unwinnable. We have agencies that deal with this kind of fight. It's not the military.

"The bottom line is this ... the govt has to do something to get us out of this economic tailspin." Hey Mr. Bill, how about stopping funding with our tax dollars to the tune of $400 million per day to your corporate friends in the Military-Industrial-Complex under the guise of the phony "War on Terror" ? That's right folks, $400 million per day. Perhaps we should start talking about it ? Read "The Mega-Lie Called The War on Terror: A Masterpiece of Propaganda" by Richard Behan. WAKE UP!

Did your stimulus bill help Sir?? How many FL residents did this bill help keep their homes Sir? Was the money wasted on perks and bonuses Sir?? How many jobs did this bill create Sir?? What new money for education Sir?? Where are the roads and bridges being fixed Sir?? Did this bill " jump start our economy" Sir? What jobs specifically has this bill created in FL Sir? Are we still in a "downward spiral" Sir?

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the

government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense

of taking care of them.

I disagree with your opinion of the bill, we should get government out of the economy so it can recover.

We do not need more government to stimulate anything, other than hatred, we do need less intrusion into our lives so that we can continue to thrive. Just as we once did 200 years ago.

Check the facts of the mistakes of the past, during the FDR days, the country was sold out and we almost went RED then, are going to continue that journey today?

Senator Nelson,

Why did you remove E Verify from the Stimulus Bill? Why do you care so little about poor American workers and always favor bringing in more immigrants to reduce our wages? Do you hope to gain new Democrat voters from immigrants while ignoring the people that made this country? Why have you done nothing to combat the massive fraud in the worker visa programs that steal American jobs?

nice talking points but what do they plan on doing about insolvent banks that haven't written down all of their losses yet? There also needs to be a comprehensive plan to deal with the current foreclosure rates and stabilize the housing market.
