I agree with every single thing Mr. Schiff said here except the part about electing leaders. I don't want to be lead. I only want to be represented. That's all I ask.

Schiff for president !

@jboyko3 You need leaders too, because not all voters are intelligent enough to be represented.

You've got your facts wrong. Under Bush, the TARP bill was not intended to create jobs. It was to provide temporary liquidity to financial institutions. The TARP loans have been largely repaid. However, the funds have not been repaid to the Treasury, they have been used for a slush fund by the Democrats. Most people do not make a distinction between TARP which did its job has been repaid, and the Stimulus which has been an utter failure. Please, please, at least get the facts right.

Well joboyko3 to a typical politician representation means bringing home the pork which also means earmarks. What you want is someone who doesn't want to be a politician, someone who has actually worked for a living, not a community organizer.

That`s why he`s in a suit talking behind a desk, he has no need for such money as one can easily see, so it`s obvious he is indifferent to it. Those poor disabled people can barely even get by on what they get anyway, president Obama promises much, but delivers little. The stimulus should have come in march. This isn`t a by the people country anymore it`s run by a bunch of ungodly unchristian people who are running it into the ground. Envision impeachment or move to the UK.

The United States is still the third largest exporter at nearly $1 trillion a year, although we still import more. We don't "not make anything." And services are not "fluff." There are many services that people need, just as there are many material goods that they don't need. Better to export, say, call center services like India does, than to export rubber hammers made in a factory. The United States exports a lot of food. That's a material good people really need.

Does what your father do or what he as done in the past, determine who you are or whether you are right or wrong? It might change how other look at you through association but it doesn't change who you are.

@baigandine China did do a stimulus as well, but there are key differences. First off China actually has money. Every single dollar we spend on stimulus had to be borrowed so it actually will end up costing us much more than reported. Second, China produces things while the US has an economy that is mostly made up of consumption and service sector fluff. If we were borrowing to build factories that would be ok, but we are borrowing to pay people not to work and to bail out wall st.

i have an even better idea though. lets just print out money and give it back to the taxpayer. the paper is pretty cheap and we have lots of it. everyone wins.

that a vote by someone like you can cancel mine out makes me weep.
