Are you in favor of the stimulis package as it is now? ( Archived) (34)

The government's only concern is perpetuating itself. Never has any of them given a crap about "Joe SixPack" unless it lends some good rhetoric during an election. Once they're elected, its business as usual.

Interesting that Daschle stepped down from Health. I wonder how many more conflicts of interest are going to plague this Administration?

Or any administration.

Black skin. Business as usual.

Pork, pork, pork, with our local Taliban obstructing it all for the simple reason that they don't have any better ideas.

Get the money out of Washington and back into the hands of the people. That's economic stimulus. Otherwise, its the Potomac Two-step.

Too much pork from my point of view - so NO!

I have faith in this administration and I think this stimulus package is a step in the right direction. We have a tough road ahead though!! It is a work in progress and we are headed in a new direction. Anything is better than the last 8 years

we're dooomed, i fear its every like minded person for themselves.

The only thing this stimulus helps are the people who gave us that credit. Stop imports, stop outsourcing, stop volume distribution from countries that are ostensibly our enemies (Microsoft, Adobe, and Intel and India, Walmart and China. That's so goooood for our economy. <sarcasm> )

there will be no perfection in this,,for those that take the "arm chair" approach,,nothing will resolve the problems

By all means. Believe in yourself. Believe in the American people. But do NOT believe the government.

Even in this new Administration, dissent is not disloyalty. That was the rhetoric we dealt with the last 8 years. Be ready for more of the same, this time from a leftist body.

Ultimately Fascist and Socialist agendas are the same. Grow the government. We must be the bulwark against this special interest pork. Let your leaders know, if they don't do their job for their constituents rather than their special interests, we WILL find somebody who will.

Boycott the "fat cats" that have cultivated this mess

"The term corporate welfare is widely used to describe the bestowal of favorable treatment to particular corporations by the government. One of the most commonly raised forms of criticism are statements that the capitalist political economy toward large corporations allows them to ‘privatize profits and socialize losses’,”

In the same time fearsely saying that Socialism is something "Anti American" - becomes the greatest joke in US History - because what happens here is "take the money from the people and give them nothing in return" - while socialize losses back in taxes to the people..

Production ´? - OK - As long as Californian wine costs 1,99 € instead 3,99 $ for the same brand in the US - I can help to support your economy ..

cheers

First, the government's role is to nurture, not enable. Make sure there is a ROI on every welfare dollar spent. Skill-enhancement should be emphasized. Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day, teach him to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.

Secondly, in business, do not reward failure. Punish it. I'm sick of incompetent rich people getting government money. If you're mentally incompetent, you're not fit to lead, and darwinian logic says you must die off. That is Adam Smith.

Thirdly, Level the playing field economically. Tally up the 800 billion dollars and give an equal share back up to the tax payer. Hey, I could start a hell of a business with $320k.

your first paragraph sound like the "ceta" program in the late 70" early 80's during the bad times then, i worked in that program unemployment rate was 14 percent in my state at the time,
people were against ceta and there were debates about the marits.
but i thought it helped everyday people put food on the table and you earned it, many folks were trained in work they never did before, while earning a paycheck, i say bring back ceta or similar for the people.

also agree with the third point you make, would come in handy bout" now!

IT MUST BE PASSED! It's going to save the world.


(in reality, it's payback for Obama getting elected.) In 2-3 years we'll see inflation out of control. One trillion dollars to create or "save" 3 million jobs.

Hell, for that kind of money, I could create all kinds of jobs.
Mainly hiring maids and servants.

It was called the Oregon Educational Therapy Administration up here. My mom went back to high-school, got her diploma, and was actually qualified to be more than a home-maker, all the while getting paid like it was her job. And when it was all done, she could be more than a janitor.

All part of the shift toward totalitarianism that they require to keep their positions in an ever more populated world. Without predators, we prey on our own. That is not just human nature, but nature itself.

I love everything you wrote...
