ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
So come on democRATS…lets hear from you. Do you really support this bill? If so….tell us why. And justify if you will, all the pork spending.
All that and not a penny for little ol’ me.
I am reporting you to his holiness, the Barack. For it is written, he that questions him shall be doomed to a life of higher taxes, more government intrusion and bleak prospects. Those that do not oppose him shall receive money from those that work.
i believe the term everyone is using is ‘pork’
Thanks…goes to show they need a good colon cleansing….and we knew it…it is a shame the ones that voted them in don’t know it.
GOP leaders in the House on Monday put out a list of what they call wasteful provisions in the Senate version of the stimulus bill. Some of the measures include:
• $650 million for the digital television (DTV) converter box coupon program.
• A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film.
• $1 billion for the 2010 census.
• $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters. Read the list of ‘wasteful’ items
The $819 billion bill that passed in the House last week is two-thirds spending and one-third tax cuts.
Much of the $550 billion in spending is divided among these areas: $142 billion for education, $111 billion for health care, $90 billion for infrastructure, $72 billion for aid and benefits, $54 billion for energy, $16 billion for science and technology and $13 billion for housing.

One change already made in the Senate version is the addition of $71 billion to fix the Alternative Minimum Tax, which was intended to place a tax on the wealthy but now hits many middle-class families.
The Senate bill also adds a $300 payment to seniors, disabled people and others who can’t work, and suspends taxes on the first $2,400 of unemployment benefits
Ok..whoever said this is going to create jobs needs to get a life. I can think of TONS of things to do with this money to create jobs…REAL JOBS that start with helping the people of America and not with furnishing homeland security , expanded food stamps…(I see people on food stamps using their debit cards for Red Lobster and Macaroni Grill and feeding a family of 10 instead of taking that money and buying food to feed that family for a week instead of one night! 90 percent of this is CRAP
It no longer matters what you and I think. President Hussein and the democrats now have total power to pass everything they could not get through before.
For the next 4 years, they are the kings and nobles, and we are the peasants, subject to their whims.
Well that was depressing…. Is it too early in the morning to start shooting tequila? Is there an earmark for that?
It’s a start.
But I heard it wont pass as republicans refuse to pass it.
People we haven’t even hit bottom yet.
It’s like Alice in Wonderland…keep falling and falling and falling…some day we will hit bottom and when we do…man is it gonna be dark down there.
This stuff is just peanuts…but Obama is doing what he promised and in a week or two has done more for America than Bush did in two years!
Life moving too fast for some of you?
At least look at the bright side…it’s INCENTIVE, it gets lazy asses off their duffs and DOING SOMETHING other than sitting in Y/A and whining….or at least that should be the AIM.
I tried to warn everyone. I said there would be an orgy of spending if the idiots gave total power to the Socialists but got thumbed down and reported too many times to count for saying it.
Sometimes it sucks to be right.
the president is ging to faces alot of challege inside the usa.the answer is. the usa administration and the pentagon is going to gived obama alot of hard time in each desition or ideas the have to do to faces the unitated stated, the pentagon make the 1ft desition. like everything. not only that (president bush) have a daddy the gived him the baby botler) president obama dosen’t have the same pull’s.
I started going through your points one by one. It got tiring. So I will just lump it all in.
The majority of the items have merit. They will create jobs, they will be a betterment for our country. They will get us on the right track to lessen our usage of foreign oil. These things should have been started years ago.
As far as the points for welfare, food stamps, foreclosures etc. they are for the people who need it due to the economic crisis. It doesn’t take a dummy to see that we cannot restart our economy with people who don’t have income or a place to live. Remember, people that don’t own a home don’t pay property taxes and we all know how our taxes are appropriated throughout the city, county and state.
As for the rest of it, it should be taken out and placed in another bill and see what will happen.
This is a spending plan except for the Mass transit, the Roads construction because this is government job.
