Isn't the promise of a stimulus package the kind of crap he spewed that got him elected in the first place?

I mean - 51% of America wanted what he was offering, I thought?

I was against the first one - and used it differently than how the guberment suggested. This one I am all for. America voted for more social programs, more wasteful spending, more crap that does not need to happen.

So I say go ahead, send me a check! That is what we wanted isn't it? For him to hold our hands? This check is just the beginning of sunshine and lollipops! Send me that check! I got some guns and ammo to buy!

You're right. The first stimulus did so much good we could use another one.

How would you prefer our tax money be used? I'm not attacking. Just curious what you feel would be a better use for the money.

Yeah my answer would be too long, in general I would cut the hell out of gov. funded programs that are worthless and help the industries to stabilize. That bailout package was too far left for me.....They didn't put enough provisions in it....Now the money is paying off bills...they are not loaning that money....

Truthfully, I would likely let the markets correct themselves, but I know that would devastate a lot of people. Although, the people it would devastate are SOME of the individuals that got us into this.....

Borrowing BILLIONS from China to give out to tax payers so they can buy more cheap junk from China is simply stupid and fiscally irresponsible.

What is the advise of financial advisers for the last one. Pay down/off debts.

Mine is still in the bank, cause I was already debt free.

Oh it's not "our" tax dollars that just happen to be sitting around somewhere in Washington, they have to borrow the money from China or another country willing to lend it to the US.

Certainly a large majority of those who voted for Barak Obama did so because they were looking for a government teet to suck on!


the only stimulus package I want is one that cuts corporate income tax to zero and eliminates capital g ains taxes for 2 years!

Wait, isn't it supposed to be called an "inflation enhancement package"?

Glad I'm in debt.
