because of course all the mouth breathers at CD know what would have happened with the economy had congress and their president not passed the spending package
You know regarding that issue the silence has been deafening.
No alternate plan other than allowing the "market to self correct." And not a single peep as to what such a self corrected economy would look like. No projections, no best guesses, nothing.
That would be the disabled, the elderly, the infirm. The things Christ asked us to do. The things that the government would not have to do if we all walked the walk that we talk.
Is that not what I give church money to do?
Oh wait a church knows when you are using them don't they?
Would you like to clarify your statement if you believe it was taken out of context?
Drop the naivete. You know what happens when you hand $100,000 to a crack addict. Or an alcoholic. Or the person who thinks "investment" means "lotto ticket".
The government has no moral compass in knowing when to distribute , what to distribute, nor how best to distribute. So its attempts to "redistribute" tend to aggravate the problems rather than alleviate the problems.
Our local churches have clothes closets, food pantries, soup kitchens, and benevolence cash funds (to help pay utilities). Problem is............while many of the poor make good, strategic use of these services........surprise! many of the so-called (by the government) needy often do not want clothes, or food, or their utility bills paid.
They only want cash. Enough to go detour from reality for the rest of the day.

I was wondering about that too, where were the alternatives? Everyone kept saying" Oh Obama's plan will never work" "Obama's plan is awful"
My first thought was "well if his plan is so wrong then what's the right plan?"
Because in order for me to know that 2+2 doesn't equal 6, I must know that it equals 4, right?
So since there are so many people out there who know that the stimulus plan won't work - they must know of a plan that will work. Why aren't they sharing this info with someone who can actually use the information to turn the country around? I mean that is what we're all concerned about right? Getting our country back on track?
Sometimes I confused because it seems like people are more interested in seeing Pres. Obama fail so they can say "HaHa!"
You want to talk about bankrupting grandchildren, ask your buddy George Bush about it...thanks to him, the national debt is now 10.7 trillion.
Obviously if you don't have a problem with $3 trillion added in just a few weeks, you shouldn't have a problem with Bush's leaving a debt.
