Isn't there like another 20 billion for food stamps?

So, not joining in the tax boycott after all, eh....
I didn't say that I don't boycott certain taxes, I just said I don't break the law.

After all, as you well know with your apologetic tone concerning Geitner, it's all a matter of semantics.

Your heroes in our government are the EXACT ones who created this situation. It isn't a Republican or Democrat thing, it is a GOVERNMENT thing, and from what I have seen from you, you don't seem to realize this.

This Stimulus Bill does NOT help the situation.

A 40-Year Wish List - WSJ.com



Just remember who wrote it if it blows up on ourselves.
Can it be any worse than the billions that have funded office makeovers and private jets? Oh, my.

Yes...BOTH are wrong...

It is astounding to think this is most likely going to pass...

HOW in the world is THIS crap going to turn around our nation from the edge???

We deserve to collapse if people support this bailout.

They're both wrong, of course.

I would almost find the outrage about the stimulus package humorous if the situation weren't so dangerous. If we're just printing up money, though, as we did with the bailout package, we might as well print up more and pass it on to people other than investment bankers. Game over.....

Why is it no one objects to spending billions for
Unmanned Little Bird (ULB),


super attach helicopter, cobra attack helicopters, Arapaho helicopters, chinook helicopters,the avenger air defense system,

and so on.... yet people object if we give 50M to the arts... I would rather invest in beauty than war. enough with the guns, make some butter.
