Exactly.
Why is this a good thing? It's just adding to our national debt. Then again, at this point what the Fook does it matter. Let's add another 100 billion just of the heck of it.
I skimmed the article and didn't see anything about job creation, just lots of "freebies" handed out. How would this stimulate the economy? Looks like more socialism to me.
Either they are going to go crazy printing money or our kids will never get under from this.
Instead of unemployment benefits, why can't we at least invest this in fixing our crumbling infrastructure and create jobs in the process? We can also have the unemployed farming and other such things. I would be glad to work at some menial job if I did not have my desk job.
Same thing for all these mortgage baileouts they are talking about. Help them but make them work for it. There is NOTHING wrong with having to work two jobs to get out of debt - let one of them be fixing up old homes for the rest of the poor.

Goverment must be preparing for the worst?
Higher Unemployment, More people on food stamps!
Last time, I got my $1200 "stimulus" payment on a Friday. The following Tuesday, I got a notice from IRS that my accountant had made an error in preparing my return.
With penalty, we owed $1198!
So my wife's and my "stimulus" came to two bucks! We scraped up another dollar and half in change and went and had an ice cream cone at McDonald's.
Either canidate will add an additional 200 plus billion to the budget deficite so what the heck is just another few billion, and taxes are not going to be raised either huh, uncle sam will you read me another bed time story.
