I don't get it.... why are liberals so blind? You telling me, that if the group of people you strongly disagree with, came up to you and ask you to support something they made ALL by themselves and is something you are clearly oppose to (like pork spending/wasteful spending) and you should go along with it... because if you don't you are an obstructionists? Okay... I suppose anyone who disagrees with you will have a NEGATIVE connotation with them... deniers, fearmongers, etc. etc.... how very bipartisan of you...
The whole point of this stimulus is to create jobs correct? then why are things like this in it:
So save the BS that this is hatred for Obama and more so the GOP seeing some serious BS in this pork filled bill they want you to buy into
I haven't seen this posted much, but the congressional budget office report comes to this conclusion:
Quote:
According to CBO’s estimates, with enactment of H.R. 1, the number of jobs would be between 0.8 million and 2.1 million higher at the end of this year, 1.2 million to 3.6 million higher at the end of next year, and 0.7 million to 2.1 million higher at the end of 2011 than under current law.
What I'm curious about, is the wages of these jobs.
Are they minimum wage?
Are they $50k/year?
And if they were $50k/yearly, couldn't we switch them to minimum wage and create twice the jobs?! Genius!
/end sarcasm
I am curious about the wages (no, I don't want a new job), and if I stay motivated I'll see if specifics can be found anywhere. I haven't read the stimulus plan, only parts of the analysis.
As was referenced in this thread, this is what is going to create jobs? Really?
So save the BS that this is hatred for Obama and more so the GOP seeing some serious BS in this pork filled bill they want you to buy into
Do us a favor drop the talking points point out the pork and lets discuss it! Read said doc. and point out pork! Again drop talking points! Give us section line you know! Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress):
Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. Probably older than you.
Explain how this is in anyway the pot calling the kettle black, it really makes no sense.
And you probably are older than me, the point is you should start acting like it. I don't know why people have to get so upset over their political party looking foolish, just grow up and learn from your mistakes.
I think you have that backwards, OP. You see, obama is the one who want to be inclusive, put partisanship aside and work together.
What they preach does not fit with their actions - the dems and obama put together the biggest pork-barrel bill (nothing to do with stimulus) full of goodies for dem/lib groups, just another trillion added to the debt, with really no input from the GOP - and he expects the republicans to even consider such a bill?
Outrageous.
Actually, there is a window of opportunity for the US to spend massive amounts of money on much needed things. Education, infrastructure, healthcare, alternative energy projects etc The dumb *** right (lumbaugh 'the buffoon' being their chief cheerleader) are banging on about pork when this is actually a much needed injection. Republicans were hardly saying anything under the enormous and damaging spending on wars, tax cuts etc under Bush.
Unfortunately, the biggest mistake Obama made was in trusting that the republicans would be on board if he included some tax cuts that were more along conservative ideological lines. Next time, he won't (and shouldn't) be so kind.
Why did not 1 republican vote for this bill when most independent economists agree that is an absolutely necessary evil? Politics plain and simple... but hey.. country first!
Most of the *******s here are liars. Not one of you would go out in freezing weather to build bridges or roads. Most sit here with thousands of post's, your either very rich or on welfare. I'm guessing the later.
I am sure most of you don't even know what is in the stimulus package and probably don't even care. You are so in love with your party that you can't see right from wrong and just spend all your time and energy bashing the other party. Pull your head out of the donkey or elephants ass (which everone fits) and get back to reality.
And as far as the stimulus package, it is a waste of our money. Have a good day, time to get to work.

Well, instead of just running off to work in the middle of a hissy fit, the least you could do is call the president's council of economic advisors and let them know all about this development before its too late.
