Since the first one was such a failure for the American taxpayers.

It gets more entertaining every day checking out the news and reading what new Obama failure we have waiting for us today. It's also fun to watch the deflecting and defending by his flock.

When speaking of "First Stimulus Package Failure", are you referring to the one from George Bush or President Obama?
As I recall, the 2008 package from Bush was the first complete failure.

By all means. Let's dump another mega billion or so down the toilet. Why the hell not? If people were dumb enough to tout the first one, and apparently they were, why would they oppose another?

And it will create jobs. They will need to add an extra shift at the Burea of Engraving and Printing to create this unending supply of currency.

Dare they? Can they get away with that? The public will be outraged. They've already spent a trillion+ on a stimulus bill that has failed miserably. Do they really think the public will go for another deficit spending bill from the dems?

What great fodder for 2010 that would be. An acknowledgment that the first stimulus has failed, which they OWN lock, stock and barrel.

Of course they won't put it in those terms. They will try to hide it and couch it in different terms, hoping the public won't notice.
