No we have already put this county in debt too much with teh borrowing. Besides the stimulus woud be politcally devided just like the last one and do no good overall.
Yes, we need another stimulus. You don't get out of a recession by cutting spending. You have to stimulate the economy through government spending. It's the only thing that works.
Maybe if they all cut the pork and used it to really bring some jobs back, but they do not do that, so no I disagree on more spending~
A lot of the stimulus has been hoarded. There's a lot of pork in tax cuts, defense spending, local government stimulus, etc. Public school systems and local government agencies used the stimulus to give themselves raises.

No, no more stimulas packages. The last one saw the company I work for lose 500 people.
WalMArt just let 11000 people go this weekend. Is that what the last stimulas did?
Please, they (government) have done enough, its time to move out of the way.
Wal-Mart cuts about 11,200 Sam's Club staffers - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100124/ap_on_bi_ge/us_wal_mart_sam_s_club - broken link)
4 factory's/plants and 5,000 jobs gone in my small home town since the fake Obama stimulus went into effect. Another one just announced they were closing at the end of February taking another 250 jobs with it.
When a person's fervent wish and hope is for the Obama Administration to fail, it is very unlikely that person would acknowledge any facts that indicate success. The 1st stimulus is working and there may be need for another. The problem was huge and still growing, but at a slower pace, another stimulus package would speed up the recovery process.

spending was highest in the district of columbia, at over 5,000 dollars per person. it looks like spending was lowest for florida, at around 650 dollars per person. (texas, virginia, and pennsylvania didn't do that well either).
on a side note, i also see that the government is going to hire over 1.2 million census workers so that should at least temporarily boost the unemployment numbers.
