smith; go ahead stay fixated on George Bush while i tear Obama and the Democrats to shreds. Its only been a month since Bush left the oval office and he's already a forgotten man, its going to take a monumental effort to keep blaming George Bush for the next two years. American people voted Obama in on his promise of change and nothing of the sort has happened. In fact, it is more government overspending under a different name. Two years from now when the economy is spinning out of control because this stimulus package put us in further debt and contained relatively no stimulus at all, voters are going to hold Obama and his den of thieves responsible. tick tock tick tock, the socialist moment in the sun will be brief.

The Obuma tax break amounts to 13 dollars a week or $1.86 a day. Is that the change Obama wants us to believe in?
Foolish democrats. They've cooked their own goose and don't even know it. Once the details of this pork package comes out, the hardworking Americans of the country will be outraged.
When this pork dries up and the donks come back for trillions more because it didn't "jump start" the economy (obama's words, not mine) taxpayers will be incensed.
tick tock tick tock, the clock is ticking. the economy has less than two years before the midterm elections.

thats what I thought, no one has confidence that Obama can fix the economy, even the people comfortable with giving him a blank check.
well just have to see how things develop. it will probably get worse before it gets better. nov 2010 will be a vote against socialism in America.

tick tock, the clock is now ticking on the Obama economy. Less than two years for the economy to turn around before the mid term elections and less than 3 years before the republican presidential candidates cease the opportunity to show the damage caused by this democratic owned folly.
if you think this increased debt is going to fix the economy you have nothing to worry about.

sushi, i can speak for myself thank you. you can diss george bush all you like, but i'll call you out when you are inaccurate.
i am not supportive of Obama's effort when he is doing the country harm.
i didn't even vote for McCain so there you go again. going off half cocked as usual. I can tell you I am part of the 58 million voters that did not vote for Obama.
maybe the majority of the nation had hope that Obama really would bring change. his first three weeks so far has been politics as usual.
The fleecing of America continues. This isn't change.

Its so funny seeing all the instant expert economists on JT mouth off about the cause of this economic downturn; George Bush.
Pat yourselves on the backs for doing what real economists haven't been able to do, dumbing it down so only morons can understand, or think they understand anyway.
This is a worldwide economic problem. The same problems that exists in the United States, exists all throughout Europe and Asia. Blaming George Bush is just more guttersniping. Not understanding the underlying problems and supporting more debt on a hope and prayer that this will "jump start" the economy is completely moronic.
If debt got us to this place, additional debt to the tune of 1 trillion (probably going to go a lot higher as Democrats keep throwing money at their political supporters) only compounds the problem. This is now Obama's and the Democrats economy. Maybe they inhereted a run away train but why in gods name are they putting more coal in the fire? This train only has so much track to run on. The fleecing of America continues. This isn't change.

i got a question for the central planners.
If this trillion doesn't jump start the economy (obama's words not mine)then what, another trillion or two? and after that another trillion or three?
in vegas its called rolling the dice and those that roll the dice on credit end up in a not so nice place. democrats are at the table and rolling the die using the next generations money, best we can hope for is a little lady luck because this spending package is being used as an excuse to pay back political friends and supporters.
remember when the FY10 budget it crafted and they keep putting us further and further into debt.
The fleecing of America continues. No change here.

i've yet to see any democrat provide a strong argument how the massive debt is going to fix the economy. sheez, every time obama speaks he prefaces every thing with "if we do this right". He doesn't even pretend its going to work. If they need to spend a trillion, fix the infrastructure of the country like he said he would during the campaign not some damn STD program or a hundred other Democratic pet projects and causes. Fix the roads, fix the bridges, fix the power grid, build more nuclear plants for starters. Obama, Pelosi and Reid are three peas in a pod. Some adult supervision is needed in the worst way.

sushi, the fleecing of America continues is as it is written. It pertains to both political parties and until people on both sides of aisle wake up, the fleecing will continue and only make things worse . Somehow I only think that concerns you when the other party is in office. Your position makes me believe you are one of many with your hands out. one trillion gone today, another trillion gone tomorrow and probably a few more trillion after that, whatever it takes right? Bush was a fraud and Obama ain't no better. In fact given enough time, he'll be worse. Will you still be critical of deficit spending then. I highly doubt it.

sushi, i'm just curious. which economist are laying blame squarely on George Bush for this global meltdown. In case you haven't noticed this is a world wide economic downturn. The federal government with George Bush at the helm did not control spending as well as they should, overspending mind you for all sorts of programs both Democrat and Republican sponsored.
I am also wondering why you think more overspending by the Federal Government is okay now when you didn't like it the previous 8 years. That is a pretty sharp about face.
The fleecing of America continues with the Obama administration. Nothings changed.

now the real fun begins. watching pelosi and reid bicker about trying to keep this porkulus pacakge under a trillion dollars. Once this slimy legislation gets signed by Obama, he, Pelosi and Ried own the economy. May they live and die by it. Ried is almost as good as gone next time up to bat. You can count on that.

So the solution yabits is more of the same misguided navagation? I don't agree with you much but you certainly described yourself and others with the same cluttered thinking in your previous post rather well; "It only goes to show you can fool some of the people all of the time." This ain't new direction ding dong, this is more government overspending. This is the fleecing of America.

They slaughtered this human being like a pig in the name of Allah. It boggles the mind how the world cannot unite (yes this includes you left wingers and moderate muslems) to wipe out this scurge. It goes to show that by killing a citizen of Poland, the Taliban does not need an excuse to kill. They simply carry out these senseless acts driven by unadulterated hatred of non muslems. The sooner people realize that terrorist kill indiscriminantly the sooner nations can come together to defeat them. But I'm sure this is all George Bush's fault somehow.

And by increasing the debt another 1 trillion dollars, the Democrats and the mainstream media think this is going to fix the problem. Talk about a credibility deficit.

bull. the Republicans were not only present they submitted ammendments that were rejected by the Democrats along party lines.
don't forget, there are quite a few blue dog democrats that share the same concerns of the republicans and if you really look at it fairly there is more bipartisan support for a better stimulus package.

he's actually more comfortable voting "present" then actually taking a position. we'll see what happens tuesday and then the real time to show leadership, knocking Pelosi up the side the head with a strong message she is not the president. Yes, tuff week for the wet behind the ears president indeed.

oh this George Bush veto garbage again. How many veto's did George Bush issue over the last two years of Democratic control? I think it was 12. And i think only 4 of them were overturned by congress. What vetos prevented the democrats in congress from correcting an ailing economy. Zero. None. Zilch. So what the heck are you squawking about this time?

President Obama versus the usurper Pelosi.
He did it to himself, he told the American people he had a plan but it turns out he didn't so he puts it on Pelosi's lap and now he has to figure out how to assert himself. Weak, very very weak.
