850 Billion Dollar Stimulus Package

No question, but at some point you've got to quit digging. Bush is gone. It accomplishes nothing to keep pointing out past problems unless it's to learn from them.

 

Im not pointing out past problems, I guess my point is I dont understand all of the fiscal responsibility now that a democrat is doing it.

 

But there has to be a point where you just bite the bullet and stop. It's like a family keeping their heads above water by using credit cards. At some point, the consequences far outweigh the short term benefit.

 

Lets review...
I haven't come here in a couple of days and posted but I found it quite humorous that people are having discussions about Obama's pork project which aren't very positive.
It looks like less than a month has gone by and there are two people defending the Obama administration while others are questioning policies and ethics.
I say its not me at all actually, I seem to agree with most posters on here besides you.
It doesn't look like you ignored me so I don't know why you would say that?

 

red...this is what drives me nuts. This is the "excuse" that I mentioned in another thread. So what you're basically saying is that if anything goes well it's because of Obama and the Democrats and if something goes awry it's because of Bush and the Republicans.

This is why I stopped voting Democrit. Plenty of excuses and finger pointing but rarely a quality answer.

It's like Al Gore and his ridiculous Global Warming scare tactics. If you wake up one morning with 70 degree weather it's due to global warming. If it snows the next day it's due to global warming. It's pretty hard to ever be wrong with that type of mentality.

Obama and the Democrats have their plan. They've been telling us for the last few years that they have all the answers and only needed Bush out of the way. They now have complete control of the House, Senate, and Oval office. If they can't have an impact (and much more immediate compared to 8+ years) then shame on them. They should be run from office if they can't have a significate, "positive" impact in four years.

NO MORE EXCUSES DEMOCRITS!!! We've seen it before and it's why you were run from office last time.

 

He hasn't shown me any reason to have confidence in him to get the job done.
No, I decided before he was elected that if elected he probably would fail because he doesn't have the experience to do the job.
Sound familiar?

No, I decided that Bill and Hillary Clinton would've been better than Obama because they at least have some sort of track record.
Obama certainly hasn't done anything to give me confidence that he isn't in over his head.
Questionable ethics and comments from himself and his cabinet members have made me also question their motives.

Have you watched the news at all?
Obama has been down playing his stimulus bill, if you want to call it that.
He has also made comments like this is the first installment, etc?
How long and how much money do we have to throw away to decide if this will work or not?
2, 4, 10 years or 50 million, 50 trillion?

Like I've said numerous times, people, government thinks they can spend more money and that will solve the problem.
I think that only creates a bigger problem.

You want to talk about last time?
What are you talking about?
Its nothing personal.
No, the last quarter government was the only part of the economy that grew.
While the private sector down sizes and restructures itself the government still continues to grow first under Bush and now Obama.
Someone has to pay for bigger government and socialist policies, they aren't free.
I'm willing to bet the government will grow enough to offset any growth in the economy over the next 4 to 8 years.

 

See my post above, that is part of my point!:thumb:
