Sh*t... Very little of this is going to stimulate the economy. As a taxpayer, I could not possibly be more P*SSED OFF.

This isn't change.... It's business as usual....

Politicians are politicians, no matter what party they belong to. And if we thought that was really going to change, shame on us for being naive. The only way to change things is to clean house in Washington and CHANGE the people in Congress. Only we the voters can do that.....

Government action is what created the climate and circumstance for the NEW JOB that I'm starting tomorrow.

The financial bailout/stimulus backed Chase Bank's buyout of the failing Washington Mutual.
The resulting changeover has created the Project Manager position I just was hired for last week.
I am now part of a small team to be overseeing the changing identity of over 150 branches in SoCal.
It is a job that would not exist if the WaMu bank failure would have been allowed to occur in a "free market" spirit.
This is a situation where jobs have been created, rather than simply erased, by the government's action.

I know a lot of you here bellyache about what you perceive to be some sort of economic injustice in all of this,
that financial hardship and unemployment is mainly a result of those person's stupidity and laziness...

but take it from this BN'er who lost a good job last year due to economic conditions, and is now going back to solid work,
it is heartening to see economic results already arising from recent government action.

Believe me...You don't want to have to walk in those shoes

..I'll check in again later. I'm gonna be pretty damn busy for the foreseeable future

AMEN! I've been a proponent of term limits for years. Unfortunately the people who have to create that situation are the lawmakers....

[Crazy Navy Flyer]

Congrats on the job LB, happy for you. I've been in the outofajob shoes also. I certainly don't believe being out of work is due to laziness and stupidity, for most.

But I will continue to bellyache about the wasteful spending coming out of DC. Not everyone will benefit like you did, too much crap in the stickittous bill.

I hope you can find the time to send a nice thank you note to former President Bush.

Yeah I know it's not a liberal publication but the message is still the same.

Federal obligations exceed world GDP.

BO's people have announced that he is going to reduce our dependence on foreign oil by flying to Denver to sign the stimulus bill in a private ceremony. Air Force 1, three transport aircraft carrying limousines and other vehicles, the motorcade to the site and the thousands of idling cars as the parade route is blocked off.

And I'll bet there ain't a single hybrid in the motorcade.

HOW DARE YOU!!!

NEVER, NEVER allow the facts get in the way of a great opinion

From Steven Colbert

[Tequila Revenge]

Colorado expects to receive $1.97 Billion of the $797 Billion in the package. (1/4 of one percent.)

Democrats - including the representative from our district - claim that this will create 60,000 new jobs in Colorado. ($1,970,000,000 / 60,000 = $32,833.33) The per capita income in Colorado is about $40,000.

The new jobs will pay below average. "How much below?" depends on how much of that $1.97 billion is spent on materials for the projects. Every dollar that is spent on materials is a dollar less for labor. Most of these projects are built from concrete and steel, expensive materials.

People see a promise of $1.97 billion in new spending and start grinning from ear-to-ear. If they are smart enough to do the math, they will see that it is not all that it is cracked up to be.

Whether I support it or not, this ill-conceived plan has become the law of the land and I will be paying for it for the rest of my life.

EVEN WORSE!!!

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE FACTS RUIN A GREAT OPINION


Come on E.... Little O's put the same ol' sh!t on a stick, deep freid it and called it change

Congratulations, and I guess you can thank G.W. Bush for one thing.

Obama claimed that the trillion dollar deficit Bush had built up over 8 years was excessive. Then he tripled it in the first 30 days. Hmmmmm...

That's, "Change we can believe in....."

BTW, how come little O never mentions the association between the deficit and the war in Iraq? He's smarter than that, right?

Wonder how much $$$$$$$$ is going to illegals vs. citizens???????????

When I was in law school the paper I wrote to satisfy the writing requirement for graduation was on term limits, I'm in favor of them. I never thought I was a very good writer and while I was writing that paper I kept thinking "could I be putting any more $h!t on paper without sitting on the can?" The class I wrote it for was one of only 3 A's I got in my 3 years of law school.

If someone can tell me how to embed a youtube video in here, I'd like to show you a HUGE part of the problem.

Thanks for the help - and people wonder why we're in the spot we're in. A good first step would be to not re-elect this Senator (I'll refrain from name calling).

[LIPH]

Charles Schumer is nothing but a publicity hound. Stick a microphone or a camera in front of him and you'll see where Andy Samberg and his buddies got the idea for that song "Jizz In My Pants."

[Elrod]

A good first step would be to not re-elect this Senator (I'll refrain from name calling).

Actually naming names is not the same thing as name calling.

Voting Chuck Schumer out of office is a good step, but I can't vote in the senate election because I don't live in New York.

So I'll just have to trust the people of New York to do the right thing.
