$416B add on spending bill on the table in Congress, increased pay and benefits and increasing the size of the military, and all the other promises from last night, how is Obama going to pay for this?

Stock Market answers by dropping another 100 points this morning.

" The Dems nearly crucified Bush when no WMD’s were found yet they praise Obama."

How many American soldiers have died because of Obama's "lies"?

You truly have less than zero understanding of the economy. I marvel at your lunacy.

"..that he seeks the solution to anything as another opportunity for a Federal Government program. I happen to believe that the Federal Government has usurped powers of autonomy and authority that belong back at the state and local level. It has imposed on the individual freedoms of the people, and there are more of these things that could be solved by the people themselves, if they were given a chance, or by the levels of government that were closer to them."

Reagan - 1980 Presidential Debate with Carter

Seems as valid now as it was then. He was talking about the spending by Carter. And how Carter would try to implement a government program every chance he could. History repeats itself.

You mean like reviving the B-1 bomber program that cost hundreds of billions of dollars for a bomber we didn't need. Reagan also more than doubled the national debt w/his voodoo economics. Hey...you're right history does repeat itself...Dubya did just that. X

Yes, I have no understanding of "the economy."

(rolls eyes)

Before long, the South is going to have a better industrial and financial sector that the North.

The funny thing is that you're in the crosshairs of the present administration, because you're a cog in the machinery of evil, greedy Wall Street.

Be wary of people with pitchforks, pillows, and driveway sealer.

Started w/ Carter.

Perpetuated and exacerbated by Clinton.

Fueled and manipulated by disingenuous democrats.

And republicans aren't off the hook. They just went to sleep.

Enough to make a preacher cuss....

Do you really believe all the crap that BHO is dishing or are you just afraid of being assigned to a re-education camp?

Man, it's disturbing to hear the liberals support this plan.

I understand that they hated Bush. The election should have been a step in the proper direction.

Instead, all we get is kneejerk packages FORCED down our throat.

Senators want to actually read the bill before voting?? That's blasphemy!

It must be signed NOW.

(And never you mind that Obama then waited four days to actually sign it)

Conservatives question the concept of adding a trillion dollars to our bulging deficit?

How dare they!

The chosen one has clearly stated that the government has to fix all problems. That he won't even LISTEN to opposing viewpoints. That something has to be NOW even if it means doing the WRONG thing now.

I'm a conservative. I vote republican with only a few exceptions (usually at the local level).

But I was PROUD to be American when Obama took his oath of office.

I was EXCITED for a new optimism, new hope and a fresh perspective.

Instead, all we get is doom and gloom. The stock market tanks every time obama opens his mouth. We're given a pork laden spending bill with a feel-good "stimulus" title and the libs eat it up. They think it will actually stimulate the economy even though NOBODY has explained how.

I don't have all the answers, but that doesn't mean that I can't recognize a dangerous precendent when I see it.

Social programs may "be needed" if the economy continues to falter, but show me ONE TIME when a social program was eventually eliminated.

Once people suck of the sweet nectar of uncle sams teets, they'll NEVER go back.

Bush didn't cause the economy to fail. But neither did he prevent it, and for that I lay a fair shame of the blame on his shoulders.

But a bad economy WILL recover, even on it's own without government involvement.

And it WILL recover even with Obama's plan in place.

But after it recovers, we'll now be saddled with the additional deficit and the burden of never ending social programs.

How stimulating is that?

1) Cut top tax rate to 25%

2) Cut Cap Gains tax rate to 15%

3) Repeal Sarbanes-Oaxley

4) Cut spending across the board by 25% (Recall the 1982 Grace Commission: 40% of the Federal budget is waste)
