Thank you.

To all you stimulus bashers - Okay, what SHOULD they do?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cut taxes across the board, by at least 10%.

Cut social spending by 30%.

Cut military spending by 5%.

Consolidate redundant services like food stamps, WIC, ADC.

Cut back or eliminate CAFE standards, emissions standards, and safety standards.

Eliminate the EEOC.

Invade Venezuela.

This really was the best election ever.

#5 Maybe let the markets play out as well, stop getting the government into everything, don't let them take over the banks, stop giving free rides to CEO's of business' that aren't working, letting them throw parties and giving themselves bonus's with this money that is supposed to be saving them.....

9 - Ever heard of a CDS?

There is a reason AIG is called "too big to fail", although the description is a bit glib.

If there's a new way,

I'll be the first in line.

But, it better work this time.

LOL! such AMAZING Vapidness! Check it out: 1) Pubs get unprecidented time and power in the federal govt...make an unprecidented mess of things legislating to cater to ummitigated, deregulated greed and unnecessary war...Pubs rightly get voted out just when the country is on verge of a new depression...Obviously, something drastic now has to be done....THIS IS THE SAD/ HILARIOUS PART: Some of the presumably "common folk" Pubs (not in the wealthiest 5% of Americans)who have irretrievably consumed the G.O.P. koolaid, are here and other places, COMPLAINING about a bailout that is very likely saving their jobs, and the jobs of friends and relatives. CLEARLY (for most of us), the reason we are doing this unsavory bailout is to interrupt the "domino effect" within the interconnected infrastructure of business. Without intervention...MASSIVE joblessness. UNEMPLOYMENT for some of those lost souls complaining here! To be sure: These "Fat Cats" people don't want to help bail out are Repulicans to the last man. But like it or not, these greedy screw-ups and the companies they preside over need propping up before the "dominos" of business downsizing/closure hits millions more of us. The Democrats have NEVER looked to champion and support such swine in their history, but it is now a necessary evil. If you have been waiving the flag of the G.O.P. ...Now is a good time to STFU and support what we have to do!

Repubs are supporting what we have to do.

Handing out billions that do nothing except triple the deficit and buy votes is NOT what we have to do.

"Come up with a better plan?" It's not hard when the plan is so clearly stupid. "Do something, anything" is never a good response. When you are heading straight on into a collision, turning into other oncoming traffic is "doing something."

Doing "Something, anything!" like this clusterfart of a "Stimulus" (read wasteful pork) spending package is not an improvement. Do something? Anything? Sure, how about NOT spending, cutting the government waste and cutting taxes, and let the system work instead of interfering. Congress created the mess, and now they are trying to spend their way out and blame somebody (anybody) else.

What about us "Common" folk who DID NOT live beyond our means? We are the ones that bought a house that was truly in our budget and actually paid attention to the T&C's of out mortgage. Got a fixed rate to begin with. We don't go out and borrow from one to pay off another.

We are the ones that are going to end up getting screwed out of all of this. And not just from the current admin, we were screwed for the last eight years as well.

Lazy ass m-fers that want to live off the welfare state (Yes I know there are some that do actually need the help, and they should receive the help) need to be rounded up and sent out to become migrant crop pickers or some other job. If they are capable of working and refuse then they don't get anymore assistance.

Oh and while we are at it...How about cutting off all foriegn aid, you know the money we send to all these ungrateful countries to keep their economies propped up, i.e. Palestine et al. That alone would cut the National Spending a decent amount. Humanitarian aid I have no problem with, as long as the benefits go to the people affected and not the despot govt's that rules them.

#14: Well said.

Why do you think we have to take such drastic action? Because Dubya and his Republican thugs stole the national treasury! Geez, think outside your little box.

Re#16 - Well said.

Obama has already made blanket statements that make no sense. He has lied to the American public about no earmarks in the stimulus bill. The Dems nearly crucified Bush when no WMD's were found yet they praise Obama.

He also said something that I find hard to believe in last night's speech. That China is ahead of us in renewable energies?? How is that possible. Their vehicles do not meet our emission standards. That's why they decided not to import them here yet after they planned on doing so earlier last year.

Their plants do not have any restrictions for pollution controls. The toys they make have lead.

He really is kissing China's ass so they'll invest in the US again.

RE #18 - Tax and spend is really thinking outside of the box. It's the same old Democratic agenda. Spend, spend, spend...give some to the liberals that voted him in and then tax, tax, tax so there's no profits to create jobs for the unemployed out there. This way they can keep using the government's social programs and justify more spending. Yay, thanks for nothing.
