So a few weeks ago when Obama asked for 500 bil he had no idea that a few weeks later the economy would still be bad? We are so screwed!

Why would they worry about the size of the package?

It’s not their money.

They will be wealthy beyond your imagination since they are “elected officials” and that means they will be stealing millions apiece from the public whether the package is $1 or a trillion dollars.

To the amount you will pay is not a consideration.

The only consideration is how many votes the package will buy.

The Kool Aid is wearing off…this is funny- the Leftist who voted him into office, and defended Obama, and attacked Clinton, now are not so happy with their choice:) I don’t know what their problem is, they got Hillary and Bill anyway. Nobody is this naive or delusional, these people really thought they had some power, they got played. Chant, Obama, Obama, Obama “Hey Player” Holla Back.

Well I’m glad they’ll always need science teachers. And ranchers to feed all of you.
$hit is coming to hit the fan allright.
All I can say is…..WOW.
I can’t believe Obama wants to use the proven failed efforts of the past as a solution for the future. Utterly…..amazingly…..stupid.
I stand bewildered.

Wow, the GOP doesnt have a good track record on the national debt. Maybe THAT should be an issue for us come next election?

The problem with this graph is that it doesn’t take into account the fact that it is the CONGRESS who spends money, not the president. DUH!!! Let’s see the same graph applied to which party controls the Congress. Should be simple to do. When you publish a graph like this, it’s obvious you have an agenda. Time to clean house and get rid of BOTH parties and their hacks.

Maybe The One has some great economic sense from his “dad”. Kenya was 184th in per capita GNP.

You mean his Kenyan Commie dad, who died a broke, unemployed, legless drunk? I think Jr. has already been displaying the economic “genius” he inherited from dear old dad.

Why does Washington think that taking your money, counting it, then giving it back to you is more efficient than just letting you keep it in the first place?

And these guys are supposed to be smart? What the…?

TinMan13 on December 17, 2008 at 11:40 PM

Well said!… This idiotic “Stimuslut package” is NOT about jump starting the economy. It’s about jump starting marxism. As other posters have said, the best course is a large tax cut or tax holiday… The market woudld invest the money as it sees fit. Government spending AKA a 30′s work program this time around won’t even leave us with the cool art deco bridges and buildings.

Maybe the Rezko thing will catch up with Komrade Jugears before he does too much damage.

I’m waiting for people to wake up and say “Hey. Gold is just a soft and shiny metal. Why is it so expensive again?”.

Guardian on December 17, 2008 at 10:51 PM

You forget the golden rule: “He who has the gold, makes the rules.” Which is why brass and lead are such precious metals.

the O will push us finally over the edge in unemployment, depression, etc. but the policies set in place by all the regulatory agencies will lead to inflation (isn’t this right?) which will reflect on the next president who, God willing, will not be obama.

What does it matter anymore. We stopped dealing with money we can conceivably pay back a long time ago. The difference between 10 trillion in debt and 15 trillion in debt is nothing, we are never paying it back.

I agree. Push the reset button, forgive all debt, adopt the Earth-O as the monetary system(all electronic of course), and start over.
I read a comment here once, not long ago, that keeps ringing true to me, it was “We are regressing. Civilization was always a myth.” – Verdad.

I have got it.

Kennedys are good at government. Could be family secrets or genes.

Well, it is less scary than the Democrats record with our economy!

Maybe the most eye opening thing I’ve watched in 5 years was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_TjBNjc9Bo“, this is a movie called IOUSA, its about 30 minutes, about our debt.

The real deficits are closer to 100 trillion, when in 40 years our unfunded SS and Medicare costs really kick in.

To put it another way, in 40 years, we will be able to pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the interest on that debt. That’s it.

We don’t have money for a military, or any other government service.
You’d have to double everyone’s tax rate to prevent this from happening, and what politician will do that? What politician can cut govt. to the bone, on the spending side?
Sigh.

It would be a boon to everyone.

ThomasB.

You are right, of course, but it doesn’t fit with the big-eared freak’s philosophy of “spreading the wealth”. This can only be done by first taking from others, or…we can just walk out back to the money tree and pluck a few hundred billion.

I asked an Investment firm. What would be the best currency to get. He told me that Euro’s is a no no. He told me to buy UK. But a few days ago, I read that UK is thinking of Euro’s. He said that gold isn’t worth buying right now. Because it will go down. And my money print machine broke down!! :)
