Its getting old already

Obama was using the fear tactic of 'Emergency, Emergency, Doomsday"'in his appearances yesterday, trying to get the bill HE wants passed in 10 days.

Now he is forming an economic advisory board with members from different industries, economists, etc.
Good idea, but shouldn't that have been done for input before the stimulus bill was written.

Got the tail wagging the dog.

Now we are sitting with a bill 10 telephone books thick.

Transparency could be made simple:

Name of program-- How many jobs it creates in what industries-- Cost $$$

Ya know a stimulus plan for dummies like me.

He's had a large team of economists all through the campaign.

My point is he should of had this new board of industry, labor, financial etc. have input into the bill when it was written,

not just the same old same old politicians in Washington out of touch with the working man, writing it.

They why is he so surprised at how rapidly the economy is falling apart? Why didn't he see this 3 months ago when he was pushing the Democrats last bailout? Maybe the team isn't that good

This isn't a stimulas bill. It's a freakin spend fest . They are having a social program orgy on the backs of our children and using scare tactics to pass it.

Had he seen how bad it would be three months ago he probably would have lost the election because of his negative attitude!

I think there's a good amount of spending in the bill that's not necessary. That being said, according to the GOP anything that's not a tax cut is considered socialism.

So hundreds of Billions to banks with zero accountability is ok but if we give money to the working class and poor it's considered waste?

I think a month ago you agreed that we did need to stir both sides of the pot.

It looks like the Senate might have agreed to a compramise bill that's 42% tax cuts. If so that's a good thing, this needs to be a bi-partisan solution...that definately works in Obama's favor.
