I lack the time to read 147p. when you get to the end sum it up for us

buckman · 02-26-2009, 03:10 PM

We're broke!

justplugit · 02-26-2009, 03:18 PM

There won't be any $$$ left for free govt tissues to wipe the American's noses.

buckman · 02-26-2009, 03:27 PM

It's a good read. Same story. It starts off blaming Bush, spends a bunch of money we don't have, and then promises to fix health care, end unemployment, cure cancer.........well you know how it ends. They win, America loses

One more thing...I thought we might have a rally on Wall St. today, but something happened to change that. Any ideas?

If he can do even some of those, would it still be a failure???

Ask your 4 year old. They are the ones that will pay the piper if it does not. It's a hell of a gamble if you ask me.

RIROCKHOUND · 02-26-2009, 03:41 PM

I didn't say it wasn't a gamble, but it is beyond pessimistic to say that we will fail, and not do any of those things!

fishbones · 02-26-2009, 03:52 PM

If this bill in any way can fix even one of the three things mentioned above, it won't be a success........it will be a miracle.

No, how about changing some policy. Do the things this country needs to keep it profitable for companies to stay here. Give them a reason for developing new products. Incentive for doing well. It always works, always. Reward those who do nothing and soon everyone will do nothing.

I would rather they do nothing then what they are doing. They are f@#$ing every one of us.

Amen! Glad to see we now reward the lazy, they can now collect from their couch, no need to get a job...so much for Reagan....

Already is a rotting turd.Stimulus...no.An entire generation(including your child) paying more than half their earnings back to the government...a very big yes.

3 trillion in debt by 2012 brings us way beyond a rotting turd,it pretty much brings the American way of life to a very bitter end.But then again nothing lasts forever...the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union come to my mind.

Obama and his policies are the nail in the coffin that was once the great experiment known as The United States of America.We might live on in name but the name is all we'll have left.

As Obama once stated:
"And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion."

I for one ain't clinging but I damn well am keeping a firm hold(on my guns anyway!).

Good night my fellow and and soon to be former Americans.

lets see how long the wait lines are at the hospital after health care reforms, lets see how much education $ goes up for my kids to go to college - since I'll be paying for everyone elses too, lets see the result of this budget in my taxes - cap gains, reduction in itemized deductions. Then I can compare if there is anyplace better.

RIROCKHOUND · 02-27-2009, 08:51 AM

Fair enough.

Don't forget reducing the mortgage interest deduction. Yep, that's part of it too.

What have you done for your country lately Bryan?I'll bet nothing other than vote for this sh!thead.

haha... "boy", an old timer's way of trying to be condescending.

While there are a large number of vets that deserve respect, I disagree that all vets are entitled to respect.

Also, if this country is already a rotting turd, don't blame "this sh!thead", you can blame the one you probably voted for both times over the last two elections. If it weren't for Bush, we wouldn't have over 3000 soldiers dead in Iraq.

Ya a knee jerk reaction on my part for sure.It was meant to inflame and that was the intent,I admit that and then some but I've earned that right.

But...

...how you read into my response that "sh!thead" was evenly slightly responsible for any dead soldiers in Iraq is beyond me.

Obama's definitely responsible(as a senator along with Sen.Frank) for the financial mess we're in.

Btw the US casualties are well over 4200.

Please think before you post.

Obama's tenure in the Senate is so short you can't really assign much if any responsibility of the problem to him. Frank does get some but there's plenty of blame to go around. It's a failure of our Government, not of one particular party.

Obama though, does now "own" the problem.

A very sad and very lame statement on your part.

I disagree Spence. We now "own" the problem

basswipe · 02-27-2009, 06:01 PM

JohnnyD you should take a very close look at responses such as Spence's.I certainly don't agree with most of his views but he makes great intelligent,thought out responses(as does Nebe).
