Dem Senator: Second Stimulus ‘Probably Needed’
ABC ^ | 7/6/09 | Ricky Klein

Posted on 07/06/2009 4:24:56 PM PDT by pissant

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports:

As job losses mount, Democrats are growing impatient about the impact of the massive stimulus package passed earlier this year, with talk beginning on Capitol Hill about a possible second stimulus bill.

Today on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said a second stimulus is “probably needed,” and predicted that Congress is likely to act before the end of the year to inject even more federal dollars into the economy.

Said Whitehouse: “I think that it is probably needed. We’re going to need to have some further discussion. It will probably take place towards the end of the year and we want to take a look at the economic conditions at the time. But it certainly should be on the table at this point.”

Fine, Mr. Whitehouse, YOU and all your idiot-senator-buddies pay for it YOURSELF.

Welcome to Planet Stupid.

This is the beauty of being in politics. When you do something wrong you get to keep doing it over and over again because somebody else is paying for it.

Why not? The Dems now have the 60 votes, plus Collins and Snow, so it will pass the Senate should the bill make it there.

They’ll sell this one by admitting the other one is too slow to spend the money. So, we need another one to spend money NOW (oh, and no tax refunds..)...

Oh what the hell, lets just have 3 or 4 more—the first one worked so well.
Wake up America—we’re heading towards third world country status.
Obama is the most dangerous thing that’s ever happened in this country!!!

Too bad stupid doesn’t hurt. I guess God was smart for making stupid pain-free because if he didn’t people in general would be in agony.

OMG! They haven’t spent 10% of the first one, and already they are contemplating the second one? We can’t afford either one of them. They are anti-Constitutional, far outside of what should be the limits of governmental intervention in ANYTHING!

These insane LibTards MUST be stopped. It’s time to take back the country.
