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.

So they want to spend us out of existance in two generations instead of three. You could not make this up.

How many Trillions of $$ are they going to spend to get it right? If they ever get it right, that is. And, of course, this 2nd (really 4th) one will be done in a hurry too ‘cause: ITS AN EMERGENCY!!

Honestly, they should do absolutely nothing.

[cranked]

7-10% of the original stimulus spent and they are already talking another PORKULUS?!!

Your frakin’ FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Why not three stimuluses, perhaps seven, eight or twenty?

How many trillions are the U.S. Citizens going to have to carry on their backs?

The Democrats never saw a citizen's wallet, they didn't think should be their own.



The following is directed to Freepers who haven't signed up for monthlies...

11% is good.  100% is better.  Let's go Freepers.

 

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Here we go again...the swine prepare for their return to the troth. The more they eat, the hungrier they get.

Oh, maybe they re-read it, or misread it again. Or, maybe they did not even read it at all..............(rat bastards)

Floggings will continue until morale improves!!!

[Iron Munro]

Are Goldman-Sachs and Acorn running low on free money already?

[cranked]

What ever happened to Barry's "We are out of money" BS? Heads up, the troth is empty...!

I look forward to seeing Social Security and Medicare go bust

or inflation go to 20% as the fedgov tries to keep them afloat.

All with Democrats controlling everything!

[jakerobins]

I believe they are using the "South Park" method to decide these policy's. C'mon Coup D'Etat!! LOL

So they want to spend us out of existance in two generations instead of three. You could not make this up.

Give them time. They're only six months into Obama's term. By this time next year they'll be spending us out of existence in one generation. Two years down the road, they'll be slapping retroactive taxes on our ancestors all the way back to 1776.

Lord help the rest of the universe if we invent space ships or dimensional travel within Obama's second term. We'll be boldly seeking out new civilizations and strange new worlds to tax.

They money from the first stimulus hasn’t even been spent yet!

[DOGHEAD]

The first stimulus failed to move 5 of the 6 economic indicators that we look at to signal a recovery. so although only 10 per cent of it has been injected into the economy, let’s do another one. We need it. We have to have it! These politicians are criminals!!!

[Steel Wolf]

Criminals, or just aware how stupid the average voter is.

Before long they'll be passing the 'Everybody is Rich Act of 2010', and hand out $100,000 to everyone of voting age. Maybe they'll confiscate the money? Maybe they'll just print it? Maybe both? But at this rate, they won't stop until the process reaches some kind of logical absurdity like this. It can't. They're too desperate to buy votes, and the voters are too eager to be bought.

[CatOwner]

It will likely occur because no one will stop them. The US is so passive now that I don’t think there is much the government could do that would actually result in an uprising of its sheeple.

[himno hero]

If the people and business had confidence in what the Gov’t there would be no need for a third let alone 4th stimulus package. Things would just move on like in the past.
