Great. Are they going to send meaningless checks to those of us that pay no income taxes again?

“the best and brightes rats at the fed”

There aren’t any. They are all political hacks. Nothing more.

Forced?! How come the Fed is never forced to quit spending money it does not have?

Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I just wonder if it is the Fed buying up all of this stock today.

And if they are paying for it by printing more funny money.

The liberals are like the physicians of old, late 1700’s. Their ‘new’ treatment for patients was ‘bleeding’ the patient, for whatever ailment. If the patient worsened, they bled some more. If the patient still worsened, they bled even more. When the patient died, they would say, “We did all we could do.”...................

I have an idea. Why not just print enough money to pay off the debt(s) and be done with it? < /sarcasm >

If they want a "stimulus", they need to cut taxes, regulation and profligate spending. What they want is to buy more votes with the newly extended credit limit. More money to be pissed away on wine, women and song for the union members. More "funemployment" for the unemployable waste products of the public school system. Soon, we will have the streets full of our own government benefits addicted layabouts doing to our own cities what you see happening in London. They will have to "teach us a lesson".

It ain’t “STIMULUS”!!! Isn’t that obvious by now? STOP doing it!

I guess there haven’t been enough union and other radical leftist payoff made yet...

Seriously - what in Sam Hades is going on? Is there absolutely no intelligence at all left?

What is that old definition of insanity? “Doing the same thing expecting different results”.... something like that?

Stimulus #1 did absolutely NOTHING to help, and just dug a deeper hole that we might never dig out way out of.

I do find it interesting that this is coming out so soon after Obama met behind closed doors with the heads of the AFL-CIO.... maybe interesting isn’t the word, maybe its “suspicious”... like something reeks of dead fish.
