The words “economic stimulus” have a certain appeal to them because, after all, who wouldn’t want the U.S. economy to be stimulated?
But, as the country is nearing his inauguration on Jan. 20 and the inevitability of President Barack Obama’s stimulus project looms, many in the news media have neglected to determine the who, what, when, where, why and how much aspects of the stimulus.
Even before Obama is able to sign a economic stimulus package into law, as most are expecting, the Congressional Budget Office is reportedly expecting a $1 trillion deficit, more than double what it had forecasted in September, according to an article in the Jan. 7 Wall Street Journal.

As Limbaugh pointed out, tax cut - “How are we going to pay for it?”
Yopper... Nothing to see here... move along.....
He also pointed out that those 3 million jobs will cost $333,333 each!
Where can I apply for one of those jobs...lol
The U.S. economy is NOT stimulated by stealing money from the people who create jobs. When the government steals money from corporations and “the rich”, they are destroying the incentive and the means for job creation.
Public works projects and government hand outs may feed the poorest among us, but they do NOT “stimulate” the economy.
I want pie - where do I apply?
It’s a tax cut for people who don’t pay taxes.
More redistribution, in other words.
People don’t care, they just want their fiat money to spend on more crap and six months later will be broke again.
The Magic Negro will clap his hands and Manna from heaven will rain o'er His chillen.
I don’t want manna. I want fried chicken.
if the republicans do not oppose this spending bill, they’re finish. The media is trying to sale obama’s plan to the republicans politicans, by saying it includes tax cuts and republicns love that. If you take with one hand and spend even more with another, then thats not a tax cut. This is a huge spending bill
Of course there are few questions from the media—lots of them will need those government jobs—they want to be in line with their hands out first.
“Obama will have the same problem as Bush. Government bailouts are but a stopgap. All government dollar bailouts do is to export this money to the rest of the world. There will be no long-range recovery until we again become a producer nation. Deficit trade deals put us into this mess and perpetuating a consumer nation will keep us there.”
Bingo!!!
Those who think they have all the answers, prove they don't even have the right questions!
A free pony for me!
With the pasifist Pennetta in, the Islamists must be feeling great by now. They will be able to hit us again both physically, mentally and eventually financially by devaluing our currency under the print mo munny now plan.
