How Stimulus Affects You
CNNMoney ^ | 1/21/09 | Editors

Where the $825 billion will -- and won't -- show up in your life. With our first glimpse into how the government wants to use $825 billion to juice the economy, it's clear that some of the money will quickly and directly affect most Americans lives, while other spending is intended to produce either longer-term, less tangible benefits or is targeted at narrow segments of the population -- like the unemployed.

Although the sum is huge, the money isn't intended to turn the economy around, but to keep it from falling even further into decay.

It means that our corrupt government and their corrupt supporters will all be dining on Kobe beef steaks while the rest of us are expected to be grateful for receiving a half of a hot dog.

The hot dog piece was pulled out of the garbage . . . . . . .

It was also moldy . . . . . . . . .

And had rat poop on it.

I am indeed so relieved my husband actually found another job after a mere one month of full-time searching. He knows, and I know, as we all know, that NO ONE is hiring.

Luckily I was able to increase my P/T hours from 20 to 40 (and now I’ll go back down to 32 so my kids can get more attention from me again).

We are both grateful and indeed feeling blessed; but he is just ticked that he is now making what he made 7 yrs ago. . .

Oh heck.. I thought this was a birds/bees post...

Well, if you are a masochist, this stuff could really turn you on. Hit me again! Hit me harder! Make me scream, make me suffer. Ooh, the joyous pain! Do it all again.

Oh, excuse me. I, uh, ... Just so... intense!

That’s just the assault on my wallet - pure sadism by the left.

I thought Obama said we were all going to have to sacrifice and pitch in.
I see lots of handouts, but the sacrifices appear limited to those making over $75k per year.

Guess some pigs are more equal than others.

Nothing but an $825 billion SPENDING progra,.
And there is absolutely nothing in there that benefits us, we will be paying for it all.
