Stimulus Passes

Per USA Today

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

The reconciled bill will still have to pass with at least 60 votes in the Senate. This ain't over yet.

It also has to be signed by a POTUS eligible, under the Constitution, to hold the office.

I agree that Specter, Snowe and Collins MUST be replaced.

Change the word “people” to Special Interest and Ole Ben is right on.

What can we do you ask...

We can not pay for it, that’s what we can do.

Snowe, Collins and Specter... they only need 2... I think the Maine Senators would happily vote for nationalized medicine and concentration camps for conservatives

-- And Gregg abstained? Now that's courage. --

LOL. I think it's symbolic as the nominee to be Commerce Secretary. He doesn't want to give any appearance of taking a side.

[Rational Thought]

Could I recommend that we all send emails to these Senators demanding they now just switch parties? The CHARADE is over.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

I am so depressed or as my hubby just texted me, “we are so f—k-d!”

[Danae]

Exactly.

We should be setting up to challenge his constitutional authority do do ANYTHING.

Make him PROVE it.

We were warned long before Orwell.....not to put our trust in anything but the Lord! May those who have ears to hear...hear.

Agree!

[Mr. Silverback]

Folks, here's a stat that you can share with your friends that will get across how much money were spending.

The earliest that Jesus could have been born is 7 BC. To keep the math easy, lets start with the entire year of 6 BC. That's (6 X 365) + 1 (got to be a leap day in there somewhere) for a total of 2,190 days.

Then, there have been 2008 years since the beginning of the year 1 AD until the end of 2008. So, making sure we count the 504 leap days (yes, I know that for part of this time they weren't on the calendar) that's (2008 X 365) + 504 = 733,424 days. Adding in the 41 days so far this year we get 733,465.

Divide that into the stimulus total and we find that we are about to spend at least $1.14 million for every day that has passed since the birth of Jesus Christ.

And here's the kicker: If the CBO is to be believed, it will actuallly SHRINK the economy.
