“House Majority Whip Calls GOP Governors Racist”

STFU already it is getting overused, has nothing to do with anything, and if you would put some decent legislation together you wouldn’t get any backlash.

Clyburn must be one of those racial cowards Eric Holder was talking about. He seems to be afraid to come right out and say black people deserve stimulus money but white people do not.

I've been posting about this for a couple of days.

This is the FY 2009 "Omnibus spending bill." Currently, the government is operating at 2008 budget levels. Last year, Congress was unable to pass even one of the appropriations bills. This spending bill that will be brought out next week will fund the entire federal budget for the period October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009.

Also, does anyone know when the current "continuing resolution" expires? If it expires, the government shuts down. If the expiration is 2-28-2009, expect Pelosi and the Dems to say, "You can't read this, just vote for it. If you don't, you'll be the reason the government shuts down."

Oh, and here's my post of Boehner's press release from earlier:

Boehner: Democrats Should Post Half-Trillion Dollar Omnibus Spending Bill Online Immediately

And the socialist DemoRats continue to BORROW AND STEAL the American citizen into near extiction -— but that is the end game. The idea is to have control over all cash resources that any opposition (includes citizens) could get to oppose them.

As has been said by many, this is the BIGGEST POWER GRAB of America in history. Your liberty, freedoms, wealth and health. All in the hands of Marxists who hate this great country.

Better yet BONER YOU should be out in force with the rest of the GOP spurring the biggest protest march and call out these basturds for what they are - instead of treating them with your uber-congressional-nice-guy-protocol.

This is the big one, the three foot thick bill with all the goodies for every democrat district, and all of the odious little nitpicking provisions hidden in it. We’ll be three trillion in the hole by Christmas.

It is rapidly approaching the time when Americans should exercise the right given them under the provisions of the Constitution to take back the government which has been perverted by the tyrannical forces now in the legislature. A confrontation of this evil is inevitable!

This is beyond ridiculous. I’m so damn mad and disgusted right now.

When the hell are people going to wake up, say enough is enough, and DEMAND that these scum sucking cretins are never allowed to get close to public office again. I keep waiting for this to happen but instead of stopping the insanity these criminals just keep getting more and more outrageous. Is there ever going to be a point when these lunatics are actually fought hard?

No question.

Also, when the Dow drops below 6,000 it would (in my opinion) be an ideal time for folks to consider cashing in their 401K's (those that can access them).

There will be about a 50% hit with taxes and penalty if you do, but we will be reaching a time when the Federal Reserve needs to use those accounts as a liability on their balance sheet.

The only way to do this is to bring 401K's under federal government control just like the Social Security trust fund.

The government can then use those assets to buy Treasury securities through inter-governmental lending.

The Treasury would take the proceeds from the sale of securities and keep it in a supplemental Treasury account with the Fed - to be used as a liability on the Fed's balance sheet.

This will allow the Fed to purchase a huge amount of toxic debt from the big banking institutions.

The toxic debt would count as assets on the balance sheet, bringing the consolidated statement into proper alignment.
