Dem Senator: Second Stimulus ‘Probably Needed’
ABC ^ | 7/6/09 | Ricky Klein

Posted on 07/06/2009 4:24:56 PM PDT by pissant

ABC News’ Rick Klein reports:

As job losses mount, Democrats are growing impatient about the impact of the massive stimulus package passed earlier this year, with talk beginning on Capitol Hill about a possible second stimulus bill.

Today on ABCNews.com’s “Top Line,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said a second stimulus is “probably needed,” and predicted that Congress is likely to act before the end of the year to inject even more federal dollars into the economy.

Said Whitehouse: “I think that it is probably needed. We’re going to need to have some further discussion. It will probably take place towards the end of the year and we want to take a look at the economic conditions at the time. But it certainly should be on the table at this point.”

If anyone can tell me with a straight face.. or straight type, that we are not headed smack dab into a civil war, then I’d like to hear.. or read it. I personally would welcome someone’s opinion that could make me think that war is not a certainty.

I don't agree with you on that. I am not at all sure that there remains a "critical mass" of hard core, patriotic, informed people ready and willing to risk their "lives and sacred honor" to save the majority of mouth breathing cretins that are staring dimly at the latest (MJ?) diversion fronted by the main stream media. The barbarians are at the gate and for the most part we are happy to be entertained with bread and circuses.

If there is to be a revolution it will of necessity start with the military. Just say'n ya know?

Regards,
GtG

Sorry, but....

face it, the country is in the express lane to a Marxist dictatorship and as long as there is Michael Jackson, Britney and American Idol to occupy their time, the American people just don’t care.

Obama has only authorized for the 5% of the simulated-stimulous package that Congress passed that he signed

95% is sitting unspent right now

But millions have already been spent on already erected new signs proclaiming “Obama done give all you pee-ons all this new stuff here that may or may not ever get built!”

-

A 2nd Sillyness Package?

9.5 unemployment and no peak in sight?

Round up the squad and line up the greedy Limo-Politicians now!

[95% is sitting unspent right now]

I ‘knew’ they hadn’t spent much of it but since I don’t recall details I hesitate to say. I also know they can’t account for where all the other part went.

HOW can any sane person say that they need a second one???

They are all insane in D.C.!

Like the $5,000,000 that John Kerry refused to spend in the last days in 2006 - the money will be diverted or unaccounted for

Dept. of Justice will never look or act with a democrat Attorney General

Last I heard Hussein Junior was still taking campaign donations somehow

The stimulous cash will find a home of politicians and bureaucrats and Hussein Junior’s legal defense law firm partner’s pockets

I imagine Michelle has a lifetime ACORN ATM card with Swiss Bank now

The Clintons were devious with money too, and all the Chinese connections.

Many blast Bush, and we don't like all he did, but I don't recall matters of ‘secret money’ during his Presidency.

I seldom recommend a video, but his is a must see, it’s short and says it all.

Two Trillion Tons - Sung by the Ghost of Tennessee Ernie Ford

The Ghost of Tennessee Ernie Ford comes back to warn us that Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan and budget could be hazardous to our economic well-being. Jim Gossett and Lars Larson wrote the lyrics for “Two Trillion Tons” for the Lars Larson Show on Westwood One Radio Network.
