(Apparently, the vote may be today. Please call your reps to denounce it. This is the bill to give the Feds access to our accounts. Per Beck, it is to be signed ON JULY 4th, 2010.) Text: "To most liberals and many economists, the first $787 billion economic stimulus bill (H.R.1) didn't do enough to promote job growth and general recovery given the depth of the recession caused by the 2008 financial crisis. The national unemployment rate, for example, is still at 9.5%, and in areas that were hit especially hard by the recession, the unemployment rate is still going up.

So, the Democrats have prepared a second, smaller stimulus bill of about $127 billion in new short-term spending called the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, and they are planning to hold a vote on it in the House on today. Late on Wednesday night, the bill was revised. Here's what's in the final bill.)

Another $200 billion in re-elect dumbo-crats funds down the toilet.

call your congressman and ask him to stop spending..

Think about this for a moment: The title of this crap sandwich is designed to create jobs and raise taxes.

Gee, what a great idea!

More govvie jobs and more taxes to pay for them.

I swear, if these people fell out of a boat, they couldn’t find water.

The fire is burning out of control.

Quick, douse it with gasoline!

Sorry, but nobody can be this stupid.

Someone is paying the Democrat Party to murder America in her sleep, and Barry is the head contract assassin.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

You could not be more correct - ALL conservative talk radio hosts need to understand this and stop giving Barry a pass, or saying he is just a bumbling ignoramus. I am sure it is every bit as insidious as your say - has anyone come up with an explanation of where the $500 BILLION in mutual funds went to on Sept 18, 2008 and sunk McLame's campaign? Find the answer to who pulled those strings and you have the man behind Barry the Muslim.

actually should it be called Stimulus 3? Remember the “Jobs Bill”?

If you included Bush’s worthless stimulus back in 2008 and TARP, it’d actually be the 5th.

Someone here on FR was discussing this at one point and took the information back to a Chicago for the run on the Fed on 9/18/2008.

RE (from link highlights):” The single largest item in the bill is the single most stimulative form of government spending — the bill would extend unemployment insurance benefits until the end of November 2010, at a cost of about $40 billion.
“ The next largest item in the bill isn’t as directly stimulus related. It would extend a scheduled 21.2% cut in Medicare reimbursement to doctors until January 2012.”.
“The third largest item is infrastructure spending to spur job creation, which totals more than $25 billion in the bill”.
“ Other stimulative provisions include small business tax credits, a new summer jobs program, tax cuts designed to help the middle class, expanded disaster relief programs, tax incentives to spur clean energy development, and much more. “ .
“It would also close a corporate tax loophole that allows American companies to operate offshore without paying taxes to either the U.S. or the foreign country, and it would prevent some high-earning service professional from avoiding Social Security taxes by calling themselves an S corporation. ’

Loopholes????

How about a nice and simple tax code that evened the playing field for everyone and there would be no need for such legislation?

[a real Sheila]

Wasn’t stimulus II the “jobs bill?”
So this is really Stimulus III, isn’t it?

Didn’t the jobs bill pass? I’ve lost count of all the “turds they’ve passed.”
I assume it passed since they have the majority and can do whatever they want.

Glad I helped.

A moderator on his toes corrected my mis-spelling of the name ‘Megyn’ (in Kelly) in the title of one of my posts yesterday. It was one of those things I thought of only after I posted it. I really appreciate it.
