Most of the money from the first stimulus can't be accounted for. This is just another excuse for the DC politicians to STEAL more of our money!!

Oh, sure. The country is sinking in debt and malaise, and Obama wants to spend more of our money on something that will make everything worse.

Sounds like a plan............SHEESH!

Oh....

R&D incentives and infrastructure spending. If the law was passed tomorrow, any action wouldn’t get off the drawing board before the elections.

I know this is crazy, but seriously.... Back before they did TARP, Porkulis I, bailouts, and now the upcoming Porkulis II; They would have been better off just mailing every tax payer a $100,000 check. People up to their eyeballs in debt could have used it to pay down their debts and deleverage, allowing them to pay their over priced mortgages. It would have actually been MORE stimulative to the economy, and it WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS EXPENSIVE.....

I don’t think there is time to do anything to significantly improve the economy b4 November.

Short of mailing EVERY American a check for $50,000, I think you are correct!

So, how much money does he propose to funnel through that NASA program to the 57 Islamic nations, anyway? Thanks Sub-Driver.

I’d be up for some cash from Bammy’s stash. Likely I’d just find it on my tab later.

emergency economic stimuli = abolish capital gains tax, abolish corporate and small bsiness tax, reduce the size of federal government.

But we KNOW , that ain’t happening , so ......

and infrastructure spending"

Infrastructure spending....I thought the $800 billions was going to all those "shovel ready" jobs...

What they going to spend it on to boost the economy in 2 months...?

desperation panic moves...like arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

We are spending more on our domestic programs that what the next ten largest countries spend on their military combined in one year.

"Domestic programs", my ass. My wife and I can't even get an SBA loan to resurrect our (once very successful) small business, so that we can provide jobs to others, while delivering services that American taxpayers need and want.

Billions upon billions of dollars to giant corporate pirates and corrupt unions has done nothing to stimulate our economy. Little guys like me who are the backbone of this economy are taxed and regulated to death, then told to suck it, when we need a hand from our government.

The next time Americans are given a choice between a clueless, narcissistic, do-nothing community organizer or a Governor who successfully managed a large government budget, perhaps they’ll make a different decision.

Hope and Change does not a good executive make.

FUBO
