Well, TELL US THEN, you dipsh**!!
Seriously, WTF is with this guy?
Pure genius. /s
Specter, you idiot, you have personally added to the nation’s woes.
There was also a very “reasonable chance” the economy would have corrected itself if it hadn’t been manipulated by corrupt politicians.
No kidinng! There's a Marxist in the Whitehouse! D'oh!
Is he even capable of this????????????????
Hypervelocity barf alert.
We must have an upper age limit for Congress. These grow old and lose what little intelligence they once had.
Thanks for the info Specter, already knew that.
Film at 11?
Seriously, these people need to sit down and STFU.
If we had “spent” 787 billion dollars on tax cuts we would be well on our way to recovery.
We’re on our way to a depression because we just wasted a trillion dollars and everyone know it.
Now that we’ve almost trippled the size of the money supply in 6 months, how long does Senator Dufus think it will be till hyper-inflation sets in. What does he plan to do when inflation is in the teens, and the interest rates to buy a new house is over 20% (as it was in the Carter years)?
Cheers, Arlen. ESAD!
“Our economic problems are enormously serious more serious than is publicly disclosed. And I think we’re on the brink of a depression,”
...hopefully, Wall Street won’t listen to this pock faced goon and tank even more based on his idiotic opinion. They also know that it’s the “bill” that will help propel a depression.
If I were in PA, I’d literally vote for a liberal democrat over this clown. I would. At least then we’d have some truth in labeling.
So you lost your job because you were doing a little too much wheeling and dealing. It is hard to know what to do when you lose your job, especially if you still have teenagers living in the house. Now, the very fact that this crisis is largely of your own making means that it's not beyond your ability to solve. Your problems are rooted in past mistakes, not your capacity for future greatness. It will take time, perhaps many years, but you can rebuild that lost trust and confidence. You can restore opportunity and prosperity.
Steps
1. Announce a Family Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that will immediately jump-start job creation and long-term growth. Since the reason you are in trouble is that a job has been lost, you need to get a job, or better yet, two or three jobs. Only by having jobs in the family can you get yourself back up on your feet. But how are you going to get those jobs when no one is hiring? There is an easy answer.
2. Create jobs by hiring your family members. Just go out and do it. But what, you ask, are you going to hire them to do? And what are you going to use for money? The trick is to kill two birds with one stone, by putting your house into better shape at the same time as you create those jobs.
3. Pay your children to fix up your house. Hopefully you have a few children. The more the merrier. Pay one of them to paint the house green. Pay one to put new sod down on your tired lawn. Pay another one to renovate the kitchen. Won't it be grand to have that nice granite countertop you have always dreamed of? Now is the time! Since the entire family is in a terrible crisis, everyone will go along with your plan, and support it, no questions asked. Just tell them that because you are creating so many great new jobs, there will be gobs of money later. Possibly not this year, but by next year, things are really going to turn around and you will be in the pink. Certain luxuries were out of your reach before, but why shouldn't you get a few goodies out of this family crisis? Put a little weatherstripping in the mudroom and get a high def TV while you are at it.
4. Go to the bank and borrow a few hundred thousand dollars. You are going to be using this money to pay salaries to your children. Yes, it is really that simple. When you are in a terrible financial crisis, the answer is to borrow a huge amount of money. Now is not the time to worry about going into debt. Borrow three hundred thousand dollars. See how easy that is? Now you can pay them one hundred thousand dollars each. Your whole family will instantly go from being down and out, to living on easy street. It is time to set a new course for this family, and that change must begin now. Don't forget to set aside a very small portion of the money to buy a few condoms for your children. Especially if your wife Nancy thinks it's a good idea.

And there you have it folks. Our government voluntarily admitting they keep the public in the dark. If you think they are going to let you know in advance of a coming disaster so you can prepare, just remember this little admittance.
Note to Pennsylvania:
Please, Please, PLEASE, DO NOT let Specter win the 2010 GOP primary! Elect a solid conservative, like Pat Toomey.
Note to GOP Leadership:
Turn your backs on Specter and offer him NO support, whatsoever!!!!
Specter (along with Snowe and Collins) are traitors and don’t belong in our party!!!
"Thars a reasonable chance...say 30%, that the stimuli bill will keep us from going 100% depression."
He is trying to justify his Porkulus support.
