At a speech in Singapore on July 7, Obama adviser Laura Tyson, stressing that she was expressing a personal opinion, said the package approved in February was "a bit too small," according to a Bloomberg news report.

OK, now that they are drunk with power, they are now trying to suspend reality. Either they truly believe that their massive deficit spending from a massive debt position will work (contrary to what even deficit/surplus economist John Maynard Keynes suggested on that side of the coin) - or they are just assaulting us with another 'rules for radicals' on day whatever this is of zero's rule.

I think what they mean is that they didn’t have enough time to get all of their earmarks in the bill ...

Stimulus I was meant to be spent in 2010 winning the mid-term elections.
Stimulus II will be designed to be spent in 2012 winning the next major election.

Consensus of everyone I talk to is:

VOTE THEM ALL OUT

The anger is now palpable and growing worse. Tsunami growing.

Is anyone else detecting a pattern here?

Everytime they have a major bad bill up for a vote....they start distracting folks to ‘look over here’ and try to change the subject to another controversial bill in the ‘future’. It is always the same story line. ‘The Dems may not all be in lockstep’...blahblahblah, yet they always vote in lockstep at the end of the day(give or take one or two votes..which they easily make up for with rinos).

Stay focused people..call your senators about the capntax bill and the healthcare bill.. and yes, go ahead and mention you don’t want a second pork bill either..but stay focussed. This is to distract folks.

An outrage an hour, designed to wear us all down.

KEEP CALLING AND WRITING ON ALL OF IT!!

Actually this makes sense. If it was such a good idea in the first place, why in the heck not do it again and again. Every quarter? How about every week. We can stimulate everybody into a billionaire. Of course a loaf of bread would end up costing two billion.

The thing is it was a very bad idea first time around. You cannot spend your way to prosperity. The government needs to spend way less. And cut back on regulation which is always restraint or holding back.

Of course. The first “stimulus” failed, and so they want another, which will fail too.
Whenever liberal solutions to social problems fail, as they always do, liberals always demand a stronger version of the one that failed, which will fail too in its turn.

Sure, it was too small! They were trying to take down the nation and in that respect, it was too small and didn’t work.

Now they have to try again and laugh at how stupid the “smart Americans” are.

Any vote, democrat, independent or republican, in favor of a second stimulus package should be voted out of office as soon as possible!

Add me to that consensus. For the Republicans who DIDN’T vote for it, but remain silent and act as if “Shoot, we lost that one, oh well better luck next time”, they need to go too.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

The first stimuless was a payoff for their supporters at the expense of the taxpayer. The second stimuless is to keep from killing the golden taxpayer. As is usually with Fascicrats, it will be too late and misdirected. The best stimulus would be to cancel the first stimuless.

“Stimulus I was meant to be spent in 2010 winning the mid-term elections.

It’s hard to imagine the diabolical possibilities of this admin - of their marxist desires and what they can actually do underneath our watchful eyes...

Now YOU have caught on to the scam. It is all about power. Nothing but. They have stolen, and will continue to steal YOUR money to fund their empowerment. That includes elections, ACORN, etc.

Let's follow the demhole "logic"....

borrowing money you don't have to spend it on things you don't need will stimulate the economy....

piling up mountains of debt doesn't matter

so....why doesn't the government borrow $300,000,000,000,000 and send everyone checks for $1 million?

I would go one step farther. I intend to vote against any politician who represents me that voted for the TARP bailout, Porkulous, Amnesty, the prescription drug give-a-way, health care "reform" or anything else that isn't specifically contained within the bounds of Federal responsibility as is stated in the Constitution.

It's way past time to clean house!
