Obama/Pelosi's bill

How many economists were consulted before this bill was approved? Why I they in such a rush to pass it? And of course, why all the pork? Has there ever been a time when a bill was passed for itself with no pay backs added on? This bill is a disaster and reeks of socialism. I have tried to get people to read about the pork, the waste, and the socialistic programs it is introducing. All some think is Congress and the Pres wouldn't do it if it wasn'[t right! Let's get our heads out of the sand. Most of us understand and know, but what can be done? I contact my reps, to no avail...how about you?

yap yap yap. all the hype and none of the substance. The republican administration and congress screwed us to the ground, the dem administration and mostly dem congress is attempting to get us back up - there will certainly be some flaws but you have to give it a chance to work. There are no silver bullets.

Remembering the words of my Grandparents: “Don’t live beyond your means”. Possibly we all fall into this category. With past years of easily available credit to purchase things we really couldn't afford, we all have part of that pie! The expectation that our homes were always going to be worth more, our paychecks were always going to be greater next year, our future retirement was in the bag, and our investments were always going to increase. We all fell into the trap! When our Capitalistic System is tinkered with by those leaders who have their own personal agenda (Trace the Money in the stimulus), “The System Fails”. Bailouts for those people and companies who are failing prevents the system from "Self Correcting" and the money provided to them from possibly well meaning politicians only further prolong the recovery! Let the System Work!

Stimulus Package Impact

Reading some of the comments it is clear that the Professional Politicians have succeeded in dividing the American people. This is nor a Republican or Democrat problem. The Professional Politicians of both parties have violated the trust of the American people for the sake of nothing more than POWER and nothing else. Too many American people are falling for it. United We Stand Or Divided We Fall is as true today as it was as the nation was formed. If we focus on Democrats against Republicans or the class warfare of "rich" against "poor" (what ever those terms mean) we are reacting exactly how the Professional Politician want. Are these politician acting in the best interest of America or are you supporting them because they support "your personal special interest." If we allow these Professional Politicians to "DIVIDE and CONQUER" then the greatness of America is over. We American voters have populated the political system with a bunch of egotisical, selfish, immature, jerks.

When reading the comments to this article, I noticed that those folks in favor of the "stimulus package" were very quick to blame President Bush and the bad old Republicans for all the woes of the world, yet the folks who are not in favor of the "stimulus package" appeared to weigh merits of the package and found the weaknesses in it, not in the people who proposed it.

This bloated "Stimilus Package" is a prime example of what Obama had in mind when he spoke of change. The Democrats are trying to pass every piece of legislation to pacify their radical supporters and pay their political debts on the back of the american taxpayer. That is why the panic to get this bill passed before the public has a chance to find out exactly what socialist programs they will be funding for generations. This is just the begining of the end of the free America as we have known it since the founding fathers wrote the Constitution!

Whether we use tax cuts or spending for the stimulus, in the end the Government will see less money to conduct its business as it is today.
We have choices to address that issue, raise income for the Government to continue on its present model or alter the model with less services and programs(less cost).
In any case efficiencies of scale are the only rational means to address economics, public or private sector.
