Give the man a chance. Today is exactly 1 month that he has been in office. Let's see, 1 week, I will give the 13 bucks to one kid to spend in McDonalds or whatever.. the next week , the other kid gets it. I will let hubby spendhis 13 bucks anyway that he chooses and I will be a sport and take the 4th 13 dollars.. Will probably blow it in McDonalds too..... Maribell

Actually, my 401K is in tech stocks. I've been hosed since waaaaaay before this crap hit. LOL In all seriousness, with a straight face for Dig, it all boils down to each person is responsible for their own actions. Nobody forced all these people to takeout mortgages that they knew they couldn't afford....nobody!!! These people did it themselves trying to "keep up with the Jones". For those of usthat didn't go out and get in over our heads, but have been living within our means and saving money, why should we be penalized by having to pay highertaxes now or in the near future? Why? Because you don't think that this over one trillion dollars that Obama is spending right now is gonna grow on trees,do ya? Dig - you make a valid point about a root cause being the sub prime lending...but I go back to this...who made all these people take these loans? Did thebusinesses that offered these loans put a gun to their heads? I don't think so. You ask for accountability for those of us on the right, yet where is theaccountability of the people that only have themselves to blame for getting in to the mess they're in? Mike HWsMinis

Obama is spending it because it's the right thing to do and why did he have to do it? Eight years............ AND as Mike said? People, you can'tprotect folks from themselves and I don't see clowns like this "Santini", or Rush ditto-dope "Limp"baugh running for any office, justgrandstanding and making their bucks getting the sheep like Scotty all worked up!

All worked up??!??! How can a sane person not be worked up about what is happening here? How can us folks who play by the rules not be upset about thegovernment printing up more funny money to give away to try(and I mean try) to reverse the direction of our/your economy? Even if it works (only time willtell, but if left alone Capitalism would prevail eventually, it always has, unless Socialism takes over), who pays for it? Probably not thepeople/corporations who will benefit from it, but us hard working TAX (to death) payers...AGAIN... Nobody should be paying for others' bad behavior and poor choices. Suffer the consequences and start over. The Government bosom is getting larger andlarger, instead of shrinking like it should... Notice how they won't cut the able bodied deadbeats benefits of welfare and other social programs? That would be cruel, yet they will demand more out ofthe workforce in forced tax increases, and for what? Now, where's my Twinkie?????

This thread is going to get shut down unless the tone changes...I can feel it coming... I'm not bashing our POTUS, I just think the stimulus is a BAD idea, one we'll certainly pay for over time. Let me do say, I HOPE IT DOES WORK. I don't want the current administration to fail. I don't. Anyone who wishes that is crazier than me... It's not about the Hatfields and the McCoys, it's about preserving our country, and not swirling down the toilet. This stimulus plan, in my opinion, is doomed. It should fail and put us in dire straights, but I hope it doesn't. Oh, and my wife hates feet. She's phobic like you...my feet get zero attention...<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/ohwell.gif" alt="image">

<blockquote> I just think the stimulus is a BAD idea, one we'll certainly pay for over time.</blockquote>Of COURSE we and our children will have to pay for this!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Smoly that goes without saying. Butthe REASON we (and our children) will have to pay for this is because the last 8 years have been a complete abomination (not sure how to spell that)... We asAmericans have a duty to ALL OUR FELLOW AMERICANS to make things right. Sure some can say "no one put a gun to the head" of our fellow Americans whotook mortgages they should have not. I AGREE with that. What "they" did was prey on those that wanted to "live the American Dream" ofowning a home. Owning a home is what this country is built on and like drug dealers the UNREGULATED (Dubya wanted it this way) mortgage companies took completeadvantage of this. And let's not forget that this crisis is not just about those that took on debt that could not afford... there are also those that bought their homes onlyto see their homes values sink quicker than a '08 Treasure Hunt and then loose a job or get hours cut etc. It's much more complicated. It's wicked easy to sit in front of the latest iMac with the heat on and a fridge full of beer and food (I put beer first!) and complain about those thatare not "pulling their weight" America is a country built on pulling each other up by our bootstraps... not leaving them to fend forthemselves... The right needs to get on board… And lets cut out the racial undertones… it's degrading the this community and this country. Dig
