All I can say is Obama has proven to be a liar...fact checks will say he is honest and even parse words LOL. Under how it was said to go We the american people could look at the bill for 5 days before it was made law....we get to look at it just over 2 days and it has already passed both house and senate ...There is also no pork in it just 200 million here and 3 billion there for such things as studying mice in california...If you look at who had their hands in what Pelosi has a ton of pork as well as Reid (he is getting a new railroad between LA and Las Vegas. 8 billion dollars worth.)

LOL you should have seen Hannity last night. It was funny. They had an actor on there that said free enterprise has shown to NEVER work (our country has lasted longer than any modern socialist or comunist state) and that Republicans have led our nation for the last 28 years....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif that dude was a serious wack job. All the looney left will do is blame everything on Bush and **** up the country to force socialism down our throats. That is how power hungry those idiots are.

we created a financial bubble, which burst. now, we're trying to recreate the bubble again. good plan.

This

I know we need to stop the hemorrhaging, but we really shouldn't be trying to get back to where we were, which was obviously unsustainable. If we couldn't support the pet project then, it probably isn't wise to try it now.

I feel sorry for the company that has invested millions of dollars on a train from LA to Las Vegas. Now Harry Reid has come in with his uber pork rail train from LA to LV that will wipe that previous company, its investment, and its train off the map. Way to put people out of work and business by "creating jobs"

he has to sign it first. Releasing it they way they are is just trying to look like tax cuts are not anything. obama's stimulus is 200 dollars per person less than Bush's but costs a whole hell of a lot more... I have a feeling by the time Obama is done he will make Carter look like a top 3 president.

probably going to the printing press soon. I hope you can hold on long enough for that 13 dollars to get there so it can drastically change your financial situation and save you from these dire economic conditions.

Good luck on making it until the money shows up, I'm sure you will be relieved when it shows up and you can pay all of your bills with the large sum of money...

I cant believe this garbage went through.

I would have liked to see a cross border sales tax (internet tax) and major investment in national parks. And when it comes to energy could we please take our hands off the Saudis balls.
