So this year, Bush is lauded for spending borrowed money, next year''''s President will be hung for working to pay it back. Good job.

Ha, good one. You actually think the next president will pay it back. Whoever it is will have their own agenda that will cost plenty, democrat or republican.

One way the government could save millions of dollars is to get a hold on giving so many people the earned income tax credit. We don''t need rebates to boost the economy, we need to stop giving people everything and actually make people earn their money!

Okay, Republicans. How much of your precious tax dollars will go just to pay the interest on this new loan?

Oh, domestic spending by a Republican president is soooo fiscal, isn''t it?

"Both [R and D] campaigns promise fiscal discipline, as well as ambitious new programs. These kinds of have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too vows were merely laughable last year when the federal deficit was running at a manageable $163 billion a year."

"But the economic slowdown, the hangover from the Bush years and the growing bite of entitlements mean the federal deficit will almost certainly top $400 billion by 2009."

"The accumulated national debt will be in shouting distance of the $10 trillion mark."

So this year, Bush is lauded for spending borrowed money, next year''s President will be hung for working to pay it back. Good job.

Please don''t tell me China.

"To pay for the rebates %u2014 which are estimated to cost about $117 billion over the next two years %u2014 the government will have to borrow more money, enlarging the budget deficit."


Who are we borrowing from??

Remember, this November to vote out ALL INCUMBENTS. Would it be inefficient? Yup, but it would stop the financial bleeding to close down this den of inequity we call CONgress. These people DO NOT represent us. Look at the attention to steroids while the country is going to hell in a handbasket. They''re attempting to distract us from the fact that they get NOTHING important done but they can all get behind the evil drugs. Wake up America it''s time to take our country back!

This money is chump change but will become more than that with the interest. I''ll reluctantly take it but I will not blow it and certainly not on anything made in China. Either pay some bills or invest it but no new toys. Of course some more ammo would be nice.

Bush, what a D ick!

I''m no economist, but I would geuss if gas cost about $1.25 less the past year or so, consumers would be able to spend more on other things and this recession wouldn''t be happening (at least not as bad). I know I, for one, am pumping much less money into the economy in general lately because I''m pumping it all into my car instead.

BOOSTING OUR ECONOMY is such a great slogan, love the red, white, and blue motif.

I would have preferred BOOTING OUR PRESIDENT slogan, done in a skull and crossbones motif.
