Ah well, the north is too stupid to feed themselves as they sit there with their heads back screeching feed me, feeeeeeeeeeeed me....from the ghettos...where all the parents are fat and the kids are skinny urchins living in streets with filthy gutters...and they're all wondering why they can't get out...don't they own maps?







That's a typical 'Rowdyism', if I've ever heard one.

The north sends their money to Washington DC, Washington sends it to the south (and Alaska) in the form of 'state welfare', and then you proclaim that WE need someone to feed us?!?!?!

I got a great idea: how about the money sent back to the states, goes back in an equal proportion to how it was sent to Washington.



And us northerners don't want to hear any crying when your unemployment rates hit 20%.

Thats because we grow our own food and do not rely on Obama.

Obama will do what President Pelosi and Vp Reid tell him to do. He has no clue.

Eric Cantor was one of the Republicans who voted against the stimulus package here in Virginia. The Legislature here has a majority of Republicans. They don't want the stimulus to work, because they fear losing their votes. So it seems like their plan is to vote against the stimulus and then cry out that it's not working. What bettter way to say the stimulus is not working, than just not voting for it. Eri Canton, really need to tell us the truth about what he and his republican associates are really trying to do. He never tells us their plan to make the economy better, but they can surely complain about what the current administration is doing wrong.

"You saying everyone in the north lives in ghettos is no different than saying everyone in the south lives in trailers. Your rampant generalizations and reckless use of labels only contributes to the divisions in this country. Shame on you. - by slownewsday_05 July 11, 2009 9:32 AM PDT



I don't agree with you often slownewsday_05, but BRAVO !

Yeah - this puzzles me too. Why a second if the first wasn't designed to handle the problem. Maybe the first was a little too immediatlly implemented due to problems that would bite us right away - but that would seem counter intuitive to it being spread out over years.

It sure does come across as not being well thought out. I'd weight the spending more heavily towards the front end to get PRODUCTIVE jobs, that would start SUSTAINING themselves over the long run, using areas of newer technology.

"The failures of the investment banks did not just suddenly happen last October. A system collapse of that size takes time to develop and I am sure it well known inside the banks and the in the Bush administration well before it became a crisis. Based on how well the Bush administration played politics rather than addressing domestic issues, it would be fair to conclude that the Bush administration hoped the banks cold hold on until after the presidential election. - the 74blaster.

You do come across independent, blaster. That is a novelity for people that make that sort of claim on this site. You have my respect. I'm a Conservative that votes republican because it is closer to my believes than the current Democratic party. The Republicans have definitly slipped away from Conservative policy, to say the least.

There was a very interesting 2 hour report on TV a couple of months ago that told the exact story of how the banks got to where they are, via the mortgages. It is called "House of cards". It pulls no punches against the previous administration.

It may be of interest to you. Please do read this short description and watch for its occassional re-appearance on CNBC. It is worth while.

Let's hope our country emerges from the current crisis intact, No matter WHO does it.

Seems all comments on Obama and his crew look like one idiot in favor and 19 having to pay for it.

Hey CBS, what happened to all the news articles regarding health insurance reform? The articles only appeared for a few hours yesterday, and then were gone...missing! It doesn't have anything to do with the airing last night on PBS of the Bill Moyers interview of Wendell Potter, former head of Corporate Communications at CIGNA, one of the largest health insurers in the United States, does it?

Mr. Potter was basically whistle-blowing on the powerful Insurance Lobby, and that they will stop at nothing to preserve the status quo! Money is no object, and truth is nowhere to be found....the insurance companies have mounted their fight to the death, and to hell with WE THE PEOPLE! Unless WE THE PEOPLE stand up to this assalt, we will all be the biggest suckers of them all! While members of the insurance industry, and our politicians go laughing all the way to the bank!

The enemy is us.

I can't say I agree with you completely grabandgo. I'd like to, but have you got some supporting facts. Now, don't get all emotional on me. I AM a conservative. But opinions are cheap shots without back up.
