President Bush insists the economy will rebound this summer as 130 million households start spending their economic stimulus checks.

hahahahaha......all that money will go to big oil, super Wal-marts, or to credit card companies for money already spent.

Bush is an idiot, and so is anyone who voted for him.

There should be celebrations. After all we are converting food production to biofuels therefore less food so prices rise. We don''t drill Anwar, offshore, etc. less supplies prices rise. Apprarently economics is no longer taught nor is cause and effect.

[noloyalisti]

We were going to pay for this foolish, un-necessary, invasion and occupation so we might as well get used to it.

How are those conservative privatization, globalization schemes working for you Republicans. Aren''t we proud of our party now!!!!

Watch "Hacking Democracy". Then you can draw an opinion as to what happened to the elections. Once you watch this you won''t be able to point fingers at the voters. Only the ones who rig the machines.

OUR GOVERNMENT HAS LET US DOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN!
IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE PRESENT FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE!

[prairiefox1]

THE MONEY PIGS ARE IN A FEEDING FRENZY AND THEY WONT STOP UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO STEAL!
OR IF THEY RECEIVE ONE BULLET EACH!

NEW RECORD 114.94$ a barrel of oil...HOLY MOUNT ZION!!

[timetrips1]

In hindsight the "tax and spend" democrats would have been a much better alternative to the "reduce taxes and spend even more (so we bankrupt our children through our great-great-great-great..... children). At least the Dems were honest. The Repubs did nothing but lie to us for the last 8 years. They had complete control of all three branches of government and all they did was make the rich richer with government hand outs, then lower their taxes on those handouts and finally blow the deficit from 2 trillion to 9 trillion.

Thank You,,,and ,,again,,, I agree with the rest of your post.

I can''t wait either, for Bushit,exits,,and Jailed for what he has done to this country.

[dredre2k]

You are absolutely right on the mark,,on both posts.

I just got a $20.000.00 hospital bill in the mail a couple of days ago,,where do you think my puny $300.00 or $600.00 is going?

I wonder if thats going to have the beneficial effect on the economy that Bushit is talking about? ---slim1h20

Thanks for your post! Sorry to hear about the hospital bill. Will definitely be praying for your recovery and for a way to get that bill paid!

You shouldn''t have to pay for your health like you''re making a car payment. I''d rather see my tax dollars go to help you and others with medical needs rather than Iraq.

Regarding the economy, if they want to see a stimlulus for the economy, the gov''t should pass laws to end the rampant market speculation of gas and lower prices back to resonable levels! That will keep money in people''s pockets and help the economy. High gas prices have really cut into money that I normally put away.

I am wrenching at the thought of what gas prices will do during the summer and when hurricanes strike. 5 and 6 dollar gas is on the way if this doesn''t stop. Then people making below 50 k will really be in a squeeze :-X.

Either way, i can''t wait until the bush presidency is OVER! :-)

All the natural resources-including coal,oil,natural gas are the property of the state;they are used to generate revenue and better the life of the citizens.
The anomaly that exists in USA today will be corrected
soon that''s why we got this "feeding frenzy".

[lfitts1]

Remember it''''s Congress that makes law,
and hands out pork and welfare programs, not the President.
He has to work with what''''s handed to him.

.

Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:

A little over one year ago, under a Republican Congress:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

SINCE voting in a Democrat Congress in 2006, we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline UP to $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is UP to 5.1% (& higher every day now);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity
value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America already ''''voted for change'''' in 2006, and Boy-o-boy,
we got it!

How amazingly stupid are you or do you think we are--the administration has messed up everything it has touched. It turned a surplus into record deficits. It brought back voodoo economics with predictable effects and got us into a morass in Iraq that we cannot readily extricate ourselves--but sure it the democrats fault--go back to sleep

Yet another part of DOOFUS''S legacy. Food prices and energy prices skyrocket, and house values plummet. This man is a ONE man wrecking crew!

[dredre2k]

Why is it legal that speculators can drive up the price of Oil (something that''s critical to the lifeblood of this economy)? The gov''t needs to step in and stop the speculators from manipulating oil prices. It''s breaking the economy.

Enron traders did the same thing with the price of power in California. Enron analyists raised the prices of power in california by engineering brownouts and exporting surplus power out of the states. THis drove the price of power in california through the roof! Although, this time the fraud is much more coordinated and legalized between oil companies and speculators... They''re both making money!

Our oil resources should be nationalized until this country moves to hydrogen and electric cars.

As I understand it, The $600.00 is coming from your 09 taxes. -- navpro

That would be terrible, but I wouldn''t be surprised. I was/am under the impression that rebate checks will be financed by the Gov''t by taking another LARGE loan from the fed, which we the PEOPLE will have to pay back in taxes anyways...

It''s funny that Bush and CO thinking/hoping that the economy will be saved by everyone running to spend their rebate checks on new Plasma TV''s. I think most people will use their checks to buy: Gasoline, Pay Bills, Buy Food.

There will be a few that will blow the checks, but the cumulative effect will be like throwing a bucket of water on a burning house! ;-X

1 rule change and a sure way to stop the speculation; (YOU HAVE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE COMMODITY YOU ARE SPECULATING ON) they can change this in a matter of a month or 2.


BUT THEY WON''T!
