The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be a step in the right direction: Just giving money to individuals will not keep us competitive. We lead with companies like Google because the USA invented the Internet in a government research lab, same for nuclear power, the semi conductor, digital cameras. There is no reason we can''t be a leader in new sources of energy. Tax breaks alone will not keep us a leading economy. What are you going to spend your money on? A TV made in China? The approach to the Golden Gate bridge has bridge that is the 3rd worst in the country. We need broadband and wireless Internet our schools need upgrades and health care would be cheaper if we put our records online. Let''s give our workers and small business the infrastructure to succeed.
I am so angry that our government thinks that Americans are idiots! Why would anyone throw money to thieves? Many Americans, including myself, feel the smart move would have been to split that bail out money to tax paying American People who are under a certain wage limit. They could then pay off their houses, cars, student loans, credit cards, etc; therefore stimulating the economy. Banks would have money, mortgage companines would be flourishing, plus people would have money to shop and stimulate the economy. But instead, it was decided that we should give the thieves that put us in this position more money to spend as they see fit; or pad their own wallets. I am so angry with our government. I have lost ALL trust in our government and giving money to the people could not have been near as bad as what AIG, Walstreet, bankcards, etc have done with the money. Now, credit card rates are skyrocketing, jobs lost daily, seeing the crooks in high places moch us is almost too much to bare. Hope is dwindling, and the starch white shirts really DON''T CARE! I have so much repect for our President and my heart goes out to him to be so brave to sit in a den of thieves and try to reason with greed. God Bless this great country an our brave new President~

5.2 Billion for ACORN? $335 millions for STD prevention?
Posted by hclinton2012 at 04:33 PM : Jan 29, 2009
You really should try to keep up better. The $ for "STD prevention" was removed from the bill before the House vote - at Obama''''s request. He deemed it "inappropriate", but you''''''''re still willing to blame him for it. It was NEVER his idea.
There is no $5.2 billion for Acorn. That is just a lie. There is $4.19 billion for "community stabilization programs", most of which is designated for state and local governments. Rep. Boehner expressed a fear that Acorn might be eligible for a small part of it, but there is no designation for Acorn.
LOL, "Republican critics say the bill was little more than the fulfillment of a long-standing Democratic wish-list. Those critics pointed to $1 billion for Amtrak, $41 billion for local school districts and $127 billion for health care for the poor and unemployed" .... and thats why the people ar now wise to the Republicans... I guess we should have just handed the money to Halliburton and the ignororamus'' war in Iraq
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India .
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan .
If you purchase useless *** it will go to Taiwan .
And none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment.. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
"Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? "A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
"Q. Where will the government get this money? "A. From taxpayers.
"Q. So the government is giving me back my own money? "A. Only a smidgen.
"Q. What is the purpose of this payment? "A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
"Q. But isn''t that stimulating the economy of China ? "A. Shut up."
Don''t send a dime to those districts that the their republiscum reps voted "no" and let the scums explain to their people why they voted agaist it?
