Comments on: Warren Buffett Calls for Second Stimulus


by tautomer July 10, 2009 8:55 PM EDT: It is simply amazing to me how so many people are screaming that Obama is a failure. He has only been in office for 6 months. It took years for us to reach the point where we are now....

It took us from January 2007, when Obama and his Dems took over our government to get into "this mess". It's been nothing but downhill since then.

What is truly incredible about this article is the fact that "counties that supported Mr. Obama in the presidential election have so far received twice as much money per person from the stimulus package as those that supported Republican John McCain". LMAO...the great unifier!!!; Reply to this comment

CBS:

Unfortunately Buffett is an icon that folks relate to! But he is NOTHING more than a rubber stamp for OBAMA. Buffet actually admits that the first stimulus was poorly conceived, badly planned, and even worse with the implementation. In his own words he suggested that it became a 'tool for satisying the constituentecy of politicians"..Buffets day has gone...he is now being recognized as an OBAMABAT and I wouldn't listen to anything he says...he just wants approval from the socialistic democratic party to have his place in the new WORLD order...even to support Obamna as he does makes him ANTI-GOD!

by GiveMeFreedom July 10, 2009 4:26 PM EDT: How much money do you think the various entities owned by Mr. Buffet were owed by AIG and other companies bailed out last year? How much money did Goldman Sachs receive from AIG once we bailed them out? Everyone hollered at AIG about their bonuses. No one said a peep about Goldman Sachs. You want to know why? Run by democrats. Of course we should never complain when democrats make money. Only when republicans (the filth they are) get money, right?; Reply to this comment

It is simply amazing to me how so many people are screaming that Obama is a failure. He has only been in office for 6 months. It took years for us to reach the point where we are now....how can anyone expect him to solve every problem in 6 months? We have republicans standing up in the house and senate saying that Obama has failed and some demanding that the stimulus package be withdrawn before it has had a chance to work. They say these things and their answer to everything is to give the wealthy more tax cuts. Their claim is that if the wealthy get more money they will invest it in things that will create jobs. What a joke! It is true that more jobs is the answer buy it doesn't mean more jobs in China and Mexico. We absolutely MUST restore our manufacturing base and provide living wage jobs or else this will just continue to grow until there is nothing left of the middle class. The wealthy want to see things return to pre great depression times when there wasn't much of a middle class and the wealthy ruled like medieval lords. And if you argue that a middle class is necessary the republicans label you a socialist. I love this country and I love my neighbors and I am certainly not a socialist but I believe we must stand up for ourselves and let the wealthy know that we are not going to roll over and play dead. I say Power to the People.

by x500 July 13, 2009 1:47 PM EDT: ---we also must restore our manufactoring base and provide living wage jobs OR else this will be...........!

Yes I agree; BUT!!!!!!!!

"Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement-(ERPA)".

This agreement usually involves two countries; however, it may occur between a country and a large
corporation. BUYERS expect their carbon emission to be above the level allocated to them by the
KYOTO-Protocol, while the SELLER expects to produce less.
Often the SELLER has implemented new technology or is developing a new product that is expected to
lower its greenhouse gas emissions.

This can also translate to even more OUTSOURCING of manuf. Jobs. LESS JOBS.>>>>>>>>> (China).


by skyk-2009 July 10, 2009 7:08 AM EDT: LOL This President has a plan and a process in place. He's going to follow his plan and the distribution of those monies is part of that. We all saw what happened to the Bush Stimulus when it was just handed out like it was. The LAST people on this planet we should be listening to right now is the Repubs. They can't govern and have PROVEN it beyond any doubt.; Reply to this comment


by skyk-2009 July 10, 2009 7:06 AM EDT: LOL I'd suppose you were just raising heck when the Party of De-Regulation was spending those BILLIONS on a needless war and tax breaks for the rich that got us INTO this fix! LOL It's a little late for you clowns to be pretending to care about the middle class don't you think?; Reply to this comment


by skyk-2009 July 10, 2009 7:04 AM EDT: LOL I think "Trickle Down" Economics helps Mr. Buffet and the Wealthy MUCH more than any stimulus don't you?; Reply to this comment


by ma2_ciws July 9, 2009 11:14 PM EDT: ARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES MAD. THIS WOULD BE OUR THIRD STIMILUS. Did you all forget the free money sent out last year and the whopping eight bucks Obama gave you to give to the oil companies. Use your brains and stop listening to the media and people who are old enough to know Fred Fintstone personally! You are about to see our country so bankrupt it's not even something to laugh about.; Reply to this comment

I thought it was a blast how the Repubs are raising Cain about how slowly the monies are being dispersed, and then turning around and proposing that the durned bill be repealed!

by rerunz July 9, 2009 7:26 PM EDT: he didn't call for one. he merely stated that a second one might be necessary. bad headlines lead to poor understanding.; Reply to this comment
