Default Boehner: No One's Read the "Stimulus"

A TRILLION DOLLARS, and Democrats can't be bothered to let the American public, or the members of Congress, read the the bill for the 48 hours THEY PROMISED!!!



Congratulations, Liberal America - these are the power-mad fools you put your faith in. At this rate, in four years our nation will be broke and we'll all be begging for another George Bush - except THAT may not even be legal anymore...

Typical Enigma, Mr. "I'm not a Democrat", to neither understand the value of the dollar, nor be outraged by the flat-out lies of the Democratic Party.

Didn't say the "End" was coming ... I said our nation will be broke. Too complex for you?

Don't expect a Democrat drone to care or understand the consequences of any of this. They simply want to live comfortably in their false paradigms. Consequences or outcomes be damned.....

Guess you missed this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=148129

On the bright side the liberal extrimist own this bill lock stock and barrel so when the end does come there can only be one set of people to blame.

The house vote, which passed, did not recieve a single vote from the right side of the aisle.

Well moan all yall want but the country supports the bailout. They are sick of the prospect of having to work to the bone at a minimum wage job.

Will the future generations have to deal with it? Yes. But I think it will be ALOT easier when they have fusion and quantum computers.

You don't find it the least odd that there's public support for something they can't possibly know the whole story about?

That's what I call uninformed decision-making. But why should we expect them to know - their own representatives don't know, either.

Well according to this, 67% of the country trust themselves economically more than the Congress:

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ..._than_congress

Doesn't show much confidence in B. Hussein Obama and the Democrat congress at all.

It actually says 67% of U.S. voters have more confidence in their own judgement than they do Congress. 19% trust Congress more. This 19% are the Democrat drones. And 14% aren't sure.

Most people don't work bare bones minimum wage jobs. Most people doing this year to year as grown adults have made bad choices in their lives. Instead of pursuing education, participating in hard work, and making sound and responsible financial choices, they have made poor decisions which has led to no personal financial and career development. Some have hit hard times and it couldn't be helped....but most in this position are there due to their own poor choices. Just like those obvious Dem drones at the Obama rally in Fort Myers the other day. Reality bites.

And your view of handing this debt to future generations, like it's something that's beneficial is narrow, and very thoughtless. There are children out there who didn't have a vote or say in any of this, and they will inherit this garbage and huge debt. And it all looks to be a complete waste that will do nothing to stimulate the economy, only increase debt and government dependancy. Your last statement is incoherent crap.

Actually what I see is a bunch of repubs who fear that the stimulus might actually help things. Greatly helping chances for serious repub defeat in 2010.

Otherwise why moan about it? If it falls on its face you can sweep through congress and make the Obama agenda go away.

Get this through whatever mind you do have. Continued deep recession will mean deep cuts in advancement. You cant start paying back the debt if you are still on fossil fuels 20 years from now because the people working on alt energy got laid off.

What, specifically, are you basing that on? Seems like nothing more than an ideologue's ad hominem attack, to me. Republicans (and some Democrats) who've opposed this bill have been very clear and specific as to why this bill is dangerous - and that includes the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

So, again I ask, care to be specific? No? Didn't think so.

Just like a typical liberal democrat ... always looking towards the next election and power-grab rather than dealing with the problems we face now...

Because, UNLIKE you liberals, the rest of us actually CARE about the country we live in and not just having our side in power.

Obviously you haven't read the bill either.

I'm not necessarily against a stimulus package, by the way (there's even a thread here were I posted an alternative). But this bill is NOT A STIMULUS PACKAGE (something that whatever mind YOU have obviously can't comprehend).

What's your point? No one is arguing that the economy isn't bad.

Posting links with irrelevent information doesn't make you seem any smarter than the rest of us, by the way.
