None of that is true. What is true is your posts read like Rush Limbaugh wrote them. That means little is true and the wacko extremists are in a tizzy trying to blame anyone else for creating our disastrous economy - by spending because "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter". A direct quote from a wacko extremists who spend money as if is were free and expendable.

Three 747s packed nose to tail with pallets of 100 dollar bills flown into Iraq and distributed without any accounting. That is fiscal responsibility from the same Republicans who fear to spend on Americans - and then blame Obama.

No wonder wacko ring wing extremists are so hysterical. They must get us to forget who spend money on things that only create recessions and routinely subverted things that made America productive. "Mission Accomplished".

Always hype hysteria first to blame someone else for American losing jobs. A Rush Limbaugh technique right out of Hitler's playbook. Incite hate in society's least intelligent members.

Spending cut where needed and that so anger extremist Republicans. From the Washingont Post of 13 Feb 2009:

The bill, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law Monday, limits bonuses of executives at all financial institutions receiving government funds to no more than a third of their total annual compensation. The bonuses must be paid in company stock that can only be redeemed once the government investment has been repaid.

Finally spending cuts are implemented where most needed.

Extremists Republicans enriched themselves and their supporters while reducing American incomes by 2%. Time to cut costs where Republicans don't want spending cuts.

There are apparently a million holes in that bill.

I think it was Otto von Bismarck who once remarked, "Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made."

Having been on the inside myself, I would agree.

The bigger the bill, the more grit in the sausage....but in the end, the results are what counts.

Personally, I dont think this bill was big enough in terms of spending on infrastructure and other short term job creation programs.

But, we'll just have to wait and see....and keep hearing about Pelosi's mouse!

What did you do?

Either way the D's win - If it works its their fix, if it doesn't it was Bush's fault in the first place.

And the less we hear about Pelosi - the better.

I worked in the Senate for two years (83-84) for Senator Jennings Randolph....long hours and low pay...but what a trip it was!

In the 2010 Congressional elections, the defining issue is very likely to be the success or failure of this stimulus program. I dont think the Bush card will play.
