Thread: What do you think of the fact that Obama passed a $800 Billion $$$ "stimulis" bill that will not stimulate?

A bill that promised new jobs, school/education improvement, road & bridge improvements, etc ... yet only a little over a 1/4 of the TOTAL is what he promised, the rest is gove't 'pork' aka social programs to pay off the votes that got them elected!!!!I read an article today in my local paper that was written from an writer at the NY POST stating " The experts say that the stimulis package released will is not built to stimulate the economy."Why are we not listening to the experts to begin with??To you doubter posting here:$300,000 for a scultpture garden in miami$50,000,000 to a school for the arts$700,000,000 to a super computer that helps est. the weather$25,000,000 for anti-smoking campaignThese are just a few, if we really wanted to help these americans, we would put in real programs that workIf we have $819 BILLION to use then like many of you say - lets put it to good use - like increasing length of unemployement benefits, help with healthcare spending, provide funding to schools in low income neighborhoods where they run out of supplies 1/2 way through the year, etc... there is MANY things that can be spent on while we are spending other than gov't programs that will be short stints (therefore no real job creation) or progams that will not see developement for at least 3 yearsI apologize for the gramatical errors, I was not doing a copy & paste as I evidently should have. I am glad to see that society atleast cares where their $$$ is going; whether agreed or disagreed upon.another article written:http://hosted.ap.org/see: Analysis: Stimulus bill that's not all stimulatinghttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB123310466514522309.htmlFYI ... the guy I voted for Senator Lindsey Graham voted against the bill, to bad I couldn't vote in other states...

Not surprised. It's Obama.

It's exactly what I expected a socialist to do. This was somebody's idea of 'change'.

Obama is a fraud.This is a no-brainer to the non-mesmerized people, but it will take others a bit of time to wake up to his treachery.When you buy a car on emotion, you fail to see it's flaws. This what happened with the masses who bought into Obama and thought he would be like a savior.There was no way to reason with them. It was like trying to talk a man out of marrying a gold digger, when you saw she was a tramp, but he was caught up with her.Some people will have to experience the hell of Obama for themselves, whereas others had foresight, but they were cast aside as the new minority.http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/807405/barack_obama_exposed_an_interview_with.html?cat=75

Well Obama has not passed anything yet, but it a big pork pie spending bill. He has to pay back all his little commie-crats

Business as usual...you should know by now that government in every form we know today does not intend to help us...only quiet us...

If you don't like all the ear marks and pork in the "stimulus package" you should have been more active in who represents you in the U.S. Congress. The congress decides taxes, laws, all spending and debt etc. Not the President. Understand?

So where were you the past 8 years when they were spending like drunken sailors on leave?Guess it's only a problem when someone else is doing it...

I think it is the first step in obamas downfall.

You are correct. I am going to vomit. Our country will be absolutely ruined if this passes.
