The Stimulus Package

Higher educated citizens will not 'stimulate' the economy. But the rest of it I agree with you on. I also like the fact that ALL Republicans voted no on this thing, plus 11 Dems. This thing could get real ugly.

Kinda makes ya understand why some have tagged it as the "Porkulous" package!

I like the idea of giving everyone $2,700. That would stimulate my package

Finally, a bipartisan vote! But you won't hear it called that on the news!

I find it funny how people can poke at this package but hey, let's give corporate America billions, then only get more people un-employed and these same jokers give themselves bonus's and hoard the cash. I thought this plan was a good idea when it first came to be, but I'm wondering what is going on with it right now. When I found out that about 8-19% was going to be used for infer structure instead of the 60 or so percent that was talked about before I was really mad.

I never thought of it like that but it is true.

I seem to believe it would also stimulate all of our local b&m's as well as the good 'ol boys at CCOM .....I'm just guessing

Kuzi hit this one right on the head! It's not giving Corporate America anything. It's taking away less from them. It's not like giving them a tax break is a hand out or something. It was their money to begin with. If you don't like Corporations then don't spend your money with them. Stop going to Wal Mart. The government taking less of their money isn't "giving" them anything.

When will these politicians learn to keep their stimulus packages to themselves? They always seem to get into trouble... ask Bill Clinton.

Also, Zimmerman, your point about college tuition is excellent. The rising costs of a college education are fueled by government subsidies in the same way that rising health costs are fueled by health insurance. Businesses dealing necessities (energy, education, healthcare) in this country charge based on what the consumer can afford, rather than what the product or service actually costs to deliver.

My final thought on this whole deal is that ALL of these moronic socialist politicians can come stimulate my package!

True that, but I wasn't talking ab out the purchasing of ammo. I was thinking more along the lines of a Waco-style standoff. Just take lots of gars.
