Okay…to put this in perspective Greg, not everyone has 20 thousand dollars on hand. If people are given money to buy things they need then people have to make those things. Again it’s a cycle!!!

If people are able to spend money then people have to make the shit for them to purchase. These people are paid for their service, they take their money and buy more stuff. It continues on and on and on. The problem comes when people no longer desire a particular product and that industry fails, we have to prop up the employees of whichever failing industry so that they can buy stuff and help the cycle continue

Waiting for the left to bitch about what this will do to the deficit like they have been the last 8 years when it comes to spending………crickets chirping.

Aw, you poor heartless Conservatives don’t want to feed the people, *whine, whine, sniff, sniff* because we all know weatherizing homes, providing internet,modernizing higher education,……is the exact same thing as filling an empty belly. Go peddle that pathetic drivel somewhere else.

Dino:

Besides, went through this already. The generous con is a myth.

Reality is a myth to Dino.

Especially including anything that interferes with his misanthropic world view.

Two trillion bought us 6 years of no terrorist attacks at home. Money well spent. I spent 20,000 this year getting a new roof and double paned windows for my house. I didn’t need the government to give me one damned cent.

Sparkie, the stems would rather we step over people lying in the streets like some bad imitation of Calcutta.

Cons HATE helping people but they love to tell you how generous they are.

So tell us cons, tell us how YOU’RE really the generous ones and the liberals are the selfish ones. Tell us how much you do to help those in need.

It doesn’t matter what you think. It’s going to happen. Whine all you want. Paranoid conservatives have had their way for eight years. Move over.

Dino uses that word HATE a lot.

Sick little fuck.

Jimmy, why don’t you tell me? You’re the one claiming cons are more generous.

i already did… and i gave you sources…… libs make more and give less. you may not like it, but you libs do make more and they do give less.

Then explain to me why they HATE seeing people helped.

it all depends on what you call help. you libs want their slaves back, but its illegal (i know you think it sucks, but thats the way it is now). so your goal is to keep them just fed enough to mow your lawn, but limit their ability to move away from the plantation. cons want people to be free. and to be free you need to have the ability to care for yourself. for you to do that, you need to be taught to fish not given one.

your feel good actions sounds great (who doesnt want people to do well? well, you know, except your side) and makes you all fuzzy, but long term doesnt work. cons methods can hurt BAD at the start, but long term the families are freed from the cycle of being your indentured servants. i know.. god forbid a california liberal mow his own lawn or clean his house. those cute little mexicans you people abuse are so darn handy, huh?

The terrorists are just waiting for us to blow our wad and relax a bit

Don’t you think that more spending will cause us to blow our wad? Do you think before you type?

Here are a couple links to some information about the proposed stimulus package:

You could give me 1 second of freedom from your idiotic screeching. I’m a dumbass because I can see that this “stimulus” is a pile of crap? You are a fool because you believe a corrupt Chicago Democrat is going to save us through spending. Giving money to the corrupt is not going to do squat. His Treasury Sec can’t even pay his own tax bill. This is after the IRS told him he owed the money. Somehow I am supposed to believe he is an economic genius but he can’t even pay taxes that he has been told he owes. (and I’m the dumbass) If Obama told you she shait loves and fishes you would be eating out of the bowl before it hit the water. Schmuck!

I work for an agency that delivers Weatherization Assistance to people. The area I work for has been built on the housing market. We’ve seen tons of middle-class people suffer due to loss of work.

I must say, it’s AWESOME to see so many people getting jobs because of this program. Don’t limit yourself to thinking those getting this assistance are lazy folks who care not to weatherize their own homes. This program helps people get jobs. Contractors, laborers, social workers, and administrative workers are keeping and getting many more jobs now.

Furthermore, the number of people coming in to request energy assistance, another tax-funded program, is decreasing due to Weatherization Assistance. The scope is bigger then just spending. It’s a huge, worthwile investment with a very good history of positive resultes, ie. people end up getting off the system.

We’re all paying for the stimulus just like we all paid for Iraq and the bailout. It would be nice to make republicans pay for it since it was their ignorance, selfishness and greed that took us to financial ruin, but we liberals are fair-minded.

Yeah, it was so terrible that your guy Obama is going to adopt it again.

I would like the Democrats to also pay for their incompetence with the CRA and the false inflation of the housing market by Dodd and Frank as well as Schumer doing the run on InBank. I would also like the Democrats to personally pay for their 9 trillion dollars of social spending in which they forcibly take money out of mine and every other hard-working American’s pocket under the guise of the “common good” when it is used to line their pockets.

However, Americans are going to apparently be under a lot of misery, so that should make you happy.

Rezistik,

I didn’t have 20 grand either. I had to go out and borrow it. What gives you, the govt or anyone else to pick my pocket to give money away?

I work in manufacturing so spare me your lecture. Stealing money from one group of workers to give to another group is not going to stimulate the economy. If it did, Russia and the old Soviet bloc would be king.

I like your we have to prop up industry rant. It is so stupid I don’t even know where to begin. Why should we prop up GM. I keep hearing that if they go under we will lose millions of jobs. Where, GM doesn’t employ millions. They then said that their vendors would go under, that was a good excuse until their vendors said that if they went under it would be no big deal since they had seen the writing on the wall and had diversified away from GM over the years. My point is, no one should ever be to big to fail. Tell me, did the collapse of Montgomery-Ward kill the US Economy? How about the railroads? At one time they were to big to fail. They failed, their workers found other jobs and America rolled on with no ill effects. It will happen when GM fails too.

Dino will be first on line with his hand out screaming HELP ME, I’M GAY, I’M JUST A BURDEN ON SOCIETY and DESERVE HELP!!!

Dino,

You are the most hate filled individual I have ever seen. I have never looked at a Gay Pride event and said I wish those people would die. You however have wished death on conservatives may times ie you wish the George Bush would sink. Listening to you talk about hate is the perfect joke.

Greg
Pay me 8 trillion and I will give you 100 years of freedom from flying saucers. The terrorists are just waiting for us to blow our wad and relax a bit, dumbass.
