pc313 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) nyt 2-5-09 Obama; Frist of all i found this deficit when i showed up. I found this National Debt doubled wrapped in a big bow waiting for me when i stepped into the Oval Office!! Given their past preformance of managing the Government and are money or lack of fiscal responsibility and their inability to play well with others in the last 2 weeks,i can wait for the 2010 elections and the final death rolls of the GOP!!!

wayne Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Obstructicans are in the throes of political death on this one. Unfortunately they will probably not pass it soon Quote
Fairweather Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Exactly what is in this spending bill that you like so much? Be specific. Quote
j_b Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Exactly, what did you like so much in the 8 trillions dollars Bush committed to invading Iraq, bailing out and giving insecured loans to the banksters? Be specific. Quote
kevbone Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Exactly what is in this spending bill that you like so much? Spending. FW....ever heard the term "you have to spend money to make money"? This country needs a massive jolt of money poured into it to get it going. Unlike the last spending bill where we still dont know were most of it is........ If you were to jump start your car.....would you cut off the energy (cut taxes) to the battery to get it going? Or would you give it a jolt with cables from another car/sorce to get it going? Quote
kevbone Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 FW. This country is were it is because of the GOP's ways of governing. It is obvious to the world that it does not work (hence the current crisis). Why dont you move aside and let someone else give it a try? Quote
billcoe Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 FW....ever heard the term "you have to spend money to make money"? This country needs a massive jolt of money poured into it to get it going. Unlike the last spending bill where we still dont know were most of it is........ I'm convinced that the Government only understands the first part of that equation. They spend it. They generally are unconcerned with "Making" it unless it gets printed on a machine. The reality is this is uncharted territory. I don't think anyone really knows WTF or where to go or how to go about it. Certainly the last crew steered straight for the reef in the shoals trying to scoop out the last fish -then they stepped away from the tiller and said: "Here, sucks to be you, but good luck we're out of here". Read this - http://www.forbes.com and if it doesn't send chills down your spine, consider this little nugget which got overlooked in that article. The treasury doesn't expect to be able to sell all that issuance, so they will be one of the larger buyers of the T-Bills. Hmmmm, think about that.... then run to convert your dollars into Yuan.

prole Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Given their past preformance of managing the Goverment and are money or lack of fiscal responsibility and their inability to play well with others in the last 2 weeks,i can wait for the 2010 elections and the final death rolls of the GOP!!! Come 2010, this country will be begging for a fascist dictator to make everything better. Let's not forget who we're dealing with: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism -- it's nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears' children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you're going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase "enhanced interrogation techniques." You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can't spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don't want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think it’s your patriotic duty to spend money you don’t have on crap you don’t need. You think Hillary lost because of sexism, when it’s actually because she’s just a bad liar. You think Iraq is better off now than before we invaded, and don’t understand why they’re so ungrateful. You think Tim Russert was a great journalist. You’re hopping mad about an auto industry bailout that cost a squirt of piss compared to a Wall Street heist of galactic dimensions, due to a housing crash you somehow have blamed on minorities. It took you six years to figure out what a tool Bush is, but you think Obama will make it all better. You deem it hunky dory that we conduct national policy debates via 8-second clips from “The View.” You think God zapped humans into existence a few thousand years ago, although your appendix and wisdom teeth disagree. You like watching vicious assholes insult each other on TV. You support gun rights, because firing one gives you a chubby. You cuddle falsehoods and resent enlightenment. You think the fact that 43% of whites could stomach voting for an incredibly charismatic and eloquent light-skinned black guy who was raised by white people means racism is over. You think progressive taxation is socialism. 1 in 100 of you are in jail, and you think it should be more. You are shallow, inconsiderate, afraid, brand-conscious, sedentary, and totally self-obsessed. You are American. --from The The 50 Most Loathesome People In America, 2008 Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 "you thought you could beat back the forces of fascism, and you did. You thought you could go to the moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter, and you did. You believe you have the most creative culture in the world, and you do. You think you've got one of the most varied and pristine wilderness systems in the world, and you do. You think you've got the best systems of higher education in the world, and you do. You think you've got some of the most vibrant cities in the world, and you do. You think your Constitution and system of justice is one of the best (when not circumvented) in the world, and it is. You think you're a nation of irreverant, cool people to hang around with, and you are." Just to be a bit more balanced about it... Quote
prole Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Oh, don't get me wrong. I totally agree. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Quote
Fairweather Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 So I guess no one is up to the challenge--or just don't know. It's the "do something" disease--and, in j_b's case, a mental deficiency. Quote
j_b Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Of course, why didn't I think that pointing out Fairweather intellectual bankruptcy was a sign of mental deficiency? Quote
rob Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 intellectual bankruptcy, mental deficiency...you guys speak in such big words fw, what i like about this spending bill is that it's a spending bill. The more, the better. Quote

billcoe Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 It sound's like you are paying too much,maybe work on the lease rates a bit in either case, try to get hourly rates instead of min. and the rate night come down. It's not every day one gets their package stimulated, best hang in as long as possible....congrats and good luck! Quote
