Its like injecting water into your veins and calling it blood....

really...so are you an accountant or something...

are you?

First off I never implied that he was stupid, I said he wasn't educated. There is a difference as I have stated. What I said was not respectful, and I apalogise for how I said it. But I do not think your service in the Miliitary has any influence in what I said. But this all comes down to being purposly ignorant. Why should I have to think about anything, I have the government to do it for me. And if you are telling me thats not what you are saying read your posts again. Because as far as I can tell you are saying as long as I get money why should I care where it comes from.

no but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the more money been spent improves the economy ....and I take it you have heard the expression you have to spend money to make money...oh and don't forget this was the Republicans and Democrats working together to set this up...

I do believe they plan to borrow the money from China at least that is what I heard on CNN... not sure if it is true.. just stating what I heard...

A dumb idea is a dumb idea no matter who brings it up. There are some people who do not see things in blue and red (democrat and republican) but good ideas and bad ideas.

The whole problem with the idea is that the country doesn't have the money to give it away.

all I know is that in my little household budget if I spend more than I have Im in big trouble...borrowing money to pay off my bills doesnt help because I still owe the money, only to someone else and they might charge me more to pay it back, then I owe MORE money.
the ones who benefit from spending money to make money are the ones who already have money to spend....
but hey, Im just a simple gal...what the hell do I know?

Amen Bro!!

you have to look ahead and not just at the ground in front of you...ahead is a recession and the only way to stop it is to get people spending...it's not something they want to do, they have to do it because as much as it costs now without it it'll cost you much more down the road..

If america has made it though the Great Depression the world will not end if we go through a little ressecion I know that its not that desireable, but doing something reckless is worse then just waiting something out. The only reason the government is doing this is to make it look like they are doing something. And thats the problem instead of doing what needs to be done (paying off debt) they do something that will make things worse to they can save face.

actually one of the main reasons of the impending recession is the people who bought houses they could not afford...and I suggest you do a little reading to have a better idea on what a recession would do to the economy and what the goverment is trying to do to protect you from it and the forecasted effects of the government's plans....

Borrowing from China ,might sound like the nice a nice friendly solution, Yes, Wall Street is in deep trouble and the only reason why it hasn't literally folded up is that so-called"sovereign wealth funds" have come to its rescue. They are investment funds owned by foreign governments, mostly from the Middle east, and Asia, notably China. Those govts have dollars flowing out their ears and the source of those dollars are two things, one is oil(high prices ) in the case of the middle eastern states, and the other is trade surplus, in the case of China ,and other Asian govts. like South Korea and Singapore. And how large are these funds? By latest estimate they are now up to more than 3 Trillion dollars-and that at a time When US banks and investment houses, like Citigroup and Merrill Lynch ,are just about to fold up because of losses sustained by bad investment judgement. They have turned to Arab and Asian govts for help Meaning , in effect, asking those govts to "please take over just so we can survive and don't lose face.After all, we are WALL STREET."

One by-product of this US made crisis that WALL STREET is fast on the way to being an affair of Asian and Arab govts.

i'm stuffing mine in my mattress

The government isn't "giving" you anything. The stimulus package is nothing more than an advance on your refund for next year. You will have to claim this money on your tax returns next year.

Exactly right!!!

Also good to remember the govt doesn't have anything to give ,without first taking it from some one else. No such thing hardly as something for nothing. Parasites are exactly THAT: PARASITES!!!They are living off somebody's blood. Poly ticks are many bloodsuckers too. Lots of PARASITES in big govt, they are living off somebody elses blood and sweat.

Thats what I was trying to say with my post. But there are people out there that don't care where it comes from.

It's coming from the extra taxes we're going to be paying next year.
