So what da~ya think?
 

Is The Obama thing gonna stick?

I'm not too sure about BIGGER gov'mt.

the stimulus thing makes sense - there's already anticipation in my area for funds that's creating an expectation of increased business. so how much stimulus is enough? who the fuck knows?

on a related subject, the banking system appears to be hanging by a thread. all last fall, the problem was presented as a lack of available credit...now, it seems obvious that many of these banks (B of A, for one) are basically insolvent. i don't see how anyone's gonna save them.

edit: this is nationalized citibank

The stimulus makes if you work in government or the public sector because the money will stimulate government growth and government jobs. It won't stimulate growth for those who don't work in government. It'll do little to stimulate the economy as far as getting people to spend because jobs are still going away. Once the states get their money, they'll pay down debt with it but will still be left with a huge debt because the next generations are gonna be stuck with the tab anyway.

His home stimulus gives money to those who bought houses and took out mortgages they had no business taking on so those who live in smaller homes that took on mortgages they can afford now has to shell out money to pay the mortgages of those who bought the MacMansions they couldn't afford in the first place.

What about refinancing those families who do pay their mortgages on time so that they can afford to send their kids to college.


The hard working middle class who tried to live within their means are once again screwed because they can pay their bills. Of course if they lose their jobs, then that will be a problem but there will be no help for them.


At the same time, corporate greed at the top has damaged numerous corporations over the years and while they got their golden parachutes and bail out of their company the workers are left with shrinking pensions and job losses.

Plenty of blame to go around.

I will give Obama credit in that he promised change and he is delivering.

au contraire, mon frer........when my state starts work on newly-funded infrastructure projects, that creates all kinds of work for local construction companies, architects, supply companies, realtors, engineers etc ect etc - because a lot of this stuff gets contracted and subcontracted out to the private sector. when my city hires 20 new cops because they just got a million in stimulus funding, a lot of that million will ripple through the local economy as 20 new cops go out and spend thier paychecks. of course, whether it will be sufficient stimulus is another matter entirely. your actual mileage may vary :W:
you must mean the Axis of Weasels

silly people ....


:pflag: :pflag:

stimulus yourself
 

If you're already buried under huge debts just borrow a lot more and throw a big party.


That'll make it alllllll better, yup. :tu:

well it seems to make ones on the dole happy.

The fuhrer over corporate conduct.


Reminds me of how Hitler started out with the jews.

The government might have to make them wear a special patch or something so they can be identified.

stop being so paranoid grasshopper. internal aig fud memos notwithstanding, such uncouth behavior bespeaks poor breeding and is rarely tolerated in the rarified air of the fairfield county exurbs, where even my befuddled conservative neighbors are tentatively taking to the streets.

during one protest outside the homes of several top aig executives, activists were not only unfailingly civil, they were planning on thanking the bastards:

but wait, it gets better:

hitler and the jews? as if. adolf would be rolling over in his grave.

Obama wasn't actually bowing to king abdullah;



the Saudi king was expected to turn around so Obama could kiss his ass.

It's a skill letting chit slide up U're pucker part,

and I suggest U get Uus to it.

did a member of the House Intelligence Committee get wiretapped by the Bushies, get caught cutting a deal for the Chairmanship, and then enter into some kind of a deal to keep it quiet, which then enabled said Bushies to continue illegally wiretapping? i think i'm gonna overdose on the irony of it all: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archi...1/1901071.aspx

Obama's jumbo jet terrorizes new yorkers as it flies around the city at low altitude.

How dare those wasteful auto execs fly personal jets to DC!!! Obama shows them how to splurge the right way with three government aircraft to take his wife out on a date at taxpayer expense.

Almost makes me miss Clinton, all he needed to get laid was some sweet talk and an old cigar.

Socialist! Communist! Extravigist!!! THE NERVE OF THE GUY! HOW DARE HE!!!!!!1112

Oh, wait a second. I seem to remember someone else doing something like this. Hmm, who was it.....

Wow! 997 days. Almost 3 years of his 8 years in office..NOT IN OFFICE! AND AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE! Even if you round down in a major way, that's 1/4 of his time 'in office' spend fucking around at home. The very same home where he got reports that Al Qaeda was planning to attack America by flying planes into buildings AND DID NOTHING ABOUT, and so the case that he was still 'working' while there hardly holds water.

So, about $226,000 (minimum!) for each of his 77 trips to Crawford TX. That's the estimated cost of flying Air Force One round trip - about two hours of flight time each way - at $56,518 per hour. It doesn't count security costs or his pay for being home rather an 'on the job'. And there's no telling how much his time at Camp David cost.

Where was your moral outrage then? Hmm?

Blow it out your ass, hypocrite! :BL:
