Obama's stimulus plan
 

is giving $500 each to a country consisting of 95% idiots really going to help the economy in the long run? they're not smart enough to spend it wisely, or save it for a cushion so they don't default on existing debts...

that's like giving an african village some school books.

Ya. Or building them a well. Or giving them rice.

I never like these dumb ass stimulus plans.. the money would do the country better if they used it to pay off the national debit.

i wonder if there will be military cuts

It'll go to a car payment. Yay, crisis averted.

WTF, how do you get this check? i never got mine from the last stimulus round of payments, so Im adding that as a tax write off this year... plus interest that i have charged equal to 34.99% :1orglaugh

Its a band aid like all the other stimulus plans.
Won't fix the underlying issue, fear.

People are scared. People are losing their jobs.

Its an opportunity to setup the USA for better times via government directed advances in Energy production, conservation, etc etc.. Stopping the plague of outsourcing will keep more of the money at home.

Lots of ways to generate jobs, GDP, and income for people. Stimulus won't do anything.

Who's next with this "stimulus" ? Hollywood ?

Hollywood will become Bollywood :

Last I heard it was not going to be a actual check but a deduction in one of the payroll taxes or something so that the money gets into circulation quickly and without a crap load of assorted costs. Also thought there was going to be a wide assortment of tax credits and savings for small businesses along with many public projects and the supposed creation of 3 million jobs.

I typically hate government spending so this is a tough one for me. I like the idea of easing up on the small business and well I have always bitched that our infrastructure needs a major fucking overhaul similar to when we did most of Americas freeways the first time. Not to mention I also wanted to see more damns and other public works projects started. So I am really torn.

wow.. King Obama gonna save the world with a grand whopping extra $9.61 per week per person :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Oh yeah.. that's really gonna help :1orglaugh

Yes spacedog we all know your thoughts.

Printing more money won't solve a thing. The government needs to stop spending so much.

This does nothing but add more debt to a private group of bankers. The same bankers that control the Federal Reserve and the same ones who got bailed out from their CDS scheme. Hopefully people will realize this before it's too late.

exactly... they SPEND it on crap, MAY THEY BUY PORN!

its not to help people, its to help business. :2 cents:

but shhh don't tell the middle class or they might hold onto the dough. :1orglaugh

Obama only gives $500? Fuck him.

Bush gave me $600!

i would like i can get some :)

We'll see how it goes. Im willing to give the guy a shot without shouting him down. I don't want him to fail, why would anyone want a pres to fail? It hurts our country if he does.

500 will make a short but nice night in a strip club.

well, at least it's nice when governments give little symbolic presents like that... our government's present was to raise the tax on gas so that a gallon now costs $6.40 USD...
Would you have preferred that? :1orglaugh

Stimulus my ass. Waste of money.

why would they do that again? the last stimulus checks were barely used

i do like the idea of it being in the form of a deduction

Why watch the news when you can find all the economic experts all in one thread. LOL

Same thing can be said about the banks and auto industry though right?

I'm a simple white boy and even I can tell you that's not gonna work. With all the minds he has available to him, THAT is the best they can come up with?

We're FUCKED if this is the best our new black knight can come up with.

I shall use that money for buying up blogs
