Obama's New Stimulus

By Outraged
Published/Last Modified on Monday, October 5, 2009 5:08 AM CDT

    Once again our Rookie Dear Leader has a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!! Let's spend more money we don't have!!!!

    Here is a quote he spoke today"We know that reforming our health insurance system will be a critical step in rebuilding our economy,so our entrepreneurs can pursue the american dream again and our small businesses can grow and expand and create new jobs again"!!! 

    First of all Obama started out with his" Health Care Reform" now he calls it "Health Insurance Reform"!!! Which is it Hussein???

    After over 100 speeches he has a new angle!!!After TWO TRILLION DOLLARS it isn't enough!!!

    After nationalizing AIG,CHRYSLER,GENERAL MOTORS,most BANKS,our DEAR LEADER wants to add another CRITICAL STEP so our ENTREPRENEURS can pursue the american dream and small businesses can grow and expand and create new jobs again!!!!

    There is NO MONEY left for building and expanding jobs!!! The NUTS in congress and our ROOKIE PRESIDENT have BLOWN IT ALL!!!!!

    What a joke this is!!! Our national unemployment is 9.8% and growing! That is not accurate because a lots of people aren't reported as unemployed because they have exausted their benefits and are not in the official figures!!!

    It would be funny if it were not such a tragedy!!!

    Nancy Pelosi appears to be almost in tears lately because she can't understand why people are so angry!!! She is TOTALLY out of touch with REALITY!!!!

    Obama lets her write up the legislation and waits to see if the public will accept it, and if they appear to he calls it his bill!!!  

    I don't know what will be left by 2010 but we better replace these NUTS in congress and in 2012 find a competent  leader or our kids and grandkids will never have a future!!!

    " Honestly, I do not care what Obama calls his reform plan, but I call the situation that the US is in NOT HIS FAULT. He has been in office 9 months & b/c there was so much left on his plate, he is dealing with things the best that he can, but b/c he is who he is, he is screwing up. I'd rather $2 trillion that we don't have be spent here than overseas helping restore lives there when we have people here that don't have a pot to p*ss in or a window to throw it out of. "

    " "The Republicans are forced to expand the debt further in order to REBUILD the military..."

    Excerpts from the Cato Institute's policy analysis entitled,'The Grand Old Spending Party:How Republicans Became Big Spenders' which looks at Bush's *first term*.

    "...Even after excluding spending on defense and homeland security,Bush is still the biggest-spending president in 30 years."

    "Since Bush took office domestic spending has shot up by 36%."

    "Under Bush,Congress passed budgets that spent a total of $91 billion more than the president requested for domestic programs.Bush signed every one of those bills in his first term." "

    Every time a Democrat becomes president they take TWO giant steps toward SOCIALISM and when we get a Republican president we take ONE small step back to a Republic!!!
    The Democrats GUT the military's budget and expand ENTITLEMENT programs and add to the long term DEBT!!!
    The Republicans are forced to expand the debt further in order to REBUILD the military but fail to cut ENTITLEMENT programs!!!
    The last time we cut social programs was when a Republican Congress FORCED Clinton to reform WELFARE!!!
    Now OBAMA is restoring more & more of these programs!!!! "

    " To: To Outraged
    Ronald Reagan was left with a military that was GUTTED by Jimmy Carter!!! That's what Obama is doing to the military right now!!!
    Jimmy Carter's fiscal policies left us with 20% interest rates or somewhere around there!
    Ronald Reagan's policies brought down inflation and built up our military which in turn brought down communism in Russia!!!
    He also gave a true stimulus to taxpayers with tax cuts which started up the economy and led to increased growth and revenues which led to prosperity for everyone!!!
    Republican administrations are always left to pay the bill after Democrats leave!!! "

    " to outraged I know it dates me, but I remember a speach by Nikita KHrushchev(for those who don't remember he was the premier of the USSR(Russia) 1958-1964 ) in that speach he commented that thy(communist) would bury us without firing a shot. It was speculated at the time that he meant that communist would take over from within,but we all said it could never happen in America. We might want to rethink that. Anytime the government starts becoming responsible for more and more areas of our lives, thats exactly where we are headed. "

    " I like your "selective" history, but here's an inconvenient fact for you to digest. Under Ronald Reagan, the debt increased from $994,298,000 to $2,867,538,000. In his eight years in office, he TRIPLED the debt. How you can call that "restored financial stability" is beyond me. For all of you Obama bashers, try lookin' up some FACTS once in a while. "

    " MsTee
    Just because people don't agree with Obama's agenda does not mean that they hate him.
    As for giving him a chance, why should we when we know that his policies will destroy the country? If a man kicked in your door in the middle of the night and you perceived that he might do you harm, would you stand idly by to wait to see what he intended to do?
    Bush made many mistakes, but Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are he// bent on destroying the country as we know it.
    Your comments are biased and superficial. "

    Ronald Reagan brought us out of the MESS Jimmy Carter had created and restored financial stability and brought down communism!!!
    Now we have creeping communism coming into our government from the White House and Congress!!!And financial stability is GONE!!!!

(There were four years during his administration when the government actually had a surplus.) How about the elder Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, etc.? These men and Congress have been adding to the deficit for years. How about holding them to the same standard as you crucify Obama and Congress? "

    " We've become lazy in the political process, and the two parties have taken advantage of it. We've given them complete control. We're limited to the buffoons they select for us to choose from.

    People should choose one of the two parties they have the most in common with, then work diligently to support/oppose the issues. This includes supporting/boycotting special interests that influence them. This is the only way that we the people can compete for their attention, against the corporate donors who have "outbid" our voices. Voting third party only makes it cheaper for corporations to buy-off politicians. "

    Cajunator wrote on Oct 10, 2009 7:39 AM:

    " Outraged: I completely agree, there's too much money and power in the two political parties. That's why a third party could never win. All it would do is split the vote and ultimately, one of the two major parties would win anyway. Instead, what Americans need to do is take back control of the two parties by becoming active and demanding that they hear us. The Tea Parties were a prime example of how effective we can be in getting their attention. The Republicans are now paying the price for nominating McCain instead of listening to their constituents.

    What my wife and myself have saved over the years and done without planning for retirement is all for naught because of idiots in Washington who don't know how to live within their means!

    I was unaware that I used wisecracks. A wisecrack sounds more like this: "Congress is spending like a bunch of Frat boys on an outing at Porkeys with dads credit cards!!!," to use a previous post. I have thanked Tom for calmly pointing out valid arguments. I have noticed that people can make a good case without shouting (hence, the exclamation points). Rarely do people listen to someone shouting at them, even if they have a valid point.

    Your point is apparently to slam people. I refuse to do that, and Outraged has valid points. "

Whether people agree on the merits of the latest stimulus spending--and the results are hardly measurable or laudable--it has prevented the economy from growing incredibly worse.

    Still you are correct. That's an incredible increase. Perhaps Congress should rethink its present health care reform. Just a thought. "

    Tom wrote on Oct 5, 2009 4:52 PM:

    " Exclamations.
    You are correct that republicans spent a lot during Bush’s first six years. They increased the national debt by an average of $500 billion dollars each year. When democrats took over they averaged a trillion dollars per year. They added another trillion during Obama’s first 7-8 months in office. Six years under republican control added $3 trillion to our debt. Two years and seven months under democratic control added another $3 trillion.

    Look at all available facts; not just the ones that make you feel good. "
