How about the USA being run by Lobbyist and greedy corparations the last 8 years with no one at the switch, Just the decision to go into Iraq when fighting a war in afganastan look what it has cost us in blood and treasure and having the whole world behind us after 9/11 . give corparation tax breaks so they can employ more workers capalist system yea right give them tax breaks they get rich with our tax dollars then they go over seas and employ cheap lobor and leave . just ask many of the people who were experiencing it years ago. we need some one to lead us with foresight and wisdom and intelect in the 21st century not the same old politacal games of the past. Now is the time when the USA needs to unite like we did on 9/11 and become a nation to lead the world agian we owe it to the brave milatary heroes who have paid the altimate price for this country.

Show me who got the CHECK, HOW MUCH and WHEN it was transferred.
Each State or Department should then show on a WEB SITE how it spends the money!
We should be able to track it to the user!!!

I agree with you all. How did we let this happen? How can we stop it? I'm just sick about the future of our country.

Everyone's heard over and over the 70% of the economy is the consumer. How would we all have felt if we knew NO FEDERAL TAXES would be collected from payrolls from anyone earning less than $100,000 for 6 months? Followed by 6 months at 50% collected. No penalties. No interest. No "pay later" clause. That would have been MY stimulus package. No act of Congress. No pork. No bigger gov't. No slimy politician, crony, lobbyist or gov't employee or bureaucrat getting their hands on one single penny. All "spending" in the hands of the American people who I trust, by default, would spend it on what it "needs" while doing nothing but strengthening the industries/companies which DESERVE a bail out based on the quality, utility and necessity/desire of their product. In one year we would be on our way to REAL recovery without leaving a staggering debt to our grandchildren and without all so many "chosen" ones with their pockets stuffed with our money. You got a problem with that? I'd like to hear about it with a sensible reason why.

Obama has turned out to be a bigger disappointment that I dreamed!

Once our country is totally bankrupt and beyond hope, then the 'full nelson' will be applied. The government will own us and no one will be strong enough to fight back.

"Protecting the Vulnerable" was probably Princess Pelosi's and Scary Harry's way of keeping money in there for Obama's ACORN.

The past two years, I have received a raise on my social securiy check, only to have
an adjustment to medicare, which has lowered my check to les than it was.
Please no more raises. I can't find anything in the stimulus plan to help senior citizens.
What about us??

I worked for 30+ yrs., got disabled and am no longer able to work. I live off a ss check and medicare. I see no help for people like me in this crap but see plenty for people who have never worked, paid taxes or are not supposed to be in the US in the first place. My daughter got it right when she said " We are in deep dodo now" .

Love the commentary.
How do you spell Tax relief? How about giving each TAXPAYER under $100,000 a $10,000 stimulus check? Then s/he can pay off back mortgage payments, put a downy on a house, pay on credit card debt, or survive a layoff, maybe even buy a car or major appliance. That would take care of the banks and credit card companies and "free" the taxpayer.
Oh, right. I forgot that we are too stupid to figure out how to use the money correctly.
How about congressmen stop voting themselves payraises and perks, start paying taxes and social security, go to jail for breaking the law, get no "overdraft protection", and live on a budget? Better yet, why don't we vote them all out of office and start new?
And no payment for not working after losing an election. Since they pay no SS or federal employment, they shouldn't get more when they retire either. Term limits for legislators sounds good to me.

I knew we were in trouble years ago, when I had a business, and I had to pay an ESTIMATED EARNING TAX before I even earned it. I was not a fortune teller, and under estimated, therefore I was penilized for guessing wrong and had to pay a surcharge.

It seems "Transparency" is the new buzz tern of the media and government, and I for one agree with them: Every law, claim, promise, and utterance from the bureaucrats and press is so TRANSPARENT that it's impossible to determine what it means or its effect. And the term may also apply to the character of the speakers as well.

As Rush says, everything BHO says has a lifetime or expiration date. I would guess that to be about 30 seconds, except for his one statement yesterday: "This is the beginning of the end." That one's going to be oh so true!!!
