In a mockery of the 'much needed' stimulus bill, here is a game for every American; since every one of them will be paying for it.

Defend the stimulus package from its obvious fallacies.

Round One:

Is this good spending? Is it helping the economy?

Those things listed sound like everyday normal (*)(*)(*)(*) that governments around the world blow our money on. The same thing happens in the UK for sure.

Then it shouldn't be boasted as "saving the economy" but as garbage.

my only problem with the stimulus was that it was not throughly examined to eliminate programs that were not designed to stimulate anything. too much pork made it into a bill that should have been above politics as usual.

but the majority of the bill was fine with me. folks that point out those parts that seem to do nothing to stimulate the economy are right to do so. but those that point out those parts and then say "the whole bill was a bad idea" are wrong. imho.

the bill wasn't perfect, but hopefully it was good enough. we will still have to wait and see if it was really worth it.

A portion of the stimulus is the most pretentious waste of taxpayers money. The stimulus was passed and designed to put money into people's pockets right NOW and create jobs right NOW. It's reported that the states have received roughly 10 percent of the entire stimulus money yet unemployment continued to skyrocket in many states after the "spendulus" was signed back in January. The notion that some Liberals actually believe the stimulus is working is quite absurd. Housing foreclosures up 7 percent in July and the value of the American dollar steadily declining. Over 2.8 million jobs lost and counting since Obama took office, it's no mystery his approval ratings continue to drop like Wal-Mart pricing.

if everyone followed the bible and the christian principals we wouldnt have to spend money on any of these things
i realize that i am being romantic in these thoughts but as thomas jefferson said
whether or not u belive in christ if u follow the teachings set forth in the bible ur charcter can only benifit

Was it? Why is that?

I happen to think the entire thing was nothing more than one big pay-off.

Immediately after the 2010 elections, the so-called stimulus will be repealed.

Alright then. The whole bill was a bad idea, regardless of the relative worth of any part.


No we don't. Reasoned and logical conclusions inform us that prosperity cannot be achieved by creating more debt to alleviate the problems created by too much debt.
