8 Years of Bush = 900 Billion spent.

6 Months of BO = 12 Trillion.

Do you know how many Billions go into 12 Trillion?

Pilfering? Reckless?

Is this a joke?

How stupid. Our President is trying to solve the horrible Health Care nightmare. The insurance companies have no business bilking people out of billions of dollars that should be going to doctors and hospitals. If the insurance companies were not siphoning this money, the costs would be multiples lower than they are. I'm going to say that the lower your education level is, the less intelligent, the more conservative, the more apt to believe BS you are.

In all actuality, I think real change would be flipping another coin. The same old head/tails Democrat/Republican nonsense will never really change anything. Look up the Libertarian Party!

The following letter, read on Glenn Beck's show, is rapidly circulating
around the country. Americans everywhere identify with this 53-year-old
woman. She has given us a voice. Once you read this, you will want to
forward it to all of your friends...

GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona . She writes an open
letter to our nation's leadership:

"I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life.
Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I
no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue
issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents
my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer
feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views
or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please
tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that
you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand
up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues a re that I would
horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind
of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and
secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the
trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done
that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with
legal immigration.

Two, the STIMULUS bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding
supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining
unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped
immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to
the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and
honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more
to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive
decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and
then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully
restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind
your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real
obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010
census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees
contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop
the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and
investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our
taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the
allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more
involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello.
Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people.
Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is
mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because
they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will
support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my
employers? Why -- what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor
person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local
communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and
our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If
there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and
letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a
Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great
hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than
you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about
it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some
straight honest talk. Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to
appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me
for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your
friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop
hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input
from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an
emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am
not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent
person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am
busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of
the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay
our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our
hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the
weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our
children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of
the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks
and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are
very far o ff course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a
speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed
into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the
responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not
laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust
me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but
you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid
on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We
would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such
urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

People were loosing confidence when the Democratic party and Obama was gaining steam in the elections. People were pulling their money form the markets as their popularity increased. For the week McCain gained some lead, when everyone was talking about Obama's terrorist, radical, and people like his close advisers making millions form the banks as they ran them in the ground,...people thought maybe he would not win. Markets begain climbing again and people started putting their money back in.

This was short lived as everyone got the Michael Jackson school girl love with Obama and his popularity grew again. People with money fled the market.

And now the government has been investing in the stock market to re-inflate it.

Were Fiicked! No one with money is going to back Obama or this country!

I agree with you about the insurance companies...so let's create an insuarnce reform...not a overall health care reform.

This president is spending America into bankruptcy and in record time.
He is destroying the basic fudamentals of our nation...and replacing them with gov. run industries, gov. run health care, gov. regulated energy use, and so on and so on.

I also agree, it shouldn'e be heads or tails, dem. or rep,...it should be straight or crooked...
So get the facts straight and stop believing his crooked ass.

The only joke I see is your post. Bush spent only 900 billion? LOL, you are either real stupid or lying through your dentures. Which is it? For anyone who wants to learn the truth, check the link below to see the REAL numbers. Add in the dates of 1/20/2001 thru 1/20/2009 to see how much Bush really spent.

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin...

When Bush took office the national debt was at 5.7 Trillion. When he left the debt was at 10.6 Trillion. This was an increase of almost 5 Trillion! This was the largest debt increase ever. Also, he passed the largest govt entitlement program in Medicare D without any plans to pay for it. This will cost taxpayers about 800 billion in the first decade alone and guess what? This entitlement program NEVER stops and will only get bigger as more and more people age and drugs become more expensive. This is one of the most shadiest backdoor deals the feds ever made and the only winner is the private drug companies. BTW, you said Bush only spent 900 billion? Please .. We probably already spent that in Iraq alone and Bush never bothered to add in the cost of the Iraq War into our annual budget but instead added as an addendum to make the deficit look smaller. All this and I remember NOT one damn fiscal conservative ever mentioning anything about this or any protest for excess spending. You conservatards are as genuine as a handbag made in China.
