This is a joke I'm a black man and I still think it is a joke what does 400 dollars do for anyone a year if he really wanted to help he should stop making people pay taxes for a year or two then that 400 turns into 4000 now thats a better tax break no taxes at all taken out of your checks tell me you couldn't use 4000 dollars a year

Did you notice they put in $30 Million for Pelosi's mouse yet not a dime for the VA and veterans benefits?

Veterans must not be a large enough voter base for the demorats.

Lets give the people who are not trying to get a job an extra $12.00 in thier unemployment checks! What about the little person who still works at the local Wal-Mart or McDonalds struggling to make ends meet with only an extra $13.00 every paycheck.Way to Gov't screw the person who is trying to better themselves!!

This is not going to do a thing for the people like me on Social Security disibility or just on Social Security again it is not going to the people that need help.
As far as the other people that are getting $13.00 and just how far is that going to go lol, not far at all might as well give us nothing.

Seen this coming!!!
All I can say is I am preparing for the end, it is coming sooner then everyone thinks.
And they want my sons to volunteer for the military. I tell mt sons hell no when the government is practically abandoning the country by allowing this to happen.

I cant belive how the people in GR are getting screwed by this crap! If we figure there are about 303,000,000 million people in this country we all owe about $2500 in taxes from this bill. Now if the figures are correct that GR is getting $4,000,000 that means out of the $2500 we all put in we are getting $20 back!! What sort of B.S. is that?!?! What a wonderful investment!!!

Spending Frenzy, Part IV

Like I said, we’ve seen this kind of high stakes, big spending, big government and big bureaucracy gambling before. This isn’t the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Spending Frenzy , this is the Bush-Obama Spending Frenzy, Part IV.

The first three parts of the Bush-Obama Spending Frenzy were on President Bush’s watch.

The $180 billion stimulus program in the spring of 2008 failed.

The $345 billion housing bailout from the summer of 2008 failed.

And the $700 billion Wall Street bailout from the fall of 2008 failed.

All told, just last year, Washington wagered $1.2 trillion in spending and lost. And like a problem gambler, Washington isn’t walking away from the casino, it’s doubling down.

I am disapointed in the stimulus plan. Obama should have made it like last year where us PEOPLE actually get it. The way it is now sucks. How is that going to guarentee that these jobs are going to hire us. I ahve been looking for a job everywhere and no one will hire me because I had to take my last employer to court for stealing my money. Now I cant get a job. I feel alittle let down by Obama because I voted for him because he said he would get us the PEOPLE another Stimulus check NOT the PROJECTS
I am a mother of two and counted on him and he let me down.
