Yup, we're giving those poor people so damned much money that Wall Street is collapsing, the banks are all broke, and armageddon is upon us. I just stared at him for a second or two, turned around, and asked the guy behind me to switch seats.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-25206736607913621932009-02-22T02:38:00.000-08:002009-02-22T02:38:00.000-08:00there was an interesting provision in the bill.......there was an interesting provision in the bill..... that the fucking governors like Sanford ALL KNOW<BR/><BR/>If funds provided to any state in any division of this act are not accepted for use by the governor, then acceptance by the state legislature, by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, shall be sufficient to provide funding to such state. <BR/><BR/>so they think they it both ways<BR/><BR/>gawd, i hate the republican partyDistributorcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149154929149577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-41485833373827393192009-02-20T16:02:00.000-08:002009-02-20T16:02:00.000-08:00Didn't Crist break ranks and support Obama for pre...Didn't Crist break ranks and support Obama for prez? Now he's supporting the stimulus and calling bullshit on Republican governors grandstanding against the bill? I wonder if he's had his "come to Jesus" moment, or if he's just planning to jump ship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-38825982072988352662009-02-20T14:39:00.000-08:002009-02-20T14:39:00.000-08:00Most of the Republican governors are begging the S...Most of the Republican governors are begging the Senators and House members who have not supported the economic stimulus to reconsider. I hope there are enough smart people in South Carolina to send Sanford out on his ass next election. <BR/><BR/>I have to wonder if anybody out there in the blogosphere who's ripping on the package have actually looked it over.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-24644869220225542732009-02-20T10:54:00.000-08:002009-02-20T10:54:00.000-08:00With the dumbing down of America for the last eigh...With the dumbing down of America for the last eight years, it does not surprise me that the word "socialism" is bantered about without an iota of understanding what socialism is. It's much the same with the word "liberal". Repubs use it to infer communist, which is, of course, asinine.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-31996402509168881282009-02-20T09:07:00.000-08:002009-02-20T09:07:00.000-08:00Consevatives in the GOP just don't get it.

Their mytholgy upholds the sacred cows articulated by Reagan,of blind obeisance to the market, dogmatic faith in tax cuts, and knee-jerk hatred of government. They can't face up to the fact that their ideas have failed.<BR/><BR/>The market people got us into this mess due to unregulated greed. Tax cuts for the wealthy gave us distructive income disparity. And government hatred discourages taking action and being a force of social justice. It seems to me Obama was elected because enough people saw the facts that the GOP can't manage the country using these dogmas.<BR/><BR/>Our government has a vital role to play. FDR laid a foundation of programs to provide a social safety net that people now take for granted. How could we manage today without assurances of Social Security, Federal insurance on bank deposits, and unemployement insurance to name a few.<BR/><BR/>While true that just before WWII, unemployment still was a problem. It was only the huge deficit spending necessary to conduct the war that finally brought about economic recovery and full employment. So if anything, FDR's social recovery programs didn't go far enough.Dad Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844231409201782748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-5896884334830648932009-02-20T09:01:00.000-08:002009-02-20T09:01:00.000-08:00I don't listen to the republicans....all thier wor...I don't listen to the republicans....all thier words are loud because they want to bully...that is it in a nut shell.....they bullyCheer34https://www.blogger.com/profile/14932035995477093530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-41858080577391873332009-02-19T22:22:00.000-08:002009-02-19T22:22:00.000-08:00Ah, well said.
