Oh just friggin' priceless.

I am so sick of all of this, tired of commenting about it too...I'll just read others for now, I have posted enough about the subject for days...I am just sick of the BS...all of it.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

They are speaking here as if they were "dumb blonds" asked how they can afford the shopping spree they just went on. "Oh, don't worry", they reply, "the credit card pays for it all. It's free money. Tee hee".

Appologies to all you blonds out there. The stereotype should be changed to CBS employees.

Their plan is called communism and the Soviet Union proved that it is unsustainable and eventually collapses.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

These libs are in for a rude awakening when they discover how government regulations and permitting processes delay the start of their public works projects. The Lord Most High Barack Obama could suspend those regs, but he would alienate of his many consitituencies if he did it.

I used to be in that business. It's danged difficult to get a road built using federal funds. I helped research and write environmental impact statements and Memoranda of Agreements (MOA's) on these projects. There's a highway project near my house -- widening an existing federal highway while just acquiring strips of additional right-of-way. I worked on the project in 2000, and they just started construction this fall.

There's other projects on which I worked that are still not off the ground. One such project has cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars, and they are still studying the preliminaries. It's my state's version of "The Big Dig."

The only people who will benefit from this are consultants and attorneys. Obama's plans are either naive or a sham. I can't decide if Obama is a fool, a flake, or the best confidence man in the history of the world.

I know one thing. I'm going to get back in the consulting business if Barry starts pushing the money out there without suspending the regulations. Construction workers will be defecating in their helmets waiting to build this stuff, and I'll be on the way to the bank. Wait! I'll sew that stuff in my mattress.

SUCKERS!!

$500 billion stimulus package being proposed is just trickle down economics, notice who get's the primary benefit of the money?  The unions.  In other words Quid Pro Quo for their financial support in getting Obama elected, how provincal of you...  Just like the Quid Pro Quo to the environmental lobby, you now will mandate so called "green initiatives" as payback for their financial support of your election.  Bailouts for the auto companies which is a Quid Pro Quo financial payback for the millions of campaign dollars contributed from the management and unions.  What a bunch of CROOKS!  The same old Chicago politics, and why should we be surprised?  Tony Rezko and your buddies at TUC (gazebo for a park) all financially benefited after supporting Obama for election on the State level.

Hey morons instead of confiscating (tax) or borrowing $500 billion which siphons money away from the private sector which would have created jobs (net positive taxpayers) if you didn't take the money, why not cut taxes by that amount to increase the amount of investment available?  Oh that's right, you would have to cut $500 billion of government spending and that would slash your vote buying scams giving you credit for doing something even if it is destructive or debilatating. There is nothing like the self serving interest of a politician that insists upon credit for name recognition sake and screams and obstructs if something is done that doesn't get them any.

There is an alternative, unleash the oil and gas companies for domestic drilling, there is NO COST to the Treasury, in fact, it would RAISE revenue via taxes and royalties, it would spur manufacturing, create jobs (net positive taxpayers) AND it would improve the balance of trade keeping more money here for continued investment in the economy.  Of course all this makes way too much sense and libs can't stand the thought that the evil oil companies are more important to our economy than government boondoggles.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.

The perfect medium to reach the Obama voter..

Which makes more sense ONE gov't creating  construction jobs with tax payer money or thousands of businesses across all sectors being stimulated with tax cuts to offer jobs of ALL types.  

Mind boggling stupidity or smart socialist, more likely a smart socialist.

Everyone says this crisis is helping bring about change, I say with media types like Harry who needs a crisis. 

I'm not sure just whom the targeted audience is with the cartoon. Maybe the 18 year old newly registered dems? Maybe lower?

Anyways, without a doubt some of the infrastructure needs updating. Old bridges, the electrical grid, ect. But this doesn't require a massive campaign to do it. We are not laying new highways out west. Or taming rivers with damns. The projects that need work are already in use. So, essentially Obama is sensationalizing what government plans to do all along. This is not anything new. This is not even news.

This is nothing! Not news, not even economics 101.

Free money? No such thing! We pay it all back with interests.
There IS NO short term solution. Not even opening up oil will immediately make a difference. For the oil still needs to be located and drilled. Expenses before gains.

Our best solution would be to tariff the regulate the incoming products from China and Mexico. To find some way of regaining our manufacturing industry. Manufacturing is the life blood of any developed nation. Close the free trade agreements for they only benefit China, Mexico, ect.

If the government really wanted to help they wouldn't have made it so easy to send our jobs away. The government also would have given more tax breaks to manufacturers. Promoted reasons to keep jobs in the country.

Manufacturing is key. Our changing economy needs to regain that industry. We cannot go to a service oriented dominated industry for there is no money going into american manufacturing and supply. Paying some bloke minimum wage at Wal-mart doesn't replace the buying power of a 10.00 an hour factory worker. The factory also needs raw material to make the products. We have the raw material right here in the usa. That would churn our economic engines once more. 

Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

 But from the Big O, Media goes out of it's way to sell every little plan he's set forth, or helps sweep it down the Memory Hole if they can't sell it. No one in the Media made multimedia presentations to help explain *anything* Bush wanted to pass, for good or ill.

Whatever happened to the whole "we're Media, it's our job to be Watchdogs and criticise *everything* the government does!"? now it's "accept and sell" instead.

Bias? No? Reeeaaally....

"to call an illegal immigrant an "undocumented alien" is the same as calling a streetcorner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

"You spend your money anyway you want and respect other's rights to do the same"

... jeez, do I despise Harriet Smith.

He's Chris Matthews, but without any core beliefs. 

I'm sure all of those people out of work who used to work in banks, on Wall Street, and those who used to have manufacturing jobs will just love to get out there and help build some new bridges.

Hey, maybe those retirees who are looking for some extra income can get out there and operate some heavy equipment. 

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
