If government has no money except what they take from individuals and business, and individuals & business need money, why are they taking it from individuals and business to give to individuals and business?

Pure political kickbacks. If they invest in alternative energy and it can only produce 1/4 the energy at double the cost, then the cost of energy will go up. That is anti-stimulus.

Democrats just think they know better where the money should go. They do not trust individuals and business to spend correctly. They must step in and redistributute the money. Since many Democrats are individuals and businesses, why do they not trust themselves to spend it correctly but do trust themselves to spend it correctly? Hmmm.

They must be smarter than everyone else or willing to gamble that they are. Why not, if it works, they are heroes and the political landscape is changed forever. If it doesn’t work, they will be able to blame Bush and will not be held responsible. The people voted to let them. What a position to be in. Who cares about the future generations. Instead of Lets roll, the new motto is Lets roll the dice!

The page times out whenever I try to submit my addition to the petition. Heavy traffic perhaps?

All I know is that dingy Harry wanted this on Friday, then Sunday, and now its tomorrow. All I can hope is that the delay means that he isn’t sure he has the votes.

I enjoy seeing the Obama honeymoon end, but $1 trillion is a bit of a high price to pay.

Do any of these idiots ever look at just how much principal these sub-prime borrowers have actually paid? It is my guess that they own very little of the house they are living in. The banks own these houses and the borrowers are in actuality…..renters

Speaking of renters, not everyone can or should have a house. I have relatives who moved back to Minnesota from living in Florida for a couple years. This couple immediately bought a huge house in the suburbs. It was a house I only can dream of living in. She was unemployed and he was in securities. He lost his job. Then got another. But they were living way beyond their means. It turns out they were foreclosed and had to move into an apartment. They are actually very happy there and realize what they did wrong. They are comfortable, and will not be trying to buy another house until they can well afford it.
