   Well here in NY the blind Governor took away our STAR rebate checks so that cost me almost $1000. After the $13 a week I am STILL in the red.

   What strikes me about the “Stimulus” is this: The cause of this recession was that people went on a spending binge, and ran up unsustainable amounts of debt to support it. Obama’s proposed solution is… running up unsustainable debt to support a spending binge.

   He’s not fixing the problem, he’s digging a deeper hole.

   And all his mindless followers can do is cheerlead because they’re side is “winning.”

   Hmm. I thought the Obamie payroll rebate was $500 per person / per one year (or is it permanent?) who works for a living.

   Anyhow $500 would be $9.61 / week.

    Ah but this debt is government debt, paid by tax payers, instead of private debt paid by individual tax payers. Wait a minute that’s the same people. So workers will get a tax break of 9.61/wk only to have to pay it back with interest in the future. Yeah that’s the ticket.

    So what about older people who are on social security?

    Oh that’s right, their meds will be cut off, so they should just go off & die. I’ll tell my mother.

    Well, personally, I’m more concerned about exactly who paid for her Jason Wu dresses and make over for her Vogue magazine spread…I’m sure the dress she’s wearing on the cover runs a couple thousand, at least. Add hair and makeup…Who paid for all this? Was it returned to the designer? Will the stimulus cover it?

    my brother and i had both decided a few days ago when the crap sandwich contained 15k tax credit if you buya house and 15hundred tax credit if you buy a new car that between the two of us, we would buy 3 houses, 2 in kansas city area and 1 in fla. and 2 new cars. my brother has a daughter attending college in mo. but is scheduled to attend medical school next year in kansas, and she’s a legal citizen, so the difference between in state and out of state tuition is over 20k. this on top of the tax break was a big incentive for him. he also wanted to replace his wife’s aging gas guzzler. i wanted to buy my daughter a nicer home with a bigger yard for her child, and keep her home for my wife and i to stay in when we visit. but no, the politicians want to stimulate union laborers to dig new zoo attractions for our endangered polar bears and build schools in cities where enrollment is declining. you gotta love rational thinking.

    Do you really want to know that your taxes went to give 8 million Henrietta Hughes’ $100k?

    Cheapseat, my wife is an aging guzzler. Would I get a tax break if I replaced her?

    We’re getting all this pork ’cause we bought a pig in a poke in the last election.

    AZ #23 – THAT WAS SO FUNNY!

    Really, what can we conservatives do? I am thinking about taking my cash (such as it is…) out of my credit union and hoarding it in my house. The media is definitely scaring average Americans into believing we’re about to face inflation of 1,000% overnight, so bread will cost $100 a loaf.

    Am I the only one who clicked on the link to Kanjorski spilling the beans on the bank run this past January that nobody in Congress would talk about? The Anchoress provided a link to this video that HotAir used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NMu1mFao3w

    This is truly scary. Who’s pulling the strings? Why?

    I forgot to mention that the real meat of this story starts at about the 2:10 through the 3:50 mark and then at about 5:45 to the end. He even admits that he and his fellow congress-critters are not bright enough to handle this situation.

    Why do you think she was so happy when her hubby announced Smirky as his running mate?

    We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.”
