We are pouring trillions into this already.

Geithner about 1.3 trillion, this package is predicted to be over 1.3 trillion by the time it's done.
My biggest concern is that the police and homeland security budgets are nowhere near what they should be. Jobs won't begin to take shape until the end of 2009-2010 and even 2011, but you can bet your booty that the federal spending programs for government jobs will start immediately.
See the link for projected budgets.

Well, I believe Obama was pouring his
his Kool-Aid in PA this morning in 3 different speeches, I was watching one of them. Sometimes, just for a few laughs, a watch MSNBC to see them laugh at John and Sarah so I can get a good laugh for the day. Well, that is where I was watching. Now I did not have the DVR on, so I cannot provide a copy of it. However, maybe I can contact my local Repub office and get a copy, since they planted the fella there. Shoot, I should have known that to begin with. You know, we old senile grandmas get like that, I don't why they let us vote anyway.
I remember my mother walking in the pouring rain
vote for JFK. Ended up that the election was very close, and she was so happy she decided to brave the rain to vote. I feel the same way this election. It is so important, the most important election EVER. Y'all get out to vote!! No matter what; rain, hail, sleet, snow, hurricane, avalanche, VOTE!
Nope - who's been pouring the Kool--Aid for the past 8 years?
Better to be right than look stoopid. If you check other posts, you will REMEMBER why the pub faithful were accused of drinking the Kool-Aid.......
While analyzing all those trillions, did you
that tiny little reference to the FDIC? Got any idea what that is? Since you are so into research, I wouldn't dare think of spoiling it for you by trying to break it down, but here's a hint. The bulk of the funds that article is discussing has absolutely nothing to do with the stimulus plan as it stands now. I'll give you another hint. If they take the FDIC funds and pay off 90% of all mortgages in the country, the run it would cause on the banks would make 1929 look like a Sunday picnic. Get back to us after you figure out that FDIC thingy.
millions/trillions/gazillions
Anyone notice that media and politicians are having trouble reciting all these bucks in their proper denomination? I hear media people say billions when they really mean millions, or whatever, and Nancy Pelosi said we were losing 500 million jobs every month! I think she may have meant 500 thousand, but don't really know. It's like money has become such an illusion that we cannot even fathom any of it anymore.
And why were you not screaming about the trillions being spent in Iraq????nm
