That stimulus package is doing a bang up job...

Jobless claims rise 18,000!!! and we was promised that unemployment would NOT rise above 8% IF this package was passed?

it seems to me that we should have taken a page out of the history books and mimic what Mr. Reagan did....and that was CUT TAXES, to stimulate the economy...............but it seems as if we are now doing the exact opposite.

But Henry the immediate economic turn around from the health care package being passed will be kicking in any time now and those 700 who lost jobs in Muncie at Sally Mae because of the government taking over student loans will be able to find jobs real quick to replace them.

Speaking of health care...I would like to have it.    I was on medicaid until March 31st.  Then they took it away from me because I don't have any children under 16 living with me any longer.  Never mind the 18 year old that is still in high school and relies on me to support her, somehow.

  Henry, I wouldn't believe a word you  and your twin has to say.  You could have your tongues notarized and I still wouldn't believe a word you guys say.  All you do is talk the Fox News Channel.   The Republicans talking points.  Which is Bs, Bs, Bs and more Bs.

  We got two George W. wars were fighting and you want to cut taxed.  The word Brainless doesn't cover you guys.   The Troll.

tell me what is not to believe here?  the 18,000 lost jobs?......seriously Toll meister, what don't you understand with my statement....there is NOTHING I said that is not true....I will be waiting.

[Palehorse]

Surely you are not solely saddling the POTUS with those 18,000 jobs lost?

There were a lot more things that have driven that other than a health care initiative; like the economy for instance. And we all know what is to blame for that fine mess now don't we?

And excuse me but I sure don't believe for one instance that any tax cuts would have achieved anything other than letting those with all the money keep a little bit more of it. Us working class stiffs would still be in this mess and paying taxes on unemployment INSURANCE we paid for with our blood, sweat, and tears. . .

What about the 8 million that was lost under George W. through deregulation the Republican stock market bubble burst.  Damn it you old buzzard, you always forget about George W..  Is your whole life just one BIG BRAIN FART.

  George W. leaves office, shitting all over this country making the most ungodly stinking mess and you expect Obama to clean it up in 6 months.  Buzzard even you with the help of your God couldn't clean up this F*#king stinking mess, your foricating Republican Party has created. :yes:But I still love you. Oh yes, about you spelling what is "meister"

The word Meister originally means "master" in German. . .

NO, but I am making a point about Pelosi, the Potus and the dems who was jiggy with spending a trillion dollars and proclaiming THAT if we didn't spend this money, we was doomed...and if we did, unemployement would not exceed 8%...and it has blown WAY past that and not getting any better and it has been a year later....

and YES, tax cuts for small business' and individuals would have absolutly stimulated the economy....instead of letting folks go, they could have hung on to them...

   Henry, post after post after post you have said how f*#king poor you are.  Poor as a church mouse.  Going to a church that is tax free, that lives off of the other tax payers that don't do a damn thing for us.

   With the small amount of tax you pay on that small amount of money you make.  Wouldn't buy a Happy Meal at McDonald's.

So in other words, there is zero margin for error, and your automatic assumption is that congress done nothing everything would be a lot better right now?

That's because you are uninformed.  Taxes have gone down for 95% of working families since this administration took office.

And that my friend is unreasonable as hell IMHO. Had nothing been done this country would have collapsed financially, and socially, back into a two class system that serves only to oppress the have nots.
