Yeah...
There goes 800 Billion dollars that our grand kids will pay off.

[Mathalamus]

[Ares]

That is IF you believe it will work. And IF its actually worth the 800 Billion dollars.

[Blue]

Woo, and look at the stocks! Wallstreet did GREAT today! rolleyes:

[Mathalamus]

it cant possibly change in half an hour.

[Siris]

hmmm hard to say if it will work from that article. But if it does now is the time to buy stock.

Math..PLEASE..refrain from commenting on these subjects since you obviously have no clue.My thoughts are only..."God help us all"

I love when billions of our tax dollars go to paying back Barry's campagin contributors, or to honey bee insurance, light bulbs, hybrid cars for federal employees, you know other bullshit like that. The Congressional Budget Office did a study of the bill and determined that in the long run this will hurt us more than anything.

[wazzacky]

ick. and i can only think of the effects this will have in Canada.

i was just reading what the money was going too. and to me it actually looks like a good plan. Like it is heavily based on efficiency. which in the long run will save alot of money. You guys don't think this?

[SpoonMan999]

It will save us a lot of money to spend $800billion? Uh...what?

This is what the Congressional Budget Office predicts will happen to the economy over the next few years. The numbers on the left represent growth in GDP by percentage.

1000$ a month doesn't sound that much tho pam. don't ya get bored?
My mom is unable to work and hasn't had a job for like 2 years and i can tell shes starting to get tired of it.

[Mathalamus]

you see in that graph that the growth as been negative the whole time. im sure you can live another 2 years of negative growth. if you don't, move to Canada

It is NOT a lot of money,but it covers taking care of the pets and getting groceries.

The pets keep me busy,and I check on older people in the neighborhood.
I also do online counseling and ,of course,post here and play FFXI as well as clean,cook,laundry,yard work...you get the idea.

As for the stimulus NO ONE knows if it will work or not.This all goes back to "Time will tell"

Sadly...our grandchildren will bear the burden regardless...
