Timm, would you please just create one, "I Hate Obama, Everything He Does Sucks!" thread, and you can just post on it endlessly?

While timm can occasionally be a little radical he happens to have a very good point here. This is a disgraceful piece of pork if we were rolling in money. As a economic stimulus it is close to criminal.

no telling how many pork projects get tacked onto bills-by both sides of the aisle. it adds up to hundred of millions or so every year.
next time one of your pols comes back, gives a speech extolling some money he's brought home-will you applaud or question? it's a lot easier to spend someone else's money-but we're ALWAYS the someone else. that money isn't free, we gave it all to the govt, and they choose how to spend it.

Totally agree. Printing $/borrowing to spend in this fashion succeeds in doing two things for sure: creates more government AND sinks us deeper in debt.

I don't hate Obama...but this is politics...unwise politics! So you can try to find out the facts, OR you can just go with the flow because your side won.
The problems our country faces are enormous, and if you're paying attention
you'll see that the stimulus bill is the same "tripe solution" that's been going on for decades. It would be a shame to forfeit our childrens' futures for an
ineffective band-aid now. That's my story...and I'm stickin to it!

I've been a lifelong Republican. "My side" is a train wreck.

I have been paying attention, and lets see what the GOP and Dems in the Senate rip out of it, as it's not a done deal yet.

No, it's not like the solutions that has been proposed (or implemented) in the last 8 years.

I read the NY Times, and the LA Times. Huffpost and FoxNews. O'Reilly and Limbaugh (but he makes me throw up, alot).

Maybe we could just entitle one thread, "The Obama Years" ?

Maybe we could call it "The Obama/ Carter Years"
