Did I hear him right? $150 billion economic stimulus package? Seriously? Where does the village idiot expect to get the money for to pay for this? I suppose sacrificing medicaire and social security would be in line? Hell they are almost dead anyway, drain the last of the money from those two programs to pay for it.

Here we are paying $1 billion a day for the Iraq war, social security hasn't been fixed, gas prices are sky rocketing, the housing market is horrendous and the US dollar is the weakest it has ever been against the Canadian dollar and he thinks that $800-$1600 per household and a bunch of temporary tax cuts is going to fix the economic crisis in this country?

I disagree. Yes the money would be nice to have, but the problems run deeper and the idiot and his administration knows it. They pulled this shit before when people were still fuming over the defeat of Gore in Florida and everyone forgot about Gore for a while after that because of a $300-$600 rebate back in 2001 which also was at a time when the country was going broke.

Here he is again trying to buy votes for the republicans with immediate rebates again and the country is going broke yet again. What a friggin stroke of genius. When Im broke Im going to prance down my street with dollar 20 dollar bills for everyone singing happy songs! Well this time, I don't want the money, I want a democrat in the White House (or Ron Paul). It would be nice if John Edwards could make up some ground and win this thing but he probably won't.

There are so many other things that can and should be done instead of stuffing our wallets with tax breaks and refunds meant in large part to buy votes in 2008. I love the money in my wallet as much as the next American, but this time, that money needs to go elsewhere to help turn this country around.
