A year from now, will this bill have boosted or expanded ?

We'll all be able to tell a year from now but do you think the 'Stimulus Bill' being worked on now will end up: A) - giving the economy a much needed boost or B) - doing a lot more to expand government ?

B.

I thought the Obama administration was about change... but so far he is staffing his cabinet full of Washington insiders. He selects a crazed... salivating warmonger in Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. Emanuel seems to be content in arming a new wave of American IDF while disarming the American populace. Nothing new there. We have another Clinton in the White House. Bob Gates stays. Tax cheats aplenty.

The office of President is a farce. Obama... like his predecessor... is a place holder for the multinational banks that reign. Expect bigger government... war in the Middle East/Central Asia for Poppy and Oil fields... and constitutional rights infringed. The only change is skin color and an articulate silver tongue delivery of the same poison.

it is going to take many many years to get the economy back on track there will be no way to tell in a year if it actually worked

The spendulous bill is going to ruin this country financially, and will only make government bigger and bigger. Brobama can't yet answer in specifics how ANY of these programs he blabbers about will be put forth. I believe he is just trying to look like he's really doing something, when all he's doin is flying around the country to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars , and he's STILL FRIKN CAMPAIGNING. I think all of my work this season will be for cash, and then I'm gonna hightail it outta here before the dems REALLY get control. This thing passes, and most of the loot wil go right into government employees pockets. AND WHY HASN'T BARNEY FRANK BEEN ARRESTED YET? WHY HASN'T TIM GEITHNER PAID ALL OF HIS BACK TAXES AND PENALTIES TOO? Oh right, statute of limitations. This is one winner of an administration he's building huh? Tom Daschle my aschle. At least he was man enough to admit he was wrong and didn't deserve the post. uuhhhggg

Well said irrismith, this Bail out is not going to be any good for us, like irrismith said all the money is going to do is make bigger government, and more financial problems for us...What does all this mean it means that we will be getting closer to a financial crash as then the stocks will crash and we will be in tuns of trouble, I know some of you don't believe this and some do, but how I see it I think this whole bail out thing is going to do is lead to a HUGE BUBBLE and once the bubble POPS! we are in a depression worse then the 1930s.

haha no kidding Barney Frank should be arrested but he most likely has powerful people behind him...

Also did you know that Kashkari and the Feds will not give account of where 2 trillion dollars of taxpayer money has gone. This is a verified fact. Go to http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109sid=apx7XNLnZZlcrefer=home

Members of Congress were scrambling last night to find copies of the gigantic $789 billion stimulus bill that conferees for the Senate and House had agreed to. After all, the vote is today and members are supposed to have a minimum of 48 hours to examine bills. That rule clearly has been ignored by Congressional leaders, but what infuriates members even more is that Beltway lobbyists had large portions of the bill yesterday while they did not. . . . They passed the Bill today whose cost is approximately equal to the value of all U.S. currency in circulation without even having access to a copy.

Note with all the 'fear - urgent - fear' placed on this gigantic $789 billion stimulus bill - passed before even members could read it with no review of the bill by the public as promised (5 day on WH website), they took 4 DAYS to sign it !! - had to set up a photo-op gala event !! - not the type of 'Change' America needs !!
