Let’s face it there is only one way to turn this around and it begins by voting ALL of the politicians out of office and putting some everyday working Americans in there (term limits), second a law requiring complete discl;osure on thier income, and passing a law that states the politicians shall be forced to abide by the same rules as every American including social security, medicade, retirement. How dare they set special programs for themselves at our expense and then pass laws to be enforced on us that they are exempt from.

not that I favored the unregulated bailouts to banks etc., under the Bush administration, but I also do not favor the unabashed expenses under this unbelievable bailout plan of this Congress. It will cost EACH of us (in 2009) upwards of $180,000…in 2025, it will cost my children and their children even more, with the then current value of the dollar.

I cannot seem to find any website that provides–in detail–about what our silly representatives are voting on. So the public is left in the dark yet again, except for the “dire” warnings of this president.

Some stimulus is needed, but not for all these spending programs…simplify and cut back. The American people did not vote for a new set of programs, but for a more orderly regulated expenditure system. Sorry, Obama did not receive a mandate–half the country disagreed with him…I did not vote for a Congress to take $20.00 out of my left pocket, only to return $0.50 into my right pocket.

CUT SPENDING!!!! (geesh…doesn’t anyone get it??)

This is NOT Obama’s Bill… this is toxic Pelsoi & Reid’s Bill & they are trying to stuff it down everyone else’s throat.

This is a spending bill! Do they think Americans are stupid. Have you read all 180 pages of this garbage. Only about 20% will even be processed in 2009 & then Obama says it is URGENT to pass this. What a Crock. To think I voted for this guy.

What about requiring the money to be spent for services in the US rather than goods? Goods may mean money going out of the US to other countries – services means the money stays here. Restaurants, auto repair, etc. Why are we bailing out businesses that “lose” money (are we talking real losses or paper losses due to buying Hummers and deducting the entire cost). So, I get to buy a Hummer, deduct the entire cost, lose money, get money from the government because my business looses money. Wow, isn’t this a country for the people and by the people? I want MY country back.
