Little-known fact: Obama's failed stimulus program cost more than the Iraq war | Washington Examiner
Bush spent $850B in 2008 on his recovery programs. Obama's will cost $787B over ten years.
Obama's plan:
$288B in tax cuts, for both individuals and businesses.
$155B to sure up health care (including Medicaid, Veterans Health, COBRA, etc)
$100B in education spending so that schools didn't have to fire all of the teachers.
$82B in low-income help, like unemployment insurance, social security, vocational training, etc.
I say he should have let the economy collapse. Let all of the banks and businesses fail, and have unemployment rise to 100%. That would have been the better choice.
You'll find the Iraq War involved a little more blood and orphans, though--unless you want to talk in pure abstractions, of course.
No, the civilian Death Count released by Iraqi's.....ya know...THAT LIVE IN IRAQ, show its far, far, less than the over inflated numbers the American left tries to publish.
Yup.....all those companies should have been left to fail....run a bad buisness and you deserve to LOSE to the competition.....buy a home you can't afford and you DESERVE to lose that house and live in something you can afford....like an apartment. But hey, maybe Chevy's 41,000$ dollar LEMON (Volt) and new cologne will save them from oblivion in the coming decade.
Did you get your 100% unemployment numbers from Mad magazine if we had let those companies fail? Cause that's 100% uneducated and/or informed.
Dems are finished as a majority. Tune in Nov. 3rd for the laughfest.
Even the Presidents party is distancing themselves and admitting that they got diddley squat for all the wasteful and frivilous spending the Dems have done. Here is Michael Bennett (D) of colorado saying the EXACT same thing
Bennet Says We Have Nothing to Show For All of Our Debt, Will Not Commit to Position on Card Check | Greeley Gazette
Its the Dems who are actually unraveling right now as the most fiscaly irresponsible administration in history......waterloo:pimp:
If you think debt is a new concept for america, you are an idiot. We have been in debt since WW2, it is part of keynsian economics. We have a lot of debt now, but in the overall scheme of things, we always have. We'll manage it the same way we always have, in fact, the last person to successfully manage our debt was a democrat. Maybe we should give them a term of two, since repubs squandered their last 2?
Just curious - if that happened, where would you be buying your food, gasoline, etc. from? If the banks failed, nearly every goods+service company in the country would have failed (a la Circuit City, as large companies run on credit)Quote:

You're on a marijuana forum - talk about an issue that liberals fight for, and conservatives treat like the first step towards apocalypse.
well one silver lining to all this is the new Camaro! :pimp: f'n badass. I got get one. :D that alone makes the bail out worth it in my opinion.
NO CAMARRO BOAZ.......my nextdoor neighbor got one in May....sweet.....black SS with red racing stripes........and it had so many problems.......still does. Guy curses the thing. Thats just one dudes expierience though. If your gonna take on debt in this market....make it count I suppose. The Dodge Challenger looks way tighter anyway, way better. Especially with 24 in Center Line racing rims and tires and a cherry bomb exhaust kit. Like whoa.
Bush's regime sold us on BS to invade Iraq....no doubt......but atleast the world is rid of a man that uses chemical weapons on his own civilian population, committs genocide, and used acid baths........the "stimulus" of working americans tax dollars got us JACK SHIT. A chevy cologne and a 41,000$ dollar chevy volt that hardly anyone will buy. Gee thanks......my kids are pumped.
^ thats too bad, they sure look cool tho. :smokin: prolly made in canada or mexico anyway. think I'll stick with my mustang, its paid for. :jointsmile:
