Many have heard and/or read the word STIMULUS, and experienced some excitement. Some have positioned their middle finger up at the television or mumbled the words 'this government can kiss my azz' when the word was blurted. I have done the most derogatory and offensive of the three.
Why this government cannot learn from their mistakes blows my mind. Another stimulus? The last one did not work! Did we elect a bunch of IDIOTS? History has proven that not one ‘forced bump’ in the economy has ever worked! Can't we see that this is a way to get what the politicians want and desire, without REALLY helping the American people? I am puzzled by this. Leaving me with one question:
When will the American people understand that government is not on their side?
No good natured, well liked, well spoken, adored, messiah-like for some, genuine, caring President can escape/change what the United States government has set forth for the future of this country: Doom as a result of Chickens Coming Home to Roost.
For those of us who got excited over STIMULUS, look over a few of the benefits that will directly affect the life of the average American:
*Those who receive food stamps with a family of four will receive a small increase. Enough for another jar of peanut butter (hope it is not contaminated).

*Some of us who make $75K or less will receive a $12 to $13 increase in our checks.
*Some will receive a check in the mail. The data shows that the lucky people who received the last handout used it to pay bills and buy food. Not many went out on a spending spree.
Thanks, Democrats!
Let’s keep in mind that 4.78 million Americans claimed unemployment benefits last week.
To bad the first black president is in charge as this pathetic place collapses further and further. God bless da brotha!
Below is a write-up from some random but INTELLIGENT dude I came across on line. He has written every word I wanted to convey:
The proposed new $825 Billion Stimulus package will cost well over $1 Trillion if just 2 years of interest is added onto it. You see, the federal government does not have the money for the stimulus package, so the Federal Reserve will just print a couple of trillion dollars for them and the American taxpayers will pay it back with interest.
The President and Congressional leaders are calling the current proposed stimulus package "an investment in America's infrastructure" but that is simply not the truth. According to the Congressional Budget Office, only 3 percent, or just $30 billion of this entire package, is dedicated to road and highway spending. The stimulus package will, however, provide additional funding for 150 different federal programs, will create 32 new federal programs, will expand government employment and federal agency budgets, but it's still not clear if it will create any measurable number of new private sector jobs.
While the people of America cut back on their spending and struggle to make ends meet, congress' new stimulus package will insure that government agencies and selected special interest groups will get more money to spend. This proposed legislation provides enough spending to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,700, or over $6,000 to every individual taxpayer. What did the American taxpayer get for the $ Trillion dollar plus bailout of Wall Street Firms and the Banks? Absolutely Nothing! Unless you consider that the goal was to help some banks and Wall Street firms buy out other banks and Wall Street firms. To make matters worse, it was just reported that Wall Street execs gave themselves over $18 Billion in bonuses in 2008 as a reward for their failure, all with the taxpayers' bailout money.

The government should be giving stimulus money back to the people who actually gave it to the government in the first place: the American Taxpayers. After all it is the people's money, isn't it? It would certainly do more to stimulate the economy and create jobs for the Americans who are losing their jobs, than giving the taxpayers' money to Wall Street firms, international Banks and hundreds of politically connected special interest groups that are currently lined up at the federal trough ready to feed off of the American taxpayers once again. Under this new stimulus legislation, even illegal aliens, without social security numbers, will be able to qualify for the $500 per person tax credit checks. That will really help the American people.
It is perfectly clear that there's more pork in this bill than you would find at a mid-western slaughterhouse. This bill is not designed to create large numbers of private sector jobs or to stimulate the private sector economy of this great country. Rather, it is designed to fundamentally change how the American economic system will operate in the future, with an ever expanding and intrusive role for the new Politburo in the federal government.
