Anyone for some pork????

In the meantime we should just let America continue to meltdown, right?

Uh, no. Who advocated that? Not passing the stimulus is not the same as doing nothing.

We let the conservatives have their chance and it didn't work...

I wish we had let conservatives control things. Bush was not the paragon of conservatism. He was the one who advocated the first bailout(s)! Reagan economics has not had its chance to fix things in our current situation.

What is wrong with helping out the disadvantaged?

Nothing at all. But you must remember that the ends do not justify the means. By what means are we helping the disadvantages?

Unfortunately, the Republicans got us into this mess (w/help from the Democrats) and it requires spending to get us out. Maybe not, but what would you like to see, where would you like to see the $$$ go?

I would like to see the dollars used by those who earned them, not by the nanny government which always knows best. Many people complain about the rich (I am not rich, by the way). But who is it that creates jobs? Do poor people create jobs? No, they need jobs; let the private sector provide the jobs, not the government.

Capitalism works if left alone. If you don't believe me...sorry.
