Obama Advisers Push $500 Billion Stimulus

bush spent incorrectly, in a way that doesn't benefit the whole population all of the time. Instead a few (dam few) part of the time. Obama will need to spend correctly in a way that benefits every citizen all of the time. He needs to get the money (all the money)moving in all directions every day between every person. The money going to the oil and product manufactures out side of the country needs to stop. Import/export dollar for $ both ways. You don't buy we don't buy. You buy we buy.

Just wait, PELOSI & REID will be asking to bail out the airline industry. then they will put massive restrictions on th Oil & Gas Industry that these companies will have to charge us $5.00 a gallon to break even. News Media will put the blame on Big Oil companies instead of PELOSI & REID. I just heard that the Dem's want ALL ranchers to take down their high fences. I guess it is inhumane to keep the wild aminals on your property. Say good bye to wild game hunts and the way you now earn a living.

California...would you PLEASE vote out the Bitxh Pelosi....thank you...

what everyone needs to remember is the republicans bear the fault on this one. I bet our deficit is being understated by bush just like it was with bush senior. When clinton took office we found out it was double what was stated. This is going to take a massive amount of money to fix, better ge ready, but hey some new bridges here is better than in iraq.

Ya'll print some more money. It's Obama's turn to get paid.

I THINK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD JUST LET GOD LEAD AND DIRECT OUR PRESIDENT,AND STOP FUSSIN ABOUT DEMOCRATES OR REPLUBIC BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW YOU FUSS ABOUT IT,IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE DONE THE WAY THE LORD SEE'S FIT NOT US!SO WE NEED TO PRAY AND ASK THE LORD TO TAKE CARE OF US,AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT THINGS YOU CANT CHANGE

It is just so easy to blame everything on Bush, but Congress has to take its fair share of the blame. Nothing is done in isolation. If everything is done by Bush alone, why bother even electing a Congress. The democrats have had control over the last 2 years and they haven't made anything better either. Both parties can share the blame.

With all of this spending, we are leaving a lot of debt for our future generations to have to pay off. We have to be looking at ways to also be cutting the budget also. We cannot continue to bail out every industry that has its hand out.

Well if you don't want it you can send your share back.

Any takers?

Not only has bushed bailed out Banks he has given them a tax brake at the same time, and now I read that our bail out money is going for bonuses.

I am sure those bonuses are really making an impact.

Welfare for the rich, a republican idea.

We are already in a DEPRESSION!!!

They just won't say it!!!

The markets just need to crash!!!

Everybody voted for change? Where's the change? Obama is taking up where Bush left off on excessive spending.
Meanwhile, the "top 5%" that Obama is targeting to pay for all this extra spending are all moving their money into over seas accounts and getting ready to move their companie sout of the country.

Like I've been saying all along, bend over and get ready to take it up the ...... The middle class is about to pay and pay big.

Obama doesn't take office until Jan 20th. Until then, put a cork in it on what he is or is not doing. It's amazing you people are complaining already and he isn't in office yet.

Who was in control the 6 previous years? That's right, the Republicans. This just didn't happen in the past two years.

Good grief people - will you never let go of your toxic mumbo jumbo! At least 70% of our country voted against that kind of rhetoric - or didn't you hear?

we NEED raparation for black people, that is the only way to heal the nation

You folks are fools if you think gas prices will stay below $2 a gallon for very long.

As soon as the economy picks up a bit or there's any kind of military conflict involving producer states, the prices will go right back up again.

The problem with US automakers is they kept making kludgy gas hogs, even after the major supply problems of the '70s. The problem with American people is they kept on buying them... until gas got to around $5 a gallon.

What this country really needs is

(1) A very high gasoline surtax

(2) Speed limits back down to 55 mph

(3) Government investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy

Doris,

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

Geeze

To be totally honest I am ashamed of the partisan statements that people make assuming that Obama is responsible for our current financial conditions. He is not POTUS yet and he has assymbled a very responsible economic advisory team to try to figure our a reasonable solution to our economic woes. The "DEEP" hole that has been dug was dug by Bush / Cheney and the Iraq war. The 700B bailout was to pay for the exiting administrations bonuses to keep it real. I trust Obama to make reasonable decisions and I highly suggest that Americans give him the chance to bring the CHANGE WE NEED.

Under the Bush/Republican free market economics imagine - we would have lost the auto-industry, almost all the WS banks and leading insurance companies.

Where as Germany has the strongest economy in Europe - and is the most industrial nation on earth - and they back their industry.

Jesus, where are we going to get this money?

Steve:

If you want the things you write than go to Russia they already have it! I am sure they will welcome another Brain Dead person into their country! While you are there tell Putin we all said hello and go to He**

NO MORE BAILOUTS!!! IF THE MONEY DON'T COME DIRECTLY TO US, THE PEOPLE, THEN WE SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN IT OUT. IF YOU WANT TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, GIVE US THE MONEY TO SPEND!

way to go guys----put 500 billion in the economy--spend it at wallmart --and the waltons plus the chinese will be the benifactors----DO SOMETHING ABOUT FOREIGN TRADE AND GET SOME OF OUR JOBS BACK.---and stay away from free trade with colombia,or we will be in worse trouble.we dont want to be a third world country.

will
would it not be nice if we got a 50% rebate on a new fuel efficient car---the auto industry would boom, and we all would benifit in many ways----less oil dependancy----cleaner air----more money in circulation cheaper transportation. but once again it is all about big business---the same old crap.

Wow, am I really seeing Republicans complaining because they might get some of their tax dollars BACK? I thought that was the ultimate goal of the GOP: to put more money in the pockets of the consumers.

I'd rather see a $500 billion stimulus than giving $700 billion to Wall Street thieves and low lifes so they can pay their bonuses and big salaries. Its sink or swim time for Wall Street bankers.

YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT BUSH WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS BIG BUSINESS FRIENDS BEFORE HE IS GONE-----AND THAT IS A FACT.
