Dems Happy With Stimulus Tweaks, Expect Request for $350B TARP Money

So I guess this means on DAY ONE--- BO WILL TELL us WHO got the money and where it went.... or will the Democratic MEDIA party hush it up as soon as BO becomes pres

can'tseei

I too have noticed everyone out and about spending but with so much doom and gloom about it is a wonder that people aren't piling what money they have under their beds. For the past 2 years we have been handed one bad news story after another, part of it real and part simple politics. Some say Obama will clean "the mess up" but something tells me that culprits like Frank and Dodd will continue in leadership roles that only thieves relish and Obama will wage a war on the mythical global warming scam and go after a former President.

Chet- with the Dems calling the shots, we are suckers. Hope you enjoy Pelosi and Reid and their corrupt Democratic chairman. When they don't deliver, they'll be out in 2010. No Republicans to blame this time.

Even though the thug Democrats Dodd, Schumer and Barney Frank forced Freedi and Fannie to make loans to unqualified borrower, the real problem is debt at all levels. People need to take personal responsibility for this mess. We the American people did this by living on a false economy for the past 40 years based on borrowing money. NO DEBT-NO DEFAULTS. Once people realize that they did this, borrowing more more seems like insanity. well it is. Obama is going to generate so much debt, Bush will be thought of as a beacon of austerity. We have to stop these Democrats from destroying the next generations with debt.

People need to take personal responsiblity for their stupid purchases...and understand that not everybody is entitled to an $800K house...duh...oh, and by the way, you don't buy what you can just afford; you buy what you can well afford. Common Sense people. And I agree with Brian, that Chris, Barney, and Schumer should be paying back a lot of these $100blns out of their own pocket, since they forced the banks to make these crap loans.

I LOVE IT! 'Bama and his back-room antics with the money that shouldn't have been given to anyone now goes to the Dems? Why the hell do they keep calling it TARP Money? It's TAXPAYER MONEY, YOU IDIOTS, AND STOP SPENDING IT!

Palosi,Reid,Paulson,Bush-------The great four amd there is many many more that we chose to represent us and who do they really represent. Their own interest and personal agendas are all they care about. I wonder how much money Nascar will get this time. Say goodbye to that 350 billion. Oh what the heck. We tax payers only have to pay for it so why should we have a say or vote. Maybe we should have a special election so we can vote where it goes. Ha! That would be the day. They do not want us to receive it. Dem, Rep. it doesnt matter. They are all about them and the rich that can line their pockets and special interest. Their voting soon to give themselves a pay raise. I guess they wouldnt want us to vote on that either. Their smart. (And crooked.)I hope and pray that Obama is a change and will be a man of his word and will acually care about the average hard working or willing to work American. He would be a first in a long long time.

Number one - Clinton started this when he decided that EVERYONE should be able to own a home. No - EVERYONE shouldn't. 100 percent financing...so now all the people who have paid their bills diligently are feeling a real crunch...all because bleeding heart liberals want to socialize(communist) our middle class.

That and everyone wants and expects to have exactly what their parents have (or more) as soon as they graduate from school (HS, College, etc)...all the cars, the big house, etc. Everyone should wait and WORK FOR these things...not get them and work later to pay for them.

CAW Personal agendas are what politics is all about. Bush-Enron, Cheney-Haliburton. You get the picture.i

Boy, I sure hope I get my cut. I haven't had a job in over 2 years.

Cant see it... you forgot to mention the lard a lot of Americans carry around on their backsides. Yes we are really having it rough in this country.
Maybe it is better in Africa, or Gaza!
The great one had to "paint" such a terrible picture in America... I cant see it either. People have gas in the cars and fat on the arsses. The real tough times they are talking about are because we need to lend 700 B to wall street so they can give us credit. We need to bail out the big 3 automakers so they can continue to build cars that we can't afford to buy. We need to make sure the CEO's get their millions even if the companies go under. We taxpayers sure are a bunch of suckers. makes me feel kind of like an Obama supporter!

Ah, Congress, doing what they do best; spending our money. They must be salivating at the prospects of 350 Billion.

can'tseeit You'll see it soon. Bush screwed up the economy so bad it'll take years to get this under control. Thank god we got someone like Obama coming to the rescue.

You are an idiot. Bush didn't screw up the economy any more than Clinton. The housing crisis was caused by Clinton. The Democrats pushed the bill to allow any idiot like yourself who cant add or subtract to "buy" a house. Now we all pay for the mistakes the idiot Dem-wits made. Blaming Bush is your scapegoat from the real truth. I ain't seeing it either. You must live somewhere else. Funny thing, you are probably one of the fat, ignorant Dem-wits on disability
who sits at his computer and eats junk food all day. Are you really hurtin'? JimBob?? Or is it all in you and Obama's mind????

CAW Personal agendas are what politics is all about. Bush-Enron, Cheney-Haliburton. You get the picture.i

You forgot to mention a few things Jim Blob! Clinton-Dubai, Dodd & Frank, Fannie/Freddie, Ted kennedy, murder
Hillary, theft, Pelosi-retard, Reid, senility... should I go on???

Quit your crying about Bush. Obama can continue to blame the former administration and milk another bunch of idiots next election! (just like you)

Paulson lied to the congress when he was fear mongering that the economy will further slump if the 700 billion bail out was not granted. Once the funds were appropriated they disappeared into thin air. Now more fear mongering for a trillion dollars. Never in history of America has the tax payer funds been squandered, plundered and swindled as in recent times. Just pay off the deficit and give the middle class a tax cut and stop the fear mongering and let the chips fall where they may. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Never before this statement by FDR is more relevant and appropriate than now. From the posts here and posts elsewhere it is very clear that there is no confidence in the government and wall street and that people are disgusted with the liars and the thieves who have made off with billions and the Swindlers list is growing by the minute. We are expected to trust that there will be oversight in how the remaining 350 billion will be spent. It is a big lie and it will disappear like the previous 350 million with no change in the economy, with more unemployed and more misery for the tax payers and lavish parties for the swindlers and the crooks.

Giving people money or tax breaks is not teaching anyone to be fiscally responsible. Oh that's right, they don't want us to be that way. Same old answers to the a serious problem is not the way to go. Spend, spend, spend and worry about it later, unbelievable.!

We are so screwed..........

Oh yeah...anything that comes to the middle class worker will be a joke. (600.00) bahahahahahah....Not even a house payment for my little bitty 1400 square foot house.

You are absolutely right for not trusting the destructive wild bush and paulson; but even they couldn't wast $350 BILLION in five days. lol

The rest of the TARP money is going to be allocated by the new administration.

I can not agree with you more,and i think most people will approve,too.
