What is that, you say? It’s only $800 BILLION! NO, NO, NO … read this on Bloomberg and see how we’ll be in the hook for $9.7 TRILLION! So what could you do with that amount of money?
Well you could pay off 90% of all home loans in the USA. How much would you economy be stimulated if you no longer had a house payment? Now that’s change we can believe in, not this BS Scary Barry is trying to shove down our throats. Our nation is being robbed blind by the new President and the Democrat congress with three rouge RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) … we are going to be on the hook for $9.7 TRILLION! With a “T” TRILLION.
Even my home boy Mitch McConnell said …
“The bill they presented — and which House Democrats approved this week along a party line vote — looks more like a $1 trillion Christmas list,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said.

Is your head about to explode it should be because the list goes on and on and on with more and more pork. Most of this spending, and it’s spending not stimulus doesn’t go into effect until 2010 and 2011 … 2010 being a congressional election year and 2011 being the lead election year for Obama … is this calculated or what? If we’re in such a damn hurry to save the world why is 85% of the SPENDING not going into immediate effect? Well I’ll try you, the piggies went to Washington and robbed the future blind.
Obama doesn’t know what he is doing and if you can’t see that, then you need to put the Kool-aid down and pick up a big old glass of reality. Numbnuts is using fear to hoodwink the American people and fortunately 70% of Americans aren’t buying it .. that only warm feeling I get out of this is watching his poll numbers continue to slide as more and more American get off the Obama juice.
Call your congressman and tell them no, we can’t and our children and grand children can’t afford it. It’s bad, bad plan and the Democrats are shooting at ghost, clueless to what to do.
