The next trillion dollar bailout

[2TurboZ]

Or what about the 2 BILLION $ headed to the Nations Parks?

So please Tom…educate me on first…when where and how $ falls from the sky?

Then EXACTLY line for line where it is headed.

And then you tell me that this is still a great idea.

I love how naive people are about “money for infrastructure”. It worked for FDR because back then when you spent a million dollars on building a road 950000 of it went to the road. With today’s union bidding processes for government work a million dollars will get you 10 feet of road because you have to pay 100% of the workers healthcare, retirement, sick days, vacation days, holidays, minimum work hours, apprentice requirements blah blah blah. None of that really helps the economy.

ya know, that’s really why I think they should ONLY hire a supervisor. For manual labor, bring in the people who don’t have jobs and let them work for their monthly paycheck until they get back on thier feet.

talk about killing a few birds with one stone

Not sure if it was said yet. I heard that they require to use American made steel for infrastructures.No foreign. Hes encouraging to buy American

yup… it should come as no surprise to anyone that his administration is on the defence over this one when you see shit like that bundled with an economic package.

while campaigning, didnt he talk about going through every single departments budget and cutting away all the fat? yet the first thing he does is add some more on :banghead:

edit: I said it before he got elected, it’s going to be business as usual. All that hope and change BS made me feel wonderful though

[2TurboZ]

Total transparancy on this bailout…everyone will know where every cent is being spent…

I like it…spend the $ to prop up an already overpriced non competitive american business for a few more years until the $ goes away again.

Lets fix the initial problem instead of putting bandaids on everything.

“Why is this new road so crooked and bumpy”.

“It was made by 20 laid off investment bankers”.

So much for the rest of the world loving us again. Should be interesting to see what tune the people who were crying so loud about needing the world to like us and Obama being the cure sing over this.

“It was made by 20 laid off investment bankers”.

thats why if they fuck it up, you dock their pay to fix it until it’s done right

I’d bet money that the next one is done better than a union crew could, quicker and cheaper

[JayS]

So Steve’s economic plan should be dubbed the “Lightning McQueen/Cars” plan.

Some how between that video and this one you could find the truth.

Honestly, everyone is at fault. And this is not what the argument here is about.

[Dr.Stevil]

it’s called “we’ll help you out, but you have to do something for us”

no free rides

is a lazy person living off of our dime really going to prefer doing manual labor over taking a cushy telemarketing job? Me thinks not

edit: what is lightning mcqueen?

@2TurboZ

This bailout is doomed from the start.

It will only create higher taxes and increased costs down the road.

The tax burden will be passed on to the states and then to the counties and ultimately it will cost everyone far more than it gives them.

Free Market society is the only way to make this right. The good get better and the weak die.

AMEN bro!!!

Not sure the point of that video. It doesn’t counter anything that the video I posted stated, which is that yes, Republicans are generally pro-deregulation, but that since 2001 we were saying it went too far with these lenders and it was the democrats who were blocking the regulation.

Well here is a chart on the jobs that “should” be created.

And here is a pie chart of where the money “should” go.

http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/15/stimulus-pie-chart/

And as far as where we are going to get the money…we’re going to borrow it you silly goose. :mamoru:

Again we’re loosing 20,000 jobs a day, what exactly is the Republican plan for this?

PS: Should is “should” because who knows where the money will go in the end. But unlike the cynics, I’m holding out hope that this will work.

so it doesnt anger you in the least bit that this money is going other places than it should be?

edit: this has nothing to do with the republicans at this point your guys are pretty much calling all of the shots right now

O boy…I feel really warm and tingly on the inside HOPING the $ goes where it “should”

But in true liberal style you have nothing but hopes and shoulds guiding you in your decision making.

But we are all in this together…whooppiiieeeeee

I also love the 31.3 Billion dollars going to ???
