Obama, A fool and his money are soon parted.

Ollie, with all the money lost in the market now, how much money do you figure is floating around out there in cyber space?

This is a bad deal. All those investments (CD's etc) backed by FDIC. It will have to pass. If it doesn't it shows the govt doesn't back it's own deals. essentially govt collapses.

our leaders are idiots..if they truely wanted to help the good old US of A they would have just stopped taxing average taxpayers for 1 year...the money those taxpayers keep would have stimulated our economy(and the worlds ) 10 times over what all this stimulus has done...people would have money to buy new cars, pay off credit cards..buy homes...and any and everything in between....

 

[ArcticBoy]

Can't check you on that one. My calc doesn't go to 10 billion. Let alone what these idiots are doing.

if you can't beat em' join em'.....I think will quit my job and borrow a bunch of dough to buy crap with and get behind on my payments.....top it off with a new car for her, and a new truck on bling bling dub dubs and that should tip the scales to getting me a check.

WTF, I thught we had to vote on how we spend our $$

We did.
We voted for change and that's all we will have left.

 

[winter brew]

At least wars need things like bombs, ammo, vehicles, planes, ships etc.....all keeping people employed and paying taxes. I know where I work we benefit from a strong military.

I like the people that try to compair the war against terrorism and dimestic spending.
We have a short term spending increase vs a program that will bankrupt generations.

Good thing we didn't have libs around during WW2. We would have lost.

Gee why am I not surprised? As Gomer Pyle would say, "surprise, surprise, suuuurprise." This cartoonist does math as well as you. The current cost of the war is around 750 billion. Wasn't the stimulus around the same amount? 4 times huh? LMAO....stupid libby media! Look at the source....Chattanooga Times....LMFAO.

I honestly don't know, I just posted it because it was funny.

Doesn't matter if it is a war or a bailout we are spending money we do not have and there are people getting rich from it at the cost of the American Tax payer.

Bailout was a joke, as was the war in Iraq.


Wars used to provide a lot of jobs in manufacturing etc, that really is not the case any more. They provide jobs for people already making six figures, not for the average joe.


On top of that American's soldiers die, for these "jobs". If you were to take the money spent on this war and invest it into the economy. NOT GIVE IT AWAY, but INVEST it, the rewards would be MUCH MUCH HIGHER.

We can start with taking care of war veterans from prior wars the way we should have in the first place...

Now I am rambling....

Rats, I can't even argue with that.
