Thread: Stimulus Plan

Only 3% of the package is for roads and such. The rest is for Medicare, free money for states like California who will drop it down a rat hole like they did the 40 billion dollars that they were over budget last year, and all kind of social programs like making sure that people that can not afford a house have one, planned parenthood and on and on and on! In the end it will be our kids that pay for the 2 trillion that they plan to spend and that is wrong! Everyone tries to make this a partisan thing, it is a politician thing! They now have the excuse and power to spend even more money than the Republicans did when they were in power. It was wrong when they did it and it is still wrong. We need jobs, not bigger government. The number of government workers went up last year while the private sector shrank and guess who pays for the government worker?

The citizens of this country have to;

1. Get up every day and go to work.
2. Quit buying things on credit and making the bloodsucking credit card companies rich!
3. Spend their money that they get from work to firstly buy what they need not what they want!
   
4. Quit thinking that when a politician gives you something it is free!
   
5. Buy what they can afford and quit thinking that everyone else owes you something because you entitled to it.
   

The last time we were here was the Carter years and to buy a house you had to pay 17% interest and unemployment was over 12%.

It comes down to this. Look into the eyes of your children and realize that you owe them the best you can do and behave like you would like them to behave. Finally, at least to them, pretend you give a damn about the country that you live in because a child without values or hope will be your worst nightmare.


Take Care,

Just to be sure I understand, we "need" more straight razors, right?

Of course we do! I am, of course, referring to the point that you do not buy razors if you can not afford it.

Yeah, more straight razors taken to the federal budget.
