So... the House passed the Stimulus plan.
*bangs head on desk*
But there is hope! Not a single Republican voted for this plan and twelve Democrats also voted against it!! Can you beleive that?! Obama was all hoping for bipartisanship with this one, but if he really wants it, he's gonna have to come to the Republicans, not the other way around. "Reach across the aisle" like you said you would in your campaign speeches, Mr. Obama. We're waiting.
So now the Senate is going to vote on their stimulus plan (why are there TWO?!) and they've decided to drop it from nearly $900 billion dollars to around $700 billion. Which is... better... I guess... Something like 40% of it is going to tax cuts, so I guess... that's... okay...
Ugh.
Didn't the Democrats complaign that we were spending too much on the Iraq war? Well, their beloved stimulus plan is EASILY going to cost more than all of our time there.
Honestly, I say if they MUST have this terrible spending plan, they should scrap the whole thing and start from scratch.
Also, if you don't understand any of what this stimulus plan is supposed to be doing, go read my last journal then read my lovely analogy I'm oh-so proud of:
You're married and the father of three beautiful children. For a while, your family is doing great. You got a promotion at work and you're making lots of money. Then, all of a sudden, your wife loses her job. You were kind of relying on her paycheck because you two have spoiled your kids rotten what with ipods, TV, computers... not real necessities, just cool stuff.
So, what do you do?
If you only have one paycheck, you obviously can't allow your kids to continue getting whatever they want.
To me, what this stimulus plan is doing is rather than telling the kids that we need to save money, it's spending more on like cellphones and whatnot. What good is that?
Let's continue with this analogy.
You, the father, have been sent to the store to buy milk and bread, true family necesseties. You're out on your own, so what do you spend it on? What YOU want, like CD's and a new TV. Is that really going to help the family? (I'd like to thank Louisiana Representative Bill Cassidy for that analogy.)
The whole point of a stimulus plan is to create jobs and strengthen the economy ("get the milk and bread"). Instead, it's spending money on what the writers want to spend money on, such as special intrest groups to help them get elected later, anti-Global Warming programs that haven't been proven, or resodding the National Mall because it was trampled ("CD's and a new TV.").
It's more of an issue of common sense. When money is tight, why would you want to spend more? When you need something, why spend it on superfluous goodies?
God Bless America!

Dems don't mind spending money it's what it's spent on that they care about. They want to enslave as many to the state as possible. Freeing people from crazy mad men is not high on their list of things to do.

Amen to that! And when only 30% of the VOTING POPULATION agrees with this plan, you'd think they'd be more reasonable..

Well, look at the bright side. If the bill fails, the Republicans CAN'T be blamed because they were against it from the start.
Then again, they might say it was the Republicans' fault because we delayed their madness.
Why do I suddenly feel like we're the Jews of the political world? xD;;
Yeah, see, all these money they're lending to the banks and automakers is paying a heavy toll. If the companies accept this money, they've got to play by the Govt.'s games. For example, instead of the CEO's making over $1 mill. dollars a year, they can only make $500,000. Now, normally, I've got no problem with that, because if you want the money, you've got to follow the lenders' rules, so long as once they pay the money they borrowed back, they're off scot-free. HOWEVER, there's this nasty little loophole in the fineprint that says the Govt. is free to change the standards whenever they want so potentially they could keep these companies under their control FOREVER and suddenly we're in Comrade Land under communism. That's not cool. Plus, I also feel if you own a company you have the right to do whatever you want with it...
Do you watch the Glen Beck show on Fox News? He's soooo funny and always has great stories. He's a radical Conservative, so sometimes he's a little nutty, but he's great anyways.
