Stimulus and Bailouts—same thing

President Bush couldn’t do it. How many BILLIONS did he actually give away with NO strings attached? His party got soundly defeated in November. President Obama, elected to save us from ourselves, so far has stimulated nothing but more anxiety. The market continues to go down.

We keep borrowing more with the idea that we will be spending more money that doesn’t really exist. We have to get rid of waste in government (and there is plenty), make cuts and even raise taxes in certain areas. That’s the hard truth of the matter.

62% of the people here who took the poll said that this Stimulus Plan will not work. This poll reflects national poll outcomes. If Obama does not garner the confidence of the American people, and soon, he definitely won’t stimulate anything but more hopelessness and pessimism with a lower consumer confidence level than it already is. How much lower can it go?
