Funny…that's what I'm doing too while my "corrupt empire crumbles". Things are going great!

I guess it really isn't as bad as the media makes it sound huh?

All this stimulus packages of borrowing money at the expenses of our unborn for years to come, will only prop the Wall street as usual, while the nation falls more into decay and people into desperation.

Throwing bread crumbs to the hard working Americans with stimulus checks will only benefit China and all those companies that outsource American jobs oversea and to keep the people from rioting.

Brace yourself people because this nation is going to hit bottom after Obama borrow more on what we don't have.

Well, I gotta tell you, I'm not very pleased with the people Obama has tapped for economic positions in the cabinet so far. I could really see Bush appointing Gietner and a couple of the others. That's one part of the cabinet that really needs a radical.

Obama's speech today sounds pretty bad about the economy. I'm mildly pleased that his depiction isn't quite as rosy as certain members of the press and .gov have presented over the past year.

Not to get off topic but Australia is stronger when it comes to key economic indicators. It is not in a recession, the housing market hasn't crashed, sales were up over christmas compared to last, reserve bank interest rate is 4.25% and unemployment is low. Many countries will go down with the US, however it's unlikely everyone will and many opportunities are sure to be created if the US continues it's downward economic spiral. Many dangers from such a situation as well and not only economic.

You know what makes me angry. This guy runs his freaking campaign claiming to have a plan to fix our economy and people bought it hook, line, and sinker. And now that he has been elected, he issues a dire warning. What the hell happened to the plan? Pretty sad when even Obama don't have faith in his own plan. If he did he wouldn't be issuing his dire warning. Guess it was another opportunity for him to be in front of the mic.

I actually liked the speech it seems that he have a mind on business and on bringing the People in the front over government, but will he be truth to its world?

Mr Obama being extremely generous with money that isn't even his. Where's this money going, same place that the Goldman Sachs money went? On payrises and not on rescuing a failing business at all. Are the govt being duped? Or are they complicit, and the American public are being duped.

Edit:

Btw I'm not an economist, or an economy watcher, or even old enough to remember the last recession well. Can anyone tell me, is the usual method of surviving a recession this bailout type approach?

Am I missing something? I watched the speech Obama gave today, and heard nothing more, than the same words he spoke, when he was running for President. He could have read it off his website..It was everything we all have already heard..Its NOT a plan..where's the plan???

This is making me sick. Lord Obama is going to drive us into a Depression - not a 'long recession'. This next 'bailout' will lead to the total collapse of our economy and the dollar. Time to crank up the printing presses again

Yeah, MAYBE BUT not until 5+ of hardship.

i thought the whole thing sounded quite well thought out, he talked a lot about creating jobs by investing in capital works, to create employment.

if you read the link, the stimulus package is outlined

The package is expected to include tax cuts for businesses and middle-class workers, money to help cash-starved states with Medicaid programs and other operating costs, and a huge share for infrastructure building, investments in energy efficiency and a rebuilding of the information technology system for health care. Much of the latter portions of the plan are aimed at what Obama likes to talk about as the need for "reinvestment" and not just "recovery."

it doesn't look entirely like the bail-out you guys are imagining, sounds like the basis of a good plan to me.

EDIT: and this doesn't look to bad an idea either, it's in the last two paragraphs

Obama also promised action to address the economy's ills beyond the package, such as tackling the massive wave of home foreclosures many experts expect, preventing the failure of financial institutions, rewriting financial regulations and keeping accountable the "Wall Street wrongdoers" who engage in risky investing
