You beat me to this topic!

Well, I'll be big enough to give credit where due.
Harry Reid gets a
The man shows evidence of common sense.

I like the money, but its really just table scraps..last year i got $600..the damn banks got millions, and countrys who could dcare less about us, got multi millions. TABLE scraps..thats ll this stimulus is

Wont you get i trouble for not filing yuor taxes? I mean if your getting under the table money, that i understand..but if yuor paying into social security, aka getting a paycheck and the state and feds find uout yuo didnt file, your eventually gunna get caught! or no?

They have already passed two "stimulus bills" and neither one of them has done anything to stimulate the economy. In fact, American citizens continue to watch as their homes are foreclosed on, the rise of tent cities throughout the country, and millions of people continue to lose their jobs. All this while top level executives of these institutions are issued bonuses courtesy of American taxpayer dollars. Some of they money is still unaccounted for because these companies refuse to divulge where and what they are using it for.

Now there are congressmen/women who want to pass a third stimulus package?

Someone should inform these people that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

It's because consumers are unable to boost the economy anyway. A stimulus is precisely that - it's MEANT to stimulate the economy.

Consumers are more likely to save now than to pump their stimulus benefits back into the economy to keep the income flowing and to create jobs for others.

$600 is quite measly, though... if I were stimulus control, I would really let it go into the thousands at least, if not to pay off bills and debt, of which leftovers can go into buying groceries.

A SECOND stimulus??? All this administration knows how to do is create more money to spend without thinking about the consequences!

Screw the fact that it devalues the dollar! Screw the fact that WE THE TAXPAYERS will be the ones dealing with hyperinflation because of their overspending!

I never thought I'd say this, but at least Harry Reid had good sense enough to say no to more government spending! Obama ought to lose whatever support he has left for even keeping this STUPID idea on the table!
