Obama's Trillion Dollar Stimulus

bailout=ok but jail is the answer

See the bailout is not the problem, we need the bailouts. GM needs a bailout, Chrysler needs god, but since we all logicaly know god does not exist Chrysler needs a something more then we can offer and thats the truth. These CEO's tho, they need to see other CEO's being crucified, killed, tortured and punished. Companies have killed people for profits and we the peole have let them do it and their punishment? a fine with a bunch of zeros and commas. This about that while you sip your latte...

Lee of MD comment to get 11,000,000,000,000,000.-RPA

Dear American,

Why you so panick to receive an income less than USD 50,000 per year while World Bank could only pour a loan for Aceh Tsunami less than USD 100 million to build its infrastructure. The Tsunami has killed more than 150.000 people at 26 December 2004 during all of American celebrated Chrismas. Aceh common people receive less than USD 4,000 per year. After 4 years Tsunami there are still thousands people stay at "barracks"

Bring it on

Get the Obama $1 Trillion stimulus to the little guys as well as the giants. I figure each person will need it to pay the tax that is surely to be imposed to pay for this bailout. But make it somewhere in the neighborhood of $30,000. I promise to spend half my stimulus buying a new car and then invest the other half establishing a business selling carbon credits to support Al Gore's global warming hoax and to pay for the fuel costs to keep warm while freezing temperatures sweep across the world.

So Sad!!!

I think it speaks volumes that the Chairman of GMAC financing has lost $millions in the Madoff Ponzi scheme at the same time GMAC is begging for bailout dollars!!! It seems we shouldn't be bailing out CEOs who are irresponsible with their own money not to mention the companies they have destroyed. Now we have a "Stimulus" proposed by our new President to further waste money instead of kicking butts, revamping our lending rules and getting the credit markets flowing again and determining where the money is going before losing any more. No matter the terminology, bailout, stimulus, corporate loans, tax rebates, ad nauseum, there are no free lunches so it would be better to use the money to rebuild our infrastructure than to simply mail out stimulus checks which are spent immediately with nothing to show for the effort. Let us stop the madness before it stops us permenantly!!!
