The New Bailout

Merc...such is life when you are the minority party.

If you dont get an equal voice at the table, you bitch and whine, ignore your own hypocrisy from when you had the power, then spread bullshit like the above and hope it sticks.

IMO, it may play to your base but it is not a winning strategy to attract swing voters in the future.

The partisan's only hope is for Obama to be completely ineffective, it will be total Limbaugh propaganda 24-7. Party before country.

So you completely accept that the double standards being displayed are status quo and will be the SOP for the next 4 years or more, and that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid lied about any kind of bipartisan solutions. Thanks at least for your honesty in the matter.

None of that is true. What is true is your posts read like Rush Limbaugh wrote them. That means little is true and the wacko extremists are in a tizzy trying to blame anyone else for creating our disastrous economy - by spending because "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter". A direct quote from a wacko extremists who spend money as if is were free and expendable.

Three 747s packed nose to tail with pallets of 100 dollar bills flown into Iraq and distributed without any accounting. That is fiscal responsibility from the same Republicans who fear to spend on Americans - and then blame Obama.

No wonder wacko ring wing extremists are so hysterical. They must get us to forget who spend money on things that only create recessions and routinely subverted things that made America productive. "Mission Accomplished".

Always hype hysteria first to blame someone else for American losing jobs. A Rush Limbaugh technique right out of Hitler's playbook. Incite hate in society's least intelligent members.

Spending cut where needed and that so anger extremist Republicans. From the Washingont Post of 13 Feb 2009:

The bill, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law Monday, limits bonuses of executives at all financial institutions receiving government funds to no more than a third of their total annual compensation. The bonuses must be paid in company stock that can only be redeemed once the government investment has been repaid.

Finally spending cuts are implemented where most needed.

Extremists Republicans enriched themselves and their supporters while reducing American incomes by 2%. Time to cut costs where Republicans don't want spending cuts.

There are apparently a million holes in that bill.

I think it was Otto von Bismarck who once remarked, "Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made."

Having been on the inside myself, I would agree.

The bigger the bill, the more grit in the sausage....but in the end, the results are what counts.

Personally, I dont think this bill was big enough in terms of spending on infrastructure and other short term job creation programs.

But, we'll just have to wait and see....and keep hearing about Pelosi's mouse!

What did you do?

Either way the D's win - If it works its their fix, if it doesn't it was Bush's fault in the first place.

And the less we hear about Pelosi - the better.

I just want to see the GOP spanked for a few years, out of general mean-ness and misanthropy.
