I do not get any more unemployment and need to worry about living expenses. What is the deal with the rebate? Are we getting checks and do we have to do anything to get them??
thanks

Now let’s talk about this stimulus package (for you common pathetic fools) for Wallstreet, Automakers & Bankers…we all agree with Mr. President Obama great plans.

With the trillions and billions (hehe) aid we are receiving, don’t you see we CEOs can afford to create HUNDREDS OF NEW JOBS for sucke…I mean hard working slav…Americans (yeah right…ill hire SOME but make sure their work is doubled, anyone complain ill just lay him/her off and hire some new fool that really needs a job).

Those who are asking for handouts…SHAME ON YOU this world is not all about YOU & and I might add the WORLD DOESN’T REVOLVE AROUND YOU !!!

Enough said! We the great leaders will put that stimulus money to good use and hopefully turn this economy issues around. (darn I have to fix my BUGATTI VEYRON…nevermind I better just buy a new one with my BONUS)

I remember an aritcle somewhere about how a family of 5 was having such a hard time living with an income of $500,000. After reading the article I literally had to sit there and say ” Are you kidding me?”. They were having a hard time paying for food because they bought a 2 million dollar condo in NY. And now we the middle class that is actually making money is starting to see that money go toward people like that. Im sorry but I shouldn’t pay for other peoples problems and no one else should pay for mine. Yes I could use the money but I dug this whole myself and I know its up to me to get out of it.

My last statement is that AIG needs to be controlled by the Treasury to make sure they pay back the $235 million that they still owe and to also stop the millions in bonuses to the Retarted Executives and CEO’s. Im am litterally sick of this in the news.

And I whole-heartedly agree that we need to start taking care of our own countries needs first. I honestly feel for all people that are in need of food and homes and medical care, but, face it, charity should start at home. Besides, why should we expect any nation to take us seriously when we preach to them about civil rights reform or any other issue when our own system is so screwed up?

You say that people like to buy nice things, that’s true, and there’s nothing wrong with that; as long as people know how to live within their means, plan for rough economic times (much easier said than done, especially these days), and are willing to part with those things (at least temporarily) when times get tough. Unfortunately, many people today are suffering because of those few people that can’t take care of themselves. It’s like the kid that chewed gum in class when you were in school. It only takes one guy to ruin it for everybody.

We would all like to think that the government could take charge and fix everything in our economy, but they’re all pretty much morons, and at what cost? Do we really want the feds making cars or being in charge of your home loans? It’s just more aspects of our lives that the government will be overseeing. And with all the “czars” that have been appointed lately (no, I don’t like that term, either) how much more of our tax dollars are being wasted? These are new government positions that come with a hefty paycheck, benefits package and usually a whole committee for each position. One could argue that you have to spend money to make money, and while that’s true for a business, it has no place in the federal government.

Were the bailouts a bad idea? Absolutely. One of the great things about a capitalist economy is that, while companies and individuals are given every opportunity to succeed, they are also afforded the same amount of opportunity to fail. That’s one of the great things about how our economy is supposed to work. Essentially, you reap what you sow.

My biggest fear (next to waking up without my penis) is that we will soon be reaping what our so-called leaders have been sowing for years. Each generation pays for the past one’s mistakes, but we may be bankrupt, literally and figuratively, by the time we and our children get finished paying for these.

This latest stimulus package could have been a lot better and more wisely spent, but, unfortunately, our government doesn’t think with the same logic that most people do. In fact, many would argue that the government uses no logic or common sense at all.

Don’t fool yourself, we haven’t seen the worst of the situation we all face right now. The way I see it, we will all be very, very fortunate to get through all of this and still end up speaking English when everything is all said and done. Chances are we’ll all be speaking Chinese in the next decade or so.

The United States of America, as it was first founded and envisioned, is gone and it will never return. The best we can do now is to try to rebuild in a different direction, because the political and economic systems in this country just plain don’t work anymore. The American dream that attracted our grandparents and great-grandparents to these shores is dead. People just can’t get ahead anymore because all of the politicians and Wall Street fat cats have created all of these ways to completely fleece and take advantage of all of the rest of us. It’s about time we just clean house, get rid of ALL the politicians, and start over from scratch. After all, a little revolution once in a while is a very healthy thing.
