Obama's Prime Time Pitch

Politifacts: Rep. Mitch McConnell is Dead Wrong on Obama's Stimulus.

$326 Billion of the $787 billion cost of the stimulus is from [[Tax Cuts]], according to this report by Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation.

That is not generally considered "spending"

It was Unfair to say the Democrats "Spent" the entire $787 Billion in [[One Month]]

The spending will take place over the next [[7 Years]], with the Bulk of it coming not in the MONTH it was PASSED, or even this YEAR, but in..

[YEAR 2010]

Same ole same ole.

Change in the crooks, not the crimes

The real problem is one of growth. Obama did acknowlage that and claimed he expected greater growth than predicted.
But until the mechanism of growth is addressed I think what we are getting just a bunch of bull.

Obama made significant references to a bottom up economy yet the Government is still trying to save a top down economic model that clearly did not work and will not work.

You cannot ignore the greater number of Americans other than to give them a small tax cut and expect them to magically become consumers once again, after losing 18% on average of their wealth, and faced with an economic model that seeks to keep them in debt because that debt literally represents income to the few.
The government is actually promoting the thought that if the consumers are able to borrow more increasing that debt, things will get better.

Until the mechanisms to restore the industrial infrastructure and to encourage Americans to participate in that restoration are in place, sustainable recovery is impossible.

Alleviating the debt of the Wall Street bankers is not going to get the job done. These are the people who make money by sucking America dry not by contributing to its economic health, and we cannot expect that leopard to change its spots.

I find it intresting how Dems are characterized as "tax and spend" which if you think about it is exactly correct. I wonder what happend to the Party of Reagan?? We'll be back... :)

Hope someone checks facts on the military site, moaa.org since it appears there's a great need there.

You cannot believe this silver tounged liar! If you do, contact me, I have some ocean front property in Arizona that is for sale!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key congressional committee on Wednesday approved a $3.45 trillion budget framework for next year that embraces many of President Barack Obama's priorities but spends slightly less than he sought.

After a long debate that went well into the night, the House of Representatives Budget Committee approved the blueprint along party lines 24-15 in response to the $3.55 trillion plan Obama submitted last month.

While Obama did not get everything he wanted, Democrats who control the committee included most of his priorities, including significant new investments in education and reforming the $2.5 trillion healthcare system to cover millions of uninsured Americans.

Obama, speaking at an evening Democratic Party fund-raiser, challenged his opponents to present alternatives instead of just criticizing.

"To a bunch of the critics out there, I've already said, 'Show me your budget!' I'm happy to have that debate." The Democratic president argues the investments he seeks, while expensive, will help pull the economy out of recession.
