Obama to Call for $50 Billion Spending on Public Works

I can believe the 3 trillion dollars, but how did Obama become responsible for the 16 million unemployed?

He is the President and there are 16 million Americans unemployed, an increase of over 4 million from when he took office. Unemployment is up every month this year vs. last year so where are the jobs?

Just being president does it for you? Then Bush is responsible for 9/11.....we should hang him.
The economy is far more complicated than one man, even if that man is president. Corporate greed played a big part in every Wall Street debacle that has ever occurred.

Nice spin and diversion. Unemployment is higher today than when he took office and that number is now 16 million and doesn't include the private businesses that went out of business nor the contractors that lost their jobs. I never said he was responsible for the 16 million but that was the number he has now and has added to the unemployment number since he took office.
 
Federal spending on the war effort and public works is what got us out of the Great Depression.

It's called jobs people. When people have money, they spend it and the entire economy rebounds.

a great reason to lower taxes on those who are actually paying most of the taxes
 
By starting with “Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy,” I got my hopes up there for almost a second that this idiot was going to finaaly look History and realze that the whole idea of trying to Tax and spend our way out of recession has never come close to working and the opposeite is the answer.

We need tax cuts and reduced spending to increase the tax rolls I would send this Amateur In Chief a personal message to include a history lesson but I’m already on his enemies list because I’m smarter than he is, as are most of those who post he against this Socialist/Marxist wacko.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything

your solution to stop corporate greed is to feed politicians' greed and grow government?

Oh so you too graduated Magna Cum Laude from an Ivy league school?

I suppose you aren't the only one who can create such BS out of nothing, could you tell us how you came up with that stupid statement? Do you really believe that the corporate world can police itself? Especially when the political world is aiding and abetting the crime? The GOP is the guiltier of the 2 parties, but neither is innocent...

The corporate world is policed by the consumers who choose whether or not they purchase from that company. Who polices govt. spending and where our taxdollars go? You claim the GOP is "guiltier of the two parties" so I ask you guilty of what? Why do corporation activities which you can control bother you more than Govt. activities which you cannot control. No corporation forces you to buy anything from them but try denying the federal govt. of your tax dollars.

Obama didn't even make honors at Columbia meaning if he were white his chances of getting into Harvarrd law were less than 5% and he sure didn't have any other outstanding achievements when he applied. He did graduate MCL from HLS though. whether the grading was "blind" is a major question though. Then again Mitt Romney was 1st in his college class (he was top of his class at Stanford as well, but married during his mission and then transferred to BYU) and was top of his class at the Harvard B school as well as graduating from Honors from HLS.

If academic achievement was the issue in 2008, Romney had no peers.
 
A good way to employ some people and repair the massive rot to our infrastructure that occurred under the Bush years.

If the government would figure out that government can't create wealth and get out of the way of the private sector, then we can pay this new porkulus package.

I don't worry about corporations. If I don't like one I don't do business with it which is not true with the government. Corporations don't kill have a record of killing people. Ask Randy Weaver if that is true about the government or that poor guy in NYC that was shot 41 times reaching for his wallet.

Big corporations normally have competition. BIg government does not. Big Government has killed millions of people in the last century. Sorry, given a choice I prefer big corporations over a socialist or fascist government.

as to stupid comments, Doctor heal thyself
 
Better to spend money on OUR infrastructure than rebuilding middle east nations that are constantly at war with themselves....

How much did we spend to rebuild mosques in Egypt?

btw I realize you think making money is a crime

and at least I don't call myself something I am not

Moderate my six
 
50 billion really isn't an enormous amount compared to what we have spent on other things.

It's fifty billion dollars stolen from our children to pay goonionistas to vote socialist this November.

Does the nation need new roads?

No, it does not.

Does the nation need repairs o existing infrastructure?

Yes, it does.

Does the federal government already collect taxes putatively to maintain that infrastructure?

Yes, it's a part of the tax Americans and others pay at the pump.

How about if the government stop spending that money on wasteful projects and start spending it on what it was meant for, instead of pretending new uncovered spending is necessary to suddenly recover from the goverment's neglect?

Since repairs to existing roads will have completely zero effect on the commerce along those roads, the nation will gain nothing from this expenditure. Therefore, this spending should be balanced by spending cuts in other areas the government also has no business funding.
 
:roll: Look. Firstly I dont think all the stimulus money has been spent. Possibly allocated, but not spent from what I know. Second. Most economists would tell you the stimulus was too small, so Im not opposed to this plan. Third, without a stimulus wed definitely be worse off. In my simple understanding of economic increasing govt spending during a recession maintains output, preventing a worse outcome. Seriously you ARE blaming Obama in his 2 years for not being able to completely put of a disaster from the previous administration that he's inherited.

Obviously, you have zero economic understanding. With the porkulus packages, we still lost $293,000 more jobs. It doesn't take a super educated economist to figure out that Obama's plan hasn't worked.

libs cannot buy votes by doing what you say

they can buy the votes of the envious by telling those people that the dems will raise taxes on others to make the losers feel better about not being successful or not having the ambition to try to become wealthy

Yeah, all someone has to do is explain why the Rapist President campaigned on "infrastructure", and yet suddenly it's "Bush's Fault" all over again.

What does that prove? That the Head-Over-His-Head-In-Chief received a piece of paper from a college that has a bigger endowment than the rest?

It seems that there may be moe prejudice against Mormons than Blacks. Should not be bias against anyone, but I wonder what the conerns are with Mormon folks.

Yes I did if you call San Diego State an Ivy League School.

And I can read and understand our history.

Then again, since HALF of the Messiah's earlier Porkulus Stimulus package hasn't been spent, why exactly is it necessary to allocate more new money on these special projects?

If the Messiah's 400 billion dollar Magic Economic Restoration Plan didn't work, why is the Messiah and his dupes so frantic to pass this miniscule 50 billion dollar Union Renewal Fund?

Could it be that no one seriously believes that this money will be anything but the same kind of waste the Porkulus Stimulus has been, but the Messiah has to give the Democrats some bogus "rescue plan" to play politicis with before the November elections?

Are the unAmerican people stupid enough to swallow yet another baited hook?

The Americans can see it for what it is, and we're not biting.

good point-during the campaign (when it looked Like Mitt was gonna run against Hillary) a reporter went to some bible thump rally and quizzed a true believer about Ms Clinton and Hizzoner Romney. THe woman selected 10 positions-all of which agreed with Mitt. SO will you vote for Mitt asked the reporter? NO said the woman=he's not a real Christian and Ms CLinton is.

its disgusting. I wouldn't care if a candidate is Mormon, Hasidic, Santeria worships Ba'al or is a witch doctor if they are pro business, Pro America, Pro Tax payer, pro gun and pro freedom. He could sacrifice chickens in the Oval office and LIght a candle for Elvis for all I could care. The worst are those who worship big government and "economic justice" (marxist redistributionist nonsense)
