Obama took a pass (as did his incredibly credentialed economic staff of about two people) and left the stimulus package in the hands of Nancy Pelosi and her trusty sidekick, Tonto.... errr I mean Harry Reid. What emerged was not a simulus package, but a pork filled goodie package of paybacks and payoffs. These are the facts and they are tragic.<br /><br />What's worse is that the Republicans propsed legislation that would have solved the problem. The biggest lie of the 21st Century so far is the bullshit that the Republicans are the party of "no." The Republicans were ignored and beaten back. Go back and look at my blog for the last six months. I've written about this extensively. And look at some of the replies. There was an awful lot of "We won, get over it" discussion both here and on the House and Senate floor. <br /><br />Here's what bothers me the most... you simply can't see this.Bob Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171655256407149176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-6804335313893812912009-07-15T13:44:29.194-05:002009-07-15T13:44:29.194-05:00Madmike, LOL thank you for proving my point so we...Madmike, LOL thank you for proving my point so well.<br /><br />Unless you possess a crystal ball how could you possibly be so irresponsible as to make the statement that if something were not done we would now be well down the road to a full blown out depression.

The Obama administration is not staffed by fools. The credentials of those who examined the long term impact of the stimulus are impeccable. Everyone knows that it is a risk that is being taken. Everyone knows, or should know, that the incoming administration had little choice as a result of the disastrous 8 years under the Bush stewardship. <br /><br />The fact is that if something were not done we would now be well down the road to a full blown out depression. <br /><br />President Obama has been in office less than 5 months and already he is being pilloried by those who have no faith. I think I am going to reserve judgment and give the stimulus time to work, and it will work, we just need patience and we need to trust our government. I warrant this is a hard thing to do after 13 years of Republican rule and those horrible eight years under the feckless presidency of George W. Bush.Kentucky Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753739401363847764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-54582879447492106972009-07-10T13:12:28.206-05:002009-07-10T13:12:28.206-05:00I find it both funny and ironic that so many pundi...I find it both funny and ironic that so many pundits are pillorying Ca. and NY for their insolvency and Ca.'s IOUs while completely ignoring the fact that the federal government has a 14 digit deficit! So how, exactly is owing 10's of trillions of dollars, AND STILL BORROWING MORE, a good policy? We are becoming more and more beholden to sovereign funds and foreign investors that our elected leaders can not act in the US's best interests. It's both sad and unsustainable.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920211181249667424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-52945274976970928792009-07-10T12:50:22.463-05:002009-07-10T12:50:22.463-05:00Before the election, I was not expecting this econ...Before the election, I was not expecting this economic downturn to be as bad as it has gotten and will be. I took some comfort the moderates who said Obama would be too constrained by the economy and deficit to promote his liberal agenda. I realized he was very liberal, but it simply didn't occur to me he would so agressively pursue it with no concern for the massive borrowing.<br /><br />You were right so many months ago...it is like watching a slow motion train wreck.shoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072061163666081867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-37202233482306148372009-07-09T22:41:06.339-05:002009-07-09T22:41:06.339-05:00There are rumblings of a stimulus junior, too.
