Do the Blue Dogs care about balanced budgets? Do they oppose wasteful spending? Are they the taxpayer’s best friend, the conscience of the Congress, and the moderates who craft bipartisan solutions? Today is the day to prove it. If they help Congressional leaders pass this massive spending bill with no scrutiny, then they don’t really serve any purpose. And they’ll be reminded of it over and over again before the next election.
All deficit hawks—Democrat or Republican—need to oppose this compromise bill on the grounds that it punishes our children and grandchildren with too much debt.
UPDATE: Jim Geraghty reports that Rep. Allen Boyd already has a primary challenger.
Pelosi and Reid will continue to run Congress with an iron fist. Meanwhile they will continue to pull the puppet's (Obama's) strings and get what they want. They know they have a limited window to work in (next 2 years) and they are going whole hog.
ReplyDeletelook for more gun control, abortions, global warming waste, less drilling, more govt. It is the democrat way.
We all need to stop this pork spending and tell these present politicians that we do not need the stimulus bill, we just need to help the people, not politicans. GET THE GOVERNMNET OUT OF OUR WAY AND LET WE, THE PEOPLE HELP EACH OTHER. PELOSI, REED AND OUR PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, GET OUT OF OUR WAY AND STOP THIS. ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST STUPID AND IRRESPONSIBLE. WHY NOT GIVE AMERICAN CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO INVEST IN CD'S AND NOT PAY TAXES ON THE INTEREST. THIS IS ONE WAY OF HELPING THE BANKS CREATE MORE AVAILABLE MONEY TO LEND AND DIRECTLY HELPING OUR ECOMONY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE. YOU DEMOCRATS ARE JUST SPEND-SPEND-SPEND. THE PROBLEM WITH OUR HOUSING MARKET WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, IT GOES BACK TO THE CARTER AND CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. LET'S GET THE ECOMONY MOVING AND MAKE THE BANKS GIVE LOANS TO PEOPLE THAT COULD NOT AFFORD THE LOANS. LOOK LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW. AND THIS STIMULUS BILL, WHAT A JOKE! WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE $15,000 TAX CREDIT FOR BUYERS? THIS WOULD HAVE MOVED THE HOUSING MARKET
ReplyDeleteMAYBE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
I thank you for this web-site.
ReplyDeleteI am because I am so very depressed that this effort is continuing with this spending bill. It is not a stimulus, it is a welfare/spending bill. I am so frustrated that there is so many people following the un-American politicans because of a lack of ssimple intelligence to know what is happening. BO plans to be in Arizona this next week. I will be there with a sign that says . . . Please change and provide TRUTH.
There is a bright side to all of this. After two years or so when all America sees what has happened (if the press prints it correctly) with the loss of more jobS and further falling of the stock market along with the further bank demises even the liberals will vote Reprblican in the next election. Bad news is it might be too late by the next election and we still will have two more desperate years to go.
ReplyDeleteBy the way if Citibank goes under does it really effect us, I'll just go to the bank next to them. You will get under money in less than a month if they go under. I'll already seen it happen. That way there will be no more "executive" bonuses for the CEO's excellent performance which drove the bank under to begin with.
One other point does anyone realize we will be open to terroist attacks in the future with that but all being forgotten?
I have been telling people since the Beginning of
ReplyDeletethe Election ,that give Obama and the Puppet Masters Six Months and the People who Voted for this Great Talk of Change would see Exactly what they had Bought and paid for with all their hard Work getting Obama Elected . Our goverment talks about Tyranny abroard , what about the Tyranny in our own Goverment towards it`s Own People!!!!!
One way to help stop this is Put Mandatory 4yr Term Limits on our Senators & Congressman and then You would see the Bussiness as Usual Go Away . Corrupt Goverment has to GO!!!!!!!!!!
