How's That Bailout Working For You?

10 Comments

I'm still borrowing money

There is a need for long term solutions.

We need to make Bush's tax cuts permanent.

We should restore a balanced federal budget.

We need the consistant long term tax plan that George Bush started.

Without a consistant long term pro business and pro growth federal US tax policy American business can not effectively prepare their budget forecasting makin them reluctant to expand their businesses.

This is having extremely detrimental impact on the US economy. No thanks to the combative anti business liberals in congress.

Earmarks aren't going to bring stability to the US economy. We need a spending freeze.

Spending freeze?

Which Party wpould agree to that crackpot idea? Both Parties have decided that it is always a good idea to spend as much as possible, because if they kick a little down to the folks they're robbing they can get some cover from that.

And we do need a pro-business tax policy, but too often both Parties fall into the habot of turning anyone not living in a tar-paper shack into fat cats, and businesses get the shaft more than anyone. There are very few people with a strong voice within the G willing to take such a stand, and they sure as heck aren't listening to what WE have to say!

Good read.What the market sees,IMHO,is the BEGINNINGS of implementing socialism,or the end to free markets as we know them. The gov't needs to GTF out of the way,and not be picking winners or losers. How Bush can still say with a straight face after all this rigamarole he is a conservative is beyond my pay grade.

Hey, drop by

and let me know when you have a new post up. Speaking of confidence it was somewhat ammusing, if sad, to see Bernake and others continue to claim that bad times were ahead after the bailout robbing any confidence that might have been had from the bailout. It was like watching my son offer new suggestions to our daughter as to what she could do when we, her parents are trying to put her to bed. Shh! Shh! Shut up already!

Anyway, speaking of new posts; have one up at my place.

Right on, Flag


Now they're talking about another "rebate" to follow on the notable success of the "bailout"!

ANOTHER $300 billion!


Simply amazing. You mentioned Homer Simpson; he looks like a bloody Einstein compared to the fools in DC.

Bailout

Well, I am not sure if I want to quite my job, lax on my mortgage, credit cards, car payments, etc...and wait for all the good things to come to me in the form of a check.

And now Pelosi wants another bailout. Okay, where is this non-stop printing press or money tree? I have got to get me one quick!

Brian, Sue, et al

Brian: Weren't these the same people who pitched a bloody fit when Bush sent out his first rebate checks lo thos many years ago? And weren't they the ones saying the stimulus package was a terrible idea? So why is this one any different? I guess they just see it as a few more dollars they can tax you for having!

Sue: They can print money all day long, but the more they print the less it's worth! Don't look for the money tree...look for a gold mine!

Flagwaver

Amazing - how they just want to keep dishing it out. No worries here. Barney Frank was babbling the other day about dishing out more money. When does it stop? Or does it?

Gold mine anyone?

I remember Pelosi having a fit when Bush gave out the money for the stimulus check. Harry Reid told us it would not work and then Pelosi chimed in. Another, it was Bush's idea, so we hated it, now it's ours, and we love it.
You know, we were for it before we were against it, but it's ours, so we are for it and won't be against it.

Yeah, Flag


The mendacity reaches new heights!

"That was then, this is now".

It Stinks

The bailout has put a damper on my ability to purchase a house. I am not happy about it. The market is "on hold" waiting for the bailout money. Grrrrrrrr!

New post up at my place if you or your readers care to stop by.
