If we don't pass the stiumulus package 500 million americans will lose there jobs, what's impressive about this is every american will have to have a job, lose a job, get another job and lose their job again, some will have to lose thier job 3 times to meet this goal.

Give her the benefit of the doubt. At least she was close. "500 million" sounds a lot more intelligent than "a gazillion".

Fear is a wonderful motivator:

Interesting stuff. If Congress doesn't spend $900 Billion, this lil' ol' recession is going to turn into a 'catastrophe.' So if he doesn't get everything he wants, he can say "I told you so."



By the way, everyone who reads this post needs to send me $100, or I'm going to make it get dark tonight.

We need more teenage boys riding bare-back so my post will be valid in 10 years.

i think instead of the "stimulus" we should go the other way... just let everything fail. most things have to come back....



call it the gardeners approach...
